 The association is to be commended for beginning the entertainment promptly and enabling out of town guests to see the star bout and get their train, course not usual in some excellent en- terprises of the kind. Henry Janswick's vocal selection and encore followed Pro- lessor Hogben's ovreture, which began at s:3o.
 Ed Goodbody of New York and Jim Johnson of Brooklyn then clashed for six rounds at 115 pounds. Goodbody led the oftener, but Johnson's clever counters entitled him to the draw an- nounced.
 George Sanford favored with vocal selection and responded to an enthusfas- tic encore.
 Dick Maroney of Meriden next met JACK bOWler or waterbury TOT the pam tam-weight championship of the state. Maroney looked heavier and stronger. Bowler drew first blood, but Maroney drew more and oftener and got the de- cision. The bout was sanguinary enough to suit the most exacting and both fighters were applauded at the f1n- ish.
 P. Mccarthy sang the last song of the evening, after which Jack Moylan of Jersey City came on with Jim Kelly of New York for six rounds at 11S pounds. Moylan tried three upper-cuts, with no success, but led so consistently that despite the fact that Kelly showed less damage they divided the purse.
 Messrs Schlissel and Horn gave an exciting broadsword contest with no de- cision after which four-handed bat tle-royar' concluded the prelminaries to the star bout which began at Il o'clock with Marty McCue of New York and Billy Needham of St. Paul facing each other at 12S pounds. Kid" McPart- land was in Needham's corner.
 The ten rounds were very interesting but McCue had all the best of them and was given the decision.
