advanced and the right across his breast,
while CAaron came nimbly up with his
hands very low But little sparring was
indrlged in, as, Collyer rushed in and sent
blow which just reached Barney's breast.
In return for this compliment he received
4 spank on the left cheek, and directly
another one in the same spot. which
! brought the blood trickling down his face.
First blood claimed and allowed for Aaron.
Collyer rushed in and forced the fighting,
Barney retreating. Several blows were
exchanged of little moment, until Collyer
got in one with his right hand on Aaron's
left ribs, which staggered him, and he fell
\ in the retreat. 't@''it- s- ''' ~"
ROUND 2-Both men were prompt to
time, Collyer crossing rapidly towards
Aaron's corner to get at him, IL being evil
| dent that he intended to cut out the work
and force matters smartly along. He
missed well intentioned left handler, and
received singing one from Barney's left.
Sam then rushed in and with his right sent
a rasper on his adversary's ribs. which
H knocked Barney down. First knock down

which considerable sums had been wagered
at great odds. Collyer, in his impetuosity,
tumbled over Aaron The round was very
short. ,,3,r,o.-. 80, -. ..s..,a..5..
ROUND 3.-On time being called Collyer
rushed at Aaron with his LETT, which the
latter stopped very neatly, and returned
with very sharp rap on Sans left cheek
bone, Sam replying to this with right

of Col1yer's head near the temple, and fol-
Lowing up this advantage put in four
| facers in succession, while Collyer's blows
were all stopped by Aaron. Barney finally
put in another severe hit with his right
hand on Collyer's left cheek bone, from
which the latter went down. Aaron was
lighting on the retreat all the time. He
twas doing much mischief, and Collyer was
following and hitting desperately without
being successful a .i Q = % g., 15T
b ROUND 4.-Aaron after dancing away
from Collyer. struck out with his left,
which missed its mark, and Sam was SO
quickly upon him, left and right, that he
could not get away from hard fighting. and
they knuckled away at each other at sh0rt
range for some time, Sam getting in hve
sharp right handlers on Barney's face,
while the latter was equally active in de-
Iiivering his blows, although they did not
appear to be SO effective. They struggled
at length for the fall, Collyer going under,
and when he was being taken to his corner
bhis face as we'll as Barney's, appeared to
ihave changed considerably for the worse.

lowed. s,l le-.a O. rs1.d
ROUND 5.-When time was CALLED Coll
yer walked rapidly across the ring, but as
tsoon as Barney faced him the latter began
running away, stopping but for moment
Ito plant a sharp hit on Sans left eye. The
latter then dashed at Barney and hit him
tremendous blow in the left ribs, little
below the armpit, from which a large lump
! showed itself at once. Barney got in an
other left handler on Sans damaged eye,
and then began lodging and running
about, with the latter following. Collyer
succeeding in getting three stout right
tbanders on Barney's left ribs, in exchange
for which he received two jabs in the
mouth, which sent the blood flying in pro-
fusion. He got two more on the nose and
a third blow in the mouth as he pushed the
fighting, when, coming to a clinch, Barney
was thrown, with Collyer on him heavily.
; loI ROUND 6.-Collyer was no sooner at the
scratch than he made desperate lunge
with his right hand at Barney's left ribs,
which reached home, and on the instant
! Barney dropped on his knees, believing
that Collyer, in the heat of the moment,
would strike him again, and thus lose the
. fight. The latter, however, was not to De
caught in that trap, and he quietly walked
to his corner. This round was very short.
ROUND 7.-Collyer was first at the
scratch, and after little sparring he let go
his left at Barney's head, but the latter
lodged the blow and again dropped on his
knees. L : ~ = 40 ZlE -t-. :.
-RouND S.-Collyer was now bleeding
freely from the nose and mouth. They
struck each other simultaneously, when
Barney cliuched the ropes, and as he did
so Collyer- hit him, which the partizans of
Barney soon claimed foul for. The referee
was appealed to, but tthatfunctionary would
, not allow it, but at the same time he eau
toned Collyer to be more careful in the
future. l.1 Eo =. -as - 9 sa-.. .a.-.ss b,.

received a sharp hit on the sore eye. Sam

. received a return in the mouth. Barney
kept on the run, getting in his flight right
handler on the left shoulder. The latter
then steadied himself, and met Collyer with
a heavyweight handler on the left cheek bone,
then another with the left hand in the
mouth. Barney then dropped on his knees,
either to avoid punishment or to get Sam
TO strike him in that position. This system
z of fighting, although pleasant to his back
I ers, received murmurs from the crowd, and
{ Kissing was heard as Barney was taken to
J his corner. Aaron had decidedly the ad-
vantage during the round. p-l

! took to the dodging game, and by ducking
and rising quickly planted on Collyer's lett
, cheek; tien they hit together, their blows
3 taking effect on the same spot on the left
cheek. Sam next sent his right at the body
and got we'll home, but received in return
for fayors stinger on the nose and an

J many large Jumps, particularly about the
left temple and cheek bone, while Barney s

I activity avoiding all but two of Collyer's
;, blows. These were both left handlers on
y the neck. Aaron during the round hit
! Collyer seven times sharply, three times or
