Creedon to the ropes. After this rally
Creedon was bleeding freely, and right
jab from Mccoy on the head sent Creedon
to the floor, but it was more of slip than
a knockdown. Creedon took his time In
getting up, and as he arose the gong
sounded.
Twelfth round-Creedon adopted rush
ing and landed a left hook on McCey's
head. In a clinch he repeated this blow.
Mccoy countcred with a hook on the
back of the head. Just then Mccoy
rubbed his gloves on his white trunks and
covered them with Dams blood. The Kid
jabbed left on the face and they clinched.
Creedon hooked a right on the head and
after the breakaway Dan swung left on
the face.
Thirteenth round-Creedon opened with
u rush and forced Mccoy to the ropes
without damage. Mccoy came back very
fast and sent in three left jabs on the
face and three rights on the ribs without
a return. A hard left on the wind made
Creedon grunt The New Zealander
The Kid swung heavy left on the head,
which turned Dams Uranium half around.
After light sparring Creedon put a left
on head and Mccoy clinched as the bell
rang.
Fourteenth round-Creedon rushed, but
Mccoy threw him off and forced Dan to
the ropes Mccoy jabbed a beautiful left
on the mouth and stopped lead for the
stomach. They exchanged left Jabs on
the face vice and Mccoy landed heavy
left ON Crcedon's nose, which sent Dams
head back and started his eye bleeding
again.
Fifteenth round-Creedon's eye was
fixed up with plaster and he looked any
thing but handsome when he came from
his corner. Mccoy provokingly kept jab-
bing his left on the stomach, occasionally
varying his tactics with jabs on the face
His advantage of reach was too great a
handicap for Dan. Mccoy in rush
uppercut with his left on the face and
hooked his right on the jaw, flooring
Gro don in his own corner. Dan took the
full limit to get up and then clinched.
Creedon was very weak when he went to
his corner, and was unable to respond
when the gong rang for the beginning of
the sixteenth round.
Choynski. seeing that his man was
beaten. threw up the sponge. and as he
did so, the spectators broke into cheers
and tried TO jump into the ring to hug
Mccoy The latter's brother threw his
arms around the Kids neck and kissed
him. Mccoy playfully resented this
salutatlon with a slap on che back. Nc
Coy as soon as the announcer cried
:. cCny wins" jumped across the ring
ana shook hands with Creedon, who &C.
knOwledged his defeat very good ma
turedly. When Creedon left the ring
he was greeted with many good wishes,
but Mccoy held a reception for fully
ten minutes before he retired to his
dressing room.
The purse was $500.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 49, It has devel-
oped that the bill relating to pelagic
sealing. which has just passed both
branches of congress and is before the
president, contains provision of far
reaching choice which has thus far es-
capped attention. This places an abso-
Lutte prohitation on the further bringing
of sealskins into the United States from
any source whatever. AS the United
States IS the largest market in the world
for sealskins. this complete stoppage of
the trade in this country will be Sc
we're usea IRE against the British and
Canadian IL ustries. which take and
C Ire the sHIits nd then dispose OF them
largely in tee United States.
When tn dill was proposed 1t was
generally upposed that the only pur-
pose was &c ltsohibit American citizens
from CARVING ON pelagic sealing. This
feature was the only one to attract at
tention during the discussion. at the
close of the bill, however, is section
which is not restricted to Americans,
but applies TO seal skins i'll general,
taken in the waters mentioned N this
act, winch includes the whole Pacific
ocean. The prov sion is as follows;
section :. Iuue the importation into
the United States by any person what
soever of fur seal skins taken in the
waters mentioned in this act. whether
raw, dressed. dried or manufactured. is
hereby prohibited and all such articles
imported after this act shall take effect
shall not be permitted to be exported,
but shall be seized and destroyed by
the proper officers of the United
States
Those who are thoroughly familiar
with the bill say this provision is of far
more Importance in its effect than the
prohibition against pelagic sealing by
Americans.

Modern Dentistry.

The dentistry Of the 10Th century
differs as much from the dental work
of Eye olden time" as the modern
safety bicycle does from the old
fashioned wheelbarrow. The latest,
most perfect and artistic dentistry
is known as crown and bridge work.
In this manner of inserting artificial
teeth, the old bunglesome, cumber-
some, filthy plate is done away with.
And it is to be regretted that so few
dentists thoroughly understand this
new departure in dentistry, especial
ly the older members of the profes-
sion who have not had the opportu-
nifty to learn crown and bridge work,
as it is only in the past few years
that the colleges give anything like
a thorough course in this new de-
parture.
Fully realizing this fact | have
taken special pains to fit myself in
every particular for this special work.
Not only through the dental college
but have recently taken two special
courses in this branch of dentistry
from those acknowledged to be the
best teachers. Come and see me. See
ing is believing. Ny prices are
right, my work is right, and you will
be more than pleased.

spondence which has passed between
Sir Wllfrid Laurier, the Canadian
premier. and General Foster, the
American negotiator, touching the seal

the first, dated Ottawa, Nov. "a, SiI
Wilfrid Laarier passes upon the propo-
sition from our government which was
taken back to Canada by him at the
conclusion Of the conference. He says
he is willing 10 enter at once upon a
review of the whole seal question
though the Paris award was made re-
visable only at the end of five years,
provided the other questions of import
ance to the two ountries-immigra
ton. reciprocity, fish protection, etc.
be considered at the same time. He
declines, however, to suspend sealing
meantime.
The second letter is from General
Foster to Sir Wilfrid. dated Washing
ton, Nov 20. General Foster says that
Sir Wilfrid's answer is q declination OF
his proposition and a renewal Of the
Canadian proposition made at the con.
ference, and the president declines to
