Between Kelley and Meyers for some
time there was rivalry more bitter than
the usual feeling. It is said both were
aspiTants for the hand of young girl OF

vantage. The faces OF both were BLOODY
and they were so weakened by the terri BILE
strain that they could hardly stand
In the ninth round BOTH revived by
stiuulauts started afresh. Meyers ap-
pesred the stronger and with heavy
swings quickly drove Kelley to the corner,

raise his hands. At last. as he leaned
hezplessly against the ropes, Meyers,
with all his strength. swung his left Vi
cious.y and caught Kelley just on the
point 81 the jaw.
Kelley's knees sank and he fell face
downward His eyes closed and he be-
came unconscious. The referee slowly
counted ten and with a wave Of his hand
declared Meyers the victor.
Kelley's seconds jumped into the ring
ard dragged the helpless boy to his chair.
He cid not revive. although water was

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Stock Mar
ket today opened quiet and with sag
ging tendency. The movement OF prices
seemed to be simply continuation of that
which set in yesterday and which super
ficially may be attributed to the growth Of
anxiety regarding the issue of the Presi-
Dental campaign. There was, aside from
that, no change of any of the conditions
bearing upon the market.
The London market was steady. includ-
ing the American quarter, on the relaxing
monetary situation there and the better
ing conditions in China. Apprehensions OF
a very heavy reduction in the banks sur
plus reserves tomorrow also served to
stimulate selling.
Few features OF special interest devei-
oped in the early trading Declines were
common but the losses were not particu-
larry severe.
Interest was fairly well distributed
throughout the railway list, with the
granger shares in the lead in respect of
activity. Union Pacific and Northern Pa
cifc shares in the reactionary tendency
of the market.
The industrial quarter vas heavy VII
