There was wrestling, boxing and face
slapping at the athletic exhibition held by
the Olneyville Temperance Cadets last
had the CALL There was only one set-to
for business and that was between Mike
Cooney and Eddie O'Donnell, which had
been under way only two minutes, when
O'Donnell was given the quletus blow and
the bout ended. The rest of the "gos"
were of the light order, with good exhibit
tion of sparriug in some of them.
The exhibition opened with wrestling
match between Herrick of South Provi-
dence and Deity of Olneyville. 1t was a
walkoyer for Herrick, but to make it the
more interesting he allowed Defiiy TO get
the second fall and took the first and third
himself. FRANK Davey was referee. Then
came the boxing, aud the first pair to put
on the gloves was Donnelly and Griffin,
who gave a four-round exhibition of light
sparring, Donneify having the best of it
throughout. Next came Powers and Red
fern.
The former was very anxious not to get
bit hard and in trying to avoid it made u
ridiculous showing. Redfern toyed with
him for four rounds and Powers was glad
when il was over. Cooney and O'Donnell
were the third pair. They had agreed TO
u,
O'Donnell let 90 his right hard into
Cooney's face and he had TO take the con-
sequences. Mike cut loose and sailed in
He hit O'Donnell with right and left hand
swings and straights from the shoulder
After two minutes Of this work O'Donnell
went down and the set-to ended. Nc
Manus and Donohue made good natured
and rugged four-round go, and then came
Daley and Hanly in four rounds of love
pats Murphy of Pawtucket and O'Brien
of Attleboro hit hard when they landed
and their three rounds warmed the audi
ence up somewhat The wind-up was
between Gilhooly and Eaton, who gave
the most scientific bout of the evening.
Apropos of ODonnell's defeat at the
hands of Mike Cooney last night, the an
nouncement that six-round go has been
arranged between him and Barney Hub
bard OF Boston will interest those who fol-
low the game The meeting between this
pair will occur ut Prof Walkers exhibit
tion at the Pawtucket Gymnasium on the
70 inst. IL is toss-up between them and
IL Is foregone conclusion that in the six
rounds there will be lots of lively work
and the crowd will get its moneys worth.
Ernest Hunold also informs me that
among others who will appear on that oc-
casion are Maxwell and Doran. Eaton and
Kelley OF Philadelphia, kollet and James,
and special bout for the Pawtucket
patons between kempton aud Barnett,
besides several others which are being
arranged This will be the fourth exhibit
ton OF the season and IL bids fair TO excell
all others.
