men sparring for wind.
The thirty-second round, after hot ex-
changes, ended in favor of Manning.
The thirty-third round was decidedly
Manning's, for he rushed his man all
round the ring, and in the next he got
two hot ones in on his neck.
In the thirty-fourth round Manning
continued his attentions to Mulholland's
wind and got there. Manning said to
Mulholland: "Why don't you fight
quick ?"
In the thirty-second round little was
done to affect the result, both men going
| slow. At the end of the thirty-sixth
round Manning's left optic retired under
protest.
In the thirty-sixth Manning had de-
cidedly the worst of it in the finish.
In the thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth
rounds Manning picked up and did some
good work with his "terrible left"
The thirty-ninth round ended in Man
ning's favor.
In the fortieth round Manning did
some more hard work and got in on the
Austr alian's neck, wind, mouth and
stomach, receiving heavy facer, how
ever, in return.
The forty-frst round was a disastrous
one for poor Billy. Mulholland gave
him several hard ones ON the sore check,
and although Manning got in one or two
good blows in the brsad-basket, when
time was called the round was in favor
of Mulholland.
Manning started the fighting on the
forty-second round, and got his opponent
in the wind with thud that could be
heard all over the hall. The Australian
came back, however, in fine style, giving
Billy five hot blows on the sore spot that
must have made it ache tremendously.
At the close of the round Manning was
looking in pretty bad shape and was
bleeding freely, while Mulholland ap-
peared as fresh as ever.
Billy got another big dose in the next
round. 1t opened with some quick
fighting, and then Mulholland COM
menced his jabbing again and gave Billy
no less than six severe punches on the
left of his head. Manning got in a
couple of more winders, but retired at
call of time with the odds very much
against him. Directly he reached his
chair his seconds started to suck out his
bad eye aud relieved him somewhat.
Manning opened the forty-fourth round
by ducking and butting Mulholland,
who failed to return though he had a
great opportunity. A second or two
later the Australian slipped and fell, but
got up in time to give Manning another
on the left cheek before the voice of the
watch-keeper was heard.
The forty-ffth round was ushered in
by some hot in.fghting, and Manning
hit his opponent bad one on the left
optic, starting the blood. He got one on
the left cheek in return, but retired with
the odds of the round slightly in his
favor.
The forty-sixth round was Mulhol-
lands, and he gave Billy a couple on
the left cheek and mouth, after which
sparring was INDUCED in till the call of
time.
Manning made another squirt when
the forty seventh round opened, and got
at Mulholland's chops, but the Austria
liam countered and gave it to Billy heav-
lily in the old sore place. SparriDg, and
then "Time" was called.
The forty-eighth round was the wind
up. Manning started in on the agrees
sive, and hit Mulholland slightly in the
ribs, and the visitor got back heavily.
He hit Billy on the lett cheek, then on
the mouth, on the cheek again, and then
down went Billy, virtually knocked out.
He struggled to his feet in five seconds,
but got it again in the face and
dropped to all appearance lifeless, roll
ing on his back and throwing out his
arms. The ten seconds passed by and
still he failed to stir, 30 the fight was
awarded to Mulholland, who was car
ried from the ring by bevy of his ad-
mirers.
AFTER THE FIGHT.
1t was more than minute before Man
ming recovered consciousness, and then
he complained of his teit wrist and said
it was broken. No fracture was percepti-
BILE, however, though it was evidently
badly hurt. Billy was in bad shape as
he was carried to the dressing room. His
left eye was closed altogether, his cheek
and lips were swollen and he
bore the evidences of having fought
one OF the gamest battles on record. He
bore his punishment like a man, and ap-
peared to be more troubled about being
beaten than about his punishment.
Mulholland looked almost as fresh as
when the fight started in, for with the
exception of cut over the left eye and
some body bruises, he escaped unin-
jured.
An incident of the fight was the throw
ing out, by Louis, the doorkeeper, of an
individual who had been particularly
insulting to him all evening. Louis
stood all he could, but when he was
sworn at, he seized the intruder by the
throat and fred him ignominiously down.
stairs.
