No programmed slate in a politi- cal corvention ever worked so smoothly. There was no haggling, no_contentious display. Both partfes to the contract seemed to know just what was wanted and ready signatures were affixed ag soon as the articles of agreement were deawn D. Jefiries came from Harbin Springs just to be present at the meeting. With him was Joe Egan, the man who looks out for the financial end of things when the big fellow Is on the road doing footlight | stunts. Egan and Delaney and -Jeffries made up one of the parties to the con- tract and Billy Madden, who engineer: all the business of the ‘“Akron Giant,” was the other. The original hour for the discussion of the articles was set at 2, but contrary to this understanding the necessary work in drawing up the papers and the signing was accomplished before 1 o'clock, 7 When the parties were seated it was suggested to get a copy of the old Cin- cinnati agreement. Madden had this on his person and the articles drafted yes- terday embody all the principal points of the former agreement and a few addi- tional terms. These were suggested from time to time as the new articies were be- ing written and fnserted in praper place.. Only one discussion occurred during the entire proceeding. =~ The Jeffries garly wished to reserve to itself the right of engaging In contests up to the time of the fight. Madden put a flat foot down on this proposition ‘and a compromise measure bridged what might have devel- oped into a slight disagreement. As it stands neither fighter can engage“in con- tests for more than four rounds up to the day of the fight.

Miss Alice Hager probably does more real work than all the other girls combined. Early morning finds her astride her wheel, at 10 o'clock she goes to the zolf links, at noon she is down at the beach and in the afternoon there Is a happy arrangement of time that gives each of her favorite sports a fair share of ttention. If it came to a matter of de- clding_whose arms were the brownest, Miss Hager would stand more than a fair | chance to win.

The ladies, rumor goes, are keeping their most stun- Iter Martin has and Walter ning creations for the latter part of the week. The handsomest gown that has been seen thus far was without doubt the white lace dress worn by Mrs. Carolan Jast evening. Mrs. Carolan has grown extremely thin since her recent illness, but it is not thinness that is unbecoming. She is graceful and willowy, and if her face is pale her eves appear.all the blacker and her hair all the more dark for it. Mrs. Downey Harvey has adopted the the contest was on account of the racing season being in full sway at that time and the probability of the strike belng at an end. positive and negative reasons for a big attendance. Jeffries prefers a date In the beginning of November. He de- clares himself willing to take on another aspirant for championship honors in De- cember, thus closing the year with two fights. Neither principal of the match signed the papers. Jeffries stood by while the articles were read to him, Egan signing a‘ a nod from the big fellow. Ruhlin was far away from the scene, chasing cotton- talls down at Blankins, where he will train for the fight. Billy Madden did the pen work for the man from Akron. According to the articles, Harry Cor- bett Is pretty much of a poohbah. He ls to be the arbiter In case of any ques- tions arising outside the agreement. He is also the stake holder. The articles of agreement in full are as follow: SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20. Articles of agreement entered into this 20th day of August. 1901, between James J. Jeffries and Gus Rublin: 1. Said James J.

R Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Aug. 20.—Maidle Stuart has $130,000. She drew $75,000 of it this morn- ing and will get the rest to-morrow. To add to the romance of it all Maidle Is a chorus girl. Her family has been in poor circumstanges and the little which the small daughfer could earn has been of vast assistarice. When the Metropoli- tan Opera Company took p fon of Sunnyside Park, Maldle began singing in the chorus. Meanwhile old Dame Fortune was working overtime to help her, and far away in California the Golconda of Maidie's” wiidest dreams was getting ready. 5 Some years ago Maldie’s farther bought 320 acres of land at Bakersfield, Cal.. mainly because it was cheap land and he had vague ideas he might some day do ft. rs_went by and the family forgot the land except when notified to pay taxes. When the Bakers- fleld ofl excitement began the Stuarts asked Attosney Edward O'Brien of 153 Dearborn street to see if the land was worth anything. Then Maidie went sing ing and the land was again forgotten. O’'Brien_closed out the land the other day for $150,000. Half of the money ar- rived to-day and Maidie nearly lost her eyes gazing at it. When the balance comes_ to-morrow she will probabl blind “for Kkeeps.” Miss Stuart says will not give up the stage.
