DARCY u. SMITH'. THE FIGHT OE THE CENTURY. .Every new fighter as he comes along, .if-die. makes any showing at all, is aeJciiiiuuHl a champion, and oreyheads who have,biffin the rise and fall or s'ewres -of embryo "white hopes" love t'b/ linger reminiscently over the ', triumphs of other days. Another generation will have plenty to talk about when they reach the name of that invincible whirlwind fighter, Los Darcy. It was inevitable that he should find his way onto the picture screen, and lovers of the good old British sport are fortunate to be able to see him in counterfeat presentment in one of his most, famous. ..fights, , that, wfth Dave Smith", a battle for the heavy'w'eight championship of Australasia, fought in the presence of an immense crowd at Rushcutter's Bay Sydney. Tlie picture of this famous conflict will be shown at His Majesty's tonight.

It was in the twelfth round, after a strenuous fight, cud came, when Darey jput the tiring Smith to isjeep with two quick upper cuts. The picture was taken under exceptionally good conditions, and is a faithful record of this historic fight from start to finish. PROPHECIES OF THE WAR. There was a good audience last night at His Majesty's Theatre,-when. Mr Kclhiud lectured on "Prophecies of the War." The lecturer stated that the Present world war had been foretold by a number of prophets extending over 2,500 years from the time of 'Daniel down to the present day. There were various schools of prophets. Some were Seers, others were Astrologers and Kabalists, but all were Occultists. St. John was both Seer and Kabalist as the following 'quotation would prove: "Here is wisdom, let him that hath understanding count the number of tho Beast, it is the number of a man"—Rev. 13-18,

Every man, woman and child was governed by a number, am! that was the secret keep which unlocked the mysterv. The lecturer stated that he would explain the system on Wednesday next at the Foresters' Hall. Mr Kelland quoted extensively frqm a number of prophecies: Tin? K'psy woman of Mayennce, A.D. 1810; Brother John, 1000 A.D. ; the Japanese prophecy of 1790, A.D.; that when men should fly like birds/ then ten nations should war, seven against three, all of which he affirmed, undeniably referred to the present world war, and he illustrated the fulfilment of these prophecies by a number of beautifully-coloured photographs which were thrown on the screen. Mr Kelland also recited in a most effective manner Homy Chappel's poem, "The Day," which was also pictorially illustrated in colors. Mr Kelland sold a number ol cards on" which were printed two poems, "Heroes not mentioned in Despatches" by Jesse Pope, and "Tbe Day" by Henry Chappel, ami proceeds amounting to 21s which he has handed over to the local Patriotic Fund for Wounded Soldiers.
