 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 17.-The great lightweight fight between Andy Bowen of New Orleans and Jimmy Carroll of San Francisco was fought last night at the Olympic Club rooms. About 5000 people were present, and they paid an admission fee of $5 and $3 each.
 The fight was for a purse of $3,OOO- $2, 500 to winner and $500 to loser. Mir. John Duffy was chosen referee and the timers were c. J. Cousins, Billy Crit tenden and NJ. F. Fitzfadden. Bowen was seconded by Arthur Upham and Jimmy Sweeny, and Carroll by Robert Fitzaimmons and Doc OConnell. Bowen weighed l30a poun ds andI Car roll 132a.
 The ring was pitched on river sand with a thirty-foot square enclosure, within which was marked off as neat 8 twenty four-foot ring as was ever seen. A St. Andrews cross was formed at 9 o'clock, and good handshake marked the evening's performance at fistiouffs,
 Bowen crossed over to Carroll to bet $500, which was promptly accepted, but the club refused to allow the bet.
 Time was called at 9:29. z Carroll was crowding Bowen and then drew him sut. Carroll feinted and Bowen backed. Bowen landed lightly with his left on Carroll's shoulder, and fol- lowed it with a right handler on the jaw. Carroll tried with his right and failed.
 In the second round sparring for wind seemed to occupy the mems time. A quick exchange followed and right and left handlers followed and honors were even. Carroll hit Bowen and nearly knocked him down. Bowen hit Carroll, and repeated the performance with his left hand on Carrolrs jaw. Bowsn's round without doubt.
 The third, fourth and fifth rounds were given to Carroll. In the sixth Carroll smashed Bowen and got smashed with right in return. Bowen hand swing and staggered him 6 mo- ment later with a strong right handler on the jaw. Carroll led and hit Bowen a right hand belly punch and got a right handler in the jaw for his pains. Bowen now hit Carroll 6 left han der on the shoulder, and time was called. This round was even, both men being very tired.
 / From the sixth to the fourteenth Carroll was the aggressor. In the thirteenth round Bowen landed on Car rolls stomach, and Carroll knocked Bowen down with @ right handler. Bowen was groggy and Carroll weak; too weak to knock out his man. Car roll knocked Bowen down with a ter rible right. Bowen took awful punish ment, and reeled all over the ring.
 Bowen was virtually beaten in the 14th round, when he received two heavy blows which so seriously hurt him that he never fully recovered, but he showed the most remarkable spirit and fought seven rounds more. although he was so groggy he could scarcely stand on his feet.
 He maintained his reputation for grit to the last.
 When the men met for the twenty first round Carroll forced Bowen, the latter led and missed. Carroll hit Bowen on the neck. Bowen landed Q light one. Carroll landed right and left and Bowen fell exhausted. He rose and fell again and then was counted out. Bowen's gameness was applauded to the echo. Bowen was terribly punished, but he had no com plaint to make.
 Carroll's victory was due to his mag nificent defence. Bowen hit out as well as ever, but he could never land his blows or break through the defence, and only got in few blows.
