BOTH FOUGHT HARD.
A Most Interesting Battle Between Grinn
 and George Dixon. aaN.

Boston, Aug. 27.-George Dixon. champion featherwefght of the world. this evening at the West Newton street got a decision over Johnny Grimm club after a stubborn batttle lasting twenty-five rounds. At the conclusion of the twenty-fifth round both were as fresh as when they entered, but ow- ing to an agreement made by the men before the fight that a decision should be given, Dixon was declared the Win-s ner on points. The police were present in force, butt no occasion to interferes Dixon showed himself to be Griffln's superior in every respect. The latter's pluck in taking punishment was admir- | ed by the spectators.
 In the second round Dixon got Grif@ l fms nose to bleeding. He continual | ly swung his left for Griffin's jaw and landed frequently, Griffin being quite groggy in the fourth round. In the seventh round Griffin was more suc- cessful in meeting Dixon's swings and got in some telling blows. making Dixon more cautious.
 In the ninth Dixon made a regular
 chopping block of Griffin and the lat- ter went to his corner breathing hard. | Griffin got in but one blow in this round.
 1 Tn the thirteenth and fourteenth Grif- fin rallied and did some effective work- In the seventeenth Griffin received a stinging blow. The eighteenth was slightly in Griffin's favor, who landed frequently on Dixon's face and neck, Griffin appeared the fresher. In the next | two rounds Griffin appeared to advan- | tage, while both men seemed freshs Griffin forced matters in the twenty- l first round, and the round was decid- edly in his favor. In the twenty second only an occasional blow was struck
 Dixon sent in two straight lefts on Grif- | fms jaw in the twenty-third, and had
 the best of the round. Both fought cau- tiously in the twenty-fourth, and no
 hard work was done. When the twen- l ty-fifth was called the men went at one another fiercely.

TO IMPROVE TOWN ROADS
SELEoIMEN TO CHOOSE THE RO4D
 TO BE IMPROVED.

Advantage to be Taken of the New Law Various Highways Proposed-Must Set
 Back Trolley Poles--A Bounty Ciaim-- Other Notes From the Selectmen's Meet ing.
 There was meeting of the board of
 selectmen last night and the first bus-
 mess in hand was the selection of tha
 road which was to be improved under
 the new law, which places the cost of
 such improvement equally on town.
 county, and state. The sum of sS0OO is
 to be expended and Selectman Brown
 favored the improvement of some road
 in Westville. Town Agent Baldwin
 stated that it would take two days Of constant travelling to decide which
 road would be the best to put in good condition.
 It was finally decided for the board to | take trip next Tuesday afternoon at
 o'clock and decide which road should
 be operated upon.
 By a vote of the board the trolley
 poles upon Tomlinson bridge and ap- | breaches must be set back in line with the railing.
 The second petition from a veteran
 for back bounty was received from
 Andrew J. Barnes, soldier who enlist ed in 1862, served throughout the war
 and never received cent of his bounty
 due. His claim amounts to $1,355.13.
 and he is represented by Deming 6
 Futile The claim was referred to the l finance committee.
 Selectman Cunningham stated that he understood that Town Agent Bald-
 win had ordered work stopped on the
 sea wall near Tomlinson bridge with- | out consulting the road and bridge cprn- l mittee.
 MT. Baldwin stated that such was the
 case and that he had stopped the work | after a conference with the city en- | gineer, when 1t was decided that 1t was for the best interests of the town that ! the work should cease for the present. Every member of the board was pres. ent at the meeting, and at 915 the board adjourned,
The daily morning journal and courier., 1895-08-28

The roll was then called and the con clave adjourned until 10 o'clock to- morrow morning.
 Notwithstanding the great crowds on the streets the number of accidents has been small and with two excep- tions, which were not directly tracea- ble to the big parade, the results have not been serious. Two children In diff ferent portions of the city were run over by heavy teams and killed, the driver In one instance being placed under ar rest.
 The police report that they have never before been called upon to han
 dle so large a gathering of humanity
 and with very rare exceptions there
 has been little reason to complain of
 the work performed by them. a@ The Red Cross arrangements for prompt medical attendance in case of casualties along the line were admira- ble. but the attaches did not report a single fatality and but one or two cases that were any way serious.
 During the latter part of the after noon and into the night the rush of
 knights and sightseers was something | tremendous and every steam railroad line and electric line was taxed to the utmost to convey the vast throngs. Of course the communicates from out side New England will to a great ex- | tent remain here several days longer and their headquarters are the scenes
 of joviality and good fellowship from early morning till early the next morn | ing. California. Ohio and Pennsyl- vania seem to stand at the top of the l list of generous entertainers.
