Negro.

TROY, n. Y, March 31.-The great glove con

the colored Boston lad is victor. Crowds came
from all directions and the rink was packed to
Its utmost capacity. Prominent sporting men
from all over the country we're in the audience.
Betting was free, but the odds were all on
Dixon. This is probably accounted for by the
fact that rumor prevailed all day that Nc
Carthy had been drinking and was not taking
| proper care of himself.
The light was for the featherweight champio n
ship and $4,000. Side bets were plentiful and
great excitement prevailed. It's believed fully
| $4,000 must have changed hands on the result.
Dixon was seconded by Tom O'Rourke and Il.
Hodklns. McCarthy'S seconds were Jack Nc
Aullffe and Billy Madden, Jerry Dunn was
| referee. The scales were set at 115 pounds.
Neither man tipped the beam at that mark and
they jumped OFF SO that none of those present
| could ascertain their exact weight. Sheriff
Iappan was served with an Injunction restrain
ing him from interfering with the fight. Both
! men were apparently in prime condition when
they entered The ring.
In the first round the men spared cautiously
and exchanged blows evenly.
In the second, Mccarthy was too eager, and
throwing himself open to DiXon'S swings was
| noored twice IN quick order, being almost
Knocked out the second time
In the third, Mccarthy again tried mitigating
anu gov the WOrSt OF III, Dut In the fourth he was
cautious and had the best of the round.
| In the fifth, Dixon forced the fighting and
punished Mccarthy severely, getting one clean
knock down.
In the next three rounds, there was hard
hghtlng with nonorS about even.
| In the ninth, Mccarthy punched hard at long
| range, and Dixon landed heavily on his nose
| making it bleed freely
In the next round both tried long range tao
tics with no particular damage.
IN Inc eleventh, there was hard fighting, and
Mccarthy cut deep cash in Dixon's right eye
with left-handed swinging upper cut.
In the twelfth Dixon forced matters and
Mccarthy, who was bleeding freely, chung to his
neck TO avoid punishment.
In the next two rounds, Mccarthy was very
cautious but in the fifteenth rushed and got in
three left hand upper cuts which split Dixon's
lip and loosened his teeth.
For the next five rounds, although there was
some sharp fighting, little damage was done
put In the tWenty-first Dixon forced matters
and drove Mccarthy all over the ring, knocking
him down.
In the twenty second Dixon knocked Nc.
Carthy down as fast as he got up until be was

Gillette's Latest Comedy Meets
With Tremendous Success,
The Complications That Arise From Man
Keeping Two Establishments, One in Lon
don, the Other in Edinburgh.

[Specialto THE HERALD-Exam1ner Dispatch. !
New YORK, March 31-Charles Frohman
presented last night Gillettes latest comedy
Mr. Wilkinson's Widows" 1t met with tre
mendous success. Mr.. Wilkinson does not an
pear in the play but it is shown that during the
time he was alive he was lively character He
lived In London and n Edinburgh where he
had business in the wine trade. In these cities
he maintained two domestic establishments.
Mr.. Gillette shows that Wilkinson was married
to two charming young women, one of whom
during W1lklnson'S periodical absence carried
on a series Of f1irtations with several admirers
amongsthem one man, Major Ferguson Mallov.
On Wilkinson'S death, however both vonno
women married again. One OF them is knows
as Mrs. Perrin, the other as Mrs. Dickerson.
The latter was the lively Mrs wilkinson. Dur
ing his life time each supposed herself to be the
undisputed wife of the bigamist At the home
of Mrs. Perrin Ames Major Mallory tells the
husband, Mr.. Perrin, that he has return ed from
voyage for the purpose of meeting Young
married woman whom he loved very much but
who during his absence married Wilkinson a
fact which did not interfere with mild
Irritation on their parts. but he has now
returned, knowing Wilkinson has died to marry
her; To PERKINS, dismay and agony it is re-
vealed that the woman with whom he carried
on this Irritation was Mrs. Wilkinson. Perrin
thinks he refers to his own wife. Here follows
series of rapid and convulSive complications
IN the frantic efforts made by Perrin to prevent
Mallory, the former (Supposed) admirer of his
(PerrinS) wife from meeting with Mrs Perrin
1t transpires, however, later that the particular
Mrs. Wilkinson with whom Mallory was con-
cerned was not Perrin'S WIFE but Mrs Dicl,er
son, who by a coincidence lives in fat in the
same house with the PerrinS. Upon the mi s.
take of identity AS to.which Mrs. Wilkinson was
the beloved of the affectionate Mallory. the
complications are brought about. Two happy
homes are therefore thrown into most turbnS-
lent state of excitement.

tween Spreckels and the Sugar trust, says the
Hawaiian sugar planters for some time have

will after to-day. 10 go into competition and
throw off 2 cents in the price meant heavy
loss, and combination to keep up the price
until this stock has been disposed of was the
only way out Of the difficulty.
