While this event was not upon the
official program, it was nevertheless
staged and managed to the satisfac'
ton of all. All noted "cubists,' in
Guiding Ware, Simpson, Rice, Clarity,
Abbott and Cherry, appeared, and
each in turn demonstrated various
methods of passing the cubes. The
contest was under strict military SUI
pervision and well carried out,
Touching the Bull or luck" was
one of the features. Clarity was
easily the most able of the assem-
bled artists and constantly kept the
audience in an uproar with his impli-
cations to all, from Caesar" to
"Plebe."

racked his brain for an appropriate
tune, Simpson broke out with the IA

winner.
Boxing Matches.
AS a preliminary to the big bout,
blind-fold match was pulled off, with
Rogers winning over Hagen, Jourdan
and Haines.

tie royal at the finish could scarcely
be beaten as a mirth producer.
RED" Rice and Jim Wallace put on
one of the cleverest exhibitions of
glove work seen here for many day.
AS usual Red amused the specta-
tors with his fancy steps and move
ments, but, while he never had to ex-
tend himself to any great extent, he
often found Wallace pushing him
around the ring and breaking through
his fancy arm work with telling blows.
After three exciting rounds the affair
was declared a draw.
