In the 135 pound class the smuggling was
shown. There were two sluggers in it,
w. Monahan. of the Wayne A. G., and Il.
Reilly, of the Lorillard A. q. The former
Is tall and the latter short. Both are ex.
tremely awkward and their movements
were ~laughable. They were earnest and
plucky.

Tit judges disagreed. aud the referee or
dered an extra round. The two men
fought against the ropes constantly. and
the referee saved them both from
falling from the stage. Reilly
could have knocked Duff out
had he had strength enough. The
judges gave the battle to Reilly. The
Iinal, between Reilly and Monahan, was
severe but funny. Reilly fought in cy-
clonic style, while Monahan staggered
the little fellow every time he landed. 1t
was almost an even battle, but the judges
concluded that Monahan had shown The
better judgment and gave him the prize.
In the l5S pound class a splendid fight
was seen. The rival were H.. Entwistle,
