Throughout the Dominion record audiences have added to the univarsal acclamation with which the pict tures of the great fight have been received. The actual fight itself is depicted in the clearest detail in the second round, when Carpentier made the terrific onslaught which almost, but not quite, won him the championship of the world, together with a tidy fortune.

The attention of patrons is drawn to the necessity of reserving their seats in order to avoid disappointment. The box plan will be at Collier’s until 5 p.m.
