Haverly'a Minstrels smiled upon a crowded house wbn the curtain rose in the Opera House last night, and the entertainment had but fairly opened when the audience were smiling broadly in return. The first part presented several new features which added greatly to its interest. The usual Quartette was in the en semble, but instead of singing as a quartette each of the voices was given a song, and the eflVet was as of a concert of iokvbvft. Of the end men Hughey Dougherty was suffering from the "Pittsburgh grip," which left him almost voiceless, but all the rest were eood. and the little fellow is likely to be heard irom oetore the week is out.

Among the specialists are Bobby Newcomb, Johnson and Powers, Seamon and Girard and Billy Richardson, while J. Carroll Johnson is as quaintly fnnny as ever. The "Princess of Madagascar," with which the bill concludes, is an extravagaLza hilarious beyond description, but with not a sugges tion ot coarseness in lL Pantomime was presented in its best style at Library Halilaxt night, ith Geo. n.

Adams has improved greatly 'as a clown tduoe be was last here, and he was then acknowledged to head his line, Iu ad dition to the pantomime a number of tine specialty acts are introduced in the second act. Tony Pastor and his company received a royal greeting at the Academy of Music fast night, every seat in all the sections being taken, and all available standing room being occupied. Mr. Pastor was in oue of his happiest moods and merrily eang the latest of his songs. Tne musical actor Miss LUiie Westeru, the sketch by the Irwin sisters and Jacques Kruger and Frank and Lillian White in a new sketch were all received with favor.

BULL DOGS IN SAVAGE COIT- FLICT AT COLLIEES. Close Gamo at Louisville and Other Base Ball News. Latest Gossip About Jay Eye See.

The sterile West Virginian soil so recklessly distributed about Collier's station fairly bristles with stakes that have been left standing in consecration of the sporting events which called them into service. Yesterday four more 6takes were driven there and a pit made to test fighting qualities of two notable dogs. Jack Napoleon, owned by P. M. Kirley, of the South Side, and Canada Jim, owned by Clare Dee Boss, of the Fast Eud, fought for a purse of 500, which was won in twenty-one and one-half minutes by Kirley'a dog Jack.

The sporting men of this and of neigtiboring cities mot as if by accident yesterday morning at a point in Virginia, north of Paris Roads, and not more than five minutes' walk from the State line. At 10:40 everything waa in readiness, a gentleman from New York acting as referee nuder the nom de plume of Mexico Bill. The dogs had been washed carefully and placed in their respective corners in the neat white canvas pit. Kirley handled bis own dog and the Eist End bull was the care of a professional. THE FITTIXG.

Lkke a flash the air white terriers, his corner with rose to receive. seemed to be filled with Jack met his opponent in a mighty leap which Jim The forc9 of the meeting turning through the air a sent both dogs glimmering white dog-staT set in a constel lation 01 sporting men, who mur-mered their approval in such language as "Twenty-five to fifteen Napoleon gets away with Moscow," the latter appellation supposed to apply to Jim, with the briudle ear. Scarcely hal the dogs touched the earth when they sprang together, taking a lip and lip hold, in this manner tbey rose to a wrestling position, straining every nerve in their sinewy bodies to the utmost.

Then they whirled round the pit in evolutions that were perfectly bewildering. The double hold yielded at length to the strain and the dogs flew apart, the break resulting in Jack's favor, be making a handy catoh on Jim's throat. Both animals were fighting strong. Jack resorted to his old trick and released his neck hold to take one fore leg, the most dangerous grip possible. He accidentally caught his own foot, but a slight squeeze caused him to release it.

During this by-play Jim secured a good grip on Jack's brisket, which resulted in a strong repetition of the first wrestle. Again they broke with a fall in favor of Jack. Before he rose Napoleon was fastened to his brisket, while Jim tried to free himself with bis legs. For this he was lifted up bodily and thrown with a thump, followed by a lightning catch on his hind leg which was broken almost as soon as it was made. Ear holds were exchanged with great rapidity, both dogs fighting last and furious.

Agaiu Jack triad for a leg hold, bat mde no better catch than a jaw. The advantages were exchanged rapidly until Jim stopped for breath with his ear in Jack's mouth. The strong, fast fighting was telling visibly on both animals, both were blowing hard. Holds began to be more lecgthy, one lasting for fully fifty seconds. Both dogs then made play for the famous leg bold, and twice Jack wounded his Opponent severely.

As they wrestled and tugged at each other's vitals the crowd grew excited. The backers of Jack Napoleon hoarsely advised Kirley not to scratch his dog as he was killing the brindled eared dog. The other side wanted to see a scratch that their champion might have a chance to gain bis wind. The dogs were still fighting vioiously with Jim under. Suddenly Jack reieased his hold, and the dogs were carried to their corners and sponged.

Wht-n time was called for Jim to scratch he couldn't stand, and the fight was given to Kirley'a dog in 21 minutes. Jack has been a victor in eleven and Kirley now announces that he win match him against any dog in the world at thirty-three pounds for $1,000. ECLIPSE 2, BAJLTIMOKE 1.
