0clms
SANTA ANA, Feb. 26. Sunday, as
usual in this law-abiding city, passed
off very quietly here, and but little of
interest occurred. The various churches
were well attended, and some very able
sermons were preached.
Rev.. Watson's theme this morning
was, The Sins of the Human, and
while Mr.. Watson is not an eloquent
speaker, he is one of the clearest thinkers
and beet-informed men in the pulpit of
this city, and spoke to large congrega-
ton this day, delivering an able dis
course.
Rev. Willets occupied the pulpit in
the First Congregational church, his
subject being The Field of the Sluggard.
The First Baptist church was well at
tended both at morning and evening
services. In the evening the pastor,
Rev. Geo. E. Dye, preached short, but
pointed sermon on Gambling, the truths
OF which were appreciated by all pres
ent.
The union meetings at the Main-street
Methodist and Presbyterian churches,
evening, were also we'll attended, and
proved that the majority of Santa Ana's
people are interested in church WORK.
lie FoULED HIM.
About 200 sports congregated in
Reiser's opera house at Anaheim last
night to witness the fight to finish be-
tween Billy Kennedy of San Francisco
and @. W. Griffin, a colored pug from
Redlands. Before the event of the
evening came off there were a couple of
preliminary bouts between local fighters
of Anaheim and Fullerton, both being
very tame affairs.
When the two men who posed as the
drawing cards came on they were Justify
cheered, although it was plainly to be
seen that Kennedy was the favorite.
VIM. Schumacher acted a5 referee and
the Amerige brothers as time-keepers.
Both men we're in good condition and
very evenly matched as to size and build.
The first round was a very lively one,
Griffin forcing the fighting and plainly
showing that he was the better man of
the two. He raped Kennedy some
good ones in the face and knocked him
under the ropes, but time being called
the white man was saved.
The second round showed some fairly
good work by both men, although Griffin
had the best of it.
The third, fourth and fifth rounds
were very tame, the colored man rap
ping Kennedy several heavy blows with
his right, and landing once on the
Frisco sports face with such force as to
draw blood freely. The men clinched
often.
The sixth round was give and take,
although Kennedy was receiving more
of the taking than the Redlands pug.
In the seventh round Griffin landed
heavily on Kennedy's face several times
with his right. and to avoid punishment
Kennedy clinched Griffin. In the break
away he deliberately fouled the Red
lands man, and the fight was given to
Griffin.
1t is we'll for Kennedy that the fight
ended where it did, for he was no match
for Griffin. He showed considerable
sinew, but is not match for a really
good man.
The purse of $3.50 was divided between
the two, Griffin receiving 800.
