referee was announced and then the two kids were ordered to shake hands, which they did. Time was called and the boys went at it for four rounds.
 Ist ROUND. Smith led with smart blow on the Dago's face and one on his head, and gets one in return. Dago backs off and gets several in the face. Smith pushes the fighting and shovcs the Dago to the rope with a rush. Dago comes back with a stag gering blow on Smiths face. Dago'S eyes show punishment. Round closes with houors pretty even.
 2nd ROUND. Kid gets good blow in on Smiths face and Smith lands lightly with his left. Kid, braciug up, lands on Smiths face, which gets red. Round closes about even.
 3rd ROUND. The boys jumped iu- to the center of the ring and com menccd begging away in great shape. It was a hot number. They clinchcd but on command broke away. Then stood up and were more cautious and neither made a good hit until round closed with houors even.
 4th ROUND. Smith gave the Dago a tap on the right check and following up the blow rushed the Dago onto the ropes in his own corner. Smith reach eel for the Dago's neck and made a good landing. Smith made another pass with his right, but missed and fell down. Smith landed several blows on the Dago's face and the round ended with honors even and referee decided it a draw, which was a very just decis- sion.
 The boys handle the gloves well and each one did his best. Smith was the lighter of the two, but he rushed the fighting. The Kid is not as quick as Smith, but he held his own all the way through. Smith seemed the more tired of the two when the bout closed.
 At the close of the contest between the Kid and Smith Babe" Chaney did some dancing to the time of the music of the orchestra which was fine and turned the crowd wild with enthusiasm.
 There is something about dancing that pleases everybody, and it don't make any difference whether it is a man or woman. Good clog or skirt dancing never gets old and never will. The artist, for Babe" is an artist in dancing, was handicapped by the resin which had been sprinkled on the floor, and she made it short dance.
 The people were drawn to the Douglas City Music Hall to see Mclaughlin and Gallagher and the time had ar rived for their appearance. Of course everybody knew that Kid Gallagher was a good one, but Mo was unknown, no one seemed to know anything about him.
 It was l2:l0 when hld GalIagher dlu Mclaughlin took seats in the ring. Gallagher had won the toss for cor ners and took the one most distant from the door. Jack Fletcher was cho- sen referee and each contestant named a time-keeper.
 Shake hands," said referee Fletcher and the two fellows advanced to the center of the ring and obcyed the or der.
 1st ROUND. Time was called and the first part of the round was a hot number. Both men got in their work very rapidly. The Kid would tap Me. on the face and Me. would return the compliment. Both men landed good

TIE GLOVE TOURNAMENT.
Douglas City Selected as Place of Meeting. Mclaughlin and Gal lagher, and DagO Kid and John Smith Give Fine
 Exhibitions.
GALLAGHER WINS ON A FOUL,

During the early part of the week handbills were distributed in Douglas City and Juneau announcing that a glove contest would take place i'll this city on Wednesday evening at the Douglas City Music Hall. In the amusement line the two cities have really been very quiet this winter, and news that such an event was to take place was received with considerable satisfaction. There are many objec- tions that can be urged against bru- tai prize fight. and, of course, some peo- ole object to even the most refined glove contest; but in the exhibition given last Wednesday evening close observation of everything that took place failed to develop anything of all objectionable nature. The people at tending were not all sports by any means. and some of the best people in both cities were there to witness the sparring.
 Gallagher and Mclaughlin came over from Juneau on the 4:45 boat. There were also many others that came on the same boat to witness the contest. The 0:15 ferry from Juneau was crowd ed and not a few brought women with them to see the fun, for of late years it is considered all right for ladies to at tend glove contests. Of course Tread well, the Mexican, Ready Bullion and Seven Hundred each sent a large dele gation and by 10 o'clock it was pretty lively around town.
 The Standard was the principal ren- dezvous for the crowd, but they kept coming and going between that place and the Douglas, where the exhibition was to take place.
 Tickets were in good demand at $2.5O each, and little after half past ten ticket holders commenced filling up the chairs and benches around the ring.
 c. Mclaughlin, one of the contest ants. is a native of Florida, thirty-fve years of age, five feet ten inches tall, and weighs 16O pounds. He has been in Alaska for the last seven or eight months and until few days ago was employed at the Ready Bullion as an electrician. He came from Tacoma to Treadwell, and expects to soon leave this place for either Atlin or POrcu- pine. He never engaged in prize fight or even a public contest with gloves, except in the Athletic clubs and gymnasiums in his native state. He is a pleasant appearing fellow, and from the talk the News man had with him we should say he is man of edu- cation and refinement. He has known his opponent for about two weeks and there is no bad blood between them. Mclaughlin had for his seconds, Smith, Broughton and Hall, who are also from Tacoma and personal friends of his.

blows on the face and body. One of the latter near the end of the round surprised Me. very much. lIonors about even
 2nd ROUND. Me lands with his right on the Kids face. He tries to re- peat but falls short Again he lands on the Kid and the Kid went down on the floor and Me laughed. Nc landed hard on the Kids head and for while just pounded him on the head and ho seemed to enjoy it. They clmchcd and the Kid wont down on the ropes. This round was notorious for clinchcs and the referee had trouble in keeping them apart. The round ended with about an even show down, little in favor of Me if there was any difference.
 3rd ROUND. Me led the fighting and the Kid was on the defensive. Me landed on the Kids face and he tried Co rctaliatc, but his blow fell short and from the force of it he fell to the floor. There wasn't much done in this round, but such as it was, was in favor of Me.
 4th ROUND. Me. landed body blow with his right, then landed one on Kids face followed by two more. The Kid slipped and fell under the ropes. The Kid landed good and hard on Mes face and after fid- ding round the ring and laughing the round ended with honcrs about even.
 5th ROUND. Me landed on the Kids face three or four times. He did some fine floor work in this round. The Kid lands three good blows and Me return ed the compliment. Me was surprising his friends with his shiftiness on the floor and the work he was doing.
 9th ROUND. Me landed on the Kids face. The Kid warns up and lands blow after blow on the head and face of Me. Good. says Me and gave the Kid a left jab in the face, and the round ends with things nearly even.
 7th ROUND. This round started with pair of good taps on the Kids face by Me Kid landed hard on Mes face and slipped and fell backwards. The Kid again lands on Mes facc and body getting the benefit. Me. retail ates with some daisy landings and it was Mes round.
 Sth ROUND. Me lands his right and left on the Kids face, follows it up with a light tap and once more catches the Kid in the same place, Then they become cautious and do no effective work for some time. The Kid breaks the monotony by punching Me in the face and Me says good" Then they fiddled around to the end of the round and honors were about even.
 9th ROUND. Me. spatted Kids face and both exchanged blows of all kinds in rapid succession. Me. gets a punch that sends him onto the ropes. Me. lands on the Kids body and the Kid gives him oue better and lands heavily on Mes face and body. It was nip and tuck, probably little in the Kids favor
 10th ROUND. The Kid starts things rolling with a good body blow on Me, and follows it with one on the head and another on the face, and then rush es his big antagonist into the Kids cor ner. They spar for an opening. The Kid gets it and lets fly on Mes head and body. Me looked tired and the round ended decidedly in favor of the Kid.

WHILE WAITING

the Standard Orchestra dispensed some music that was very agreed ble to the large crowd that was seated and stand ing around the ring. For change one of the Standard girls gave skirt dance that pleased the audience very much. The dancing was of the best while the kicking was tout of sight The crowd clapped their hands and cheered in such an enthusiastic manner that it left no doubt of the appreciation of this part of the entertainment.
 At 11:4O the master of ceremonies announced that a bout would take place between the Dago Kid and John ny Smith. The Kid smiled while he sat in his chair; he Is most innocent looking fellow. He is a blacksmith's helper and is only twenty or twenty one years of age and weighs probably 12O pounds. Really, those who looked at him for the first time expected but little from him.
 Smith is smaller and younger and weighes probably five, or perhaps ten pounds less than the Dago Kid. He wore brighter look and was the fla vorite of the crowd. He showed by his face that he didn't lack in nerve and grit, and the crowd was in no way dis appointed in him.

Kid Gallagher, the other principal, is twenty-scven years of age and was born at Nortonville, California, He has been in Alaska for the past fifteen months and has put in his time mining and prospecting. He is five feet nine and one-half inches high and weighs but l45 pounds, being one half inch shorter and fifteen pounds lighter than his adversary. The Kid has had con siderable experience in the ring and he has been, with only slight exceptions, q dead winner. In all he has won thir- ty-seven contests, had three draws and suffered one defeat. which was in 1896. He was formerly sparring partner of Dol Hawkins. who was hard man to beat in his class. The Kid, it will be remem brred, defeated Charley John son at Anacouda, Mont.. in 1893, Ed. Burke at Butte in 1893, and Denver CycIoneat Phillipsburg, in the same state in 1891. His last contest was at Wallace. Idaho. with Dick Carroll, which resulted in draw, after fifteen rounds, on account of his breaking some of the bones in his hand.
 He was seconded by Jimmie Kelly, Tim Conley and Theodore Carson.

THE RING

was eighteen feet square, roped, and was in the back part of the large room occupied by the Douglas Music Hall at the corner of News avenue and First street
 At 1O:45 the Kid made his appearance in the hall with his overcoat on and closely buttoned up. The crowd gave him hearty greeting by cIapping of hands.
 Later on Mclaughlin entered the room with heavy overcoat on, closely buttoned up, and he too was recog- nized and appropriately greeted. Me was not as well known to those present as the Kid for he is of a more quiet disposition and he has been working way down at the Ready Bullion where people did not have the best opportu- nifty of making his acquaintance.

INJURED At A
STEEPLECHASE
Accident to Sidney Still
we'll.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA BARBARA, Sept. l5.-Sfdney
Stillwell, one of the best-known gentle
man riders Of England and we'll known
in club circles of this city and at the
Burlingame Club, received serious in
juries this afternoon and tonight he is
in a very critical condition.
The members Of the four hundred of this
city gave a race meet this afternoon at
Agricultural Park and during the three
and quarter mile hurdle race Stillwelrs
horse fell with him while making a hur-
die. Stillwel fell under his horse, being
held there by the weight Of the animal
for two or three minutes. Stilwell was
leading at the three-eighths mile hurdle
when his horse fell. He was caught un-
as the horse attempted to rise he began
kicking. Stillwell knew that he woI1Id
be kicked to death if the horse succeeded
In getting up, SO he reached for the line
of the bride and turned the horses head
so he could not rise, but all this time Still
well was suffering terrible pain from the
weight of the horse.
Two minutes later, when assistance ar
rived from the finish, half a mile distant
Stillwell was still unable to move and was
covered with blood. He was taken to the
grandstand and then Immediately to the
Santa Barbara Clubhouse. An hour after
the accident he became unconscious and
it was found that his shoulder had been
broken and his head badly cut and
bruised. He is suffering from concus-
sion of the brain and late this evening
had not gained consciousness.
Stillwell came here about two years ago
from England as the private secretary
and general manager of the Countess
Ritter, who maintains beautiful house In
| Ell Montecito, although she lives here but
a short time during the winter. Stillwei
is one Of the best-known steeplechasers
| of England, and his skillful manipulation
! Of tandems at the horse shows in this Gil,
! has excited much comment
