in the evening the crowd began to con-
gregate and from that time on until they
were ready to enter the ring they kept
coming in by train loads, Gibbons was
the favorite in the betting, although
DAILY had many strongsupporters among
the eastern delegation who failed to see
how he could possibly lose. Both men
we're under the stipulated weight when
they weighed in at o'clock in the alter
noon and were in prime condition.
Austin Gibbons and his seconds entered
the ring about five minutes before DAILY.
The men behind DAILY were Capt, Bill
DAILY, his backer Joe Choynski, Alex
Greggains, Prof. Robertson, with Har-
rigan as bottleholder Dan Murphy, OF
Boston, held time for DAILY. Gibbons
was looked after by his two brothers,
jim and George Mcdonald, Of England.
Round l. The boys commenced work
at half past nine. Both men we're full
OF fight. Daily, the first thing, rushed
right at Gibbons and planted u stltl
right handler in his wind. Gibbons,
contrary to expectations, staid right in
front CT his man and received many
stiff blows with both right and left, and
only hit back when he got u good open
ing. On one OF Daly's misses Gibbons
upper cut him and put him on his
knees.
Round .. DAILY was not quite so full
OF fight this round and he allowed Glib
bons to become the aggressor. DAILY
landed many good stiff left handed
blows, but got fully as good rs he gave.
Gibbons was cool and every time he hit
he landed with effect, although he had
to take some good right handed swings
on the shoulder.
Round 3. During the minutes rest
Charley Mitchell told Gibbons he would
give him within 500 OF the winners
end for his chance OF winning and Of
fered to bet 81 900 to $500 on Gibbons,
which was taken by Jimmy Colyille.
The third round was not very ferocious,
as DAILY was forced to act on the deton-
sive. AT one time, however, while
Gibbons was taking too many liberties,
he came near meeting an ugly right
handler that would have laid him out
il it had connected.
Round 4. In this round Gibbons
showed q decided superiority over DAILY
and simply played with him as a cat
would with n mouse. Gibbons got on
TO Daiy's styie of fighting and mot him

spent his force in the first round and
tried to spar for wind.

bons forcing matters. He has the i'd
vantage In reach. DAILY reached Austin
on the neck. Gibbons rushed at him
and delivered two staggering right

leads and lands with his right on the
breast. He follows with another
singer on the breast and the sound Of
the blow could be heard over the
house. After IN Intellectual lead on
