From the seventh round on Flynn maintained a decided lead, Rochette having a difficulty fn lasting until the end. For three rounds they boxed at falrly long range, fourth round Flynn caught Rochette unawares and landed a jab on the head, which jarred him. In the succeeding round the men fought all over the ring. In a scrimmage both fell through the ropes, but did not fall to | the floor. | It was give and take for two rounds, Fiynn dazing Rochette with right and left swings to the head. The eighth round was a three-cornered fight between the boxers and Referee McGinley. Rochette was all but out and hung on to avoid pun- ishment. Flynn scemed comparatively fresh, but could not get at his man. Rochette came back strong for the ninth round, but Flynn was content to takemat- ters easy. In the next round he went to work quickly and again had Rochette in trouble. The latter held on and lasted until the bell stopped hostilities, The ref- eree gave the decision to Flynn without | hesitation.

Lundy had the better of the first round until he was knocked down once, which changed the appearance of things. landed at will, but could not stop his game opponent. Trost came back in the next round and put it all over Lundy, who seemed anxious to retire. This round was one of the most exciting ever fought by amateurs. Kid Dodson and Edward Wiley boxed eight fierce rounds, the latter winning on points. He knocked Dodson down in the third round when he stayed down elght seconds. He went down again in the eighth round, but was up in a moment, It was give and take for every moment | of the fight with Wiley, forcing matters. There were times when each of the boxers were on the verge of going out, but they stayed to the end. William Condon was the aggressor in his bout with Willlam Perry and was award. ed the fight by Referee McGinley. In the jast three rounds he was viclous and rushed his nv‘?onent frequently. Before the fight ended both men were in trouble and nearly fell out of the ring from ex- haustion. . Charles Jackson and Jack Sulllvan ecan give pointers to any “knockabout team' on the vaudeville stage. They knocked one another down a dozen times in the first round and repeated the performance in the second, when the referee stopped it. At the time Sullivan was taking a for- rible beating and could not hold up his hands. Previously he had his opponent nearly out. There were more knockdowns in two rounds than the average ring fol- lower would see in a lifetime. It was announced that the club would give threc exhibitions @ month hereafter and that more suitable quarters would be secured. The present ones are cramped, and many patrons of boxing refuse to en- ter them owing to the lack of proper ex- its in _case of panic.

Members of the Popular Native Sons’ Parlor at an Installation Banquet.

Judge Frank H.

LAST DAYS OF FOUGERE I have not heard many opinions ex- pressed of Fougere, but judging from the determined applause she incites at the Orpheum it would appear that she has caught on. She should. Whatever may be said of her frank Frenchness, whatever may be said of her volce, she is still the brightest star on the bill and she is to take her leave after the present week. | No one quite as artistic has visited us in | a long time. In her own way, Fougere Is one of the big people of stageland and | should be experienced by every one who | makes it a business to go and take the | children to see the best artists of the en- tertainment world. Fougere is the best we are likely to see in the chanteuse line for a long time, though perhaps, on second thought, It might be wiser for the persons who make a practice of seeing the best of everything to leave the children at home in this case. Fougere is not edifying to youth, but she is all I have sald she is and a good deal more it is quite Impossible to say. How- ever amiable one may be to Americans, Fougere does things that Americans do, but does them in so different a way that we simply have to acknowledge her orig- inality. She does things also that Amert- cans cannot do and perhaps a few things that they would not care to, but what- ever she does, there is always in it the fascinating personal quality that wins every time. 1 might say a few more things of this exceedingly clever person, for she is a smpting subject, but there are others at the Orpheum deserving of attention, and 1 have given this much time and space to her because there are only a few remain- ing opportunities in which to see her, and 1 may persuade some one that it is worth while. One word more. This week Fougere Is singing “T'll Leave My Happy Home for You,” which last week was Dorothy Drew's best bit, and the différence in her conception—a decidedly French concep- tion—is peculiarly |nteresunfi.

If city property has been seized in neighborhood it must have been done the wealthiest and .most fashionable resi- dents and property holders of Oakland— only their property abuts upon the lake.

Some of them claim that, under deeds which they hold, they own everything from the front end of the land ciear out into the middie of the lake. I feel positive that they are absolutely wrong. “There are fine residences along the lake shore, between Madison and Jackso streets, which are located upon city prop- erty without a doubt. I helped to make a resurvey of the city land boundaries around the .ake several years ago and while there is some doubt as to the exact location of the old Peralta line, still it can be ascertained within a few feet of the correct location. The survey was made in 1854 and the points from which it was done have all disappeared. It was done under the supervision of the United States Survey and there is no doubt that the proper data on which to make an au- thentic resurvey could be Washington.
