Excitement over the event ran high
and large delegations of sporting men
from Omaha, Chicago, Duluth, Madi-
sou, Ashland aud other northwestern
points were present. 1t was claimed
by Cardiif's friends that be was never
in better condition for fight aud that
this match was to be no draw. Kill
lens friends made equally emphatic
statements. The men entered the
ring at 9:2j o'clock, there being no
prellmlnaries. Cardiff weighed l73
pounds and Klllen 1870. Prof. John
Donaldson and Joe LannOn seconded
Carifl, while Pat MeCarten and John
Clark were behind Killen. Joe Mau-
nix of Minneapolis, had been chosen
releree during the afternoon. Time
was called at 9:37. IL was short but
plucky tight. As the men advanced
to shake hands they showed splendid
muscular development ss the result Of
their late training. Cardiff led and
pushed the fighting until near the end
OF the fourth round, when a lucky
blow from killen's right hand Land
him on the ground partly dazed. He
tried TO rise but could not within the
required ten seconds and the fight was
declared for Killen. The fight lasted
few seconds less that fifteen minutes.
In the first round both men exhibited
caution in opening, but Cardiff quickly
pushed the fighting and landed sew
eral heavy blows with his lett, forcing
Killen to the ropes. Later Klllen did
some fighting and the round ended
with no advantage TO either side. In
the second round Cardiff again opened
and landed Oh his opponents chin,
following up the blow with series of
rushes, at one time sending Killen
against the post with terrible force.
KiIlen was mainly on the defensive.
Both men started out vigorously in the
third aud killen got in the first ettec-
tive blow, landing with his right on
Cardiil's face. After a little time
wasted in sparriug Cardiff forced
Killen round the ring, landing several
times on his face aud chest with his
terrible left. The fourth round opened
with a full minute of sparring for

used up with the fighting in the third
round. Cardiff finally led, striking

this ecclesiastic are declined.
From the condemned's cell he is

a stool, he listens to the prayers re-
cited aloud by the priest, while one
of the aides cuts the hair from the

rounded by the military and the po-
lice, greets his eye. Arrived at the

push him against the swinging plank;

"HE RAN AWAY.

EDITOR BULLETIN: = The long ex-
pected visit of the President of the
Board of Health has been made to
us, at the Leper Settlement, and
here is short account for the bene-
fit of the outside world. The Pre-
sident DIR. Emerson landed at Kalau-
papa on Thursday, Dec. 20, at 4 p.
NJ. and Immediately proceeded to
Kalawao, slowing himself in the
physicians house there.
The next morning, Friday, the hos
pital yard was visited by the President
and there standing on the verandah
of one of the houses he was address,
ed by various lepers on their griev-
ances. From the Hospital yard the
President rode on horseback through
the street of Kalawao, from thence
to Kalaupapa; escaping up the Pail
at noon on Friday, Dec. 30, thereby
spending only a few hours in the
Settlement.
No doubt the President is satisfied
with his ''lengthy?" visit, but we,
the afflicted ones, are not, and have
yet to be persuaded that the Presi-
dent is not the holder of an office,
which may be well called President
of the Board of "Humbug." Your

II IL lG
RATHER HIGH.

The Board of Education, at its
meeting on Thursday, adopted a
resolution to the effect that all Gov
ernment teachers employed in Homo
lulu, who have been examined, and
who shall again fail to obtain 75 per
cent at the examination to be held
six months hence, shall cease to hold
their appointments under the Board.
This may have the effect of melting
those teachers who wish to remain in
the employ of the Government, to
special efforts of preparation. But
we cannot help thinking that the
Board is moving little too fast in
this matter, and has placed the
qualification rather too high at so
early stage of the "new depart
ure," which was inaugurated only a
few months ago. There may be as
great danger of injury to educa-
tional interests by placing the stand
ard too high all of sudden as by
lack of effort to raise it above the
old level. A successful teacher Of
youth might easily fail, under ner-
vous tension, to score the necessary
Is percent at an examination, while
another inferior in knowledge and
teaching ability, but with more self
reliance, scores above it. The pro-
per test of q teachers qualification
is his or her work in the schoolroom.
