Floss, 133 pounds; < George Peterson vs. Teddy IMMY BRITT, the amateur light- weight boxer, will prove to-night whether he is worthy to rise to the first ranks of the professional back seat. He is to test his mettle against Toby Irwin, a tried boxer, in the arena of the Acme Athletic Club. He has trained hard and assures his friends that | he is fit to battle for a kingdom. On the other hand, Irwin is aware of the hard contract he has on his hands and has prepared for it. He will enter the arena with a determination of making Britt's colors trail in defeat. For three weeks he has trained and his appearance proves it. His hand no longer bothers him and he can punch with all his force with- out danger of injuring that useful mem- ber. They will weigh in at 133 pounds. Manager LAvigne has prepared seats for 3000 people. The advance sale of tickets has been extremely large. The interest Bettin op. & [si} 1:19%; % .

On every side is heard a discussion of the relative merits of the boxers. Each contestant has his following and they will be there in force to-night to cheer their men on to vietory. The Olympic Club will send a delegation of 200 members over to the event. They will be seated in a body and by their pres- ence hope to instill Britt with confidence. The Sixth-street crowd will also be on hand to cheer Britt, their champion. Irwin comes from the Telegraph Hill district and he has the backing of every ‘‘rock roller” in that vieinity. The men will box fiftecn rounds. A side bet of $00 and a percentage of the receipts will spur them on. The betting on the fight is 10 to 8, with Irwin on the long end. These odds will probably switch before the men enter the ring and it is more than likely that the betting will be even., The winner of this contest will be matched to fight Jack O’Brien before the Yosemite Club this month. The preliminary battles will be between Gene Young and Frank George and Young Gibbs and Jack McDonald. The AIR THEIR GRIEVANCES ON PUBLIC STREET William Robinson and His Wife Ar- rested for Disturbing the Peace. William Robinson and his young Aus- tralian wife continue to keep themselves and their differences before the public. Saturday night Policeman Wolters saw a crowd of about 1000 people in front of the Hibernia Bank, and on pushing his way through discovered Mrs. Robinson, con- siderably under the inuuence of liquor, Striking at her husband end abusing him shamefully. The couple persisted in air-- ing their grievances in the presence of the officer, and he placed them under arrest for disturbing the peace. Mrs. Robinson spent Saturday night in prison, but was released Sunday morning on bail. Robin- son was almost immediately released on bail by a friend. They appeared before Judge Fritz yes- terday, when Robinson explained that he had been separated from his wife for some time and had arrived from Japan a few days ago. He saw her staggering along Market street with another woman and grabbed hold of her with the inten- tion of getting a hack to send her ta her rooms, on Bllis and Taylor. streets. Sne was so addicted to drink that he had made up his mind to get a divorce. The Jndge dismissed both cases. I'.e couple came into prominence first about two years ago, when Mrs. Robin- son had her husband, who was then a printer in Sacramento, arrested for steal- ing her purse in front of the Grand Hotel. Considerable sympathy was enlisted for her at the time by her story of her hus- band’s treatment of her, but it afterward turned out that he was the sufferer owing to her love for liquor, He was brought before Judge Mogan and the case was dismissed. Subsequently Mrs. Robinson was arrested for raising a disturbance in a house on Ellis street while intoxicated.

SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 17.—Dr. Mattson, of the Corinthian Yacht Club, together with his wife and brother, had a thrilling escape from death on the bay during yes- terday’s storm. Dr. Mattson and his party went to Tiburon early in the day and boarded his launch for a pleasure cruise. The storm struck the launch at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon. It was im- possible to return to Tiburon, and for a time it seemed unlikely that the launch could be kept afloat. The party not hav- ing returned by 2:30 o’clock, one of Mc- Neil's launches started out on a search. The extremely rough weather, however, compelled the would-be rescuer to return. Dr. Mattson's launch breasted the storm nobly, and finally the doctor made a land- ing near “The Brothers” lighthouse. The party returned overland and the launch was brought back this morning. George Peres, a boatman of Tiburon, took out a party in the early afternoon on his Fleetwing, and had a most dis- agreeable experience as well as a nar- row escape from being swamped. The Fleetwing had as passengers two gentle- men and two ladies, guests of J. Callahan of San Francisco. The excursionists were warned not to go out in such weather but they started. They were caught in the full fury of the storm. Peres had a hard timé to keep his craft afloat, and he says that he never expected to return to the shore. After several hours he suc- ceeded in effecting a lafding near Kl Campo. His passengers, though wet and cold, walked over the mountains to.1ib- uron. A barge crew of the Olympic Boat Club, with Percy Hammond in charge, was in the storm’ off Sausalito and was finally rescued by one of McNeil's launches from buron. . Sig. Ottenhelmer and F. Bartlett of the Corinthian Yacht Club were at the mercy of the waves for some time in a small yawl off Sausalito, and with great diffi- culty reached Tiburon safely. . Brooker Bros. of New York.

This much Mr. Aubury admits, but he refuses to give out t | names 'of concerns that he is investigat- ing. He said: There are fake concerns In this State that are making all sorts of pretenses in the East and jn Burope to ensnare the unwary. I have received letters from bankers in Europe and elsewhere in which were Inclosed circulars sued from this city and other points in Call- fornia, in which the pretense of being abis to earn enormous annual percentages on in- vestments annually is set forth. One banker in Parls has written to me that he is sat fied that a concern to which his attention has been attracted by one of his clients is paying Gividends from Its capital and not from iis earnings. After looking the matte I am convinced that he s _about right sup position. I will not mention the concern ver, but I will soon have all the facts about the property that is made the basis of the cular in question. This is a mining propos! tion, but there are oil propositions that ar DProceeding on the same line. Ofl properties and mines will be investigate wherever there is any reasonable question c: cerning the representations that they are mak- ing for the purpose of selling stock. I take it that the duty of the State Mineralogist re- quirés Bim to do all that can be done to pro- tect the legitimate mining interests of tha State. If the public learn that fakes will bs exposed that will benmefit the solid concerns that are doing business on the square. But if the fakers can go on and gull the public the reputation of the State will be hurt all legitimate enterprises seeking capital for development will be hampered, I have conferred with the Attorney General and he has informed me that this is the only way in which the State Mineralogist can act. When a company is found to be. operating under false pretenses I will inform the Post- master General of the United States and that will lead to_ having the objectionable circulars excluded from the mails.
