Theie eie two ten-iound bouts, the iiist between Toby Oatdnei, ot this city, and Stee ri.m aghan, of Philadelphia, one hundied and ten pound men; the second between Kmll I3eck, of Phlladtlphla, and Billy Jeiome, of Siiacuse, ho weighed In at 1JJ pounds.

One of the most Intel estlng of the iiiuiiv let cut leituies at the (Jieen Kldge llbiaiy wus that delheied l.'st night b Attoinev A. V. Bowel, who sought to pioe that Lotd Bacon was Hit utithoi of the Hhakespeaiean plas a v. nownit. The title of the lee tin e was "Who Is the Authoi of Shakes"peaie'.'" Upon Its conclusion the Inipiesslon uie ailed that Mr Bower hud piesented some ei lucid and .com incins uicuments. Mr. Bower disc-aided the uptogium tbeoiy of Ignatius Donnelly and othpr theoiies built upon Isolated passages. He piesen.ed ciicumstuntlal evldencj fiom an bistoilial standpoint of Sbakespeaie's life and euily tiainlntr It contained no eIdence that he was cither inclined oi fitted to wilte the woiks attilbuted to him. In un examination of the woiks and the necessaiy qualities to modULe them, many weie impiessed tint no man ot that age, Loid Bacon except ed, had the ability to pioduce them M.. Bower sought to substantiate this by showing that theie was a plain link between the philosophy of the pla s and Bacon's, the lellslou of the nluvs and Bacon's, the mistakes of the plays and Bacon's. It was a most staitllng fact to con sider the unlimited number of patallol c.xpiesslons fiom the plays and fion. Bacon's authenticated wiltlnss. Mi Bower enumeiuted many Instances of this kind and held that they wc"? pi oofs that Bacon was Shakespeaie, or, that Shakespeaie was Bacon Shakespeaie left no conesnondonce and no books behind him. His dauch tei, Judith, when 27 Jeais old, could not v. lite her name Only the of Sbakespeaie's signatuies weie left be hind htm and when he made his will he made no mention of plas, theoiies, llbiaiies or any tiling to Indicate f.'ut he was the authoi of the woiks which beai his name Some of the iiteate. t Shukespeaieun woiks weie not pub lished until seven yenis aftei his death. Though twenty yeais in Condon, Shakespeaie was known, to onlj Bun Johnson out of nil of the llteiatv cliuiaeteis ot that time. I'imliutrd Populiiiitj. The populuiltj of the Westminster hotel.
