was master of the art; his every move
ment was admired by the spectators. who
remarked that they bad never seen a more
graceful fighter. Gallagher took a stiff
position, but he held his arms we'll up and
protected his face from many stiff left
handlers.
Dawson tried various maneuvers to draw
Gallagher's left from position in which he
held it to protect his face.
He fiddied and fooled and danced to the
right and left Of his opponent, stopping oc-
casionally. and dropping his left on
Gallaghes's nose.
The latter tried several times to land
right or left, but the artful Australian was
up 10 tricks, and by lodging and running
and falling when closely pressed, he escaped
swings. any Of which would have ended the
tight suddenly had they landed.
Gallagher tried time and again to get
Dawson TO mix things up bit, but the lat
ter wouldn't think 0f such thing, as he
soon came to the conclusion that mixed"
tight would be disastrous to him.
Gallagher could not understand the
Australians system of long-range, runaway
style of battle, aud time and again during
the mill IL WAS fooirace, with Dawson in
the lead and Gallagher in hot pursuit.
When the Oaklander came dangerously
close to the ABtipOdean the latter would
avoid hostilities by dropping to the floor
and remaining in safe position until the
enemy was called away.
Scientifically speaking Gallagher was no
match Tor Dawson who, Notwithstanding
his wonderful tact and cunning. did not
show any great hitting ability, but relied
almost solely on his cleverness in jabbing
with the left and following up with right
handlers, the effect OF which left lump as
big as Suiliyan's fist on Gallag hers left side,
where the visitations we're very numerous.
Gallagher proved 10 be a man of wonder
full pluck, and had Dawson stood up 10 his
medicine instead of resorting to running
tactics, the Oaklander would certainly have
won quick victory, and as it is he made
great battle.
From the many left-banders Gallagher
stopped with his mouth his upper lip
swelled until 1t almost reached his nose
His left eve was in mourning after Il rounds
had been fought.
Although Dawson caught a number OF
stifieners on his face. his features with the
exception Of a few abrasions, did not show
any marks of punishment.
IL must be borne in mind that the contest
was between an old professional and q man
who had only recently come out of the anna
teur ranks.

Club Meetings.

There was a meeting of the executive
committee of the State Democratic CON-
mlttee at the Grand Hotel yesterday after
noon to consider the differences existing
between the two factions Of the Democratic
party.
There were present: William McMann,

The meeting was called to order by Chair
man Wilson, who referred 10 the trouble
existing and asked that some action be
taken relative to the matter.
After some little preliminary discussion
il was decided TO defer action on the differ
ences now pending in the party locally in
San Francisco until o'clock Wednesday
afternoon. when the committee viii meet
again. The County Committee was also re-
queSted TO adjourn the meeting called for
tonight until Wednesday evening, when
further action can be taken.
William ID. English was appointed as q
committee of one TO visit Fresno for the
purpose of arranging details for the holding
OF the State convention.
When this had been disposed OF a COM
mittee of five, consisting OF William ID. Eng
lish, Arthur Rodgers, William McMapn,

named TO prepare call Tor the State con-
yenton.

bic for delegates to the convention.

committee caused by the death of John X.

The resignation Of Jerry Driscoll as a
member OF the committee was presented
and accepted.
The committee then adjourned
1t is understood that the action of the
committee was Influenced largely by James
G. Mcguire, who took with him Marcus
Rosenthal and +. L. HabHry To prove his
assertions. Ii was stated that both OF the
last-named gentlemen had agreed TO stand
in to accept the plan proposed by the State
committee and were willing to so announce
in spite Of the fact that they had voted

ment, however, ROsenthal experienced "a

strongholds of the two Third-street bosses,
Kelly and Crmmins. In the former bit
ter struggle is looked for, and unless all
signs fail Billy Harrington will give his old
enemy (Keily) the fight of his life. Harring-
ton, as usual, has the worst of it at the
start, and the polling-p!aees are just 10
kelly's liking. Harrington, however, is a
man Of great popularity, and he says that
he will have friends enough to stand off
Kelly's men and make them give his friends
a chance to vote. This. he claims. is all he
asks, and II lie gets fair show he will
knock Kelly out.
In the Twenty ninth District, where
Crimmins lives and moves and has his be-
ing, the situation is still more prohiematical,
but the little boss has Mike Dunn with
him. and Mike is handy man in any pri-
mary. Crimmins should win out. but the
Burns men are certain to keep him busy,
and stand a chance of beating him.
Senator Mahoney Will probably hold his
own in the Thirtieth. but Kelly and Grim
Minis will put a gang of rock-rollers into the
district that will make the fight a hard one.

In the West End the Thirty-:eyenth and

the outlook is that Crimmins. with the aid
of Billy Blattner and Jesse Marks, will

truly wonderful fight, and, as previously
stated, II Dawson stood up to his medicine
and fought as fighters are supposed TO do
according to Queensberry rules, instead of
racing and falling on the carpet to avoid
punishment, Gallagher would have lowered
the Australians colors before many rounds
had been fought.
1t was only when Gallagher was ex-
hausted from chasing and striking a. an
object which was Invariably out Of range
that Dawson assayed to do a bit Of close
range work, and then when Gallagher had
only the use of one eye he made Dawson
look out for his laureis, as in one of the
rounds be Knocked the Australian off his
feet by clean rigbt-hander in the stomach.
AS the rounds were drawing to a close
many of the spectators left the hall in dis
gust. owing to the frightful appearance of
Gallagher's face. which was literally a mass
OF confused and bleeding flesh. The man
was strong, however, and being thoroughly
game. he never tiinched from toeing the
scratch when the gong sounded the fighters

lips were In horrible state, and he very

he did not show any severe marks OF Gal

Forty-second Round = Game and
Scientific Pugilism.

One OF the most interesting light weight
battles that have taken place In this city for
years was witnessed by a large crowd at tho
California Athletic Club last evening.
The contest was between Billy Gallagher
of Oakland, who recently defeated Billy
Mahan, and George Dawson. the champion
light weight Of Australia.
The fighters scaled 139 pounds at o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The purse was $500.
out of which the losers end was $3.50.
The men had been training several weeks,
as the fight was postponed some short time
ago until last evening, owing to Dawson's
neither limbs having gone wrong while
training on the hard roads.
The pool-selling was very brisk. Gal
lagher was favOrite until last night, when
Dawson's stock took a sudden jump and
the books closed with the Australian stand
ing at $50 against Sis on the Oaklander.
After short preliminary the fighters en-
tered the ring at 9 o'clock. Gallagher wore
black trunks and Dawson donned white

condition when the gong sounded.

showed the better pair OF shoulders and the
more intellectual physiognomy.
The moment the fighters settled down to
