who favored with songs were Charles Alond, Oscar Anderson and the inimltable Billy Stoneman, with an absolutely new song direct from the London concert halls. Jimmy Farrell impersonated DeWolfe Hop per in q rendition of Casey at the Bet" which was excellently done, and Jay John stone gave some of his ever-popular Swedish dialect stories The audience was regaled with many stories of humorous nature, and then lunch was announced, and the quests did justice to fine assortment of viQnds.
 After lunch came the athletic events and to say that these were enjoyed Is putting il mildly. As q starter, 'Eat 'Em Up' John son and Charles Alond engaged in a two round bout with the gloves. Johnson's well known cleverncss with his dukes" stood him in good stead, as he found Q worthy opponent in Mir. Alond. The per fectly impartial referee Louis Siter, de clared the contest a draw,
 The second contest was between the Mutchler brothers, George and Jack. The audience seemed to be in the same frame of mind as the neutral who declared that he didn't care who licked Germany. Both were on their feet when the bout ended, and the referee, true to his undoubted fairness declared this contest Q draw also.
 The closing event was four round bout between Eddie Kimball and Red" Lewis. Lewis was boxer of some note, and was built cn the Bob Ftzsimmons order, over topping his younger and lighter opponent by several inches, and apparently outreach- ing him by several feet But young Kim ! ball. who had just reached here over the trail from Seward was in perfect physical condition and proved to be more than a match for his burlv antagonist. With re markable foot work to aid him, he landed almost at will on Lewis, and got away be fore lLe big fellow could repay him in kind. At the end of the first round Lewis realized thct he had "caught Tartar" and in the second round came up with moro warness than before. But he was no match for the skill and youth of Kjmball, and the round ended greatly to the disadvantage of Lewis.
 The third round proved to be wonder fully clever exhibition of boxing. Lewis took the aggressive from the start and waded into the youngster, but when he , launched his long Lawmakers Kimbeli was not there, and the latter succeeded in delivering many heavy jolts without wait
 ing for receipt. Occasionally Lewis would get in stinging blow on Kimball and once the latter was carried off his feet, but he he'd all the better of the round, and finished as strong as when he started. kimbsll made great hit with the audience
 The affair wound up with a sing g-song, "
 in which all indulged and the pieces in cluded all the old fayortes. Many fine voices were in evidence and some not so fine; but all evidently enjoyed it, and Gus the barber became so enthusiastic that he joined whole -heartedly in the singing of ''Tipperary" which he explained was an Irish SOng anyway.
