A Very Tame Contest, Which Resulted
in a Draw

CoNEY ISLAND, N. Y, March 21.--An en-
thusiastic crowd witnessed the boxing
contests last night between Billy Nc
Carthy, of Australia, and Jack McGee, of
Boston, for 81, ,0C0, and George Dixon, the
featherweight champion, and George Sid
IONS, of New Orleans. Mccarthy and Nc
Gee fought ten rounds at the middleweight
limit. The contest between these men
was vigorous throughout, and at the end
Of the tenth round was declared draw
The contestants in the first bout were
not out of the ring minute before George
Dixon appeared with Tom O'Rourke and
took a seat in the corner occupied by Nc
Gee. The seconds of the men were an
nounced as follows: Tom O'Rourke, Eddie
DAILY and Sim Ashe, for Dixon, and Billy
Daccy, Danny Mcbride and Jack Siddons
for Siddons John Eckhart was the ref
cree.
Dixon, according to agreement, had to
knock Siddons out, or best him, in twelve
rounds. Dixon had not trained for the
fight, and many thought he was taken at
disadvantage. Siddons was in prime con-
dition, having trained faithfully, and en-
tered the ring strong and confident.
There was no great fighting in the con-
test, Siddons evidently desiring to keep
out Of his dusky antagonists way as much
as possible. In the twelfth round he drove
Siddons all oyer the ring and landed many
times with both hands, but none of the
blows were of a knockout nature The
general verdict was that it was the poorest
exhibition ever seen around these parts,
and the crowd was greatly disappointed.
When Referee Eckhart declared the fight
draw his voice could scarcely be heard
above the hisses

Justice Brewer on the Chinese.

WASHINGTON, March 21.--At last nights
meeting of the Congregational club the
Chinese question was considered in its
various phases. Justice Brewer of the

Dorers are not more dangerous as class
than others, he said. He held it up as
worse than mookery that thousands Of
parsons should go to the polls to vote while
knowing nothing Of the laws and caring
nothing for them. The alien should not be
allowed to vote until after residence OF
twenty-one years in the country.
