The opera house was crowded this afternoon with fight fans anxious to get every scrap of the news from Only white people were admitted, and the crowd, naturally, was almost exclusive! for Jeffries. Hence, whenever the liig Bear did anything there was cheering, and Johnson's clever work only caused a great silence. Richard Hackett was in charge of the wire at the opera house and.

Manager Meyer was quite sure lie hit a popular chord when he arranged to take the fight in detail. The members of the Beavers club also arranged to take the fight in detail, and at the club rooms Louis Hornthal had charge of the wire. Mavor Haves and a number of other prominent Reavers were present and listened to the news with the most intense interest. At the Beavers there was som wire trouble due to an incompetent operator on some other branch and a few of the details of the opening rounds were missed. Still most of the news of the early rounds was decidedly in favor of Jeff and this proved mighty good news to the Beavers.

There were fully fifty of the members present as well as some of the friends of the club. Leonard Flood was in charge of a special wire to Uncle Tom's place in South Washington street, where a big and enthusiastic crowd assembled to hear the returns. A number of negroes congregated in the Woodman's hall, over Iianes Hood, where the best of order prevailed, though naturally the colored people were all united for Jack Johnson. W. E.

Mollison and a num ber of prominent colored citizens were, present. Down town knots of people gathered and the sole topic of talk was the great fight. LIFE ON OCEAN WAVE. Middy Mount Searles Writes of His Experiences as Jackie. Mr.

Tom Searles has received the following interesting letter from his son, Mount, row a midshipman in the U. S. Navy, who with the Annapolis cadets is taking his annual cruise: Mid Atlantic, V. S. S.

lowa. June 12. Dear Pad: To say that I am lonesome would be putting it mildly, noth ing to see hut water, water, and then some more water; we haven't passed a single ship yet, and a life on the "ocean wave" is pioving rather monotonous to me. goodness I have not been sick though practically all the other fellows have, some of them cant eat a morsel and look like ghusts. my hut they are sick, when a man is sea sick he don't care what he says or does.

One fellow was on duty on the bridge and got sick, an officer told him to go to a formation, he was giving up his dinner then, here's his answer; don't he oli'ei'dod now: "To hell with formation I wouldn't go for my grand-daddy." I know the fellow and he's a tine chap, never curses, but seasickness would make Gabriel himself cuss. June 18th, yesterday and the day before we hit a "good sized little storm" and it was some rough, the ship rolled 1 degrees on each side, and the waves broke across the quarter deck continuously; looking down the trough of the big ones from a crest, it looked like a big valley with hunches of little hills scattered along it and when we got down in the trough the next wave looked like a pretty good-sized mountain coming towards us, the top of it would rush forward and suddenly curl over into the 'prettiest foam, I saw this from the port as I did not care to get outside. I was impossible to stand up either above or below, even the dishes refused to stay on the tables, could'i't blame them though when you From Monday's I consider the quality of "grub" they contained, have hen buying myself poor at the "ships canteen" cakes, candy for I can't cat the stuff we have been having. Everybody weighed today and I pulled the scales at 138 pounds. Today the sea is fairly calm, we are rolling just a bit but we always do that.

Qm on duty in the fire room at present and have to help tire a boiler with four furnaces in its "face" they are miniature infernos; hot, why the devil himself would be ashamed of his poor little iceberg, if he could try this a round, besides the heat, the dirt is awful, and when one can't wash it is not pleasant, but I am getting used to dirt now. The railway company will give us two special trains from Plymouth, to Lordon and have given us half rates, the trip will be a short one as it only requires eight hours to cover the dis tance, I mean the round-trip, Yesterday during the blow, a very, very small barkentine, passed us, she was certainly rolling and pitching, I felt for the sailors on board her, later on we passed a French bark, she had practically all her furled and those which she had set were reefed pretty closely, she was about three hundred feet long and seemed to be making it fairly well Monday night we had a show on the quarter deck, and it was very good One of the sailors danced, and he was the best clog dancer that I have ever seen; a negro also danced, but he was only fairly good. They had three boxing matches, one between negroes, and one of them knocked the other out, prize $3. They certainly fought for that three. One of the middies did some tumbling and a bunch of them sang, and two of them wrestled.

On the whole it was success, it broke the rnonoto. ny of an uneventful five days, the "marine band" we call them "gy-renes" furnished the music, they are about as rotten as musicians get, but something is better than nothing and our evening concerts are the er.vy of all the other ships, they have only heard about the band, so the treat of actually hearing it is a thing of the. future. This is Sunday the 10th, the weather is fine, a nice breeze blowing, the sun shining brightly, and the sea is calm, that is as calm as it gets to be tor t.ie mid Atlantic, just a bit of a roll. Today we are about two hundred miles from Plymouth, in fact we expect to sight the Seilly Islands before nightfall and then we will see Lands End.

Plymouth is about 100 miles from the latter place. We are meeting a goodly number of "wind jammers" now, but so far have only' met three liners. We encountered a terrible storm three days ago. The waves seemed like mottr. tains when they broke over the ship, fortunately the wind was behind us and we rode them pretty well, but every few minutes a big one would go over the after turrets, sweep across the quarter deck and at times the water would rush across seven or eight feet deep, when we would ride one you could stand on the fo'castle and see it slide away it would get higher and higher as we went down in the trough sometimes the water would be ten or more feet over our heads but as it was going away from us there was no harm or danger in it, it was a grand sight, and one that you would have to see to appreciate.

We will be in London from Friday until Sunday, we have an invitation to dine with the Lord JIayor, and the boys are all saving up for it, they will make that table look siek. Wiil write you from there, if I get a chance. Yours, MOUNT. Public abuse demonstrates that, a man may be literally kicked into roininence. Post Extra.

and Speedy A Post reporter was present in the building and he knew what had happened, but he was requested by officials to print nothing about the matter in the regular edition of the afternoon paper, inasmuch as it was feared that some of the friends of the Rollisons might take it into their heads to lynch the negro, considering that he ought to get death instead of Vince Guido, one of the well known and industrious Italian citizens of this city, has returned from a six months F'ay in Lexington, where he ha business interests.
