wards of 4,000 persons witnessed the contest ,
which , by the way , has attracted moro Inter
est than any light In this pity smco the Jack-
son-Corbott mooting. At an early hour long
botoro the advertised timj for the contest to
commence , the hn < l was crowded with sportIng -
Ing men. Nearly every western city was re
presented.
M. J. Sullivan noted ns master of ceremonies -
monies , while Jack Dompsov , the Nonpareil ,
oniciatcd ns referee. Davis was seconded by
the naughty Bob Flt/.simmons and Danny
Ncodham , champions In their respective
classes. Woods' seconds worn Bat Master-
son of Denver , Martin Murphy nnd Paddy
Gorman. Seldom has such an aggregation
been found concentrated In a ring buforo In
America.
The sports predicted that , the light would
not last over ten rounds. Betting was lively
during the day , although the wagers were
mostly small. At Coroett's headquarters
Davis sold in the pools nt 100 to SO , and there
were plenty of tnkorsattlio.se figures on both
stdos of the houso. Davis got his backing
larcoly owing to his light with Choynskl.
There was Jlr.it a preliminary event , n six-
round go between Mick McCarthy and Mnr-
tin McCnffory. It was a regular wrestling
match mid McCatTcry was not in it. Two
young fellows followed in n friendly setto
and then the principals of the big event wore
called by the mister of ceremonies.
Then the Plf-ln licKm.
When Jack Dempsey nppoared there was
loud cheering nnd prolonged applause. Some
one proposed three cheers nnd the 4,000
sports wont wild. Davis stepped Into the
ring lirst , looking fine as silk. Ho weighed
175 pounds. Woods came on with n hop ,
skip and jump , and looked as hard as leather.
His weight was ISO pounds.
First round Tlmo was called at 3:20.
After some feinting Woods landed n light
right band body blow. After moro fiddling ,
Woods led , and slipping around Davis' nock
nearly wont to the lloor.
Second round Davis landed his right on
Woods' ear ; the latter broke ground , but
Davis failed to catch him. Davis urged him
to thu ropes , playing his right on Woods'
ribs. A loft drive lauded on Woods' nose ,
with red.
Third Hound Davis several times- rushed
Woods to the ropes , but returned each tlmo
to the center of tbo ring , having inillctod but
little , damngo.
Fourth Hound Woods led a straight loft ,
falling short , as Jid Davis' right for the
body. Woods landed n good loft on Davis'
cheek and got in return a sounding loft on
the cheek. Several rallies followed , Woods
cleverly ducking.
.Jack Mount HuHinoM-t.
Fifth Hound Woods' left glanced from
Davis' jaw. Davis got in his loft on the face
nnd the right on the ribs in quick succession.
Woods twice again landed on Davis' jaw , the
latter ducking vainly ; then rallied and returned -
turned a counlo of hot ones on the jaw , slag-
goring Woods.
Sixth Hound Davis led , falling short ;
.then stopped rush , with aloft cross-counter.
The men wero'iibw gelling lo oioso quarters ,
but taking no chances. Woods led with bis
loft and Davis uppercut Him ; Woods clung to
the corners and scorned disposed to clinch.
Seventh Hound Woods countered with
his left on the jaw and dodged an ugly swing.
Woods parried and landed a short loft on the
point of the jaw , 'staggering Davis. The lat
ter rushed to catch his nimble opponent , but
his swings generally fell short , though near
tbo close of the round ho landed two hot ones ?
Eighth Hound Woods was sent to tbo
ground twice with a right swmgas the round
olosod.
Hilly Plnyed Possum.
The ninth opened with Davis chasing
Woods around the ring on a run , Woods hid
ing bis face nnd Davis landing his right on
the back of th.o nock. Woods suddenly re-
tallalcd with his right on the juw , dazing
Davis for n minute. They then slugged each
other al cloao range unlll bolh were erogcy ,
hammering each other about the head , Woods
with half arm drives and Davis upper culling
with his right. Woods caught him ns the
gone sounded nnd Davis wont down , half
rose , then fell nnd wns carried to his corner.
Tenth Hound- Davis recovered quickly
nnd rushed Woods nrounu the -ring gamely ,
Oisayihg to land his powerful right nnd
going to the lloor with his own effort. Ho
succeeded in stopping Woods' drives for his
law and puzzled tho-Jattor.
Eleventh Hound Davis slipped tolho lloor
In his own corner from Iho effects of Wooos"
two-handed drives. Ho wns dazed and
bloodliiff freely from the loft eye and mouth.
He appeared blinded with blood , but played
richt for Woods' Jaw , making the Intier
wary. The round closed with Woods smashIng -
Ing Davis In the mouth with his right.
This Settled It ,
Twelfth Hound Woods appeared tired , but
moro conlldenl ; Davis shaky , but game ,
laughing us Wood * brought blood from the
Injured eye with right hand smashes. Ho
frequently essayed his right , but Woods
avoided him.
Thirteenth Hound Woods showed a swell
ing on thn left check , but otherwise was un
banned. Davis landed on his jaw lightly
with his loft. Woods caught Davis on tbo
head with n tight smash , sending him to ono
Unco. As ho rose Woods sent him to
the ropes , smashing his helpless opponent
with his right. Davis was unable to respond
nnd nppoared to bo bangiug on the ropes.
Fltzsimmons rushed Into the ring nnd n light
was narrowly avoided between Woods and
tbo wrathy Now Zoalandor. who claimed a
foul. Donverltos sldod with their mnu , and
the ring wns soon filled wllh struggling , excited -
cited men. Dempsey endeavored vainly to
restore order. The pohoo then entered the
ring and Davis announcing ho would glvo up
tbo light , the referee pronounced In favor of
Woods.
Charged of Kotil ,
It was claimed thai Woods struck Dnvli
nearly five seconds nf tor the gong slruck In
the critical ninth round , but the foul , If such
It wns , wns condoned by Davis' seconds
allowing the flght to go on , The confusion
was such nt the time that few of the specta
tors board the sound of tbo gong. Opinions
dlffor as to wbothor or not Davis was act
ually over tno ropes when AVoods struck him
in the lost round , but tha dccUIon of the
referee was agalntt this. Davis wns pun-
Ubod badly. Woods was little marked.

"Men and Women" teaches lessons of self-
denial , of noble self-sacrillce , of love , which
appeal strongly to the real men nnd women
sitting beneath its spell , and higher stand
ards of living unconsciously result , in such
plays rolluion finds her chiofost ally for they
emphasize the truths thai for 1,000 years
have possessed the world ,
In tbo first act of the play , which was pro
duced last evening at Boyd's to a magnillccnt
tlr.it night audience , there nro two proposals
of marriage both vofusod ; two Incipient
proposals both uncournced ; ona business
failure ; ono defalcation ; ono fight , on the
stage , fisticuffs ; ono suicide off tliu stage ;
the presentation of a valentine ; u criminal's
confession of guilt , nnd a betrothal.
Wllh this vivacious and healthily lively
opening "Men and Women" slilrls 6lT on n
C'iroor of the most exciting character.
There am no bad women In the play , thanks
to the authors. All are good , some of them
angels. But there are n good many bnd men ,
who , in the final moments of thu play , roach
the gram ! climacteric by confessions of crime
donn in yonthfol days when the blood ran
hot , and their tin id forgiveness by the parlies
in interest. And they co forth to now
created lives with thu benediction of the
Nar.nrono ringing in their oars.
Tlicro is one scene in thu play which would
make nny drama stand out from the long list
of Iho commonplace , ll is a midnight meet
ing of the directors of tbo Jefferson National
bank culled to discuss the precarious condi
tion of tlio bank und its possible closing on
tha morrow. The defalcation of a lot of
bonds u known. Suspicion points tn the as
sistant cashier as the thief. Then comes his
cross-examination by the counsel of tlio bank
( bis enemy ) und Toatmry's Indignant

denial. Governor Hodman , nn ox-
convict , rlson from n prlnoti cell
nt Auburn to the executive of a great state ,
offers to loan the niono.v that shall tldo the
bank over , the refusal to accept It , nil work
ing up to rroscott's ( the cashier ) silent con
fession , is crispy nnd sharply Interesting. It
touches Just the fringe of tragedy , and ihon ,
to cap the climax , Preseott tenders Ills hand

last Is found. All this bit comes with n sort
of solemn dignity niter the excited Interview
1'roscott hns bad with his llunncco , Agnes ,
nnd the curtain closes out n picture that Is
rnro in dramatic nrt.
It l.s Indeed n plonsuro to testify to the
merits of the excellent organization now pro
ducing "Men and Women" at Boyd's.
Throughout , Iho nlcast possible discrimina
tion bos boon shown In the ftolocllon of tbo
players nnd they lvo n beautifully rounded
performance.
Mr. Henry Untton plays an open handed
Hebrew gentlemen , Israel Cohenthe president
of Iho bank delightfully. In fact , ho pre
sents lo the stage n new figure 5 high-
minded , genllOiJiinly Jew , nnd it is
singularly refreshing to see him ns ho does
exist In the world nnd not ns "Snm'l of

William Prescott , the cashier , wns well
plnyod by Byron Douglas , n now comer in
our midst , mid in manner and method siig-
ousted Henry Millet , formerly with the
Frohmans. Mr. Chnrlos Macitny made n
proat deal out of young Soubury , Iho hot
headed youth , ready to light nt the drop of
the tint when It eamo to n question of his
honor. Mr. Theodore Hamilton ns CSovornor
Kndman , has n wonderfully sympathetic
r olco Und his rending in net ono was
n gem of purest diction. In manner and
make-up ho looked every inch n commanding
llgurc , such ns you llnd in these western
states nt the bond of the government. Mr.
Charles Ciotthold , a .sterling actor , plavod the
villain , Calvin bteadmnn. with n nonchalance
that showed the true artist.
Miss Esther Ijyon ns Agnes , n Dickens
typo of woman , plaved the part with con
summate ability. The intense sentimental
ity of the partis html to deal with , but there
never WHS the least show of overacting here ,
nnd the lady scored thn triumph of the ovoa-
ing. The other female characters nro won
derfully well taken whllo the mnlo members
of the eust show themselves actors deserving
