THREE HUNDRED AHEAD OF ALL.

It will be seeen from the above that
the circulation of the APPEAL is $50
greater each week than the combined
circulation of all Colored papers. III
giving the circulations OF our contempor-
aries we have endeavored to be fair
The circulation of the Conservator is
taken from the American Newspaper
Directory for 1883 and also vouched for
by gentleman formerly connected with
the paper. In every case the circulation
given has been proved by some person
connected With the paper named. We
believe the figures are true, but if not
we will cheerfully correct them pro-
yided the publisher will make affidavit
to the fact
THE PEOPLE LOVE IT.
The figures attest better than words
the esteem in which the APPEAL is held
by the people Of Chicago, as a NEWS
TAPER.
The figures show that the average
regular bona fide subscription circula-
ton of the Chicago edition of the APPEAL
exceeds FIFTEEN HUNDRED
copies each week. This is exclusive
of the st. Paul and Minneapolis

of them in these figures. The APPEAL

cause it is the peoples paper, fair in its
dealings with everybody. 1t is not

The circulation of the APPEAL is among
Colored people who have subscribed for
and pay for the paper.

OF Ten Rounds.

OF Ten Rounds.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-FuIly $4,000
spectators, among whom was a solitary
lady, thronged Pavonia rink tonight to
witness the ten round glove contest, Mar
quls Of Queensbury rules, between Jack
Dempsey, of New York, and Dominick
McCaHrey, Of Philadelphia. Tho contest
was given under the auspices of the War
rem Athletic association. An elevated
stage, 26 feet square, had been erected in
the center Of the floor. At II 80 Dempsey
and Mccartney entered the ring, the early
part of the evening having Ebeen monopo-
lized by lesser lights. The fight taken as
a whole was a very tame affair. There
was much dissatisfaction over the selec-
ton Of Referee Dunn, he being consid-
cred a friend Of Dempsey. The crowd
called repeatedly for Harry Hill, Charley
Johnson and several others. Dempsey
weighed 1853 pounds and McCaffrey 1853.
In the first round McCaffrey cut Demp-
sey on the forehead. In the second round
Dempsey struck McCaffrey in the right
eye. Dempsey was aggressive in the first
part Of the battle, trying TO settle his
opponent in short order. In the
last few rounds he acted on
b sdefensiye, but McCaffrey had 70 fol
low him all over the ring, several times
begging him to stand up and fight. Nc
Caffrey tried his best to knock Dempsey
out, but the nonpariel always ~cleverly
avoided punishment. Several times Nc
Caffrey tried to swing his right but Demp-
sey cleverly lodged. In the third round
Dempsey struck McC8frey in the right
eye. Inahe fourth round he caught Nc
CaifreY on the right cheek. raising an
ugly mark. Ia the fifth round Dempsey
struck McCaffrey on the nose, but' did
aot draw blood. In the sixth round Nc
Caffrey tried to put Dempsey over
the ropes. but the latter
got away. The seventh round was in
Dempsey's favor, he doing all the leading
and planting blows on McCaffrey's ribs
and shoulders. In the closing round
there were four blows, al given by Demp-
sey. Referee Dunn decided Dempsey the
winner. Three ounce gloyes,were worn.
Dempsey at the end Of the exhibition APP
peared very fresh and said he was able to
90 on ten more rounds. McCaffrey took
his defeat very sorely. He was also in
good condition with the exception of his
bruised eye and forehead. There were
nearly 100 police present during the con-
test, but there was no interference. There
was no protest by the spectators against
the decision. The contest lasted forty
ave minutes.
