Payne of Cleveland Knocked Out
in Two Rounds,
Boston Boy Won With the Greatest
Ease and His Western Rival
Was Jeered.

Long Island City, April 6.-The second
boxing bout of the Eureka Athletic Club
took place tonight. The principal contest
was between DOC" Payne of Cleveland
Ohio, and Dick O'Brien of Boston. II was
won by O'Brlen In two rounds. A rattling
good card was provided by the manage
ment.
The spectators all settled themselves
comfortably In their seats to await the
main event. There were quite number
of sports from Cleveland, Philadelphia and
Boston at the ring side to root for their
respective fancies.
There was not much money wagered.
What coin changed hands did so with the
odds slightly in favor of O'Brien. The
men entered the ring at 1O:4O and both
looked to be In fine condition.
When they stood up TO get the referees
final warning it was noticed that Payne
was taller than his opponent and had the
longer reach. They were announced 10 go
twenty rounds al 90 pounds.
Round Brien was the first to lead
with a swinging left on the neck. O'Brien
swung the right on the jaw and they
ciinched. O'Brien swung twice on the
jaw and staggered his man. Payne sent
light left OH the body. Payne danced
| round the ring like an animated skeleton
| and tapped his man lightly on the arms
o. Brien rushed and floored him when the
bell rang. After the gong changed o Brien
rushed at Payne as he walked TO his corner
anu struck him on the ear There was
loud cries of foul. but 1t was not allowed.
Round 2-OBrien rushed right at the
Doctor and chased him all around tbe ring,
flooring him three times. The Doctor
acted like a novice and the Gro wd teered.
O'Bnen kept after him and hit him with
| the left on the jaw. Then he pushed him
with the right and the Doctor went down.
Payne got up after the tenth count and
staggered on his feet, but the farce was
over and the referee waved the ambitious
aspirant for prize ring honors to his seat.
| The doctor made a perfect exhibition OF
| himself and did not seem TO know che first
! rudiments OF the manly art. It was medi-
| cine VS.. pugilism, as one Of the spectators
| disgustedly put it. and the doctor was dosed.
| The round lasted two minutes and thirty
| seconds.

BicYcles and Mad Dogs.

Another use has been found for the bicycle.
On one of the outer bouleyards q cyelist
recently perceived policeman driving
cart aud urging on the horse at rapid
pace. Upon questioning the constable the
wheelman was told that he was endeayorinG
toovertake a ra bid dog which had got ahead
of the trap. Borrowing the gendarme's
saber, the cyclist hastily mounted his ma
chine and sped away in pursuit of the en-
ragged animal On coming up with the dog
he charged it while still on his bicycle, and
had the satisfaction Of running the creature
through with his weapon, killing it on the
spot. The cyclists plucky action was much
applauded by the crowd that had been at
tracted by SO unwonted a sight.-LoDdon
