when the gong sounded and each sprang to the center of the ring. 0'Donnell was utterly on the defen. sive, and it was duck after duck with him as Kayanaugh attempted to land heavy punch. In the first round Kavanaugh got Gin one" on O'Donnells nose which brought the ''claret" This seemed to nettle ODonnell, for in the second and third rounds he planted several stiff ones on Kavanaugh's nose and knocked little peeling therefrom. Kavanaugh forced the fighting and did his utmost to pen O'Donnell In a corner so that he could land a knockout, but the little man had been in the ring too often, and he successfully dodged all punches and swings, and when Kavanaugh pressed him too closely he planted several jabs himself, which made the big man quite ''leary" for time.
 The eighth round arrived and still Kayanaugh had done nothing, so he began to rush O'Donnell, and this resulted in give and take" affair, in which Kavanaugh got the most of the taking; however he landed a swing en O'Donnell's neck which staggered him for moment.
 The tenth round was "hot one. ]" O,Donnell now felt confident that he could not be knocked out and he be. gan to lead the fighting and that, too, with so much vim that when the gong sounded at the close of the round Kavanaugh was heartily glad to take rest, for he had gotten much the worst of the round.
 The referee announced that 1O'Donnell had won the fight and the cheers which followed the an nouncement were deafening.

O'DONNELL MON,
HE WAS TOO MUCH FOR KAv- ANUGH, WHO COULD NOT
 LAND A TELLING BLOW.
The Contest One of the Most Scien- tifc and Interesting Ever
 Witnessed.

O'Donnell, of Memphis, and Kay anaugh, of Brooklyn, New York, fought before a large audience in the arena of the Pine Bluff Athletic Association Monday night, and the fight was decidedly the most inter- esting witnessed here in many days.
 After several preliminaries, the contestants of the evening entered the ring and both were greeted by cheers.
 Mr. John Portis, the official referee of the club, being absent the ques- tion of choosing referee by the con- testants came up, and Shadow Maber was selected by both men to act in that important position.
 The time keepers and seconds having been selected, the referee gave his instructions, warning the men to ''break away" on command and announced that as he under stood the fight, it was to be under the Marquis of Queensburv Rules; that Kavanaugh had undertaken to ''stop" O'Donnell within ten rounds, or earlier if possible; and failing to do this he was to be the loser. At the conclusion of the referees re- marks the contestants took their re- spective corners, for moment,
