Mr. Witt declared that he was not prepared, having had little time to get in condition.

However, another match was announced between the same men for September 22.

Mr. Witt says he is willing to put $500 up that he can win the match. Come on you Curtiss fans, show your colors. Watch for bill announcing this match.

Earl Parks furnished the music for the dance which followed the march "A wonderful crowd" as many said. Parks will furnish the music on Sept. 22 as well.

Mr. Schroeder is trying to give the sporting element a clean show for their interest and Saturday night's crowd surely showed that everyone present appreciated what his is trying to do.
