preseI ce Of large number Of spectators,
including many Eastern sporting men.
The Sheriff and the two Town Marshals
wers told that twas to be boxing match,
not fight, and, sitter some psrleylng,
permission was given 10 proceed.
Ihe contest began al 6.68 q. m. and
continued for nxty-six rounds, lasting
four hours and forty-three minutes.
Tten Referee Mcdonald declared tho
Eight draw. The Sheriff stopped the
light for two minutes In the twenty sixth
round, bis suspiclons having been aroused
Ne 10 the nature OF tho "boxing ma'oh,"
and At the commencement OF the twenty
eighth rouEd one Of the Town Marshals
came In and said IL was "a nxht and must
be stoppe'." This caused delay Of 20
minutes. There was no more interference
from the officials, and there was not much
cause Tor It, either, since 1t was q very
tame exhibition.
Not that the men did not try, for they
did; but they proved 80 evenly matched,
and there was so much money at stake In
wAgers, that the hackers Of each pugiiist
contioually advised caution, hoping that
the other man would weary OF the slow
work and try to force matters and thus
be placed at = ftsdvantago. Neither
lost his patience, however, and round
after round was counted off without
damage TO either man. McAuliffe did
the most leading, but Myers usually got
in counter blow. Tho betting was even
after the ninth round.
In the fourteenth round McAuliffe
rushed Myers, lsDdIng with h's left on the
nose, and receiving two singing blows
on his faco aud neck. In rushing

hyers on top. McAulifIo then com.
meneed forcing matters and rushed,
closing the round.
In the eighteenth round Myers' right
eye showed signs OF closing; otherwise
both mon were In good condition.
The mon seemed little tho worse 70

After the fortieth round Parson Davies,
who had about $4,000 Eastern money
placed on McAulIffe, wired to his brother
at Chicago as follows: "The fight is
about su even thing. Posslbly Myers has
shade the best OF IT.
In the forty.second round McAuliffe
began figh ing for Myers stomach. In
the forty-siIth round McAulIffe led, miss
ed, and received heavy counter with
Myers right on the Jaw.
Tho flttleth round was concluded at
1880. Each man seemed equal to fight
ing almost any number Of rounds similar
to tn sc that had preceded.

There WAS blow in the ifty sixth and

Though the queet ol Of selling the

rite action has been TAX, and the time Ia
quite indefinite wnen such action will be
taken. The general idea, however, pre-
waits that the church must move prob
ably not before two or thres years, and
probably not farther oil than elk years.
he precise direction IL will take when 1t
move, is in an incipient state OF thought,
but that Ii will follow tue course of popu-
lation cannot be doubted.
Several good reasons for removing |
have been advanced by prominent mem- |
ber 10 q representative OF tic RgPUBLI- |
GAN. One, aud TIL > main one, Ia that the |
centre of population Is going away from |
the church. ey year, more of the |
dwellings, Ia tie central parts OF tho city |
are turned into business estab i.hments |
AID those who lived In them are acquir- |
ing new homes in The more desirable aud |
centre of the city Is decreasing and in-
creasing farther CUT.
The ci y has grown so larse now that
1t Is more conveuient for the few who st,l |
live 10 the centre TO go to the suburbs To

farther out to come iuto the centre OF the

The gentleman referred to thought that
there should be churches I'm tho central
Portions of the city, IN fact no portion
should bs without them. but so far as the
Pr sbyterian denomination WIS concero-
ed, Hanover aud Central Churches ing
IN the same street and only little over
a square apart are too near each other.
Neliher of then are increasing in MEM
ber, hip while those farther out catch the
advantage OF new and increasing popula-
tiop. West aud Rodney etseet churches
were cited as illustrating the greater
Of churches following the
conrse OF population.
fhe same geLt EN- al thought the Gen.
t' al much the newer OF the two Pre-.
byterian churches on King street, would
DO Il llte Sufficient t. accommodate all
tue Presbyterians res'ding In the central
p It of tho city and be more prosp .rous
tasn it now is, while Hanover-w hlIe she
VIII be compelled TO rebuild ia a few
be more prosper us If re-
moved far her orth or weGt.
The same causcs which impellcd the
removal Of ThHity Church from Filth
an King TO Delaware avenue aud Adams
street, and will soou remove the Second
Baptist Churcn from Fourth and French
streets to Ninth apd VanBuren, Will oper- /
ate to push Hanover IRON It's present
location to some point farther out.
The mass OF the population now rent
Or buy houses several squar out from
The centre Of te city, and in'tead of
the q masses TO the ce7 tire of the

10 the ma se'. The REPUBLICAN In
Tormant also instanced the First Presby-
erisn Church at Tenth and Market as
being In about the same boat as the
Hanover. That section OF the city is
gradually becoming converted into bust
