rn1rGHr IN TILE ORCHARD.

The many hundreds who cross the
Orchard" returning from work, were
last night the witnesses to an occur
renee that is somewhat out of the or
binary. The cause of the large gath
erIng was a prize fight in open air
The go was between Tom Mahon and
Charley Dangle, promising young fight
ere, and well known in amateur boxing
circles. Mahon fought Moran at the re-
cent tournament of the South Side
Sporting club. and he being the winner
he has received more than passing
notice from the other Of the galaxy of
the ambitious.
bangle and Mahon both work in the
North Mill, and have been talking fight
all week, but neither would agree to
the terms of the other or set a date.
At dinner hour yesterday the friends
of both came together and decided to
pull the fight off after work, and the
Orchard" was chosen as the most con-
venieut and cheapest place. According
ly the men and their friends reached
the scene as quickly as possible, ac-
companied by all of the employees of
the North Mill. A ring was drawn out
in a smooth place, stakes put down, and
ropes stretched. Dick Griffin was chos-
en- referee. and Michael Noll timekeep-
er. A dinner pail struck with a piece
of iron. was used for calling time.
The men. after having the advice
and suggestions of all their friends
thrust at them, went into the ring.
Gloves were not convenient, conse-
quently bare hands were used. In the
first round Mahon did the leading, and
| landed a terrific blow on bangles
mouth which brought first blood, and
| the crowd cheered. When Mahon in
! the same round, sent another heavy
| one that reached bangles nose, and
caused another spill of blood. 1t looked
| like n knockout for bangle. but in the
third round. he pounded Mahon around
the ring. and in the next two rounds
he aimed telling blows on Mahon's
neck and face.
The sixth round was started by
bangle being Knocked from his feet
and when he reached his feet he was
hit under his left ear. The blow daz
zled him and Mahon followed up his
advantage and at the end of the rount
he had his man groggy.
Someone during the intermission af
ter the sixth shouted police" and &
mad dash was made by the crowd, bu
it was II false alarm, and Mahon':
friends al,ege that one of bangles ad
nlirers sent in the alarm because i
looked as though bangle was a goner
The Tribune reporter saw Mahon afte
the fight was over, and he stated tha
he will challenge Dangle today for ;
finish fight.

ject assigned to him was The irish
Insurrection of 1898" Mr. O'Boyle is
q brilliant and an eloquent speaker,and
his masterful narration of the atroc-
tiles of that epoch in the history of
ireland was charmingly replete with
pathos and humor. He said that he
would rather not dwell too long relat-
ing the incidents of that time, but 1t
would be more pleasing to him and to
his hearers to listen to a discourse on
Irishmen as statesmen. soldiers, poets,
diplomats and litterateur. Mr. O'Boyle
went on at length and spoke of the
immortal fame Of Grattan. Emmett,
Goldsmith. Chatham and a host of
others wlosc deeds and works will live
on until the end of time He contrasted
Cuba with Ireland in its struggle for
freedom, and he brought laundering
applause when he said: ireland owes
no allegiance but to the stars and
stripes, the land of the free and the
friend of the oppressed"
Mr. O'Boyle told of Irshmen as pa
triots, and referred to the men of Irish
blood who lost their lives in the dis
aster of the battleship Maine. He was
again heartily applauded when he re-
marked that a bad Irshman made a
bad American citizen
The hall was decorated in an eX-
quste manner with the stars and
stripes. intermingled with the sham
rock and harp. Thomas Donahoe, ,presi-
dent of the st. Aloysius society, was
