DIXON MEETS HIS MATCH

WITH GRIFFO WITH no RESULT.
A beautiful Exhibition of Scientific Box

for Creedon at Galveston.

SEASIDE ATHLETIC CLUB, COMFY
ISLAND. n. Y, jan 19-The sporting
fraternity from all sections OF the couh-
trv gathered here in large numbers To-
night 20 see the pugilistic contest between
the two greatest featherweights OF the
world-Albert Critic, better known as
Young Critic, Of Australia, and George
Dixon, of America, champion teatheF-
weight of the world. Both men have re
markable records as pugilists' and bit
ter feeling Of rivalry has existed between
them ever since their twenty-round draw
in Boston. June q. 1891.
Their contest tonight resulted In an
other draw. and is described by thote
who witnessed II as one Or the most
scientific that has ever taken place In
this country. Dixons seconds were Tom
O'Rourke. Jack Havlin and Maurice kel-
". Dixon weighed 126, and Critic clalmee
TO weigh l29 pounds, but he looked more
as If il was 1879 pounds. The seconds OF
Critic were Mike Dunn and PADDY Cor
man, OF Australia, and Benny Murphy' vi
England. The men went promptly 70
work as soon as they faced each other.
Both were full of fight, but extremely
scientific. and their work was quick and
sharp Dixon was overanxious. and forced
the fighting at a tremendous pace. Critic
was cool, and depended almost entirely
on his clever ducking and straight left
hand punches. Ii was beautiful exhi-
bition of scientific boxing by two OF the
cleyerest opponents of the prize ring in
the country With all their fierce fight
ing. neither man succeeded in drawing
blood, and the only indication of a fight
was Dixons pulled and swollen eyes from
Critics straight left-hand punches There
was not a mark on Critic to show the
effects of his punishment, although DIXON
hit fully five times 10 his once In the
twenty-fourth round. Dixon's cheeks
were badly swollen and bruised.
In the twenty-ftth, and last. round
Dixon was desperate. and he fought like
a tiger. doing nearly all the leading,
but he could not knock the triumphant
smile from off Griffos face. The Austria
liam only hit few left-handed blows In
this round. as he was on the defensive
and spent his time In avoiding punish
ment. The crowd was Wild WIN excite
ment when the round ended, some call

When the referee decided the contest q

could be given under the circumstances.

First round. Creedon led swiftly and
landed in the face twice. when the m~l

Creedon's face. Cre2don returned and
landed twice on the shoulders. Berneau
got in two heavy chest blows at close
rarge. Berneau led wildly and missed,
and Creedon drew the first blood, from
Berneau's nose. Berneau reached for
the Australians chin and got there, but
Creedon landed on the stomach and Ber-
neau went to the floor winded but still
i'm good spirits. The German took adj
vantage of the count till time was called,
and then got up and landed in the pit OF
Creedon's stomach. which made the Aus

on the chest. The round ended in Cree
don's favor. with both men hghting.
Second round. The men began spar

on the point OF the jaw and fell 70 the
floor, unable to rise. Neither man was
seriously hurt.
Creedon jumped through the ropes

his undoubted convictions. Nobody who
heard him could have questioned for a
moment his absolute sincerity, the COM

the very embodiment of candor, benevo-

seemed to DO animated with tho highest
purpose, the purest of motives.
Llncoln's subject was, OF course,
"Slavery," the one, the absorbing ques-
ton Of tho time. He treated it in the
calmest, fairest, most unimpassioned
manner. though tho habit of the day,
both north and south, was to look at it
altogether sectionally and to discuss it
for the most part with ardent bias and
temper.
He pointed out clearly, as remember.

try; that slavery was as inconsistent
with freedom in tho north as it was
with freedom at home. Whatever
slavery might he morally, and he de.
