the Legislature.
CARSON, Feb. THE glove fight last
night between Charles Edwards, the COL
ored pugilist Of Carson, and J.. Elliot, Of
San Francisco, resulted in q victory for
Elliot in the fifth round. The fight took
place 10 a twenty-four-foot ring staked of
on the stage. Edwards weight was l31
pounds, and Elliot's 1856 pounds. The
white man seemed to be in better fighting
trim. Six-ounce gloves were used. A.
$3.50 time was called. When the men ad-
vanced to the front they began sparring
without tie preliminary hand shake.
Round one-The opening round was bar
rem Of results, both men spared around
the ring. Elliot made two feints on his
opponents chin, but not q blow was struck
by either man.
Round two-This round looked more
like business. Both men skipped to the
center in q lively fashion. Elliot's tactics
began to develop, and he got in q couple of
feeble blows. This aroused Edwards, who
retaliated with o severe hit on Elllot's
mouth. In q second a punch in the ribs
sent the colored man down on q marrow
bone. A lively rattle, in which neither
man seemed to have any advantage, closed
the round.
Round three-This was the only round
in which the colored man fought nobly.
He closed in gamely on Elliot, and got in
three pretty good Founders on the ~latter's
face and head. Meanwhile Elliot was
skillfully tapping Edwards wind, by the
ad administration of vigorous body blows.
Round four-The colored man weakened
very rapidly In this encounter. He fought
gamely, however, driving his opponent up
to the ropes and forcing the battle. FL
liot smiled as Edwards closed in on him.
A rapid exchange OF blows left Edwards in
q very groggy condition. The two clinched
twice, but were speedily separated by the
referee. Elliot now assumed the sggres-
sive in earnest, and forced his man up
against the back wall Of the stage and pun
called Edwards had to be assisted to his
corner.
Round five-While Edwards still showed
that he was game he struck out wildly, and
Elliot speedily used him up. A very
slight tap apparently stretched the colored
man on his back. He rose on one knee,
looked around dazed and finally had to be
assisted to his feet, and failing to come to
time, the fight was awardad to Elliot.
The battle lasted exactly 10 minutes. 1t
was bloodless. and for the most part a very
tame affair. Elliot retired from the ring
as fresh as when he entered.
