 Chicago. Dec. 2S.-Probably the most exciting glove contest ever wit messed in Chicago occurred here to- night, in which Jack Burke, of Chica- go, in three rounds. knocked out Mike Cleary. of New York. As early as : 80 o'clock tonight the atmosphere oi the battery, exhaled by fully four thousand pairs of lungs, reeked with cigar smoke; and the mob not sply packed the building but ran over into the street. It was nearly ten o'clock when the lions of the evening made their appearance, and the crowd proceeded to cheer itself hosrse. Prof Tom Chand- Ter, of Boston, and Capt. Dalton of Chicago, seconded Clesry; while Tom Chandler of Chicago, and Jack FlOtO performed the same service for Burke. Both men were in prime condition, Burke tipping the scales at l65 and Cleary at about the same The men spared an instant for an opening and a moment later Cleary went to grass from terrific back-Eander from Burke's left, which struck him square Tn the eye and brought blood. The round Sas finished with some ineffec- tual attempts on CIeary's part to get in his right on Burke's face. Tie second round banned out rather iavOrably for Cleary, who got in stinging counters with bis left on Burke's cheek. Cleary tapped Burke gently twice more and the round closed with cautious sParring on both sides.

The New Yorker began to force the fighting, but Burke impetuously forced him into the corner and hit him two rattling blows on his face with the left then parrying Clesry's right with his own right glove he struck the New Yorker heavily on the neck, Cleary staggered and seemed dazed for a mo ment. then recovered himself with an effort. aud forced Burke desperately to the opposite side of the ring. Cleary was breathing heavily and shook slightly with suppressed excite ment, while Burke, perfectly cool and collected, watched calmly fos his chance, It came. Duck as fash his right hand shot out and Clesry fell like log. The blow caught him fairly just under and behind the left ear, and knocked him ssnseless. My God!

The victor, his f.ee exhibiting genuine alarm stopped over CleAry and shook him gently. A little later G.esrys PrOstrats iSim showed signs of life, and the cr2Zd rose with wild cries Ot eBE<C.
