LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Marquis of oueensberry.

At Armory Hall, Saturday evening, about
500 spectators assembled to witness the
fight between Jack Dempsey, champion
lightweight Of the United States, and Tom
Norton, Of this city. Dempsey is about
feet u inches in hight, looks like ANYTHING
but a formidable man until he gets warmed
up, and weighs, in fighting trim. 40
pounds 1t is claimed for him that he has
never lost q fight and those who saw him
saturday evening will be surprised if thew
ever hear that he has been beaten bvaman
OF hrs size. Norton is a heavier man. and
appeared IN the ring a fine specimen of
muscular formation. The men fought for
the receipts of the house, the winner to
take 10 per cent, and the loser 40 per cent.
1t was nearly II o'clock before the men en-
tered the ring, but they then quickly set
tied the prehminaries, and after officers
Sullivan and Farrell had examined the
gloves and found them to be sufficiently
soft and harmless, " business " commenced.
Dempsey remained inactive for a few sec
onds, and Norton, becoming impatient be-
gan forcing the lighting, which was not the
best policy 10 pursue if he desired to last
out the six rounds, Marquis of Queensberrv,
agreed upon. Dempsey simply acted upon
the defensive for the first two minutes.
though Norton reached him more than
once; he then, having gauged his man,
commenced to fight, and showed that he
mad great reach, was exceedingly clever
with his left and hit very hard. When
time was called, both men went to their
corners smiling. Dempsey got the best of
the second round, working very coollv.
while his opponent got excited, and at the
end OF the round was getting short of wind
In the third round Dempsey showed great
superiority as a fighter and boxer, selecting !
his place 10 hit, and landing his blows al
most at Will. After a good hit he would
get away, and watch Norton with a quiz
zical smile, as much as to say How are
you getting along with that" His favorte
mark appeared to be the right side of Nor
tons head and face, and upon them he de
liyered several jarring blows Norton soon
exhibited bad right eve, with blood flow
ing from cut in the corner. He got dis
tresscd rapidly, and clinched frequently, |
but the men broke away promptly at the
command of the referee Toward the end
OF the round Norton was weak and stagger-
ing, and evidently anxious for the call Of
" time The fight was virtually over At
the beginning of the fourth round Norton
fought desperately, pluckiiy taking punish
ment IN the hope of giving Dempsey set |
tier. The latter was confident, and appar-
emily as fresh as At the end Of the first
round. In getting away from Norton, he
tell against and partly through the ropes,
and Norton fell upon him, and being given
q toss went through and down upon the
floor. Before he reascended the stage. Off
GERS Kent and Farrell went upon il, and or
dered the fight to cease. The referee then
decided the match over, and that Dempsey,
having had the best of it, had won. After
the match Dempsey spoke highly of Nor
tons ability, saying in effect that he was
the best man he had met on the coast
