The final contests of the athletic tournament

Mr.. Gregor, however, won the second place.
Then came the boxing in the heavyweight
class. De Saussaure met Webb and after a rat
ting contest got the decision. Webb surprised
every one BY the excellent showing he made.
and at one time it looked as if he might win.
He got second place, however, on O'Neills for
felt.
No one contested in the l35-pound class and
George Carter was given the championship.
Won Lindgren and OLeary were the final
contestants in the 15S-pound class. The former
easily defeated OLeary and the latter got
second prize.
The event of the evening was the sparring in
the heavyweight class Mooney, who won
such a signal victory over Won Lindgren on
Friday night, was pitted against Dickinson.
The bout was a bot one from the start, and al
though Dickinson had much the better of 1t as
lar as reach, height and weight were con-
cerned. Mooney clearly out-pointed him and
sent him to The floor three times. Both men
fouled during the contest, and when claim
was made the judges disagreed. The referee
ordered the men to another round. Mooney
had severely injured his right hand during the
contest and it was swollen out of shape. So he
was unable to further contest aud the prize
was accordingly awarded to Dickinson. Many
thought the referee should have decided in
favor of Mooney at the end of the third round
when the judges disagreed. OLeary promptly
challenged for second houors, and as Mooney
was thoroughly unit to compete. owing to the
injury to his hand, he was Obliged to forfeit
second place.
These contests have proved such drawing
card that within a month it is understood a
similar exhibition will be given, open to all
members of the Atlantic Association of the A.
