BILLY MURPHY THE CHAMPION.
He Knocks Out Ike Weir, the Belfast
SPIDER, IN Fourteen Rounds in
San Franciscn.

! The fight to finish between Ike
Weir, the Belfast Spider, featherweight
championship Of the world, and Billy
Murphy, featherwelght champion of
! Australia, for purse Of $500. took
place at the California Athletic club.
Before the fight President Fulda an
nounced that John l.. Sullivan had
agreed with al accredited representa-
tive Of the club on purse for which he
would meet Peter Jackson in the last
! fight of his life. The amount was
SIS OO0 and Jackson had accepted the
terms, BY unanimous vote the club an
nounced it's approval of the proposition
to empower the directors to make Che
match.
Weir's weight was announced at
1854, Murphy's at 1881. Time was
called at 8:35 p. m. The men started
in at a lively pace. Murphy's body
blows were met by Welr's rapid upper
cutting. The first round ended with
Weir slipping to the floor from Mar
phv's rally, In the second Murphy
reached Weir's nose and was caught by
the neck and punched by upper cuts,
causing his rose to bleed. The applause
and laughter at the end Of each round
was uproarious.
Weir's antics caused great amuse-
ment from the start, but his clever
fighting and the rapidity Of his upper
cutting surprised both his opponent and
the spectators. Murphy was bleeding
freely at the nose in the second round,
and beyond a few good body blows his
rushes and strong right hand swings
had counted for naught. In the eighth
round he fought savagely, but was
nearly knocked out by right hander on
the chin.
From the eigth to the twelfth round
little effective fighting was done. In
the twelfth the Spider swung his right
arm with telling effect on Murphy's left
ear and jaw, again planting right and
left in the Australian eve, as he came
out tiercely. Murphy's left eye was
bleeding freely in the twelfth. He
fought desperately and drove Weir
through the ropes and around the ring.
The thirteenth round was one Of the
greatest surprises ever seen in the club
rooms. Murphy came UP almost hope
less but fought fiarcely. He landed a
right hander on Weir's head that stag
gered him and In q minute was upon
him swinging and uppercutting with
his right hand, sending the Spider down
eight times il rapid succession. Twice
the latter Was nearly counted ont but

Rider, who has been absent from the city
for two or three years travelling through
Canada and other parts, gave stirring
little address upon the pract cal " ork~
ings OF the Catholic temperance cause IN
the various localities he visited. The
following is an excerpt from his speech :
''Most of us remember the feelings with
which we left school. We imagined that
the world was agog to receive, and that
what stray atoms of knowledge were not
safely bottled in the cells of our brains
were scarcely worth boltrling. Most Of
us remember how short time it took to
disillusionize us. We found that we
were just entering as freshmen the great
university of the world, in which the
teacher is experience and the text books
men. I do not wish to disparage books
or the use of them. What I wish to adj
vance is, that all books, recei we'd as they
should be, are men, and, read as they
should be, are soul studies. a book is
worth ins& the amount of respect its
meri S warrant. A good book is the best
part of a good man. Our truest know
ledge is 10 know the littleness of what
we know. A book to be worth the read
ing should be unexceptional In point Of
morality. There are SO many gems that
it is not worth. the while to look for
pebbles. How one can spend time in
reading lola, Ouida, and such works,
when he can Just as we'll read Thackeray
and that class, is difficult to understand.
When we study the great man we find
that what is called his genius is, after
all, only his power of attention. BEAD
ing with attention, we must avoid the
fault of reading too many books. We
should avoid reading in hurry. Method
is the better part of learning. A well
read book is mentally dissected. Variety
is as necessary to healthy mental de-
velopment as is a variety of food to
healthy physical condition. Never lay
aside an author who is worth reading
until you have mastered all he has said.
There are those who read and study and
never assimilate what they read. They
never have the courage to venture an
opinion of their own. We should make
what we read our own. We should try
and SEQ how we would have presented
sueh ideas. The dis inctive mark of
we'll trained mind is its analytical and
synthetical power, its ability to split up
the thoughts of others and vitaljze them
into its own"
