and more confident at the end of the

and more confident at the end Of the
second round.
Round Three-Slavin sprang lightly
into the middle of the ring, but only to
receive a right and left facer from Jake.
Slavin replied with a pretty slap on
Jake's nose. Soon after Savin shot
out his right like piston rod, caught
Kilrain under the left ear and the Balti-
more boy went down full length
'like log," dazed and almost
helpless, his eyes almost closed. But,
encouraged, he managed to stagger to
his feet, but it was painfully evident
that his strength was gone. He made a
brave rally, however, clinched, and at
the breakaway, received another terri
bic knock and blow which actually fell
ed him to the stage. Slowly, painfully,
half insensible, Jake just managed to
Stagger to his knees and the gong saved
him.
Round Four-The men had barely
met when down went poor Jake. He
was evidently ont of it, and Slavin hit
him at will Blood was pouring from
Jake'S nose. which was said to be
broken, and this, combined with the
water on both mems bodies, made them
pretty horrible looking objects. Four
times did Jake go to grass in this
round, but four times he rallied and
faced his man gamely, but there was no
force in his blows, while Slavin was full
of strength.
Round Five-Jeke looked little bet
ter when he came to time, but his
blows had no force, though he landed
repeatedly on the Australians head.
Soon another terrible right handler sent
Jake down and nearly put him to sleep.
He managed, however, to stagger up
and again faced the Australian, who
was impatient to get in the knockout
blow. Once he had Jake in his (Slavin'S)
corner in a puddle of water, and was
about to pound him there, when Jere
Dunn interfered, and ordered him to
let Jake get out of the water.
Round Six-Began with the usual
clinching and Slavn's vigorous efforts
to finish knocking out his opponent.
With the clinches came those dreadful
piston-rod body blows, landing below
Jake's heart. Jske seemed almost help
less, but fought gamely.
Round Seven-Slavin no sooner got in
range than he went for Jake's ribs with
as much vim as in the first round. Blood
literally poured down Jake's face.
Round eight-Slavin again led with
two heavy right handlers, which missed
the mark, and Jake went in for saving
clinch, Throughout the round the re-
feree was kept busy separating the men.
Round Q, and last-Jake managed to
come to the scratch in pretty good
shape, but after Slavin had landed
upon him once or twice, or three times.
again mass of blood. Jake, however,
managed to get in two good
blows on Slavin's head, though
there was little force in them.
Savin, on the other hand, was hitting
as powerfully as ever. Finally Slavin
hit Jake a terrible left-hander on the
neck and Jake went down as if shot.
Still game, Jake slowly and painfully
rose, reeled, and as the gong sounded
had to be carried to his corner, and Jere
Dunn gave the fight to Slavin.

COLUMBUS, O., June 16.-The Ohio
Supreme Court to-day rendered decisions
in two important cases. One dismlSses
the contempt of court proceedings
brought against Auditor Critics, OF Allen
county, for failing to list Senator Brlce'S
property for taxation, as alleged by the
tax inquisitor. The decision is inter

other decision holds as legal the recent

in the west window of the NJ. & E. es-
