to avoid several powerful blows which were
aimed at his head.
Seventh Round-The men retained the ut
most good humor, and would smile every time
an advantage was gained by either. In this
round McAulife got one swinging blow on
Jackson's chin, which the latter returned.
Very little was done during the round.
Eighth Round-The previous light round had
rested the men somewhat. and they opened
up the eighth round lively. Jackson caught
McAuliffe in the head twice, and was APP
parently directing his blows to that spot.
jackson continued to force his adversary
around the ring and had by far the best of the
round.
Ninth Round-There was no reason to be-
lieve at this point that the fight would come to
q close very soon. No particular damage had
been done by either. though Jackson had the
best of the fight far. He continued to drive
his right into McAuliffe's head, but the blows
were light.
Tenth Round-Jackson forced the fighting
and pounded McAuliffe several times in the
face. The latter returned the blowsand caught
Jackson on the neck, which caused the colored
man to slip to the floor.
Eleventh Round-McAuliffe's eyes were be-
ginning to puff up slightly, and his ear was still
bleeding. Jackson appeared none the worse.
He continued 10 pound McAulife ia the ribs,
but the latter did not seem to be much annoyed
by it. Two hard blows in the face were inter-
changed, and the round ended.
IOunQ-DOln IHen tNlue0llN were
getting a little tired and hardly pass was
made by either throughout the round.
Thirteenth Round-This was a repetition of
the twelfth. Nothing was done by either.
Fourteenth Round-JaeksOn caught Me-
Auliffe lightly on the chin and again IN the
throat, the latter knocking him against the
ropes McAuliffe looked for an opening, but
the scientific Australian did not seem inclined
TO give him one.
Fifteenth Round-Jackson forced the fight
ing and pound McAulifie on the ribs and give
him one hard one on the nose, which he fol-
lowed up with several others. Jackson APP
peared TO think he had the Californian whipped,
and continued to force him around the ring
Sixteenth Round-Jackson opened the round
with two riSht-handers on MeAulffes nose,
which he followed up well. McAulife led out
savagely several times, but Jackson jumped
aside quickly and escaped the blows
Seventeenth nd-McAuliffe caught Jack
son lightly on the jaw, but the latter returned
it well. and rained half dozen hard ones on
McAuliffe's head, which seemed to daze THE
latter little.
Eighteenth Round-Jackson gave McAuliffe
a terrible blow in the ribs, which sent him
lightly to the floor. When he rose Jackson
forced him into the corner and pounded him
on the head numerically. 1t looked as if Nc
Aulihe would have to go down, but he managed
10 stand up under the blows until the call of
time saved him from the fall.
Nineteenth Round-Jackson pursued the
same rushing tactics, aud tried to get his adj
versary IN the corner again. He succeeded in
getting him against the ropes where he again
ralned blows on his head, but failed to get him
knocked down. McAulife did very little but
make an attempt to defend himself.
Twentieth Round-Jaekson got in a dozen
terrific blows In rapid succession, and kept the
big man moving all over the ring.
Twenty-hrst Round-McAulitfe came up at
the call of time, looking considerably the
worse from the severe pounding he had re-
ceived in the few preceding rounds. Jackson
continued to force matters, but gained very
little advantage. McAuliffe led out several
times, but seemed unable to reach Jackson.
Twenty-second Round-Jackson struck Nc
Auliffe n terrible blow in the mouth, which he
followed up with three others. McAuliffe was
beginning TO stagger and was over the ropes
when time was called.
Twenty-third Standardization followed up
his advantage and evidently had McAuliffe in
a very bad way He forced him from one cor
ner to another and struck him several savage
blows in the face which caused the blood to
flow freely.
Twenty-fourth Round-Jackson rushed the
tight very hard in the twenty-fourth round and
placed several smashing blows in the Cali
fOrnian'S face. He again got him in
the corner and sent III three terrific blows, the
last of which caught McAulifie squarely in the
mouth and sent him down in a heap in the
corner. Ten seconds were counted of, but the
Californian failed to raise, and, amid great
cheering on the part of the spectators, jackson
was declared the winner. McAulifie was car
ried to his corner by his seconds and revived in
a moment.
