Westervelt, Fuller and Burke out of the
fold at present. Manager Davis was au-
thorized to make the amount of Meekin's 8

Mike Raedy's Benefit.
A large and enthusiastic gathering at
tended the athletic performance for the
benefit of Mike Raedy, the heavyweight
pugilist, at Forrest Hall, on 32d street, last
night. The program included eleven spar
ring bouts. Several of them were very
good. Lieut.. Swindells was present with
several policemen. He announced that he
would stop the entertainment at the first
evidence of brutality. He did not find &C.
casion, however, for any interference. The
opening bout was between Brown and
Duvall, colored. 1t lasted one round and
a quarter, when Duvall quit. An exhibit
ton bout was then given by ORourke
and Quin. white, followed Gby an exciting
four-round contest between Jayne and
Robinson, colored middle weights.
Mr.. Nodine Of the Canterbury Athletic
Club, the referee, declared it a draw, hut
it was clearly evident that Jayne had the
best Of it. Hugh Lyon and Jim ONeil,
white, spared four rounds to draw, and
Boucher, white, and Helms, colored did the
same. although the last named had much
the better of his bout. Saw got the ce-
cision over Grady, but there were many
who thought he was not entitled to 1t.
Parker and Dixon, colored, mixed 1T up
for three rounds, with the odds in favor Of
Parker.
Tatem Kenny and Joe Bateman. white
feather weights, were scheduled to spar
lOur ROUNDS, ana cOnSlQeTdDle interest was
shown in the event. 1t lasted only part CT
one round, but that was sufficient to dem
onstrate the vast superiority Of Bateman.
Kenny was knocked sprawling with hard
right on the point of the jaw, and, al
though he desired to continue. the referee
gave the fight to Bateman amid great ap-
plause.
The best contest of the evening was be-
tween Charles Holcomb, champion middle
weight. and Howard Wilson, champion
light weight Of the District. The latter put
up good fight for five rounds, but was
clearly outclassed. and would not have
lasted so long but for the fact that Hol-
comb was restricted to the use Of one hand,
his left arm being sprained, as a result of
recent encounter. The fight was given to
Holcomb.
Two colored feather weights, Banks and
Jackson, gave the best exhibition of scien-
tific sparring of the evening Their bout
was declared a draw. Many however,
thought that jackson had done the more
clever work. The entertainment closed
with an exhibition bout between the bene-
ficiary and his brother Pat Raedy.
