New YORK, Feb. 10.-Thirty men, who
had paid s. each for a ticket, dropped in
n by one into an uptown hall between
midnight and 1 O'Clock Thursday morning
and saw Jim Connolly and Jack Mcconnell
slug each other with small, hard gloves
till the referee thought there would be
danger in letting them so on. More blood
was shed in one Of the fonr rounds than
was spilled in Salliyan's entire tight with
Ryan. From the first exchange they fought
like madmeu, all over the ring, landing
terrific blows. When three minutes were
up and time was called, both men were
battered and bleeding. They went into
the second round no less desperately, The
hard gloves cut their faces and breasts,
aud each seemed more bent upon diss-
bling his adversary than defending him.
self. Blood covered their faces and dripped
on their chests. The Oldest frequenters
OF prize fights present said they had never
seen such desperate slogsins. The men
came up gsmely for the third round, aud
were hardly at the scratch before they
went at 1t again, giving and receiving ire
mendOus blows on the nose, mouth, ears
and chest. They were supported to their
corners when this had lasted three min
utes. When q few minutes for rest were
gone and time was called for the fourth
round, they faced each other determinedly,
but both were weak, and neither seemed
to have any advantage in the give and
take that followed. They mustered their
spirits and drove their fists with what
force they had left against gashed and
swollen faces and bleeding bodies. They
came up again at the call for the fifth
round. but we're so dis1igured and ex-
hausted that the referee stepped into the
enter Of the ring and ordered the fight
stopped.
