Jargstorff is the heavyweight cham pion of the Pacific Coast. He weighs 1S5 pounds and has speed and a punch which is a terror to those who have met him. His opponent in the Port land ring will be Ed Miebus, the 175 pound boy of Tommy Tracy's class. Miebus has fought some hard battles. His selection of blows is a point in his favor and will furnish tho base for backing against the Los Angeles man. Jargstorff is unknown to most of the Portland followers. i The other Los Angeles entry is Ernie Ciark, who will box at 145 pounds. He also has enough glory back of him to make a good stand. He is one of the most spirited boys brought out by Chairman Frank, of the Multnomah Club boxing committee. The trip up did not hurt any of the Southern boxers and they are ready to step into the ring right now. The San Francisco collection also is an all-star one. Moretto, In the 125 pound class, looks like a hard man to eliminate. He is sinewy and quick and mixes things plentifully. The Spokane and other Northern boys will be in the city tomorrow.

With one voice the spectators would acclaim the marvelous volcanic eruption of Ve suviua. Gripped by the theme and the wonderful acting of the Italian actors, the audiences at the People s sit lently awaiting the tremendous climax of Lord Bulwer Lytton's story. The spectacle is at its bravest. Parades of gladiators afoot and on horseback have passed, the great ampitheater is alive with throngs of sightseers. All is ready for the big feature of the day's sport the death of Glaucus, the hero of the story. He has been given a puny dagger and thrust Into the arena. Lions, mad with hunger, spring from their cages. Suddenly Into the Arena leaps Sallust, friend of Glaucus. He points to Arbaces as the real mur derer of Apaecides, and cries that Glaucus is innocent. The crowd leaps to its .thousands of feet and is about to make a demonstration, crying "Ar baces to the lions," when the sky be comes darkened. From the distant mountain of Vesuvius there flares a great burst of fire and a shaft of burning light throws into relief the hurrying, scurrying crowds in the arena. Panic seizes the spectators and wild est confusion reigns. A blinding storm of cinders falls, through which the multitude can be seen seeking safety. The crater of the volcano ap parently boils and fiery lava pours down the sides In a seething molten mass. Long tangues of of ire leap from its top and great rocks tumble down the mountain side. The pictures depict the eruption so amazingly that it takes on the value of an actual occurrence. Vardon to Retire a Rich Man.
