New York, September 5.-Kid Mccoy knocked out Godfrey Ihorne, of England. in the third round at the Broadway Attn letic club tonight. The attendance was 5000. Mccoy was in excellent condition, and was determined to recover his reputa- ton, impaired by the Jack McCormick knockout. There was little betting, the Kid being 10O to 30 favorite. Each man weighed less than 158.
 Round 1.-Kid led a light left to the ear and was blocked. Coming together again, Thorne sent his right twice to the Kids kidneys 1horne tried a right swing. but the Kid ducked 1t neatly and sent back two lefts to the ear and slipped in with d right over the heart. Thorne, after a lot of maneuvering, kept out of reach, but finally got several jabs before the gong rang.
 Round 2-McCoy rushed and dropped Thorne with three left swings, the first to the stomach and the other two flush on the mouth. Thorne was up in three sec- onds, but dropped to right swing. Me- Coy's superiority was very apparent, and he induged Thorne for a few minutes. Then he sent his left to Thornes nose and the blood gushed all over the English boxers face. Thorne tried a right upper cut, but there was nothing to hit, as the Kid side-stepped, and it was 100 to 1 on the Kid at the bell
 Round 3-Both fddled,- Thorne landing light left on McCoy's eye. As they closed in the Kid slipped to the floor but was on his feet in a second Then Mccoy jabbed a left to face and lodged a right swing. Mccoy sent right to the body and as Thorn clinched three rights from the Kid took the wind out of the Briton. As they broke the Kid stepped back and as Thorne shaped Mccoy stepped in and shot his left twice to the face. They were fearful blows delivered with terrific force, and Thorne fell flat on his face The Briton sprawled in vain effort to regain his feet, but h.s sun had set and the referee counted him out.
 Thornes seconds jumped into the ring and grabbed their man, who was throwing his arms around in windmill fashion, evil dently unconscious of what had happened. Mccoy ran over and helped his victim 10 his corner Time of round two minutes and three seconds.

CAPE COLONY NEUTRAL.
Reported That Kruger Can Expect No
 Aid From That Source.

Capetown, September 6.-It Is reported that J. H. Hoffmeyer, the Afrikander lead CT, has telegra phed President Kruger that he cannot except help from the Cape eol- ony in the event of hostilities. It is now believed here that Mr. Pakeman's arrest was due to a blunder on the part of the local prosecutor in prematurely supposing that the climax had been reached, and therefore hastenng to execute the war rants of the prearranged understanding.
 A detachment of thirty Cape police has been ordered from King Wiliamstown to Mafeking, which is In rather unprotec condition
 The excitement at Capetown is at fever heat. Every edition of the papers is snatched up, the general feeling being that war is not far distant.
 It is impossible, however. to ignore the existence of such sharp divisions among the colonists for and against the Trans vaal. The newspapers protest vigorously against delay. The Capetown Times con- siders that the best way to effect a settle meRt is by the presence of an army corps
