MCCOY ELECTED.
During the progress Of this bout
! there was connection in a box at the
! ring side. Kid Mccoy, the pugilist,
! who is to meet Peter Maher at Coney
Island next month, had gained admis-
! sion to the arena, disguised with false
| black whiskers and mustache. Some
| days ago Tom O'ROurke, manager Of
! the club, forbade Mccoy the privilege
| OF entering the club house, although
! the Kid had been engaged by q
morning newspaper to write the story
| OF the big fight. A careful watch had
! been kept by the men at the doors, to
| see that he did not get in, but he
! cleverly baffied their vigilance by his
| Disguise. When he took his seat at
| the rlngside Mccoy was recognized and
| removed his hiTsute appendage. Ser
| geant Armstrong, in charge of the big
force of police, commanded Mccoy to
| leave. He refused. Then Armstrong
and Detective Murphy caught him by
the arms and pushed him through the
y,
| protesting as he went. The officers left
! Mccoy at the entrance to the building,
! and he walked out on Lexington ave-
| rue. AS ne passed each door, on his
| way out. Mccoy demanded a pass-out
! check, and was accommodated. The
| incident caused a good deal of excite
| ment, but the spectators soon settled
| back in their seats, and forgot the lit
| tie episode

with a right cross on the jaw. Harris
! then went after his man and had him

| White stopped the bout then and there
| and awarded the fight to Harris.
! During the interval between the Har-
! ris-Roden bout and the arrival Of the
/ big fellows, betting of the lveliest kind
took place. Many big wagers were

ways whenever an opportunity offered
! Some of them were simply gambling on
