Gus to the go between Dial Hawkins,
of this city, and Eddie Connolly, of
New Brunswick there was a prelimi-
nary bout between Tom Lansing and
Joe King. The fight lasted two rounds,
Lansing knocking King senseless with
a right-hand smash on the jaw. There
were only about a thousand people
present when the event of the evening
was called. The Hawkins Connolly
contest opened up at a fast clip, with
Connolly on the aggressive. In the sec
ond round Hawkins went to his corner
groggy, while Connolly had very bad
eye from Dal's left hook. From this
point up to the seventh honorS were
easy. Both men seemed willing to mix
it. and the mitigating usually end
ed in Hawkins favor.
At the end Of the seventh Hawkins
was again groggy from right-hand
smash on the jaw. Hawkins came up
strong for the eighth, however, and
went after his opponent. He forced
Connolly about the ring, using his ter
rife left-hand half swing with effect
on the Fasteners face and neck but
was unable to put 1t on the jaw. In
the tenth Connolly received a vicious
swing on the temple. which left cash
from which the blood flowed freely. The
eleventh and twelfth were Hawkins
rounds In the thirteenth Connolly rail-
lied and forceS Hawkins about the ring
In desperate attempt to end the fight
but the round ended with a hard left on
Connelly's face, which staggered him.

A GOOD STORY.

We describe below an occurrence, of re-
cent happening, in New Jersey town.
A butcher called for certain preparation
at his druggists, and was offered some mis-
cradle substitute. The price was held up as
an inducement for him to buy but the butch
er insisted ON having the genuine article and
got 1t.
Next day the druggist left an order for beef
with the butcher, who sent veal instead The
druggist, very angry at the supposed mis-
take of the butcher, gave him severe
lecture next time they met. The butcher
listened patiently, then said, "Mr. F., what
l sent you was beef, only it was little
younger than you have been used to get
ting"
Still more incensed, the druggist cried, do
you take me for fool don't you suppose
/ know the difference between beef and veal?
Possibly you do, Mr.. F., and have made
a mistake but is 1t not what you tried to
do, In offering me miserable substitute for
Ponds Extract?"
"Mr. B., you are right; this is a lesson
for which 1 thank you" said the druggist
thereafter people shall have just what they
aal for at nv store"
