A DRAW ON POINTS"
No Knockout Nor Blood i'm Bezenah-
Murray Exhibition.

A crowd Of men so large that 1t packed
the Empire Theater from the pit to the top
of the gallery last night saw an exhibition
of boxing by Eugene Bezenah, of Coving-
ton, KY, and Jimmy Murray, of Cincinnati.
Jack Davis, of this city, the referee, at the
end of the ten rounds declared the contest
draw. Bezenah showed himself to be the
stronger and cooler man, but the contest
was for scientific points," and on that
basis the referee decided that neither man
had the better of the other. Its character
was mild.
Before Bezenah and Murray entered the
ring the spectators were amused by fight
between two men standing in barrels They
rolled and tumbled about in the ring in
rcugh-and-tumble way that delighted the
crowd. Then followed "a battle royal" be-
tween four colored boys. When Bezenah
and Murray crawled through the ropes and
stood with the lights full on them it was
clear that BeZenah was the strongest man.
Both wore only trunks and shoes Beze-
nah's body was smooth and Murray's
knotted with muscles. Bezenah was about
two inches shorter in height and reach than
the Cincinnati man, but he was heavier
built. All through the rounds Bezenah
forced the fighting. Murray was wary and
excited, but he was quick enough usually to
take advantage of his opportunities, and
many a skillfully delivered blow did he land

like bull stung with whip and kept on
the trail of his man, pounding him When
ever he could reach him.
Two of the rounds were cut short, appar-
entity, and it seemed that it was done be-
cause Murray was a little wavery. His face
was red and convulsed with his eXertion
during the last five rounds. Bezenah's face
was ever passive, and he seemed to perspire
little The mix-ups were lively. Bezenah
struck Murray in breaking away from
elinches several times, and once or twice he
hit him nearly too low to keep within the
rules, but, all in all, it was a fair exhibition.
Murray was just back from Hot Springs,
Ark, where he bested Jack OKeefe by put
ting him out in the twentieth round The
crowd applauded his quick work and also
showed its admiration for the quiet, deter
mined way in which BeZenah went after

cUBL,S GRAND OLD MAN.
,,cuerai CaIixto Garcia's Long Fight
for His Nat We Land.

Tor HIS Native
The death of Gen. Calixto Garcia re-
moved one of the most notable hgures
In Cuban history. M man had done
more for his native land than he. For
forty years he has worked for Cuban
freedom. struggling against poverty
and sacrificing his fortune and health,
and now that Cuba is free and has
thrown off the yoke of Spanish tyranny
1t seems IA pity that he could not have
lived longer TO enjoy the fruits OF his
labors. Gen. Garcia was nj the head OF
the commission that was sent by the
Cuban assembly to this country To CON
fer with the President on the future OF
the island. He had been in Washing
ton but a short time when death claim
ed him The change from the warm ell
mate of Cuba 10 the colder northern
climate was too much for his constitu IL
ton and pneumonia developed.
Gen. Garcia was born about sixty
years ago in Cuba. He studied to be a
lawyer. and when % started to prac-
tice his profession. Spanish tyranny,
however, was then being exercised III
It's most cruel form, and together Win
Carlos Manuel de Cespedes he started
the first movement of what was to be
the Ten Years War. From the very be
ginning he became famous. Town af-
ter town surrendered to the young war
rlor. His name alone was sufficient to
throw CONSERVATION into the ranks OF
an attacking Spanish battalion. He
won the stars Of brigadier general AT
Juguanl when with n mere handful OF
poorly clad and armed men he captured
The town with It's garrison and 2O,ooo
poptlatio When the provincial gov
eminent removed Gomez, Garcia sue
ceeded him.
The tide Of victory turned however.
Disease and hunger made strong In
roads Into the army of the struggling
Cubans. One by one the chief Cuban
officers laid down their arms and aban-
doned the field. But not so with Gen.
Garcia. Ten years of almost savage
life In the woods had not dmmed his
hopes, but on the contrary had served
to increase his hatred of the Spanish
Government. But at last, abandoned
by all save his famous guard now only
twenty strong, the brave young general
was surrounded one Monday morning
in September 1873, by more than 900
Spanlards One by one his followers
fell before the mcrciless showers of
bullets. The end was unavoidable; he
must become n prisoner of war To
Garcia. who had faced death daily for
years sooner than become once more
subject of Spain, this was unbear-
able. Rather than surrender he fired
