BIGGEST FIGHT 1
IN ALL HISTORY
GIBBONS SLIGHTLY FAVORITE
AND THE WHOLE COl'NTRY
AWAITS THE RKSl’LT.
NEW YORK. Sept. 8.—Gibbons is
now slightly the favorite for what is
expected to be the greatest tight in
the whole history of the roped arena.
He and Tacky have made the weight
and by the time they face each other
next Saturday each will be the most
perfect speciman of trained pugilism
that ever answered to a gong. Al
though Mike has a little more money
placed on him the balance in his favor
is so slight that it might well turn in
favor of his opponent at any moment.
Roth are perfectly confident of th*
result.
C ITY FINANCES IN Nl'TSHELL.
From the report of the municipal
clerk and treasurer, made last «iight
at the counril meeting, the city has to
its credit, in round figures, eleven j
hundred dollars. It has received
about ten thousand dollars since the
present council came into office, in
cluding eight thousand odd from fed
eral saloon licenses. The total amount
to be secured from all sources this
year is about thirty-four thousand
which is expected to meet all the ex
penditures.
EXTEND CONTRACT TIME.
An extension of ten days has been
given to Contractor C. E. Bade for
the conclusion of the work on Fourth
avenue. This extension was recom
mended by City Engines Whitfield
because of losses of scows ami other
accidental delays. Only a small patch
of cement work remains to be done
and this is waiting the arrival of
cement. Mr. Bade has done wonders
in finishing the work considering the
weather and other matters.
TO TIE UP HORSES.
At the meeting of the municipal
Bundesrath last evening an ordinance
was introduced to make it a misde
meanor for owners of horses to let
the animals run lose in the streets.
Chamberlin and Crawford thought the
step unecessary and harsh on the
owners of horses and they voted
against the measure but the rest vot
ed the other way although the senti
ment generally seemed to be in favor
of not enforcing the ordinance at
present.
