8 THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 23, 181)8. CORBETT IS DEFEATED Concluded from I'flife 1. those who had not made early provi sion had to pay exorbitant jiileos to the wide awake speculators, who snnp ped up the best seats eaily In the Katne. Tickets for scats In the Im mediate vicinity of the ring brought fabulous prices tonight. The original cost of these paste boards wis twen ty dollars each, but ihen twice that Hum could not purchase one of tlii'in In two instances they brought $100 apiece. The other tickets, eostlnff from to to $1,1, brought prices Increased two and throe fold and the club niuii ngcnient did not put any of the 3 ad mission tickets on sale. The anxious sports who clamored at the entrance! plutlly paid SZ and In many Instances .fs for the privilege of standing up at the cxtietne ends of the building. The club bouse Is not very well ndapled for pugilistic encounters, as 5t Is long and narrow, having been built for nn lco skating rink. The ring It pitched In the center of the house and the boxes are built around It. On each each of the box Inclosure tier upon tier of chairs ore ranged on n gradually Inclined structure which very nearly touches the root f the building at both ends. On each stde of the structure are large jullerlcs running nearly the entire length of the house and these elevated places were partitioned Into Finnll boxes, which vcie eonsldeied the best of vantage. The view from any part of the building was tinobsttucted. The doors of the big building vor; thrown' open shortly after five o'clock. 'At that early hour hundreds of people were waiting patiently In front of the I'lub boue on Lexington avenue. An noon ns the first comers pissed through the turnstiles other took their places on the outside and this continued for over three hour. The crouds were kept in check by a large force ot 1'Ollee. AVIiIlc the croud was a large one, it was never beyond the control ot tli" police and In fact was not as Johm as the authorities expected. Inside the building all was bustle and excitment, but at S o'clock the house was scarcely half tilled. TIiIm was easily accounted for by the fact that the big event was not scheduled to take place until about ten o'clock, the holders of coupons for reset ved scats Mere Ir. no hurry to get up town In he cooped up for any unnecessary length of time. The gambling Instinct which Is a necessarw adjunct to all manner ot fistic contests was In evl dinre as soon as the sports began to gilthcr In the bo.es. COKBKTT STOCK HIOH. Corbctt's stock was always In pref etence and the odds on the Callfornian opened at 100 to SO. The betting did not take on ns lively a turn as on former occasions when lighters of less note have met In this arena. So much betting had been done dur ing the last forty-eight hours, how ever, In the ."porting resoits through out the city that the slackness of the wagering on the spot did not Indicate any loss of Interest in the heavy weight bout. A few minutes before S o'clock those Inside the building beard loud cheer ing nnd the word was passed around that some one of Importance had ar llved. This was true. It was Sharkey who received the ovation as be drove up to the club house accompanied by holiday Talk Not too early to consider this prop ositionChristmas is only some six weeks forward. The holidays have a direct bearing upon our business. They create a demand for special lines the many lines of novelties and novel wares for gift usages. Hence the special efforts that have been put forth months ago and are now being put forth to make this year's collection and display unprecedented. It's too early to speak in detail of the many lines, so only this men tion of some of the exclusive sorts that were gathered by our buyer while on the continent during the summer, and which are now receiv ing here, for the first time, the light of day on American soil. There are Bronzes, Leathers and Dresdens from Germany; Hand Painted Toilet Articles, Nic-Nacs and Jewelry from France; Ivory, Cut Glass, Silver and Gun Metal Novelties from England. All the important art centers of the old world have representatives in this veritable pan-municipal show. It's a duty owing to yourself to see ths vast collectiou of Statuettes, Busts, Vases, Toilet Things and Table Ar ticles. It's not a good time to cry of prices art is not measured by dol lars and cents. Therefore it's in consistent to shout "Cheap! Cheap !" in the same breath with "Finest and Best." Yet in truth we hold the matter of price as highly important. There is no sentimentality in our prices each mark is based on a business percentage of the cost.and the goods cost less than you ex pectthat's triumph enough.

Evidence Which Is Itlght to the Point and Reliable. Judge Fiank Ives, of the District Court, of Crookston, Minn., say: For some time I have used Htuart's Dys pepsia Tablets with seeming great benelltB with few exceptions, I have not been so free from Indigestion In twenty-five years, George W. Uoosevelt, U. S. Consul to Brussels, Belgulm: Stuart's Dspepsla Tablets, safe, pleasant to take, conven ient to carry, give keen appetite, per fect digestion. 3Ir. W. D.

George Dixon and Hob Armstrong, his? colored handlers. Hy half past 8 o'clock nearly every seat In the house was occupied. Hank ers and brokers were In prominence, lawyers of note nnd business men. lepresentlng neatly every phase of trade, mingled with well known politi cians nnd held unlimited conversa tions In close proximity to the ring side. One well known member of the produce exchange took the Sliaikey end of one of the laigest wagcrn of the night which was Jl.r.OO to $1,300 on Corbctt. Joe Vendlg Inid the odds on the Callforulaii. The llrst of the two preliminary bouts was begun at S.-l.' o'tloek. The principals weie two local boxers, Jnck Sullivan and Cluuley Schultz, who were announced to go ten rounds at 13."i pounds. This proved to be a slugging match, utterly devoid of science. It was full of ginger, however, and amused the spectatois, who laughed heartily at the clumsy but earnest woik of both men. The men had hardly shaped them selves for the seventh round when Schultz put off n straight tight hand smash full on Sullivan's .law which put him down and practically out. The referee, Charley White, then hu manely stopped the bout and declared Schultz the winner. KID M'COY IN DISC.CISi:. Dutlng the progress of this bout there was a commotion In a box at the ringside. Kid McCoy, the pugilist who Is to meet Peter Maher at Coney Isl and next month, had gained admis sion to the arena disguised with false black whiskers and moustache. Some days ago Tom O'Hourke, the manager of the club, forbade McCoy the pilv llege of entering the club house, al though the "Kid" had been engaged by a morning newspaper to write the story of the big light. A careful watch was kept by the men on the door so that he could not get in, but he cleverly battled the vigilance with his disguise. As soon as he took his seat nt the ringside McCoy was recognized and he removed his hirsute appendages. Detectives Sergeant Armstrong or dered McCoy to leave the building, but the "Kid" refused. Then Armstrong and Detective Mulhollnnd urged Mc Coy to leave and caught hlin by the arms, nt the same time pushing him through the crowd. McCoy left very reluctantly, protesting ns he went. The officers left McCoy nt the entrance to the building nnd he walked out on Lexington avenue. As be passed each door on his way out McCoy demanded a pass-out check nnd was accommo dated. The Incident caused a good deal of excitement but the spectators soon settled back In their seats and forgot the little episode. SHCOND PHULIMINAHY. The second preliminary bout brought "Kid" Harris, of Chicago, and Charley Hoden, of Jersey City, together. They boxed at 10S pounds. Harris had the advantage In height and leach, but Hoden made up for this advantage with a wonderful supply of pluck nnd ug gresslveness. Hoden was overmatched from the start. In the ninth round Harris about knocked him off his feet with a right cross on the Jaw. arrls then went nfter his man and had him reel ing when the gong sounded with lefts and lights on both Jaws. AVhen Hoden went to his coiner it was found that his Jaw was broken, and Charley White stopped the bout then and there and awarded the fight to Harris, During the Intervul between the Harrls-Hoden bout and the nnlvul of the big fellows betting of the liveliest kind took place. Many big wagers were made, amounting to thousands of dollars. Some of the biggest bookmak ers in the country were umong the most Interested betters, und they bet both ways whenever nn opportunity offered. Some of them were simply gambling on the event and were tr.vlna to pick a winner, while others could not forego the chance of making a percentage book. Joe I'llman was one of the latter sort and his bets were as varied as they were numerous. He always look ed for ifie shade. Corbett's backers forced the price of the Cullfornlan to $100 to $70 Just as It was learned Unit the ex-ehiuuplon had reached the club house and was In his dressing room. At 20 minutes aftei 9 o'clock a buzz of excitement run through the build ing und Tom Sharkey pushed his way through the betting crowd. Ho was uttlred In u light blue drepslng gown underneath which he hud un Ameri can Hag wound around his waist for a belt. He was accompanied by his manager, Tom O'Hourke, John T. Dougherty, George. Dixon, Hob Arm strong and Jack Held, who acted as his seconds. Professor Jimmy DeFoivst held the watch for the Irishman. Sharkey nev er looked better In his life and bald he weighed ITS pounds He was very conildent und exhibited no sign of ner vousness?, Announcer Charley Hurvey called thi attention of the on-Iookers to the fact Hint the principals wished them to rofiain from smoking und immediately all cigars which were being Industri ously puffed were trodden nnrtr foot most willingly. The crowd was beginning to be un ensy nt Corbett's delay In making his appearance, when some one In the gal leiy shouted: "Three cheers for Shnr key." These were riven with a will and repeated all over the house. Corbott did not reach the ringside until 10.38 o'clock, Just 13 minutes later than Sharkey, At 10.4S the men were Introduced by Announcer Charley Harvey, Sharkey's name being mentioned llrst, and Tom had to bow repeatedly In recognition of the cheers which greeted htm. The ovation given to Corbett was more demonstrative, cheeis lasting over a minute. A WILD CHEER. There was a wild cheer ns he was seen making his way to the ringside When he reuched the steps leading up to the ring Corbett stopped for a mo ment to shake hands with some friends. Then he climbed nimbly through the ropes and tested his arms on them for a few seconds, during which time he smiled across the ring nt O'Hourke who stood In front ot Sharkey. Corbctt wns enveloped In a dnrk olive green dressing gown. His hair was parted In the middle nnd carefully combedund brushed. His second!" were Charley White, George Consldlne, Jack MoVey and John Consldlne, of Detroit, acted ns his timekeeper. Iloth men had their choice of the sets of gloves. Corbett selected his pnlr which were made for hint in California. They were a pair of typical lighting gloves, being Just shaped to the clinched list, wherens Shurkey's were the long tapering glove usually donned by boxers. They were nearly an Inch and a half longer than his opponent'? which would give him an opportunity of forcing the hnlr In the gloves away from the knuckles. The gloves were of the reg ulation weight of five ounces as pro vided bv the Horton law. Cor bctt wore white trunks and a led, while and green sash, which his sec onds took off as soon as he stood erect. Sharkey wore green splits, held by a belted American Hag. Theie was a long confab between the principals, their seconds and the referee, after which the men retired to their cor ner. After having agreed not to hit In clinches or In breakaways and that they would step back when ordered t" break away, everything wns In or der for the bout to begin. FENNESSEY EXONERATED.
