most clever sparring ever seen in this
vicinity.

and every inch Of space on the stage not
required by the boxers and their lander
was occupied. Over 1000 persons are said
to have been present.
The first event was q preliminary bout
in the ~115-pound class between Willie
Kenny, of the New Jersey Athletic Club,
and Amos Sachs, of the West Side Ath-
letic Club. Kenny was too much for
Sachs, and after Knocking him through
the ropes two or three times Sachs took a
nap in the second round. An upper cut
did it.
There was one bout in the 135-poundclass
and chat was between john Clark, OF the
South Sides. and p. Corballis. of the Scots.
This was one Of the most exciting events
of the evening. Corballis, in the first two
rounds. ap cared to hav the best OF 1T,
but in the third he lost his wind and Clark
sailed in lively. An extra round was
given. Clark got and earned the decision.
Corballis fell under the ropes In the sec
ond round and dropped ON the unpro-
tected footlights. He was not burned,
r. r. Van Houten, of the West ~
Athletic Club. and W.. H. Stuckey, of the
West End Club, entered the ring for the
1853 pound class, after Van Houten mad
just returned from a run to lose one
aud a half pounds to get down to weight
He won his average in the bout. Stuckey
oonn hNya1 Won HOI1fan into n p0rnQr and
gave it to him hammer and tongs. This
continued during the first round and for
about two minutes of the second; but
just when every n supposed that Van
Houten was done for he suddenly rallied
and struck Stuckey a savage blow in the
door like a log. When time was called
for the third round Stuckey took of the
mits and gave up the contest.
The excitement wa high during the
next event which was the final In the 115
pound class and was between Willie
Kenny and Jimmy Brown of the West
Sides. The boys were evenly matched
and did some clever boxing. In the first
two rounds Kenny was the aggressor but
Brown woke up in the last round and al
most whipped him, The referee decided
in favor ef Kenny as he did most of the
fighting In the first W rounds.

The W ind up in the 1853 pound class was
one of the gaIniest n most stubbornly
contested bouts ever seen at a similar eX-
hibition. 1t was between Van Houten
and Pat Cahill, of the Scots. Van Houten
was somewhat played from his go with
StuckeyR and his run. He was notin good
condition.
The men went al each other carefully,
and after a few minutes careful sparring
Cahill struck his opponent a blow which
sent him spinning against the ropes at
the other side of the ring. Everyone
thought Van Houten was done for, but
he pulled himself togeth er within the
limit and went at it again. Cahill
knocked him all around the ring. but he
managed to get back some vicious blows,
which had a visi BILE effect upon the irwin
chile Pat. -Four times did Cahill fell
him like an OK with terrific blows on the
neck, but he could not knock him out.
Finally the men clinched and would not
break. Spe tators rushed into the ring
and the police stopped the mill.
The ring was cleared and the fight went
on The men showered blows upon each
other during the next two rounds, and
the gloves began to assume a crimson
hue. Several times Van Houten wob-
bled about on his pins, and looked as
though he were going to fall, but he would
not give up. When the fight was concluded
the men were in a terrible condition. Van
Horton was the worse. The left side of

split, his body q mass of bruises, and his
face covered with blood. Cahill had two
ugly cuts on the side of his face from
which the blood flowed freely.
The fight went to Cahill, but Van
