he knows nothing about the yacht. he
thought that 1t did not signify any
thing, as the affair could hardly BE
called race in his opinion. Moreover.

the line first showed that she was any
thing but a slow boat.
| asked him whether he thought the
matching OF the Volunteer against the
Nalkyric would be fair craftsmanship
lie replied that he had not thought of
the matter, aud did not care to be
quoted.
And now. right on top Of all the talk.
comes a rumor that the Royal. Clyde
Yacht Club. not having had copy Of
the resolutions passed by the New York
Club in lsss. will plead ignorance OF
the conditions under which their chal
lcpge was sent. and try TO get out OF
the race on that score. Very few
vachtsmen. however. give any at;en-
ton TO the rumor, believing that the
Englishmen will stand by their colors
under any and all circumstances.
One of the most savage fights it has
ever been my fortune TO witness was
decided over or Staten Island the other
night. 1t was for $500 a side and the
championship Of America, aud was be
tween Chappie Moran and Frank Dono-
van. They are considered The 100
pound champions, and they were
anxious to know which of the two
was the real champion.
Moran Is twenty years old, and has
only had the gloves on two years. Ills
irst boxing was done in 1886. when he
won the amateur bantam weight cham
pionship. Then he went TO England
" here he fought and whipped Tom
Fisher. Tom ailey and Fred Brown.
This is his first kin-glove fight i'll this
country.
Donovan is seventeen years old. and
has whipped Joe CLASSY and Jack Din
nan. lie began his career as a boxorln
1887.
The men were in elegant condition
when they faced each other In hall at
lOo'clock and began the fight. After
La few seconds sparring Moran led aud
landed on Donovan 5 neck with his
left. Donovan countered very prettily.
but Moran cross counteTed and landed
with terrific force on his opponent S
left eve. The blow was what Is known
I'M sporting circles rs smasher. and
the eve swelled up like flash. Moran
rushed his man. and received a remcm-
brance in the shape of a heavy counter
On the neck. A little in-bghting fol-
lowed. and when time was called they
were both well warmed up for rat
ling good mill. Donovan eye was
almost closed aud his seconds amused
themselves in trying TO force 1t open
far enough for their man to see where
he was going TO hit when ne led out for
ms man.
la the second round The fighting was
very much like thai in the first. Moran
doing the greater part of toe leading.
and landing on Donovan stomach
with good force. and visiting the dam
aged eve lust once with a swinging
right handler. lu the third round Dono-
van let out for Moran in a style that
was refreshing. 10 say the least. and
caught him on the hose. and second
later claimed first blood. which was al
lowed. Moran continued to do all the
/ Leading. however. and the betting was
Sl00tO SO i'm his favor. The only blow
struck I'M the fourth round was atefrOr,
and came very near to uuhlnging Don
0vau jaw.
When he went up for the fifth round
| Moran remarked casually that he was
going TO blind his man and then take
/ his time in whipping HIM. Donovan
heard the remarks. which. under the
/ circumstances might be considered OF "A
/ personal nature. and when Moran made
n play for him he swung his rusty
right and drove a crasher INTO Moran S
ar that was stunning IN It's elect, ana
MOAN went spinning towards the ropes
. like a top without a peg. lie recovered
himself and when Donovan. who hid
/ followed him up. was getting ready Tor
another smash at him. Moran sent IN a
crnsher that came near driving Dono'
vans stomach out of bis back.
Thus IL went. Smash. smash. crash
and rush all over the ling and into the
ROPES. Finally. when the fourteenth
round WAS on the carpet 1t was easily
seen that IL was 10 Oe the last. that II
was going against Donovan. The men
came MP. Moran apparently strong and
Dorovan rather weak in the knees.
/ Moran rushed him To the ropes ard
struck him two knock blows, and
he went into the ropes with a crash
lie recovered himself partially. and
inst es he was fairly of the ground
Moran let out for the fiuishcr and
dOwned him.
Five seconds over the usual time
were allowed him. but he could no, gel
out into the middle, aud the fight wa'
given to Morgan.
