but high above the din Jere Dunn's voice an
nouncsd that MoAuliffe had won. Tho Glib
bons party claimed that Dunn had no right to
give decision: that the articles Of agreement
called for fight to finish. and that they were
being robbed. The decision was In. though.
and the money bet on tho fight

McAuliffs admitted after tho battle that the
twenty-seven pounds he took of In order to
got to weight had made him anything but the
Jack McAullfYe Of old. who used to DO good and
strong at lightweight limit. Yet. although
bis face was pale and had q pinched appear
anoe. he had all his old-time snap and
dash and fought In as good shape
as ever. He said some weeks ago
that this would be the last fight Of
his lie. and unless Gibbons taunts him into
making match to a finish 1t is probable that
be will retire from tho ring. No fight to q
finish can ever be decided In Hoboken. and II
Jim Gibbons Is wise no will keep his brother In
bis own class-127 pounds.
Tho dead game sports began to arrive IN
town carly In tho day. and tho familiar phlz Of
tho "bloods" was not intreauent sight at
many OF The large hotels. Gentlemen with
very large waistcoats and audible trousers
coneregated In the hotel Hobbies and told tales
OF 1stic lore and uttered large words In loud
tones Thay were all eager TO get the very
last news about the condition OF tho fighters.
Strange to say. there was not much show o.
money. Most OF tho fash gentlemen from
out Of town were McAulifre men. But stories
OF Gibbons's long roach hal not escaped them
At tho race track there was plenty OF talk
about tho fight Money was plentier there
and some good bets were made. McAuli1e.
had many friends and was q strong favorits In
tho betting. Between the races the crowd
talked OF little else than tho fight. You could
hear anything You liked. There were
tho wise ones who always know all about 1t.

The Paterson crowd waited until late In tho
afternoon and then struggled in. They came
along like the old womans geese. two alone
and one together They were talking but not
very much. and their money was scarce The
Gibbons shouters were 4 different looking lot
OF men from the McAulif1e heelers. They were

would be. and where many OF the wiry Jacks
