the fUtlo firmament was a contest be-

visitors in town and tho local public work Both men landed their right
Mno men out of wanted
ten Skelly to i
win and tho aamo proportion felt It a
risky plcc of business to sUko their
money that way
The Hrooklyn contingent was tho ex-
ception to tho rule It rated fekellyus
a star performer becauo It had seen
him fight had hU measure and wai
pa tr lotto to the core That created
bit of sentiment In the Brooklyn mans
favor but did not u fleet betting to tho
extent of cutliug down the odds Yet
tho odds were templing and taken by
hundreds of bolters who risked n few
dollars at 3 to 1 Fern few moments
during the day odds were 5 to 2 but
later went buck to the original figures
Stolwhllo Dixon was unmistakably
tho favorlta at 3 to 10
The weather was wtrmbut tho
throng at the ring was like all good
natured multitudes that gather here
It was different In ono respect ordina-
rily there was not a black face to bo
seen Inside tho arena Thero was n
cloud of them to night In tho gallery
One of the stars to night was a black
man and tho club acceded to the natu
ral desire on the part of tho colored
eloment to witness tlio ongogeraout and
set aside t paco for them The colored
brothers did not come in largo uura
bers but took a deep Interest In what
went on and felt a jwrdonable pride in
tho representative of their race
The men weighed early in the day
When they signed tho articles they
agreed to tip the bcalcs at 118 or un-
der at 230 In tho afternoon or about
tlx hours and a half before the fight
began Thh was considered to bo
quite an advantage to bkelly who
takes on flesh more rapidly ban his
opponent but tho dusky boy from Bos-
ton did not mind the discrimination
At 2 oclock he showed up in superb
form at least that was tho opinion of
thiwowhosaw them
Chairman Sporo of tho contest com-
mittee handled tho scales Dixon got
on first and the scales balanced at IIS
pounds Ho was just at tho weight
Then Skollv took his ulaee lie was
under the limit weighing but 11U1 so
when he entered thu ring ho was
naniiv anv Heavier man nis mvoneni
if ludecd he w as as heavy With the
weighing over the men went luck to
their quarters and thero tuiii tho
afternoon and evening doing compara-
tively Uttlo work
The crowd tonight was somewhat
smaller In point of hIzo than last night
but It a as nevurtholois an Immense
gathering large enough indeed to pay
tho purse and vet leave the club n bal
aueo on the ledger as a rosult of the in-
vestment
