THE MANLY ART.
Pat killen Puts Forth His skill to the Dis
comfture Of Corporal TJomey,
The Killen combination showed to
large house o. admirers OF the manly
art at the Rink last night and gave
much satisfaction TO the spectators.
The entertainment opened with a
bout between two kiJs, who, though
devoid Of science, afforded much
amusement by their eur 4 est endeavors
to do the right thing. They were fol-
lowed by Killen and Pro. Anderson,
Of Chicago, who, in three round en-
gagement, gave as pretty an exhibi-
! ton OF science as was ever seen here.
Though not attempting any sluggiRg
( they showed all the points of attack
and defense in a nannsr that sts mped
them as thorough exponents Of the
art. Every exchange called forth ap-
plause, and when they finally retired
IL was evident that thorough sstIsfac-
tion had been given. Two more con-
tests With youngsters filled in the
time until the event Of the evening,
from local point Of view, was an-
nounced. This was a bout between
Pat Killen, and Corporal Toomey, Of
Fort Keogh, in which the latter was
to make the attempt to stand before
Killen four three minute rounds, sue
ceeding in which, be was to receive
purse Of 500, which the Killen COM
bination offer In every town they
visit. Previous 10 the match, Mana
ger Goodlng appeared on the stage
and requested that an impartial UNI
pire be chosen from the audience,
For this position Ed Jones was Sc
lected, and following this Louis King
was chosen as time keeper Manager
Gooding then explained the rules as
regards the prohibiting of dropping
without blow, hugging and butting,
and these preliminaries being under
stood, the men appeared in ring cos.
tune. Aside from the superior skill
and science OF Killen il was evident
that he had the advantage Of Toomey
IN reach and height, If not in weight.
Toomey is Of the stocky order, but
though overfleshed, presented a very
good appearance. The first round was
mainly devoted to light exchanges,
Toomey evidently being handicapped
by nervous dread of his antagonist,
while Killen doubtless felt that be
had the match well in hand and could
win at any time. In fact IL was evi-
dent to the spectators that he let sew
ersl chances go by whore he could
have landed a crushing knock out
blow. Toward the end Of the first
round Toomey somewhat regained
his confidence aud made play against
Killeu, resulting ia some good ex-
changes. In one OF these Pat landed
swimming right handler on the Cor
poraps cheek, cutting IL severely.
shortly after this time was called, and
from the fact that water was in de-
mand on T11mey's side OF the stage IL
was evident that he had received pun-
lshment. On the call OF time for the
second round Toomey showed up
with bad face, the result Of the ap-
psrently harmless right-hander re-
ceiyed In the previous round. The
fighting in the second round was more
rapid than IN the first, Killen crowd
ing his man closely aud Toomey using
his best endeavors to keep In open
ground and away from the ropes.
About one minute of this kind of work
had passed when a rattling exchange
took place in Toomey's corner, result
ing 10 his leaving himself open for a
thump 90 the neck, AN opportunity
which Killen instantly took advan-
tage OF with half arm blow, which,
though appareDtlya mere tap, sent
Toomey out ofsIght behind the scenes
