EXCELSIOR ATHLETIC CLUB.
Fropk Ely Of the Olympic Club
Wos Stopped by Henry Lewis
in Six Rounds

The Excelsior Athletic Club gave a
f1rst-class fstic entertainment last
evening in it's gymnasium, corner Of
Eighth and Folsom streets.
The four-round bouts were between
Frank Devine and J. McDevett; Joe
King of the San Francisco Athletic
Club and George Dixon of the Ex-
celsiors; Gerald Kelly of the Excel
siors and Charley Reno of the Man
hattans; Jim Sullivan of the Olympic
and Joe McGrath of the Vallejo Ath-
letic Club; Frank Sullivan of the San
Franciscos and George McCue of the
Manhattans; Joe Kennedy and Pat
Lynch.
After the only Dan Kemp sang few
of his own sweet songs, the event of
the evening was called. It was a six
round contest between Frank Ely, the
fat lightweight of the Olympic Club,
and Henry Lewis (colored) of the Elk
celsiors. The bout was very interest
ing, as in every round the boxers
fought from tap to tap of bell and in
the sixth round Lewis caught Ely a
right hand smash on the jaw which
sent the receiver to the floor. Ely re-
gained his feet after being down four
seconds and made a game stand, but
he was too much exhausted to ad-
minister any punishment to his OPP
ponent and went down a second time
on his knees from clip under the
chin. Before he had a chance to re-
gain his pins Referee Jim Kennedy
stepped between the boxers and de-
clared Lewis tbs winner.
The large crowd then dispersed very

STREETCeR COMPANY WINS
j. Howard Smith CoDnot Get His
Case IDto the
Courts.

The big street railroad action of ].
Howard Smith against the Ferries and
Cliff House Railway Company has at
last been decided by the Supreme
Court. in favor of the defendants,
who include w. H. Martin, John
Ballard, w. ]. Adams, Thomas Magee,
H. H. Lynch, John Jarboe and Thomas
Brown. The case has been before the
courts since December 10, 1892, and the
points Of law and equity involved were
so intricate and complex that even the
brightest legal lights Of the State have
not been able to arrive at an agree
ment. Even in the Supreme Court
there was a division of opinion. JUS
tice Harrison being dissatisfied did not
participate in the opinion. Justices
Garoutte, Van Fleet and Mcfarland
are of the opinion that the judgment
should be affirmed, and Chief Justice
Beatty and Justices Temple and Hen
shaw are of the opinion that the judg-
ment should be reversed. Repeated
consultations have demonstrated that
the said differences among the Jus
tices are permanent. For this reason
it was ordered by the Court that the
Judgment herein appealed from be af-
firrned.
