The Rutler.Cahill FIGHT.


Especial to THE HERALD--Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, Jan. 1.-THE parquette, bal
cony, gallery and stage OF the Brooklyn
Academy of Music were all crowded last
night when the final bouts in the Varuna
boat clubs boxing tourney were decided.
The majority of the assemblage were there
to see Pat Cahill, the amateur champion
middle weight, fight four rounds with Jim
Butler for a special prize and satisfaction.
incidentally they wanted to see the decid-
ing bouts in the five classes of the pro-
gramme. ALI wanted to see haro hitting
and fast fighting and were not disap-
pointed. Every bout was fight and in all
blood was drawn from one nose at least.
The event of the evening was the last.
Pat Cahill, attended by 3. j. Foley, was
the first to enter the ring. James Butler
was attended by Frank White. Butler
! forced matters at the start, but Cahill got
home his right and Butler went down.
| Then they rushed at each other like bulls
Like lightning Butler sent his right on to
| Cahill's nose and the champion fell dazed
and bleeding. The cry went up ''Cahlll is
| whipped And it did seem so, but by
clinching he saved himself until the call of
| time.
Butler forced the fighting, but Cahill
| fought hard. They were frequently
clinched and fell all over the ropes. The
people were crazy from excitement and
yelled instructions TO the men and made
claims of foul.
When they appeared for the third round
the people were wild with enthusiasm and
called on Butler to knock out the champion.
Cahill, who was stronger than at any time
in the fight, rushed at Butler and with a
swinging right handler raised a big lump
over the left eye which he cut open a
moment later with a left hand drive. They
rushed to the ropes, Butler punching Ca
hill on the ribs while Cahill used his elbow
on Buffers throat. They were forced
apart by the referee and White claimed
that Cahill had bit Butler. The claim was
not allowed. After the break away Butler
smashed CahilPs nose. They were both
groggy when time was called.
In the fourth and last round Cahill tried
to force matters, but he was met by But
ler's left and staggered Then Butler
cross countered with his right and Cahil
rushed to clinch. They fell through the
ropes, but resumed fighting and Cahill re-
ceived staggering right-hauder on the
neck. Again he cllnched and again hs
pushed Butler through the ropes falling on
him. Buffers head struck the floor and BIZ
was dazed Then Police Inspector Nc
Laughlin entered the ring and stopped the
fight. The judges agreed on Butler as thu
, winner Then it seemed as if bedlam hat
! been let loose. Butler was raised on thu
shoulders of his friends and borne away
Cahill was very weak aud was assisted t.
his dressing room. He ascribed his defea
to q chance blow in the first round. H
cried with vexation and declared he woul
have another fight with Butler.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA startling look

Nation and recounted the terrible fate of
this country at the hands of the malignant
Britishers in the year 1893. The story is
intended as an awful warning to Congress
on the subject of coast defences. The front
of the book is devoted to queer and vivid
picture of the destruction of New York. In
the foreground is the very demoralized
statue of Liberty, armless and tottering.

statue of Freedom on the dome has toppled,
while sheets of flame are issuing from the
dome. The building itself has been turned
completely around by the force of the bonn

ment has been broken of ike stick of

desired effect our legislators are not sus-
ceptible to fear.

WATERvILLE. August 23.-There Is every
reason to expect good Freshman class at
Colby.thIs.fall. President Small has received
several letters from students asking for ad-
mission, and class of about forty Is now
looked forward to at the opening OF the col
lege. Among them will be a goodly number
OF young ladies. 1t has been found neces-
sary to furnish more ample accommodations
Tor lady students, and another domitory for
their use will be arranged. An offer has
recently been made for the purchase OF the
Palmer House, situated on Getchell street,
and II a purchase is made 1t will be fitted up
by the college for this purpose.
This Is what most college presidents and
professors term an off year. and 1t Is espe-
cially noticeable that during the "odd years"
fewer students are numbered among the
classes Of our Maine colleges than during
the "even years.. as for example the class OF
'94 in nearly all classes was very large In
numbers, while 1t looks now as though In
several cases some of the colleges In this
state would not be pressed with large en-
tering class. Colby, however, now bids fair
to be an exception to the general rule In this
respect. and good sized class is now fully
assured.
Norman l.. Bassett, 81, who took so many
prizes at the last commencement has been
secured as assistant instructor In the Latin
and Greek languages, and a native German
has been secured as professor In that Ian
guage. Other changes have also been made.

ONE MORE SCANDAL.
Contractors for Work in Toronto
harbor Said To Be Dishonest.

TORONTO. Ont. August 23.-What prom
ises scandal of large proportions has been
unearthed by the Mail (newspaper) In con-
nection with the harbor works that have
been In progress here for over two years.
They should have been completed this fall,
but only an Insignificant portion Of the work
is done. 1t is estimated that should the
work proceed no faster in the future 1t will
occupy 16 years. The Mail charges that the
best and cheapest design for harbor protec-
ton works was cast aside by the public
works department because 1t did not CON
tain possibilities enough for government
contractors. When the design was deter
mined, tenders were advertised for and
the contract given to a firm whose tender
was $43, 800 more than the lowest bidder. 1t
Is charged that the engineer in charge Of the
proved himself incompetent, and as result
the work has been done in the most expen-
sive manner, often being done twice over.
1t Is also charged that the stone placed dur
ing recent years In the breakwater slope
cost S. 30 and $40 per hundredweight, when
at the outside 1t should not cost more than
50. and also that the contractors were al
lowed to put sand in the cribs and charge
the price Of stone for 1t. The paper calls
upon the new minister of public works to
investigate the matter.
