The iierfermcrs wero nil amateurs of this city, and It must be said that they gave oneof the host shows cver seen hore by home tilent, The programme was very long, containing no less than seventceu variety acts. The show opened with n laugh able sketch entitled "Who's Who," hut the actors railed te selve that dlftlcutt problem. The Apelle Quartotle, consisting of Harry and .tee Goedhart, Henry Shiudle and Jehn Hill, sang a nuniber of ballads and comle songs and made way for Jehn Trewllz, the young musician, who Is se well and raverably known In the city. He played well upon a large mimber or Instruments, nt ene tline using four ploces. Mrs. Lucy Ciimmings very gracefully swung Indian clubs ranging In weight from 5 te 40 pounds. At the close of her act she was presented with n beautiful large club, which was the gift et thoMeutrovillo Athletla combination nnd hore an Inscription setting forth the fait. Tem Dally maue the speech mid Mrs. Ctimmings received It with thanks. Ed Fralley shewed wonderful Improvement as a ventriloquist. The npplo-eating contest, which followed was the funniest act en thu bill. Threo npples wero tied te a string stretched across the shige nnd they were ntxmt four feet from the fleer. Three liys were selected from the audience, and, after their hands had been tied behind them, they wero turned loeso upon the npplcs te ent thorn as seen as XMslble. The strings seen breke and the apples rolled upon tlie fleer ; till) lieys followed suit, and chased them idl ever the stage.

The latter was presented with u handsome geld badge. It was n gift rrem his friends and Is se Inscribed. Peter S. Geedman made the speech. Tem Daily's locture convulsed tlie nudlcnce and his make up was strikingly original. MontreviHo and Law son gave a neat boxing act of three rounds, and they wero followed by Geerge Cuminlngs, the well known acrobat, who among ether nets threw somersaults from his knees. Win.

The musical actef Heycr, Peee, Sprecher nnd the Carter Brethers was a pleasing teaturoeriiio entertainment, xney pleyed upon the violin, guitar, harmonica nnd banjo, and confined themselves te the latest music This act also introduced Chas. Shay, w he made n trcmondeus hit as tlie aged negre, but positively refused te netice nn encore. WitmernudShaum closed thospec thespec lalty part of the entertainment with a very clever brother act. Bofero last night the jieople who took part In the show had no ro re Iiearsals together and, considering that fact, they deserve great credit for the maimer in which they acquitted theiuselvcu. Several of them wure presented witli baskets of beau tiful flowers, trult, etc., during the evening. An EtclLlng EihujgliiK Match. The evenlng's entertainment closed with a sparring match botween Frank Moutrevlllo nud Lewis Munrec. This was the event or the show, and many in the audience cime rer the purpese oleno or witnessing it. Fer seme tline thore has been nu ill-feeling be tween tliose men nnd each one clalmed te be the better sparrer. Hecrjntly, MontreviHo is sued a challenge offering te sjiar a number of men In this city, Including Munree,Jnt this entertainment The contest was te be with soft blnckened gloves for points, and each man was te put up ?500. MontreviHo iiestcd the whele or ids meney, and Munroe, after ac cepting the challenge put up SU5. They then slgned articles of agroement hi the prosence of witnesses ; ene of the terms of this agreement was that Munree was te put up tlie remainder ei ins meney en or liefore January 1st, or ferreit the money ulrcady up. Munree tailed te pest his last 525. The men met last evening before the shewaud had seme het words ever the matter, but ngrecd te appear. It seen becaine whis whis pered around the audience, that thore would lw moie hard hitting in the contest than selence, nnd se it resulted. Lach man had many friends present, nnd there was considerable oxcltemout. When the tline for the sot-te was announced it wus found that no roferee was en hand as the men had railed te ugrce upon any one, although they had iilenlv of time te de se. The niitlieiice at ence began calling for diflerent parties but all rofused fera time. Finally Frank Parker, the ball player, censcutcd te act and Jehn Trcwitzwas chosen tlmc-keeiier. The men then came upon the stage with their seconds nml tlie fun began. It was evident from the start that there would be seme heavy hitting. Heth men seenied te get excited as the tight progressod. The first round wus but a stand oil, both had qulte n number of marks, nnd although Munree seemed te be hitting the harder, his epiHinent nppearcd te be doing mere of it. when time was called the men retired be hind the scenery and wlicu they again put in nn nppearauce tlie lamp black was still upon their faces. Tlioaudience began te wonder by what method the winner was te be de termined, and they have net been enlighten- ed en the sublect vet The secend round showed that the men were determined te lilt hard, despitu the efforts oftlie roferee te prevent It and without regard te blackened gleve contest rules. They began pounding each ether nnd MontreviHo escaped marks at a number of times by his clever style or ducking. Finally the men clinched. At this timu the excitement was great in all parts or the building, the friends or both parties kept yelling te thelr men. Te prevent any further disturbance, the curtain wus rung down, amidst great excitement, en a noisy audlence in which thore wasalarcuBnrhiklimref nolice. When the men stepped both had plenty of marks but MontreviHo showed the feast The rererree was unable te tell w he had wen the match us the contest was net as in tonded. It wus n slugging 'utl'ulr through out, nnd ene or the best nets was te run down the curtain as the management did. Tlie nudlcnce was divided as te tlie result or the fight und the two contestants nre dissatisfied, each still claiming te be the better man. The only way Ter them te decide the matter is te have a fight with hard gloves when seme- iKKiy will iiave an opportunity or Doing knocked out This afternoon Menreo and Moutrevlllo called upon tlie stake-holder and came te an amicable arrangemeutaboutthe stakes.

Real grief was mani fested by her trlends when they missed her j they thought she was iejt te them ferever. On their arrival nt Cincinnati the steward left the beat and the kittens disappeared with him. Three or four days afterward the Ariadne arrived from bole'w, and the gray pussy came up en her. Ne ene knows hew she found out that beat was lieund up the river instead of down, for ether beats had stepped at that place, but only this ene going up te Cincinnati. Puss was seen installed in her old home again, but the kittens were net, and she was lonesomo ; se she went out en the wharf beat nnd found a peer, forlorn kitten, nearlyns large as hcrself.
