In the third round Barke forced the
fighting and drove Cleary into a corner,
where they cliuched. After breaking
both became more cautious, and the
round closed by Clesry landing bis
right with considerable force on Burke's
ear.
The fourth, fifth and sixth rounds
we're light work, both men evidently
sparring for wind. In the seventh
there was considerable heavy hitting.
during which Burke succeeded in get

when he proceeded TO utilize his ad-
vantage, Cleary's second jumped into
the ring and claimed foul, which, bow
ever, the referee disaIlowsd.
The eighth rousd WAS begun by forced
fighting on the part of Barke, who
drove Cleary against the ropes, where
another ohneh took place, and some
heavy blows were exchanged before
they were separated. Cleary quickly
resumed work by catching Barke ter
rife blow with his right over the left
eye, cutting a deep cash, from which
the "elaret" flowed freely. This was
the first aud only blood.
This round completed the stipulated
number IN WHOM the fight was to be
decided. The referee. refused to decide
the match and ordered another round
fought. The announcement was re-
oeivsd with deafening shouts by tue ex-
cited spectators. Tn the call of
time for this round both men
spranR lightly to their feet and
went in for some heavy work with
an evident determination to make this
the decisive round. A elinoh and break,
coupled with much heavy work at quar-
ters, used mp the allotted three minutes.
q When tune was called, the audience
voiced their desire to see the fight come
to definite ending by the most violent
and urgent cries Of "Gs on, go on" At
this point the police refused to let the
n stch continue, and we're loudly jsered
by she vast crowd, who saw 10 apparent
reason for police interference. Both
men were eager, and perfectly capable
Of continuing the fight without the slight
est difficulty. Neither was much wind
ed. nor did they suffer any from
the effect of the punishment they had
received. Nothing was left to DO but
for the referee to declare it a draw,
much to the disgust of all pres
eRt, as well as of himself. The
general opinion was divided as
10 the respective merits of the men, but
Burke was admitted to be the prettier
sparrer of the two, while Cleary's forte
lay 10 his heavy rignt-handers.
