1t Was Hot contest.
New York, Jan. 30.-Jimmy Barry. of
Chicago, and Sam Kelly, of New York,
boxed a very fast and scientific twenty
round draw at the Broadway Athletic

after the first round, but was nearly out
with a left swing on the jaw in the fifth.
He revived wonderfully, however, and
forced the pace after the eighth round.
Kelly showed remarkable cleverness and
his advantage of height, weight and
reach stood him in good stead
Barry put up a good battle and many
of the spectators thought he had a shade
the better of the argument, but ii was a
very even thing and the decision of the
referee was a draw.
The betting was 500 to $50 on Barry.
There were about $500 people present
when Barry and Kelly got in the ring
at 10 o'clock. Barrys seconds were Joe
Choynski, George Dixon and Bob Arm
strong.
Kelly was locked after by Larry Burns,
Paddy Moran and Frank Peabody.
Dick Roche was referee and Jim Law
ellie tme-keeeper.
Kelly had the advantage of height.
reach and weight.

CYCLING,

Cyclists who prefer the high handle-
bars should always be sure that there is
sufficient length of tube to prevent them
coming out suddenly when the pressure
is applied. While climbing hill the
pull on the bars is very great and bad
accident may occur through negligence
in this respect. The steering bar should
also be carefully attended to. Care
should be taken to have the steering
pillar adjusted sufficiently tight to pre-
vent it turning in the socket. Failure to
do this is the cause of so many COM
plants about ability to steer quickly and
stiffiy.
Bullfghting in Spain has taken a
back seat since the invasion Of the

Cadiz was given over to a cycle meeting
and clerks and shopkeepers of the town
took an active interest. About twelve
thousand people were present, which is
more than ever watched a bullfght, and
when it is taken into consideration that
Cadiz has a population Of only twenty
thousand, it seems that the bullfghting
pastime has strong rival in bicycle rae
ing and that it is more acceptable.
