MOWS K SW FULLOFPMISE Three Big Features on CarH Arranged for Manhattan Club Entertainment. During the last fow months tho patrons of the four-round boxing game In this city have been treated to , much good sport, . and seldom. If ever, have they been given a show tliat was not worth the .prloo" of admission. For tomorrow night's, bouts Manager Downing has arranged ar-ranged a programme of contestn that Includes the greatest variety of contests ho has ever had on ono night's bill, and If the prcsont advance salo of seats is an Indication, tho Oarrlck theater will bo crowded to the doors. .Thoro nro three big features on tho bill, any ono of which is good enough for a featuro of a tooxlng entertalnmont. Of course, tho renl headlinor and tho ono that is causing tho most talk among the lovers of good, fast and clean boxing is tho go between Harry Shaffer and Charley Mldklff. two of tho best short distance lightweights now in the city. The latter has not boxed here in more than two years. At that timo he was coming to the front In leaps and bounds. Although ho met a number of tho best boys in this city at that time, none, of them ever came anywhere near stopping him, and ho could glvo and take punishment punish-ment with any of them. Since then he has learned moro of the fine points of tho game, and at the present time is almost as clever as Shaffer, and with tho advantage of several pounds in weight and also an ndvantago In height and length of reach, the fans expect him to givo Shaffor ono of the busiest evenings he has had since ho mot Danny O'Brien. Tho big "battle royal" is sur'e to be a fun-maker, and tho fans are looking forward to the best laugh they have had In many a" day. Of course these events are only ftin.-makers. The men will all have on "pillows," as tho big gloves are called, and there is no cha'neo for anyone any-one to get hurt. Tho contestants in this bout have been selected from all parts of tho city, and they will not know who tho others In tho contest will be until they get ready to step into the ring. As there is no ono who will battle any harder than a bunch of strange negroes, this bout should provide a side-splitter for several minutes. , , Tho other feature will bring out four members of tho West Side Athletic club against a like number of tho Manhattan club bovs. As the hoys from the west side have been training for thl3 meeting for some time, they are all in tlio best of condition. Tho west side boys say they have a better bunch of boxers than tho Frampton club had. and are confident confi-dent of winning ruoro than their share of tho bouts. The two Haddock hoys, Bill and Ben, are said to bo youngsters of real class and ability. The older one has been matched with Tom Crawford of the Manhattan Man-hattan club, aud there should be something some-thing doing. , , ... Ben Haddock will bo paired up with Dan Stewart, and as tho lutter has always al-ways pleased tho fans. hl3 work will no doubt be up to the standard.
