step to the top of the ladder in their
divisions.
The bout between Grant and Kelly
was by far the treat Of the evening
Kelly is a youngster in the game who
tips the beam at around 1913 pounds,
and gave Jimmy a tough time of It
for eight rounds. Grant got angry in
the ninth, and stopped Kelly with a
hard right to the jaw after the latter
had put up one of the greatest scraps
witnessed around here in some time.

victory to his long list when he
knocked ont Eddie Walsh in two
rounds. Walsh started after Young
as if he meant to stop the newsboy
champ in a round, but class told, and
Walsh took the count in the second
session.
The three amateur bouts also
brought out some interesting milling,
considering that the confess ants were
but beginners at the game. All rounds
were cut to two minutes.
Professor Magee gave a great ex-
hibition at dumb bell swinging, and
also put up a good wrestling bout
against Jim Prokos. the Greek de-
mon. The latter, however, won in two
straight rails.

Vaudeville and PhotopIays.

On Thursday at the Auditorium good three pleasing vaudeville acts and moving pictures of good standard billed for the rest of the week. Hurot and Kelsey were heard in the latest songs and jokes that class them as a clever pair. Jonathan, the talking carto0nist, was more than clever with the crayons and his line of talk kept good humor in his listeners. The vaudeville per formance ends with one of the best musical acts staged in this city. The Artistic Trio, with the combined music of harp violin and sweet singing, brought the house to immediate ap- pIause. The feature film was based on mental psychology and was a three part drama picture entitled The Tri- umph of Mind. The comedy picture afforded plenty of laughter, Cookooville Goes Skating.
