A CLEAN KNOCKOUT.
by a Lightning Right Hand Swing on
the Point Of the jaw.

the Point OF the jaw.
San Francisco, Aug. 5.-Tom Tracy Of
Australia and Frank Mcconnell OF oak
land, CAL, met tonight before the olym-
pic HE club Of this city in the pres
ence of 5000 spectators. Tracy landed a
lightning right-hand swing on the point
of the jaw in the 18th round which fairly
lifted Mcconnell of his feet, and failing
TO arise when the prescribed 10 seconds
had passed. the Australian was awarded
the decision. The blow was a clean knock
out.
Mcconnell was a 10 to 6 favorite. The
fight prior to the sudden termination was
much in favor of the local lad. During
the first 10 rounds of lighting Mcconnell
was at all times the aggressor and though
his blows as a rule lacked precision. a
sufficient number landed on the Austria
lian's anatomy to perceptibly distress
him.
Tracy YVES very elusive and clever.
which stood him well In need AT critical
junctures. He tried repeatedly TO land a
a swing on the O~aklander, such as
brought the contest TO a close, and sever
al times went from one end of the ring
20 the other from the force of these et-
forts, but only once had ne succeeded In
landing.
Mcconnell maintained his advantage
until the 18th round. when Tracy changed
his tactics and In this round punished
the former rather severely. In the two
concluding rounds Mcconnell regained
his advantage and seemed to have the
contest well In hand. He grew careless,
however. in the final round and the Aus
tralisn suddenly shot his right out like a
fash. catching the oaklander just on the
point of the chin, knocking him down and
out. Mcconnell was fully Is seconds in re-
gaining his feet.

PIRATE OF FISH.
The BIuefish Is the Most viciOuA Rnd
Destructive of All the
Finny Tribe.

The greatest enemy TO the best
species of fish is found in the vicious,
voracious. and dangerous bluefsh. In
size, ordinarily long as your arm, with
teeth like barbs, lie can snap in halves
fish of his own size, and nearly all
fish stand in mortal dread of him. Cen
orally travelling in schools-sometimes
as much as five miles in length-they
will In short order decimate a school Of
shad. spot, menhnden or such like. In
his stomach can be found numbers of
smaller fish, according to size. We
have opened one which contained a
trout almost his own size, while another
contained a shad nearly as large. Still
others are found having within them
selves one or more of their own species
OF smaller size. We have seen them be-
hind a school of shad, spot, or men
haden. and sometimes schools of mack
erel and cod, swapping and slashing
their prey until the water was all afoam
They eat until they can hold no more,
but their viciousness is not abated.
With a snap a shad is surdered and
spit out, and the next shares the same
fate. They never tire, and the fish de-
stroyed. but uneaten, cover the surface
of the water.
Without question the bluefish is by
far the greatest factor ~ be reckoned
with. considering the preservation OF
our food fishes. hut mans effort seems
to be futile in his extinction or banish-
ment. Nets will not hold him, and only
the stoutest line (for he is game" In
every sense Of the word), protected
with metal about the hook. will with
stand his vicious swapping. The only
method by which he is procured fol
market in our waters is with hand lines
baited with menhaden. Hundreds o
New England fishing vessels commonly
termed 'downeaster smacks," are now
and will continue during the summer
and fall, fishing of our capes and in tn,
Chesapeake bay in this manner. Oul
own people do little or none of this lint
of fishing. The fish. when caught b,
these smacks, are iced in boxes and bar
rels, and from Cape Charles or SOM
other railroad point are shipped t,
northern markets. The numbcri
caught by these craft in comparison
with the myriads to be found at presen
in our waters do not count for any
thing, and yet hundreds of boats an,
thousands of men are engaged in the in
dustry.
II has long been a question amoni
our people il the benefits to be derives
from these northern visitors-in tn
way of reducing the number of blue
fish and the money they invest with on
people for bait and provisions-wil
equal the damage they do in tolling tn
bluefsh into our .-Richmon

SLAUGHTER OF SNAKES.
A Peculiar Custom Which Ia Observed
tn n Section of MaESa-
chusettH.

The young men of Byfeld are pre-.
pairing for their annual snake hunt
ing expedition. The custom of cele-
brating the advent of spring with a
grand reptile hunt is probably indi-
genous in this section alone, but it has
been followed here for many years,
and the sport has been participated In
by large company of young men. A
great many years ago company Of
young men who were vending their
way through a rough pasture many
miles from any habitation discoverd a
spot of remarkable beauty and stopped
there 10 rest. One of the party caught
sight Of q snake of unusual size, which
was no sooner dispatched with the
aid Of great stone than another was
seen gliding along the ground. In u
about in all directions, and the young
men discovered that they were in the
midst of den of snakes. The ground
was filled with snake holes, the win
ter abode of countless numbers Of the
reptiles.
The young men then rained stones
on the heads of the snakes until they
were tired, and then decamped, not
having lessened the number TO any per-
ceptible degree. Since that time, about
the middle of April. n party of men
arm themselves with shovels and cud-
gels and stones and raid the snake col
ony. Every year finds no diminution
in the number of snakes, and conse-
quently there is an abundance OF
sport" It is not everyone, however,
qho takes delight in this kind Of sport,
FOR the wriggling, Shiny creatures just
awakened from their winter torpor are
not pleasant looking customers. 1t is
not related that any woman ever took
part in any of these expeditions.
Sometimes a few hours of slaugh-
ter will accumulate nearly $50 feet OF
snakes. individual specimens in some
instances measuring six or seven feet.
