BERGEN POINT TENNIS JOURNEYS.
The Club Cup Captured Again by
Schuyler News of Amateur Ball
Tossers and Gossip of the Clubs.

The benefit rendered Bill Hook, the
British pugilist, by members of the Scot
tish-American Club at its quarters on
Grove street last evening was an immense
success. The plucky foreigner has many
admirers among the Jersey City sports
and his exhibition last night in a three
round bout with Jimmy Larkins, the
champion 122 pound light weight OF
America, made every man in the audience
his friend.
A good natured audience occupied
every available foot of room in the large
hall. The entertainment opened with a
three-round bout between Ca MCCARTHY,
the champion 114pound pugillst OF
America, aud Morris Boland, of the Scots.
Cal is the pride and pet of the Jersey
City sports. They watched closely his
every m~anoeuyre, and were rewarded with
a graceful exhibition of scientific spar,
ring, Calls opponent also did good
work.
ssChappie'' Moran, the champion los
pound bantam, and Pete Sherry of the
Scots next faced each other and did some
clever work.
Then r. Alexander and Patsey Logan
did some heavy smuggling, and Johnnie
Carey and George Saunders pounded one
another's chest and sides in a terriflc
manner, but merely brushed flies from
each others noses. Saunders body was
a beautiful rose color at the end OF the
third round.
A ripple of laughter greeted Jesse n
Marcellus BellevilIe, the Scots two little
~pickaninny mascots, as they crawled I'm.
der the ropes grining at the prospect OF
a set-to in the presence of so many specta-
tors. They had q good one.
Pete Cahil and e. Closterman next
followed in a clever sparring exhibition,

When Bill Hook, the beneficiary, and
Jimmy Larkins appeared inside the ring
there was tremendous cheering. Hook
made a speech, in which he thanked the
for their assistance, and did not forget 70
mention the kind treatment he received
at the hospital, where he has been con-
fined for several weeks.
Then he faced his old antagonist, who
knocked him out several weeks ago-the
cool, muscular and sclentlnc two-nano
slugger, Jimmy Larkins. Hook is beautl-
fully put together, but he is not trained
down. On the whole, he made a very
ereditable showing last evening, and the
battle was exceedingly lively when time
was called at the end of the third round.
This closed the entertainment, which
was decidedly one of the best given by the
Scots in a long while. j. Crowley was
master of ceremonies, and Secretary Dan
Donnelly was timekeeper. Hook will re-
ceive about $500 as the net receipts of the
benefit. He leaves for England some time
this week.
