RESULTED IN A DRAW.
DREW FAILED TO KNOCK OUT
THE TERRIBLE swEDE.o
The Fight Hot One From Start to
Finish Interesting Pre-
liminaries.

The Pine Bluff Athletic Associa
ten has pulled off another fight
1t took place last night, and it was
a butte The attendance was large,
yet order was perfect and there was
nothing to mar the evenings sport.
To witness the preliminaries was
alone, worth the admission price, to
say nothing of the fight of the even
ing, and it may confidently be as
serted that not a person present
went away from the arena dissatis-
fed.
Promptly at $50 Referee Ports
entered the ring and announced that
the first event on the program would
be a three-round 90 between John
Huggard and Tom Kayanaugh. This
was purely scientific exhibition.
Ka5anaugh is a professional pugilist
of ability, while his opponent is a
local amateur who has few superiors
in men Of his weight.
The next event was a four round
30 between Billy O'Donnell and
Country These men are deserv-
edly great favorites ia Pine Bluff
sporting circles, for they always
put up good fight They we're
heartily applauded.
Following came a 7battle royal"
between four negro boys. This was
indeed a ludicrous spectacle. The
awkward and ungainly attitudes
taken by the Africans as they ham,
mered each other about the ring was
enough to make a sphinx laugh, and
the laughter Of the audience was up
roarious.
At the conclusion of the battle
royal Referee Ports entered the
ring, closely followed by the com
batants of the eyening-Joe Drew
and John Lawson, the Terrible
Swede The men were evenly
matched in size and reach. The bot
tle-holders were Fitzgerald and
Billy O'Donnell; those for the Swede
were Kavanaugh and Ward
The gong sounded and the com
oatants advanced to the center of
the ring, shook hands and the battle
was begun. 1t was a fierce and hot
one, with Drew leading. Lawson
certainly deserves the title he bears
the Terrible 6wede-and we pre-
sumo it was given him because of
his ability to stand such a terrible
amount of punishment without
Last night Drew fully
tested the Swede's powers of endur-
ance, for he pounded him all about
the ring, and received but few blows
in return, but he was unable to get
in Knockout blow
AT the end of the fifteenth round,
both men being on their feet and in
fairly good condition, Referee Por-
tbs declared the fight draw.
The next fight to take place will
be on Thanksgiving night. The
will be Shadow Ma
Der, champion of Australia, and
Prof. Billy Layton, champion Of
New York This will be the best
fight ever pulled off in Arkansas.

II is now said that Mckinley will
have a policy. Yes, doubtless he
will; and this policy will be out
lined by such men as Hanna, ].
Pierpont Morgan, Rockefeller,
ct al. In regard to Mckinley and
his policy the ST. Louis Republic
tells the truth when it says:
Mckinley, as man, may may
not be naturally conservative.
Whatever he is, he is not masterful
enough to construct or execute a
policy. He has always been an in
strument of stronger men and al
ways will be. The policy OF
the next administration
will be what the league makes it.
The only chance for conservatism
is in the legislative branch. Don't
talk of Mckinley and conservatism.
