Reeord-General Ring Gossip.

The fight OF Tuesday night was the chief
topic Of conversation at all the sporting re-
sorts yesterday. OF course, the admirers
Of the victorious Dawson were legion. but
not more so than the sympathizers with the
defeated but not disgraced Dannie Need
ham. at was really a pity" said Martin
Murphy yesterday, Ito see game man like
Needham beaten. Many in the hall would
have liked TO have seen the fight STOPPED at
the twenty-ffth round and the money di-
vided between them"
Dawson passed Tuesday night In the
Hammam baths, and walked out yesterday
morning TO Eddy Gresney's house, where
he will stay until his face is more present
able. At present Ii is badly pulled and
swollen. Beyond this the Australian feels
as fine as a fiddle Reports received from
Oakland, however, give q different account
of Needham, who is said to be suffering
terribly from the effects of the beating he
received about the region of the kidneys. 1t
has been enormously stated that Needham
was badly hit over the heart, but this is
an error, as he did not receive above two
blows anywhere near there.
The complaints were long and loud about
the seating and lighting arrangements, and
President Hiram Is. Cook yesterday apollo
giZed for the defects in this part of the ar
time In which the club had 10 get ready
and TO the Unexpectedly large crowd. 1t
is absurd, however, 10 say that 1000 people
were present" said he. There were not
more than hail that number But we Will
10 future limit the number of tickets TO the
number of actual seats, and the public Will
be better satisfied with the next contest, so
far as convenience, proper exits and light
ing arrangements are concerned. The club
is now out Of deOt, and It's affairs are there

GODDARD AND SMITH.
The California Club made preliminary
arrangements yesterday for a 10-round
20 between Joe Goddard and Billy
Smith for purse Of $3.50. The
conditions are that the former shall
knock his opponent out within the
stated number OF rounds All the purse
will 60 TO the winner. Some surprise is ex-
pressed that the club should pit middle
weight like Smith against Goddard. Many
think that the veteran Paddy Ryan would
give Goddard far better l0-round go than
Smith. and match between Ryan and the
Barrier champion would without doubt be
far greater drawing card. The match, how
ever. if made. will take place on August
