BATTLING G ] ] ] PROGRAM AT
 SMOKER

 night as the guest of the crew of the Prometheus at a smoker and enter tainment which was one of the most enioyable affairs of the kind ever given in the town. Eagle Hall was the scene of pleasure and was artistically decorated with large flags and the fes- tooning of the national colors. A sixteen foot ring was built in one end of the hall and the roped arena fired the sporting blood of those who de- light in exhibitions of the manly art. The seating arrangement was ideal and attentive ushers handled the large crowd in a most satisfactory manner. As the guests entered they were pre- sented with souvenir program and of- fered the choice of cigars or cigaret- tes. A six piece orchestra was in at- tendance and played several ovr rtures, as we'll as furnished inspiring music as each number was rendered. For the success of the affair much credit is due E. F. Bilson, chairman. C. A. Gobel secretary, and p. O'Brien, L. Carpenter, F. M. Payne, B. R. Parker, J. s. Stehsel and c. c. Goeltz, mem. bers of the committee on arrange ments.
 The fun started promptly at 8:3O o'clock with a three round sparring
 bout, 126 pounds. between H. Stubbs and w. O'Lague, who mixed it up fast enough to suit everybody. They were evenly matched and the referee de cided it a draw. Then came a three round go, 16O pounds, between c. Dick man and l.. Carpenter. The latter was a little too scienced for his op- ponet, but no decision was given.
 The main event of the evening was a six round bout, at 160 pounds, be- tween R. Schuetz. champion of the Prometheus and Geo. Hickman, Cor dova's favorite Unfortunately it did not last long, owing to an accident which befell Hickman. In first round the Cordovan started in to lead, which resulted in both men putting up a good fight. Hickman fell, but was imme- diately on his feet and did not realize that he had injured himself until he was knocked down in the second round and was unable to rise. He~was compelled to take the count and Schuetz given the decision. Upon examination by Dr. Council he found that Hickman had broken a bone in his right ankle. The injury was dress ed and Hickman taken to the hospital, where he is now resting comfortably.
 An amusing event was a cup fight between B. H. Johnson, F. Czarnetzky, A. Tiegden and w. J. OLague. Ken meth Holden gave a clever imitation of an Indian dance and told a couple of funny stories. The wrestling bout between c. c. Goeltz and 0. l.. Fahlen- kamp was draw. The exhibition of Japanese sword fencing was a novelty that was appreciated. J. N. Allen, as the worlds heavy weight litter, did his part well, while the Indian club swing ing by J. A. Wagster was very good. Then followed an intermission of ten during which time refresh ments, both liquid and solid, and cigars were passed.
 The second part of the program consisted principally of vocal and in- strumental music, headed with a rag time piece by Goe. Dooley. J. S. Steh- sel and J. Buchanan. A wrestling match between Billy Horseshoe and one of the Prometheus crew was full of ginger. H. H. Chittenden sang a solo in good voice and later played a violin solo. The Bit of Rag time by B. Sacharski and c. w. Swan ton made hit. The musical stunt by J. Buchanan H. H. Chittenden and J. McGinnis was thoroughly enjoyed as we'll as the selection by the Litte Town Quartette The oldtime stag affair wound up with the best of feeling all round, and the the Prometheus boys were voted royal entertainers.
