The Chamber Again Filled by Large Crowds GAZETTE' s BUREAU, 709 EAST CAPITOL Strainer1 WASHINGTON, MARCH 13. i The Senate chamber was again filled bylarge crowds (3)1113 to hear a con— tinuance of the Cuban debate. 0 o o ‘ Mr. Lodge rose to stit-e th it Mr. Sherman had made an inadvertent error in his statement yesterday in saying that he (Lodge) had seen Secretary Olney, and had secured from him pri- vate papers and information as to Cuba. The papers which Mr. Sherman refer~ red to came to the comittse on Foreign Relations from the State Department. at the request of the committee. , o o o ‘ This brought Mr. Hoar to his, feet with a surprised inquiry as to whether the Senate should not have the benefit He regarded this as a most important phase not heretofore dis- closed. “It would be proper to lay it before the Senate in executive session,” re- sponded Mr. Sherman. “Then,” continued Mr. Hoar, “it would seem quite appropriate for the committee on foreign relations to move such an executive session.” Mr. Wolcott added that the explana- tionjust given placed the Senate in a most unusualdilemma. ”Senators are asked,” said Mr, Wolcott, “to vote on a question of fact, on testimony reposing in the breast of members of the .com- mittee on foreign relations; on testi— public or us. exceptin executive session.

The Doorkeepcr’s Circle of the Kings Daughters gave a pleasingand interest- ing entertainment at the Congregation- al chapel last evening. The recitations by Miss Short were happily rendered and as happily received by those pres- ent. The lady is deservedly a favorite elocutionist with Norwalk people. Mrs. Martin Schultz,of New York, sang seve- ral selections and was deserving of the hearty encores given her. A pleasing feature of the evening’s entertainment Was the violin music by Miss Agnes Littlejohn accompanied by Miss Sallie Betts on the piano.

The athletic entertainment given by the newly organized South Norwalk Athletic club, at their rooms on Wash- ington street, last evening, surpassed any ever given by the old club. and promises success for the future. Long before ill—1 appointed hour crowds began to arr‘Ve until at 8 o’clock the rooms down stairs, as well as the gymnasium where the stage was erect- ed, were filled to suffocation. It was an orderly crowd too, except- ing in the Matthews-Webster bout, when excitement ran so high that it was necessary for the managers to withdraw the contestants. The form of Chief Vollmer loomed 11p in a seat at the north end of the stage but the able and prompt manner in which John Conroy and Dan McIntire met every emer- gency arising during the entertainment made his services unnecessary. Edward Brennan presided at the piano and entertained the audience with several selections until the coming bouts were arranged. It was 8:40 o’clock when Chairman Conroy entered the ring and holding up his hand enforced silence. In a short speech he informed his hearers that they were there to witness friendly boxing and it all remained with them whether the bouts were continued or not. “If,” said Mr. Conroy, “you re- main quiet you will see them, but if you make any unnecessary noise the bouts will be promptly stopped.” He then introduced Dan McIntyre as mas- ter of ceremonies and withdrew while the popular Dan was receiving the ap- plause of the audience. Referee McIntyre annouced that the entertainment would open with a four round go between. Lambert Schntskyl and William Hamilton. Both men , ac- knowledgedrthe introduction and after shaking hands retired to their respec« ' Upon the sounding of the gong, which was under the skillful direction of Louis Potter, the men fac- ed each other. The four rounds were exceedingly tame, neither boxer ap- pearing to have much science. If a de- cision could be given it would be in fa- vor of Schutsky who did make several straight lead's. Martie McCue of New York and Billy Prang of Brooklyn were next intro- duced and gave the audience the finest exhibition of boxing ever seen in the club rooms. The closing third round when both men exhibited their science in right and left hand cross-counters,was especially fine, and when they retired were followed by ringing applause. The next on the program was an ex- hibition of heavy weight lifting by Fred Dahlgren of Saugatuck. His easy handling of two 100 pound iron balls was marvelous and he was loudly ap- plauded. Then folllowed one of most spirited contests of the evening, a four roupd bout between Jack Woods. of Brook- lyn, and Fred Sirett, of Bridgeport. Both men have appeared before Nor- walk audiences before but it is safe to say that Sirett never showed to such good advantage as he did last night. In the first round Woods paid his re- spects to Sirett’s wind and got in some hard blows and escaped with light re- return. In the second both men were cautious and very little leading was done by either and no hard blows were struck. In the third Sirett woke up and went after his man in a lively man- ner. With a straight left be split Woods’ lip and wish a hard right sent him to the floor. Woods was game, however, and quickly regained his feet and sent in several hot rib toasters be- fore the gong sounded. The fourth round was similar to the third, Sirett knocking Woods down and the latter jumping to his feet and pounding Sirett’s ribs. Both men exchanged body blows as the gong sounded for the close of the bout. , ’ Billy Hackett of Danbury followed With popular songs of the day, and was called upon to respond to several en- cores. ' The boxing was then acntinued and John Morelock of Danbury and Walter Jennings of New Haven introduced for a three-round go. Morelock was some twenty-five or thirty pounds heavier than his bantam opponent and took advantage of his antagonist until he was roundly hissed by the audience. He then eased up but in the third round again took advantage of Jennings and was again loudly hissed. When Jen- nings left the ring he Was loudly ap- plauded. Norwalk, Conn, Saturday Evening, March '14, 1896. Excitement ran high when Referee McIntyre introduced Lew Webster of East Norwalk and Charley Matthews of Danbury for a four round go. It was expected that this would be one of the events of the evening, and it would have been but for the noisy demonstration of the crowd and the very peculiar actions f Webster. , At the sound of the gong both men faced each other and Webster went right at Matthews evidently with the intention of closing the bout then and there. Webster let go his right for Matthews but the clever boxer dodged and forced Webster against the ropes with right and left upon the jaw. clinched and at the break Matthews slipped and fell. He was quickly up and Webster went at him again and a clinch followed. Webster then deliber- ately threw Matthews down and fell up- on him. A claim of foul was made but Referee McIntyre replied that fouls were not recognized in friendly ~bouts. The audience had become so demon- strative over Webster’s actions that the Refree sent both men to their corners. In the second round Webster again; deliberately threw Matthews and the audience becoming too demonstrative Referee McIntyre sent both men to their corners. The third round was similar to the other two and was promply stopped. Matthews took off his gloves and walk- ing to the ropes said, “I came here to box four rounds and not to wrestle. I will meet any 120 pound man in the state.” -- The audience applauded and Matthews retired from the ring follow- ed by Webster. ' The outcome of this bout was a sore disappointment as it would have been. one of the most interesting of the evening had not the audience become boisterous and Webster too eager. Chairman Conroy again entered the ring and notified the audience that un- less order was observed every bout would be stopped in the same manner as the last. Bob Eccles of Stamford was then in- troduced and soothed the excited audience with several vocal selections. Then came the event of the evening, a six round wind up between “Dutch” Monahan, of South. Norwalk,vand Dan Keefe, of Greenwich. Monahan ,was promptly on hand but it was nearly half an hour before Keefe made his appear- ance. When he entered the ring and took his corner it was observed that. he wore thick leather wrist protectors. Objection was at once made by Mona- han’s seconds and after considerable wrangling they were removed. Before introducing the contestants Referee McIntyre again admonished the audience to preserve order if they 'desired to witness the bout otherwise it would be promptly stopped. Stepping lo the ropes Referee Mc- Intyre in his usual urbane manner in- troduced Monahan and Keefe who bowed in response to applause. Both men shook hands in the center of the ring and returned to their corner. As the gong sounded Keefe was the first to come forward quickly followed by Monahan. On the farmer’s face was a look of confidence while Dutch wore a serious expression. Both men fiddled for an opening for some time when Dutch rushed and Keefe slipped down. He was quickly up and Dutch rushed h1m again delivering his left on the nose, drawing the claret, and his right over the heart. When they faced each other again Keefe got in a hot right on Dutch’s jaw just before the gong sounded. Round two opened with Keefe plant- ing his right on Dutch’s jaw and the latter responded with a left on the jaw of his antagonist. Dutch then rushed Keefe and planting his left over the eye sent in his right like a sledge hammer upon his wind. Keefe went againt the ropes as thought shot from a catapult, and turning half around measured his full length upon the floor, his head striking with a dull thud. Keefe was unaple to get up and had the referee counted would have been out. He was assisted to his corner when the gong sounded. When Keefe came up for the third round his right eye was draped in mourning and the look of confidence had been replaced by one of seriousness. However,he got in two uppercuts,which had they not been stopped by Dutch’s arm would have made the latter groggy. Dutch rushed Keefe to the ropes again with a left on the face and right on the wind. As Keefe came to the center of the stage Dutch rushed and let go his left which Keefe caught under his arm and hung onto notwithstanding the Referee’s order to “break.” Dutch in the meantime was visiting Keefc’s ribs and heart with his right. Round four was rather tame both menappearing tired.Keefe got in a hard right on the jaw and Dutch visited the sore spot over ,Keefe’s heart 'with a right that made 111m grunt. The round ended with Keefe getting another right 0n Dutch’s Jaw in the latter’ 3 corner. Bothr When the fifth .round opened Keefe kept away and Dutch landed six punch- es over his heart without a return. The round closed with Keefe’s right in 'on Dutch’sjaw. The sixth and last round was all in fairor of Dutch. He landed on Keefe’s jaw with his left and visited the heart with his right repeatedly. Keefe tried several uppercuts but they were nicely stopped. Dutch rushed and Keefe cleverly evaded him several times and and when the gong rang both men were in opposite corners of the ring. ‘ As they shook hands Monahan was loudly cheered and outside of an addi- tion to his previous black eye showed no effects of the lively bout. Keefe’s left eye was in mourning and a large welt on his back showed where he had been driven against the ropes. his wrists were also sprained. This closed the most successful enter- tainment ever given by the S. N. A. C. and to the committee, Messrs. John Conroy, Dan McIntyre, Fred Coleman, J. T. Powers and P. Seib, belongs the credit of. having successfully carried out every part of the program. . There were delegations from Dan- bury, Stamford, Bridgeport, Westport, Greenwich, Northport, L. I., and all the nearby tdwns present to witness the entertainment, ani it is safe to say that tall were . pleased with the evening’s sport. ‘ LIKED HIS WHISKEY. Clarence Hazleton Breaks Open Ike Ham- ilton’s Cash Drawer. Upon opening his bar in the War- wick House this morning Ike Hamilton, the proprietor, discovered that his cash register had been broken open some- time during the night, and $7.80 ab- ,rstractedr. He also found the following 'note left by the thief: , “We hope this will teach you a lesson .Doont leave so big a pile of money in :drawer. brother and i likes your whis- key so much. today we come back to ’ ought to got more.

He was taken before Judge Frost and sent to the Meridcn Reform school and was escorted there by the Chief on the noon train. Are Esquires and Sir Knights. At a meeting of Pioneer Castle, K. of M.
