LONDON, ) uly 27.-The fight between
Jim Smith and Pritchard for $4,000,
took place this afternoon, and Pritch-
ard beat Smith in three rounds. Smith
showed a strong Discrimination to take
punishment and was easily defeated by
Pritchard. The fight lasted only ten
minutes. In the first round Smith took
the decided lead. He gave Pritchard a
heavy blow on the body, drove him all
over the ring and fOored him twice be-
fore time was called. Pritchard then
seemed daZed. In the second round,
however, a surprising change occurred
Pritchard was sprightly, while Smith
appeared weak, Pritchard forced the
fighting with such an effect that Smith
soon showed signs of having enough.
Twice the men went down, but at the
close of the round We're hardly able to
stand The third round was q one
sided affair Pritcuard had quite his
own way and placed his opponent
prone and helpless on his back. The
display was far from scientific. Both
men tried to settle the affair asquickly
as possible.
