 Athletic Club, Coney Island Nov 26.- There was good crowd at the arena of the Athletic club, Coney Island, to- night to witness the boxing contests. The club presented an inviting pro- gram and many prominent sporting men were in attendance. The first bout was between Maxey Haugh and Eugene Garcia, both clever 112 pound- CTS from Brooklyn: They were most admirably matched in height, reach and strength and had they been fight ing to finish their efforts would have been better appreciated, but as their bout was limited to six rounds the spectators grew rather tired of science and showed by their demonstrations that they would prefer seeing a little slugging. There was no sign of blood on either man, and their work although clever was for the most part decidedly tame. The referee called the affair a draw.
 The next was a contest of eight rounds between Billy Vernon of Haver- straw and Bobby Dobbs of Minneapolis at 135 pounds for a purse of $500. In the first round Vernon scored a knock down and had the colored man bleed- ing at the mouth. Some hard blows were exchanged in the second round The colored man had the longer reach, while Vernon was the more scientific of the two.
 In the third round Vernon slugged his man in great shape and 1t looked like his fight. In the fourth round however, Vernon lost his head com pletely in his eagerness to vanquish Dobbs. The fighting was so rapid that both men were falling from the force of their own blows when they failed to land. Inspector McKelvey stopped the fight, but then permitted it to go on. The men had scarcely steadied them selves when Vernon made another rush, banging his opponent with both right and left, only to be met with vicious left handler that sent him to the floor like log. It was a clean knockout and Dobbs was declared the victor.

They fought for purse of $2,500, winner to take all. The men had to weigh in at the ringside at IA pounds and they were both down to weight. In the first round Kelley led and missed. Trimmer landed a hot right on Kelley's face. Trimmer sent a hot right on Kelley's wind and got light left on the face in return. Kelley did not seem to be able to land and several of his leads fell short. Plim- mer jabbed his left on Kelley's face three of four times without return. Kelley was wild and was not able to land with effect. ,f,.
 In the second round Trimmer planted his left on Kelley's mouth and trotted back, laughing as he got away from Kelleys vicious swings. Trimmer kept up his jabs on Kelley's mouth, while he would by way of variety swing his right on his damaged face with telling effect. The bout was so completely one-sided that many of the ring veter ans got up in disgust and began to walk toward the door.
 In the thlrd round Trimmer jabbed his left and right on Kelley's bleeding nose. He continued his jabbing and soon had Kelley at his mercy, hitting him when and where he liked. Kelley was clearly outclassed and after fight ing one minute and thirty-five seconds the police stopped the fight and the referee awarded the bout tt Plim-
