McCnY the Winner.

Last night $500 people saw Kid Mccoy
defeat Dick O'Brien at the Palace Ath-
letic Club i'm New York. Once before,
some two years ago. the two boxers met in
Boston where % rounds were fought 10 a
draw. but last night Mccoy easily proved
his superiority, though handicapped ny
the weight of his opponent and won In the
10th round.
Mccoy was by far the better ring gem
eral. and worked along In his usual cool
manner. lie supply wore down his oppO'
nent who, despite his gameness, was
outcla sd.
O'Briun was badly beaten, and the
action of the referee, Charlie White, in
awarding Mccoy the fight, was COM
mended by all who witnessed the mill.
@ Brien opened the first round with q
left on the nose. and Mccoy countered
lightly. Mccoy iabbed his left on the
wind, and swung his right on tho face.
They exchanged left jabs on the face.
Mccoy sent I'm his left twice quickly ON
tho stomach, and then sent right and left
on the same spot O'Brien's noso began
To bleed just then. and I'm a warm ex-
change at close quarters MoCoy sent his
right over on the side of the head aud
landed left uprorcut on the face.
O'Brien swung his right on the stomach
at tho close of the round.
At the outset Of tho second round,
O'Brien rusEc,i. swinging right and left
on face aud body, ana Mccoy assumed
the defensive. Afoer Mccoy was forced
to tho ropes lie broke away. and jabled
his left on the face and right on the body.

Harvard C-ew Lave In WEEK.

The personnel OF the Harvard Varsity
crew and substitutes has at last been
practically decided upon by the choice OF
men who were measured Tuesday for the
varsity boating clothes. The men were
Goodrich, Boardman, j. II. Perkins, 80;
j. ii. Perkins. 'gS; Sprague, Wrighting-
ton, Thomson, Marvin, Hollister, Bun,
Whitheck and McDufiie From these
probably the first eight will be selected,
the crew which Will row for Harvard in
the great race at Poughkeepsie June 20.
Besides the first eight named-who are
the men now rowing as the varsity eight
the last four will doubtless go to the
training quarters on the Hudson with the
varsity on June 2. In case j. III. Perkins
is incapacitated again by his trouble in
the side, his place will be taken by Hol-
lister.
The crew has been improving steadily
since the last change in the order, and at
present seems TO be rowing better than
ever before. It has reached the point
where Mr.. Lehman is sharpening up the
speed. In spite of the fact that this year $
stroke is So much longer than that of last
year. Mr.. Lehman expects the crew TO
be able TO row the race with as quick
stroke as heretofore

These Hungarian cowboys originally
descended from the powerful tribe OF the
huns, and are renowned for their skilful
horsemanship, while they have national
reputation as fighters
In 1000 for marvellous services as dying
cavalrymen they ware decreed by law 20
vnjoy all the privileges which were con-
tion from taxes .
For tho convenience OF those attending
the show, the following facts about the
Cslkos should be committed To memory
Csillos as word is furious looking
com mbination OF letters, but 10 IL pro-
nornced Cheekowsh.
Buffalo Bill thinks good deal Of these
expert horsemen, lassO throwers and
cowboys as an attraction for his show.
They are inhabitants of the plains lying
between the rivers Duna and the Tisza
In Hungary.
Their dress Is picturesque, much like
the "Gaucho" OF south Anerloa-wide
white baggy trousers, little sleeveless
jacket, blue or green shirt sleeves wide
at the wrist and small hat from which
hangs flowing bunch of yellow prairie
grass, like a blonde wig.
Their complexion Is brown and sun
burnt. They live In small huts OF mud
and wood except whom ON the plains,
when they camp out. They 500 little or
nothing of civilization. they are wild but
not quarrelsome. Very few of them ever
use "A saddle. They have all the instincts
of wild men. They prefer Co live on the
great open plains or their native country
They never get into any towns, and visit
only the small "czardas, or inns which
are dotted here and there about the plains
Ihoir exhibition Is u capital representa-
tion Of their skilful horsemanship, daring
bareback riding and fighting qualities.

PrOvidence's Easy Victory.

Providence is gradually shaking the
dust of the tail enders from her heels.
Yesterday they took another game at
Wilkes barre from the home team with
the grea test of ease. Coakley pitched the
first part OF the game for Wilkesburre but
was wild in his delivery and when he did
put the ball over the plato was batted
lard. As in the two previous games
Harry Lyons hit the ball hard aud often,
making "a total OF four hits. Cooney,
Knight and Drauty also hit hard.
Wilkesbarres' losing the game, however,
was not entirely the fault of her two
pitchers, but particularly due to the
ragged fielding and inexcusable errors of
her feeders. On the other hand Hodson
itched in good form and was well backed
up In the field
BY the end of the fifth inning Provi-
dence had q lead of 10 to and from that
on kept piling up tallies till the end
OF the battle in "a surprising way. Sum

In the mixun which followed O. Brien
swung his left on the nose, but drew no
blood, while Mccoy sent his left 10 the
face several times and made q Brlen bleed
freely from the nose.
u Both opened the third round with
slugging right ana left on the body. Nc
Coy watched his opportunity and got
o. Brien into corner and swung his
right and let on the face. Time was called
when the men had hardly boxed two
minutes in this round
AlcCoy started the fourth with left
jab on the nose, and O'Brien adopted
rushing tactics. Mccoy iabEed rights ON
body and face, and o. Brien swung hard
right on the head. Mccoy sent his left
again on the face anu at the end of the
round O'Brien landed half right upper
cut on the face.
O'Brien led off in the fifth with a left
on the face, and Mccoy sent in two lefts
on the stomach. Then he landed two
left iabs on tho face and swung his right
IN the ear. Mccoy kept jabbing his left
on the face and body. but left an open
ing, and O'Bren, seeing it, quickly
swung his left on the forehead, and tho
blow staggered Mccoy again. During
the remainder Of the round Mccoy kept
jabbing O'Brien with his left.
Mccoy sent his LETT half dozen times
on the body and face early in the sixth,
and warded of all of o Brien's leads. a
wicked jab from McCoy's left opened a
gash over o Brien's right eye, and IL he
gan to close. O'Brien swung his right
on the back of MoCoy's neck, and the
Kid again staggered, but pulled himself
together quickly aud kept Jabbing his lett
on the face continually until the call of
time.
Mccoy jabbed his left four times on the
face without return in tho seventh.
Then O'Brien rushed and landed right

Then he swung hard right on the Jaw,
which sont O. Brien backward. O'Brien
seemed To tire very much after this blow,
aud Mccoy lay for chance tu finish
him. o. 'Bricn rallied little and swung
his right on the neck, but the blow did
not seem To hurt Mccoy, who kept up his
jabbinR on body and face until the gong
sounded.
Mccoy had his mans measure taken
when he came up the ninth time, and
simply played with him. Repeated jabs
on the face pulled up o. 'Brien's left eye,
and both eyes were tnen in mourning.
Mccoy landed a right swing on the jaw,
which sent q Brien 10 the floor in "a

saved him from going out.
