first round, but after that Pierce took a
hand in it and mixed IL up lively for his
opponent. In the third round he scored a
clean knock down and had his man bested

the two and was much quicker at getting

and slow 10 recover.
Daley and White were the third pair on

quicker on his feet. They gave promise
Of giving the best exhibition Of the even

in sharp exchange, White caught IL on
the point Of the jaw, and he went down
and out
Grogan and Powers made it interesting
for the crowd. Powers had declared that
he was going to "do" his opponent, but

the other foot. He had him where he
wanted him from the start, and came
near putting him out. the call OF time

The came the wind-up between Jimmy
Murray and Joe Eaton. 1t was Murray's
first appearance in public here in thirteen
wears and the round of applause which he
received when he made his appearance
showed in what favor the clever boxer is
held by even those who knew him only by
reputation. In the three rounds with
Eaton he showed to the satisfaction OF the
audience that he had by no means for
gotten his cunning and the frequent out
burst of applause was evidence that his
cleverness was appreciated. II was a fit

long and well. The NEWS at that time
stated that we might expect to see Jim at
the head of an American Association club
in New York city. The prophecy was
correct and Mutrie is now hustling in the
interests of the Association. He has s25,-
coo subscribed already and can get as much
more money as he requires TO put first
class club in the field. He has the assur-
ance of the American Association, which
will be n twelve-club league next year.
that everything will he all right, and Jim
is now hustling to perfect arrangements.
The following special dispatch was re-
ceived from New York to-day: The offer
for Peter Maher, the Irish champion, and
Jim Dolan Of Providence for glove con-
test, has been declined by Billy Madden,
Maher's manager, Madden having been
consistent in refusing to meet beaten or
unknown men, Jack Fallon at once went
TO the Illustrated Nelrs office and asked to
have il telegraphed TO Providence that he
would meet Dolan on the same terms.

has done in sparring with Maher in Phila-
delphia last week seemed TO have been Of
