honor and thus won the sobriquet of tin

months ago defeated Dempsey, but the
victory was due to an itookient. Derapsei
is a very sick man. Defeat to him mane
abeolute ruin, and his beart is broken.
The arrangements for the fight °Could
hardly have been improved on. All along
the paths and aisles there were drone
guards of police. The amphitheatre has
removable roof. The somewhat chill)
weather of lam led to the place being weir
roofed tonaight. Under a square of eleotrie
light stood the ring. It was 24 fee e ecenare,
of turf and of river sand, and jest loose
enough to be springy. The ropes and
stakes were padded. Four feet from the
ring wee another enclosure with barbed
wire insteed of ropes. Between the two
rings were chairs for the seconds and the
wire fi nee ensured the pugiliatic pude
from ontaide interference. Between the
ring and stands W88 a sort of excavation in
which the press stands were placed. No
wires were allowed into the grounds, et the
correspondents fared alike. The eame
impartiality was shown in the division of
Beats, and club messengers left the stands
at stated in '
tervals and oltib melee carried
all copy direct to the telegraph office.
Fitzsimmons was the first contestant to
reach the club. It was a part of his pro-
gramme to reach the grounds before any
of Dempsey's follows -re could get a sight of
him. Carroll had so arranged it, expect-
ing that the giantaike, long boned, unusual
proportions of the New Zealander would
strike terror into the heart of the American
oharopion. Fitzeinemone appeared in fine
condition. His skin was akar, his eyes
bright, and his good nature surprising.
Dempsey arrived later and bore a serious
look, with an 000ssional knitting of brows
end a grim smile, which showed that be
had needs up his mind for deeperate work.
Dempsey was trained rdown ae fine as a
race -bone. His muscles were strong, pliant,
supple and well developed. He did very
little work to -day so as to piok up a few
pounds by night. Although Dempsey
looked perfection for his inches he was
markedly oversbadowed by the ungainly,
awkward looking giant with ewinging arms.
THE ATTENDANCE AND THE MONET.
In the Amphitheatre of the Olympic
• Club to -night were assembled 4,000 lead.
ing citizens with a large sprinkling of the
finest sportsmen ever seen in New Orleans
at one ume. The fight was for the Inter -
notional middle -weight championship of
Australia and America and a puree of
$12,000, $11,000 to go to the winner and
U,000 to the leeer. The battle was fought
under the Marquis of Queensberry rules,
and with gloves weighing five ounces. One
leundred and fifty of the ode's beet police
°Beers were on hand. FitzsimmonEl
weighed 150a pounds, while Dempeey
tipped the beam at 147i pounds at 6 o'olook
this evening.
Fitzsimmons wiswone pound over weight,
but was sent out in company With Carroll
to work down. Dempsey's seconds were
Jaok McAuliffe Gas Tuthill and Mike
Conley, the 'theme giant, while Jimmy
Carroll and Don O'Connel looked a mr
Fitzeinnnons' interests.
• THE FIGHT.
Time was oalled promptly at 9 25, with
Alta. Brewster, one of the ablest and most
respected citizers of New Orleans, as re-
feree. The official timinkeeper was Prof.
John Deify, and master of ceremonies, ex.
Mayor J. V. Guillotte.
The men came into the ring at 8.55 p. m.
Dempeey nffered to wager $1,000, which
was accepted by Major Frank McLaughlin,
the millionaire director of the California
Athletio Club, but the Olympia Club
offieials refueed to allow tae bet to go on,
and it was called off.

and second, jumped at hie protege and
kissed him time and again. Dempsey was
badly punished. A. swollen face, cut lips
and nose, and a bad mark or two on his

was not et:watched. The Australian won in
a walk. Dempsey is the hero of half

unbroken record of 17 wins.

WHAT 18 THOUGHT OF FITZ.
Jake Kilrain says Fitzsimmons is truly
a wonder, He is awalever as they make
them, and bis hitting power is ineneenee.
There never was a middlenweight like him
Muldoon, the wrestler, says Fitzsimmons
is a whirlwind, a terrific litter, a two.
handed fighter and a great general. "1
never sem as Jab a fighter in my life. He
should have been awarded the fight two
rounds before." When the battle was over
Fitzsimmons was as full cf fun as a colt.
He sparred with ()stroll, and tapped him
on the nose playfully. He spoke highly of
Dempsey as a god, game fighter.
.F/TZSIAIXONS BORN IN ENGLAND.
Robert Fitzsimmons was born in
Helston, facirowall, England, June 4th,
1862, and is consequently about the BUGG

New Zealand, defeating five men Be de-
feated James Crawford, bare knuckle:,

days afterabie arrival knooked ont Billy
McCarthy at San Francisco in nine
rounds, and later defeated Arthur Upton
in five rounds at New Orleane. Before
coming to America Fitzsimmons always
fought at 148 pounds, or a little less. He
has fattened up, however, considerably on
this continent.
DEMPSEY BOHN IN IRELAND.'
Jahn Dempsey was born at Currag, Ire-
land, 28 years ago. Since hie pugilistic
career opened he has fought 53 battles, six

pareil ' may be mentioned those over Billy
Dewey, George Pullatroes, Tom Cleary,

7he Great Historian of the 'united States
Pluses Peacefully Away.
A Washington despatch of Sunday says:
George Benoroft, the venerable historian,
died at his home in this oity at 3 30 o'clock
• yesterday afternoon. He had been ill only
two days, and was on the streets three
eago. On Thursday he took to hie
bed as a matter of precaution, but was
taken seriously ill on Friday. From that
time until yesterday afternoon he failed
rapidly, and all day bovered between life
and death. At 3 in the afternoon the
doctor left, thinking that Mr. Banoroft
would live through the night, but before
the hour was up Mr. Bancroft was dead.
His end was quiet and paacettal, and the
first cause of aeath was simply the weak-
ness of old age. His eon was at the bed-
side when the aged historian died. Mr.
Bancroft was born in Worcester, Mass.,
on October 3rd, 1800. He was a graduate
of Harvard College when only 16 years of
age. Under President Polk Mr. Banoroft
for a short period was Secretary of the
Navy. Draiug his inoumbency in this
office) he introduced many improvements
and reforme in the navy, chief of which
was the establishment of the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, whence
some of the greatest of American naval
heroes graduated. Mr. Bancrofe was
Minister Plenipotentiary from the United
States to the Court of St. James from 1846
Id 1849. He also served in the same
capacity at Russia and the North German
Confederation. The remains will be taken
from here to Worcester, Mass., on Tuesday
next, where they will be interred beeide
those of bis wife.
Row Soldiers Died.
There is something indesoribablyepainfnl
in the emotion with which you stand in
the wards of a military hospital and look
up and down at the rows of cots, oovered
with mutilated humanity. How gently
fair hands are bathing the wounded—some
so ghastly that nothing but the highest
moral courage could induce a woman to
look at them, applying bandages, combing
tuakempt heads, feeding those who are
helpless and ministering to every want. It
is amid awl scenes that is developed the
honeot Christianity of life and those holy
charities in which self is saorificed to
another's benefit. It was a striking
peculiarity of the war on both
sidee that men of education invaria.
lily bore their injuries with more
fortitude end stoicism than the illiterate
and unsophisticated. The former, uoless
terribly hurt, generally came off the field
in the beat of spirits. " 13adly wounded,
my friend ?" " A little eoratched, sir ; I
reckon it's not ratiob. Beam one hem to
takehis turn you know, and mine came
with the rest." Such watt the case with

cordial greed:me the two drove to a hotel,
where they at onoe retired for s private
conference. Mr. Dillon was asked his
opinion of the political situation, but he
declined to make any atatement until he
had conversed fully with Messrs. O'Brien

and the other took off the index finger of
the left band. Mrs. Fugette is the only
obild of Judge Warder, and is ebot in the

Fogette's room, where the shooting took
place as soon as he entered. Mr. and Mrs.
Fugette lived with Judge and Mrs. Warder

pistol with two empty ohembers in the
otber. Mrs. Fugette was lying over him
with her arms entwining him, piteously
crying for eome one to save lam. Judge
Warder staggered to a neighbor's house
and is now there in a precarious condition.
Mrs. Fugette is aim uneble to speak, and
what took plaoe in the room &We from
