sent him to grass. Without waiting
for his ten seconds to expire before he
attempted to get up, Mcdonald slow

manner turned his back upon his
opponent. Mccoy who was wait
il.g for his opportunity. caught Nc
Donald by the shoulder and turned
him partly around. While in this
position he dealt him q tremendous
blow just under the left eye. Every
one expected to see Mcdonald fail
and the fight end right there, but the
blow seemed only to wake up the
young Hercules. He kept Mccoy
busy for awhile guarding his own
headlights, when McC"y got in an

again sent him to grass. As he arose

party. The referee refused to allow

FIFTH ROUND.
This was q burner. Mccoy was

badly punished in the previous
round, was as firm on his pins as tie

Mccoy here resorted to tactics which
he afterwards successfully employed.

EIGHTH ROUND.
The round opened with cautious
movements by both, each sparring
for an opening. Mccoy resnrted to
his old tactics, retreatlng for Me-
Donald to follow him, but it didn't
work this time. The Butte boy had
got on the racket and as Mccoy ,
he received one from McD"n-
aid on the chin that made his teeth
rattle. It was now observed that
Mcdonald delivered most of his
blows with his left. This fact was
explained by Mcdonald,
having badly injured his right on
