Rafting Ten Rounds Between the Mon
tana Kid and the Stockton Coon-The
Police Stop the Event of the Evening

SAN Francisco, September 12.-The
California Athletic club gave its usual
monthly exhibition this evening, Sidney
Huntington and Charles Rochette, local
lightweights, being matched to finish
for small purse. The contest was very
tame, but after Huntington had drawn
blood from Rochettes nose in the six
teenth, nineteenth and twentieth rounds,
the police entered the ring and ordered
the fight stopped. The boys started to
fight the twenty-frst round and were,
together with their abettors, promptly
placed under arrest.
The Kid and the Coon.
Preceding the event of the evening,
a rattling ten-round contest took place
between Charles Turner, of Stockton,
the colored middle weight, and Dan
Egan, known as the Montana Kid"
Egan was in better condition than for a
long time past, and had apparently
trained carefully for the contest. Turner
made his usual careful fight, but in the
fourth round as the men came together,
Egan drove his LETT into the Stockton
mans mouth, and as the latter rushed
on him, felled him on his knees, with
highlander on the left temple. Turner
arose savage, and drove the Kid back to
the ropes, where the latter, blindly
sparring, managed to get his left in the
negro's face with telling effect
The men gave and took sey eral good
blows in the next four rounds, honors
being slightly in Egan's favor. Turner's
left cheek was swollen, but his clever
parties and nimble lodging saved him
from the full effect of many
blows
Egan in the ninth countered heavily
on the Stocktonian's eye, causing the
optic partly to close.
The men swung two-handed blows
with resounding effect from the opening
of the tenth round. Egan landed on
the cheek and jaw OF Turner, on the
chest and over the heart. In a rush by
the latter, Egan drove his left ON to
his opponents chin, and it looked as if
the Stocktonian was gone. He tOttered
and seemed about to fall. Egan was
apparently unwilling to follow up his
advantage, and in few seconds Turner
was all right. The kid again led pow
erful left-hander, which glanced from
the negro's jaw. Turner planted his left
over the kids heart once or twice, and
the contest came to close. There was
no referee in either contest.

New YORK, Sept. 12.-The much
talked of ten-round bout with small
gloves between the heavy weights,
Mike Brennan, champion of Montana,
and Tommy Mccarthy, of Buffalo,
champion of Western New York,
took place tonight in quiet
New Jersey town. Mccarthy had the
advantage in height and reach, standing
six feet, and weighing 1S5 pounds, to
Brennan's five feet nine inches, and III
pounds. Mccarthy led and planted sew
eral left-handers on Brennan's stomach.
Brennan played for the head, but Nc
Carthy easily avoided his blows In the
third round, Brennan caught his man
on the nose and drew first blood. The
fighting then became uninteresting, and
after the tenth round Jack McAuliffe
declared the match draw.
