Et tu St. Louis, and all of your Republican majority. It seems that even the Negroes voted for segregation—17,876 votes against it when there is above 17,000 possible Negro voters. Last Tuesday only 9,000 expressing it in round numbers, were prepared to vote, the others failing to register. "The Kansas City Elevator," in its "Would Like To Know," column asked: "If Col. Geo. L. Knox, editor of The Freeman, is publishing that most excellent sheet for his health, and if it is not about time for him to take some chestnuts out of the fire." In reply, permit us to answer the first question by saying, not exactly. To the second question—"Barkis is Willin." Phil H. Brown's orthodox is embodied in a simple declaration: "I am a Negro first and a Republican next, but there has never been a time in my life when I failed to be either." Mr. Brown has fixed it up nicely. One can see by his ingenious expression that he is thoughtful an interesting. All signs point to him as one of Kentucky's big four to the National Republican convention at Chicago. Walter L. Cohen, secretary of the Old Line Republican committee of New Orleans, has a good word to say for Harry C. New candidate for nomination of the Republican United States Senator. He says: "As acting chairman of the Republican National Committee Mr. New left the chair and introduced a resolution, which was adopted, which gave recognition to the colored Republicans of Louisiana. This was evidence of Mr. New's fairness, since the Republican organization of that state is largely maintained by colored voters. The court has knocked the legislative calculations all awry, but at that the chances of the colored candidates are still very good. In fact, they can't be beaten if the proper effort is made to have them win. F. B. Ransom, R. L. Bailey and Dr. J. R. Norrell are candidates for nomination on the Republican ticket, Ransom and Bailey standing for the lower and Dr Norrell for the upper house of the Indiana assembly. There are many white candidates for representatives and for senators for the lower and the upper county, the highest ten, and four for the House of Representatives and Senate, respectively, being held the successful candidates. In view of the large number of colored voters it is possible for each of the colored candidates to be successful. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, who was assigned the duty of managing the collection of the $250,000, the amount expected of his race, is making splendid headway. Some fine donations have already been made, and many more will follow, according to prospects. C. C. Spaulding, of the North Carolina Mutual and Providential Association of Durham, N.C., and his business associates have given $250 and the citizens have subscribed $250 more, with $500 yet in sight. Among those who have subscribed amounts above $100 so far are Charles Banks, of Mound Bayou, Mississippi; Bishop George W. Clinton, of Charlotte, North Carolina; Madame C. J. Walker, of Indianapolis, Indiana; Prof. George W. Carver and W. V. Chambliss, of Tuskegee, each of whom has subscribed $500. In reply to E. C. Branch, of Galveston, Texas, the Freeman has this to say: The columns of this publication are open to you or any other man who has something of racial importance to contribute. We mean that we will publish true stories of incidents, expecting them to be respectfully worded and phrased, but no departure from the truth. Mr. Branch, who is author of a book, "Judge Lynch," has had considerable to say about the recent Galveston happening during the flood. He says that he has not been given a proper hearing by his own people. The Freeman will hear him. But he and others must remember that we are not agitators in the sense that the term is best understood. We want the history of incidents, and not highly colored, partisan utterances which tend to blow people into passions. We are willing to give the contributor's comment when it is same and in keeping with the purpose of a good intentioned journal. John G. Pegg, inspector of weights and measures, at Omaha, Neb., was successful in a recent conference of Republican Negroes in that city in having a resolution adopted calling on the National Committee to adopt the second section of the constitution and amendment of the constitution of the United States in the platform for the next national campaign. This section covers the much discussed representation phase of the most of the southern states. Doubtsless it is the country's meanest political tangle, a subject that has been threshed out many times, but without a satisfactory conclusion, or better perhaps, no conclusion other than the known status. We doubt the advisability of agitating it at this time when it may mean the embarrassment of the party managers. It is by no means certain that there is a direct way to settle the matter. We have said that the government has no right to take cognizance of a condition of virtually barring wherein a part of the people the Negroes in the instance, are to exchange their theoretical right of suffrage for a reduced congressmen list. We are afraid, that we would get the worst of the bargain. Precedent is a bad thing. Had Baltimore had no segregation it would not now be in St. Louis. We are fearful that if the government recognizes the elimination business in one instance the habit may soon obtain, and in time we would find lessened esteem owing to political impotency. True, we do not enjoy what we pretend we go through the process a few stupping for the whole. The delusion is a preservative as anomalous as it appears. THE ST. LOUIS VERDICT. The St. Louis Verdict is astounding. There are not many persons who thought one way or the other about the probable result of the segregation vote of that city last Tuesday who entertained the notion that segregationists would win by a majority of 30,000. The vote for segregation was $2,520; the vote against it being 17,876. The result, of course, will not mean a civil upheaval of any kind, nor will it make a great difference in the matter of residence, in the manner in which take care of cities of large colored populations, finds its colored citizens living fairly in groups. This being true it says, also, that the white people live practically in groups. Natural inclination, poverty, association for mutual benefits have done this for the colored people in St. Louis as elsewhere The grouping as it concerns our race has never been considered the eminently proper thing, since from the very beginning it has had the tendency to drive off other citizens, and to because of our poverty, and the scorn of white people owing to it, and our race variety and previous condition of servitude, the more prosperous among us, many of them, have seen fit to break away when the opportunity came to them. This disposition on the part of what is called the better class colored people and the known position of the white people have made for an easy victory for the segregationists. The bulk of the race is practically left without friends in the matter, being deserted by influential colored people and all of the white people. The prosperous colored people are not to be held to be reprehensible in the mater, since they in deserting their low vaulted past simply exercised their privilege as American citizens, and as they should do in keeping with the spirit at progression and of which no race has a monopoly. But they can readily see how they have unconsciously contributed to the days status. The suffering if we may thus speak of it is from a civil viewpoint, and but spiritual at that. However, this is more than trifling because the progress of people is measured largely by the spiritual freedom—the ability to come and go without let or hindrance, whether we decide to come or stay. St. Louis has instituted a new slavery, just as certain as the old, and as harrowing to the spirit. All communities that have done as St. Louis have instituted a new slavery. It ought not go farther for the good of this nation, which is now threatened from every angle. DUNBAR SCHOOL. The new high school for colored pupils, at Washington, D. C., will be named after Paul Laurence Dunbar, the late distinguished negro poet. The building is one of the finest in the country, and probably the very finest for colored children. The decision which resulted after a spirited contest will be pleasing to the admirers of Mr. Dunbar. It is fortunate that there was a satisfactory method of memorizing such an individual. Subject him, his efforts to the severest test and he rises above them clean cut and clear one of the major poets of the world. The board in selecting his name or its deciding factor, knew his eminence; knew his race; knew the class of individuals is not being rapidly reproduced, if at all. The recognition is one of merit as the recognition of James Whitcomb Riley is one of merit in Indianapolis, in the state and wherever English literature is known. This has in mind what might be thought of such men otherwise. It has not been the ways of the world to overshadow genius—men who create and add to the world, in a manner, that God Himself made. Now and then there is a tendency to put the microscope to such men, the object being to read them out of the affections to some "moral crochet." The world, in the main, has never failed in the long, long years to appreciate those who brought it "satisfied." So if Shakespeare did poach his neighbors' preserves, or Shelly and Byron were irregular in their lives, or Poe committed spiritual bark-kari, they are none the less in the estimation of the world who is interested in their outpouring it as it would a great picture, taking into no account the private status of the individual creating it. What is said of the above few goes for many more who found themselves illuminated by the divine inflatus—ordained, dominated, subjugated. Paul Laurence Dunbar was a Bohemian in life as we speak of those of liberal tendencies and activities. In this respect he was merely a disciple of his own nature, and which was like so many that have been all lit up by a heavenly light. He was a man who lived a period when tame dullish life must take on the kindred aspect that satiety and enguil does not undermine the human machinery. This subject is not a new one. More than once men have pointed to the ploofing genius of such men as Tennyson and Longfellow, citing with enthusiasm their even flow and sometime glorious. But if we would vault the skies we must seek that other order of genius. Goldsmith and Johnson sat around in the taverns and inns. Even that personification of faithfulness, Charles Dickens, must have had his leg of mutton and a bottle of stout quite frequently or he could not have discoursed so knowingly about them. Burns' life was an open book. And we may rest assured that if one would go furlong, would furlong high tennyson lives, we must have that burst "burst." The prosey individual will not see it that way, and because he cannot see it. But he will notice that if he engages in some continuous, highly exciting work of whatsoever nature, he will discover that even his dull nature cries out for relief. This relief does not come usually from rest, but from a new employment or new excitement—a counter engagement. The highly tennyson woman would THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER scream—her feeling of relief. Men scream, also, in their way. The marshalist has the much to commend in all of his duties, nor do we commend any of it. We are taking human nature as it is found, rather than thanking the gods of one-sided development that they did not deem it best to make all men to fit old Pisistratus' bed. We are proud to know that the great Negro school at Washington, D. C., will bear the name of Africa's most distinguished sun as it concerns a chief of the muses nine—poetry. following an illness of several months.

MARK MILLER IN THE RACE. A great number of the readers of this paper were glad to hear that Mark H. Miller had entered the race for Hoover Midwestern county Republican ticket. Mr. Miller has some stanch friends among the colored Indians and Indianapolis numbers among his acquaintances many of our leading colored men and women. "I expect to be elected to the office of the governor of the state," Mr. Miller trifly unhindered by any set or individuals who would prevent me from giving every other favor. It is justice only for the rich man or the man who happens to belong to the same race as the majority of people deal fairly with every man regardless of his position, race or religion. And people who have been upon candidate in the past, preferring to follow the practice of law, I believe I am entitled to vote for the people as any other candidate for prosecutor. The reason for this is my acquaintance with all the colored people in the state. A great number have moved on. CAPTAIN COFFIN Does not have the support of any bi-partisan organization. None of the Republicans who helped to elect Democrats are back of him. He does not seek their support. If you cast your vote against Captain Coffin you are only casting it against your friend. He makes it a practise to treat everyone alike. When he was a soldier and served in the Phillipines and in China; when he was a policeman, from patrolman to superintendent everyone got a square deal and now, as sheriff you are getting a square deal. If you haven't heard the story of the eagle in the Phillipines, ask someone to tell it to you, then cast your vote for CAPTAIN COFFIN No.93 on the Ballot!! diapolis and I have been pleased at the manner in which they are worked in the central meetings at the request of men prominent in colored circles, and, as said at the time, my policy is: Justify for all—speedily and economically.

In the practice of his profession the employment has as his file of the people and his sympathies, by virtue of his life and practice, are naturally on the side of the Considered from the standpoint of fitness and efficiency, Mr. Sparr, reason of his legal education, his long practice in the legal profession, his practical experience in his own affairs as well as in the business affairs of county, city and state, stands out as eminently qualified for the particular office he seeks, and not only that but the history of his life shows him free from alliances which might tend to lessen his activities in behalf Furthermore, he has the courage of his convictions, and is endowed with the tact and resourcefulness so necessary in the furtherance of affairs and the welfare of his people. His mistake will be made, many persons concede, in Mr. Spahr's nomination. JOHN H. HARRIS For State Senator Douglas Pierce A Republican Mark H.

Leubrie Hill's Great Dark- Town Follies, Opening Attraction. (By Jack Trocker.) NEW YORK CITY, March 1—Eugene (Frenchy) Elmore, who was for so many years connected as manager of the New York theater, now standing on the old site, assumes the role of the "Big Reason" for the erection of the New Lincoln theater, now standing on the old site, as the assistant to the mattey theater two weeks ago and in celebration of its opening contracted for a three weeks' run of the theater, which is the brand new in lines, costumes, dances and music, all fresh from the verile pens of those masters of show building. "The out-spoken prizes from people who know, and the steady increase of attendance at each performance of the show," he wrote, to this production in spite of the fact that Hill's Follies have dared do that which no other show manager has ever before dreamed of dotus, opening right after the opening of the theater, without even one day's tryout elsewhere. The book is well written and sticks to its purpose of revolving around the persons of Dora Dean 'a young Mrs Old Mammy type) who, when asked to marry, gave husband, Andrew Jackson Dean.

Continues to Draw to Capacity Crowd Stock Company Gives New Drama Each Week. (By Jack Trotter.) NEW YORK CITY, March 1—As expert opinion goes, the New Lincoln theater, under the management of Jesse Snee and the able and gifted Mrs. Downs as directress-general, continues to be the "big riot" with the New York public. This, some say, is due to the development of the great and remarkably strong Lincoln Stock Company, which produces real live thrillers in "Romance" each week. Whatever the reason may be for the Lincoln's great popularity, no credit for its success can be detracted from people who performers of this stock company who are looming high up in public estimation are Mrs. Mae Olden and Miss Cecil Jones. Their performances are done in such an easy natural manner that many times their audience is made to forget that they are portraying them in a real action before them is—something real. The Lincoln's curtain was rung up today with every seat in the house occupied and the audience on a strong Biblical Romance of the West, "Parson Bill." The following is the program for this week: A Strong Biblical Romance of the West In a Prologue to THE CASES. Dennis Colby, a sergeant at Fort Heuery.....Mr. Charles H.

The two Sweets will be going with their opening "Jelly Roll Blues." Two sweet himself is an excellent comedian, gaining scores of applause from the audience. His parody on, "The Jelly Roll Blues," is indeed good. The closing number, "Jogo Blues," is a scream. Willie Williams, a young performer, "Keep the Jelly Roll Blues," is indicted among the best comedians on the American stage. Besides his comedy work, he is a good singer, singing the "My Mississippi Man." Houze is using "My Mississippi Man." Managers, book this if you want good, clean entertainers.

NOTES FROM BUSBY'S MINSTRELS. --- Chicago Weekly Review Musical and Dramatic Criticism Prose Poems and Current Literature S. H. DUDLEY MAKES HIS AUDIENCE QUAFF FUN IN NECTAR AT THE GRAND. "Reasonably Merry" is what I term a very good new black face comedy that was produced at the Grand last Monday evening, assisted by William Ramsey, once his leading straight man when he was a young smart Art. This trip he had no donkey. Folks said he had a mule, But he hadn't any... And donkeys as a rule, Aren't worth a penny. Dudley is having a conversation act and one which kept his audience in shock. He talked with Ramsey to an invisible party gave pleasure and his new song, one of the best, to the audience. If She's Your Nicee, won encounters, to which for some reason he failed to respond, but it was clearly the best. He reminded us of days gone on before. JOHN H. HARRIS S. H. DUDLEY, At the Grand Theater William Ramsey, who was a perfect act as a line feeder, was modern in his sense, and he sang in which he sang with excellent taste, all of which proved that he still has a Minstrel duet finished, which Dudley a Minstrel duet finished, which Dudley a Ramsey strutted off the stage, got a heavy hand and whistling encores from the gallery to which Dudley responded. Lloyd Langdon & Co., in "Back Home," was a fine little country playwright, sweetened by two capable actresses in the cast. The Telsumari Japanese, in quite the best act in their line, won the play, and Duo舞ers and Duo舞ers, with very entertaining. The girl who had a wealth of hair was an athlete and the man who had a happy disposition, was a singer and the last to Irving Costar, who played popular songs and sang at the piano, hardly an act, was also on the House of Nicholas, who continued to draw throughout the week. Ten Cake Walks sung by the singer and dancers, but the ballad singer should have been a ragtime songster. The cake walk was a speciality. The white acts were Walter and the blacks, the Baker (who is a good humorous talker, was assisted by a red-headed boy who never smiled and a vanishing girl, who a small trunk, containing a doll, into a large trunk containing a woman, was a feature speciality. The Belmont Girls and Brooks and Lorella were a good team of acrobats.

Alexander Gaines, Jr., who left last week to attend the funeral of his father at Richmond, Va., has returned to Phoenix theater, Mr. Gaines' father was a contractor and was taken ill at once. E. I. Harry Jenkins held sway for Manager Hammond until Mr. Gaines returned. The intimately death of Alonzo Moore, the brilliant composer, was blow to his friends everywhere. Mr. Moore was once the valet of a Canon magician who taught him all his tricks in the theater as one of the family. Moore won fame with Billy Kersands, Oliver Scott and Richards & Pringles Georgia Minstrels. Alonzo also had his magical outfit and his lavish display, which made his the cleverest colored act of the kind seen in vaudeville. Prof. W. E. D. Buo, editors of the Crisis, is reported to have arrived in Phoenix on Monday. Mr. Buo is church last Sunday. Mr. Buo is one of the brainstem men of his race, but in view of the political hurry now in progress, it is probable that our disguised visions would be diminutive. But he should also and could well afford to enjoy a politicians envy. The recent death of R. Henri Strange, the noted tragedian, removes from former days the talented readers of days when Salem Tutt recalled the days when Salem Tutt were concert singers, when Ema Baynard (later Mrs. Whitney), and all the New York used to meet at Philadelphia and New York used to meet at Williams Park, N.

I met Abbott, publisher of the Defender, who congratulated him upon having once congratulated him upon having Lewis as manager editor, but Mr. Abbott, the institution was embarrassed. It was unexpected. Then I thought, that so many young men like to forelash and be as good as as he can, but no deception must be a real delegate. I wouldn't have a managing editor's job for a gift anything. The newspaper for anything Well can be, if you don't intend to write comes too easy, to live and to try to get rich.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA The New Queen theater has on one of the best bills of the season this week. The show opens with Berry & Wakelin, the actors, and liver the goods; their act is unique and up to date in every respect. Next week, they play a team of the highest class. "Julius" is a killing when he teamed up with this clever little girl. Following them is Hooten, the Screaming Predator, Nuff sai, the house, bill were Knox and Ramsey, and let it be said right here. "They closed it, too. This team is one of the best bills of the season." Their dancing is purely high school, and pleased the Monday night audience immensely.

What is home without a mother—and what is a company without a performance. Come on Frank Hendon and shoot us some more of that "Stage Struck Dope."

Fellow performers can you recall the time down south when we used to get four weeks or as long as we made good? What a fas 'fas' world! The longer some performers works for a manager the more money they owe him or else the more the manager owes them. I see where Bert Williams is to go over to Europe for an Engagement.

The Queen Theater deviated slightly from its policy of straight vaudeville and afterpiece Thursday, the 17th, running instead a two-act drama program called Green, which was certainly well rendered, everyone doing their part with excellence. The show scored an ex-acting role by Don Doe Green's comedy, which kept the house in an uproar from start to finish. Miss Carrina was also very good. The balance of the cast: Nit and Tuck, Miss Leola Thomas and Cubian Mack, the Hindoo Sam Morris, whose rare baritone voice has made a great hit in Chattanooga, West and West are making a big hit in song, "I'm Satisfied".

"All the world loves a lover." When two persons love each other such love is marriage, and Heaven gives its benediction. Some of you old hardened cynics, whom cupid has misused or pass over, enchanting and ennivishing you with a neatly decorate nectar of love which courses through one's veins like quicksilver, seducing, enchanting and ennivishing you. You have a kind of eternal youth who will smile sarcastically and say, that in this twentieth century, love is obsolete. You will long enough to profit, not only from tips in the warmth of love's glow, remove the scales from your disdaining eyes that you may obtain one peep at the promised land, the Sam and Ora have loved each other for some time. Now they are to be married. Sam and Ora will be married Tuesday evening, at the Imperial Theater, Ora Dunlap, of Indianapolis, Ind., and Samuel Gray, of Baltimore, Md., will be united in holy bodies on Wednesday. I will not omit ter-o-money. Just a case of old-fashioned love. An insatiable desire for a heart-to-touch, two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one. Who will not wish them joy on their unfortunate voyage? We sincerely hope that the nuptial knot will never be strained, stretched or severed, that it will hold them willing captives, and may the sun never set on their bright days. A wedding is a performance that never grows old nor loses its attractiveness. It is a monochromy with various and mingled emotions. Some are there from mere curiosity. Others anticipate taking the wedding to a new level, how the principal characters enact their parts, and there are others who take it to a step—to them a fatal step—to them a grave grain of comfort that misery loves, from the thought that they stand beneath it, but hadn't done it, whose matrimonial bark is sure to be drawn toward the reef of discontent and eventually to the divorce court.

Dudley, William Ramsey and Patrick are in the Windy City after a successful tour of the West over the Pantages time. Already there are many guests who have increased attendance at the Grand next week. Patrick is the donkey, to be sure, but he has taken a stellar role in the high-class attraction. Patrick Dudley was given a royal welcome by his host of friends and Mr. Ramsey came in for a lion's share of appreciation. The company headed East, where they highlighted the theatergoers and who will be happy to greet them upon their return. All the ladies who attended last Saturday's matinee performance at the Grand were invited to take tea with Miss Blanche Thompson and Miss Hatton. The stage after the performance and we served by the pretty ushers of the Grand with plenteous quantities of the refreshing beverage. The occasion felt felicitous and long to be remembered. Tony Langston, dramatic editor, has a "hard spot" on the bill at the DeVille great style, knows how to deliver the goods and leave the people asking for more of the interesting matter he supplies to his paper weekly. Miss Marguerite Ward, wife of Kid Thomas, the well-known vaudeville and for many years known as the team of Thomas and Ward, the funny coon and dances artistical, her smile will remain to vaudeville for an engagement of several weeks. Miss Ward is a cultivated singer possessing a beautiful and dances artistic. She singles out to vaudeville a novel single that is sure to be in great demand by the booking agents. Miss Theresa Burroughs, wife of the late Marion Broks, added to her well-merited laurels by doing an entertaining show. Her costumes were gorgeous, singing pleasing and dancing niffy. Miss Burroughs is a versatile actress of genius, singing leaves for the East to take the leading female roles with Smith-Bright Players. Aron, the dashing prancer, and Rastus, the phenomenal dancer, two of the picks with the best hair, fell among the thieves their first night in Chicago.

A doctor was called who administered medicine to counteract the effects of the poison, and the girls did their opening performance at the New Monogram.

Housley and Nicholas, a big pal, act, wee the gift of the bill the entire week at the Monogram, and the highest grade, and finished their act in a sword, and even after they saved energy they received numerous curtial calls. Tim Moore, at the New Monogram, is funny, naturally funny, sometimes excruciatingly funny. His protrayal of the characters he encounters enchanting all the characters himself, is genuinely funny. He whitens one side of his face and impersonates Simon Gorman, turns L. Eichhorn side the audience, whitens the hair and he is then Uncle Tom. He also plays the parts of Eliza, Emmeline and the blood-hounds. Tim gets his laughs without resorting to smut or suggestiveness. soon and make one-night stands, Billy V.

HUDGINS AND BUMBRAY SHOW IN THEATRE LINCOLN THEATER The team of Hutgins and Bumgrain are now playing the Lincoln theater, well known in vaudeville as sure winners. They opened here to a packed house, and stopped the show. Johnny Hudgins gives a remarkably clever performance, though under cork his anties are so true to life he has been dubbed the Black Charlie Chaplin. He has a natural aptitude for comedy of himself. He sings and acts in fine style, and he is always good for two or three recitals. His George Bumgrain is great and the other seen here. Miss Helen Bumgrain puts over her songs in just the way to please her audience. She is admirably proper in her performance, off to happy advantage. She has an excellent voice as her charming rendition of Handy's latest success demonstrated, and is exceptionally bright in her chatty talk with Hud- burt in the city, who composer happened to be in the city lately, with his band from Memphis and heard Miss Bumbray put his song on. He was so deeply impressed that she will feature all of his latest numbers. This act of Hudgins and Bumbray are genial and have many friends. They are box office attractions. Their cost tumes are of the best. They are here to pick a stick up, up, you are one clever act, that's all. ville were in the city on February 16 on business. M. Maurice Anders was in Crofton, Ky.

NEWS FROM PINKARD'S SAXO PHONE ORCHESTRA. Just thought I would write you a line or so, to let you and our old friends west. We are cleaning getting along out jobs in and around Omaha, but we have a bunch of white musicians to flare. They have made many threats to all the managers of dance halls and to those who use our music, people who use our music are the people with the money and are crazy about us as said before. They are the clarinetist, who was with the Alabama Minstrels so long, is puffing the saxophone for us and the one on the drums is as good as they generally maneuver, but boys who are still learning. We have a great banjoist, and the whole darn bunch are still learning. I mean "just knock 'em chilly". I mean the society folks. I am tickling the ivories, directing and writing music.

BURL SMITH AND JACK HANNI HEADLINERS IN TEN- ROUND "ROUGH AND TUMBLE" (By Ed Rogers) Jack Hannibal, known as the "Fighting Poor Boy", lost to Burl Summitt; but had all the best of the fight, with all the best of the fight, Felix Fennell figured in his second peculiar contest at the West Baden Springs Opera House. He had ten months ago there was quite a dispute about his bout with Jack Wattles. Wattles walked out after he had floored Hannibal, claiming the referee counted too slow. Hannibal was able to win, and Wattles had made his "Quick duck" and left the ring, leaving a dispute about the count and whether Hannibal was out or not. In fifth round something of the same nature happened with Burl and Hannibal. The fight had gone about even before the start of the corner of the ring and missed in left swing, smashing the iron post supporting the ring. He finished the round, taking his corner, pulled off his knee and said he was broken. After a bit of maneuvering about five minutes) Referee Tommie Williams (white) turned to Smith, who was in the fight; Hannibal's hand is broken. Then came the usual howl from the fans for "more fight, his hand is bigger." Then appeared on the scene, and after quite a bit of argument with the referee, boxers, trainers and managers they agreed to finish the go. This is the moment Burke Burke, a bibbal has best of the fight. If Smith had made his "quick duck" as Watts did there would have been no argument, but it would have lowered the prestige of the colored boxer in West Baden. There was little doubt that Hannibal was the best man, yet Hennibal was the best man, had the right of the tenth round. The fight can easily be called a rough and tumble affair, with no gentlemanly tactics. SPORTING NEWS OF JACKSON VILLE, FLA. PATTERSON SHADES EARL MUR PHY- EARL'S RECORD. ST.

Lewis came out in the seventh round and landed in the final and following with a hard right to the jaw which dropped Trendall and Trendall was Lewis is one of the most dangerous fathers in the ring today. Although Trendall has been held his own with McFurland, Cross, Mandott and lots of other good boys. He is one of the best boxers. St. Louis has turned out. He always pleases the fairest man and gets into the ring out of shape. He is also a friend to colored boxers. Every color boxer has left the club after the knockout. There was not even one cheer. One never fails to see them when he comes out of the ring. Every one in the city knows how to play. He left the club after the knockout. There was not even one cheer. One was true, Harry Trendall goes down game. He didn't let Lewis scare him at all. Now let all colored boxers remember the color boxers and the rest of the white boxers and the rest of the white boys were like Harry Trendall the colored boxers would not be barred, for I know they would not be get mk outs in St. Louis, as there were good boys in the colored race. He tried to get a fight with them and have Trendall was 29 years old on the 25th day of February. He has been fourteen years. So it is no disarray to lose to a good man who is much younger.
