New YORK, Jan. Ga small sized
blizzard struck New York about mid

until in some places the snow was
piled 3 to 4 feet deep. Up to noon to-
day there was an actual fall of snow OF
about twelve inches. The snow storm
is reported to be general in this section

JOE FIELDEN KNOCKED oUT.-The
glove fight before the Crescent City Ath-
letic Club at New Orleans last night
between Andy Bowen, of New Orleans,
and Joe Fie!den, of Washington, for a
purse of s., 900 filled the amphitheatre
with enthusiastic spectators. Bowen's
rushes and sledge hammer blows were
too much for Fielden's science, and,
though the Englishman showed pluck,
he was finally forced to succumb.
Fielden avoided the rushes up to the
twenty-first round, when Bowen land
ed a terrific right-hand swing on the
jaw, dazing Fielden and followed up
the advantage, knocking Fielden down
five times. In the next round Bowen
continued his attacks, using his right
on the jaw with terrible effect. Field
en- was knocked down several times,
but struggled to his feet, until at last,
weak and staggering, he was sent down
for good by another right-hand swing
On the jaw. The general impression
before the fight was that Bowen would
win, there being grave doubts express
ed as to Fielden's gameness.
