There was large audience in the
 Rink on Monday night to witness the glove contest advertised to take place
 between c. c. Finloyson, of Bisbee, and J. R. Emmons, of Globe. Several preliminary bouts were had, mostly be-
 tween noyices, which afforded consid-
 erable amusement to the spectators
 Messrs. Poole and J, R. Ward were
 the first to shy their castors into the
 ring, They gave very good exhibi-
 ton, displaying some familiarity with
 the gloves. Ward showed superior
 science and staying qualities and in the
 last round gained decided advantage
 over his adversary. Willis Middleton
 and Tom Bainbridgc were the next to
 face oach other and the experience of
 the latter was offset by Middietons su-
 perior strength and quichness The
 bout ended with honors even and no sears of battle visible
 The third sot-to, between w F.
 Ward and D. Sullivan was corker and kept the audience in continual roar of laughter, Both men stripped to the waist. Although short in stature, they made a formidable display of brnwn
 War is modern Sampson in strength, and his blows have the force of pile driver but h:s opponent Is agile and handy with his dukes, and managed not only to avoid Wards most vicious blows, but landed effectively several times on the latter's faco.
 It was almost 9:3O when Emmons slid through the ropes and took his scat, and was followed ten minutes la. ter by Finloyson Tom BMnbridge was called to the stage and was accept. ed as referee by both sides. Messrs. Conley and Eugene Aesehlimann acted as seconds for Emmons, and Messrs Finloyson and McHinnon for Finloy. son, Job Atkins, time keeper
 When the principals, at the request of the referee, shook hands in the mid dle of thc ring, Emmons showed up the larger and heavier, and appeared to be in the best condition Finloysoa car risd himself better, however, and ap- Peared the more confident On the call of time, Finloyson opened hostili ties viciously, and it was at once appar. eat that Tn experience and quickne5s he . was far superior to Emmons. After few harmless passos Finloyson found an opening which he was quicl, to take | advantage of, an landed terrific gight-handcr on the lett side of his up. puuents neck. Emmons was stunned | by the blow. and fell forward. with his body almost rigid, striking the floor on his face. It was several seconds be fore he struggled to his feet, and it was then evident that ho wns done for.
 The fall and not tbe blow had yirtu ally finished him. His face was badly bruised and the bones aS the bridge of the nose fractured. Undoubtedly, Fin loyson could have knocked out his man then and there which, would have been more merciful, but the brutal spectacle continued through thtee rounds. Emmons seemed dazcd aud totally unable }o defend himself, and his blows were wild lunges of des- peratc man Only once, in the second round, did he strike G hlow that was dapgerdus il caught Finloy5on on the shoulder, nad although glancing lick, the force was sufficient to stagger him Had it been m inch or two higher it might have ehauged the tide 1f battle Emmous was repeatedly hoored and in the third round diter being knocked down the second time, he was counted ont by the time keeper.
