AS early as o'clock crowd began to
congregate, and among the spectators
were some of the most prominent sport
ing men in the Unitod States. Gibbons
was the favorite in the betting. although
DAILY had many strong supporters among
the Eastern delegation. Both Gibbons
and DAILY were under the stipulated
weight when they weighed in this after
noon, and were in prime condition. Glib
bons and his seconds entered the ring
about five minutes before DAILY. Little
time was lost in preliminaries.
Round l-Daly planted a stiff right
handler in the wind. Gibbons received
many stiff blows, and only hit back
when he got q good opening. Rounds
two and three We're not very ferocious.
In the fourth Gibbons showed decided
superiority over Daily, and simply
played with him, and in the fifth Gibbons
delivered two singing right-handers, and
the round ended in his favor.
During the sixth round the infghting
was furious. Gibbons forced DAILY all
around the ring. Gibbons sat on the
| ropes while Daily was on his knees. The

end of the twentieth.
During the next three rounds the men
were principally sparring for wind, and
very few blows were struck. In the
| twenty-fourth there were several ex-
change blows, and Daily went down, but
was up again in an instant. At the OPEN

again, and took the limit TO rise. after
which there was a terrific battle at short
range, followed by DAILY getting groggy.
Daily was down again in the twenty
sixth, and when he arose Gibbons landed
/ hotly. The following round Gibbons
was still rushing, Daily clinching, and
went down twice to save himself.
There was little fighting from this on
until the thirty-first round. At the open-
| ing Gibbons rushed and landed heavily,
while DAILY missed. They exchanged
good left-handers on the head. Gibbons
got in another, and Daily came back with
right swing on the jaw, both stagger-
! ing. Gibbons swung his right in on

HALLS ACTIONS COMMENTED ON.
NEW ORLEANS. March 7.-Pugilist
Halls unaccountable friendship for
/ Charley Mitchell is causing him to lose
some of his heretofore good friends. His
friend Warren Lewis has cut loose from
him on account of the alliance with
! Mitchell, and now John Kline, who
trained him so conscientiously, is feeling
sore over Halls apparent neglect in GO
ing away with Mitchell to-day, ostensi-
bly, to dinner, leaving his afternoons
work, and up to o'clock tonight Hall
had not returned. and Kline commented
on it bitterly. Hall returned later, how
ever. none the worse for the outing.
