BRITISH PATRIOTISM.
Great Demonstration In Honor Of Inn
perial Volunteers.

perial Volunteers.
LONDON, Jan. 13, a. m.-Remarkable
scenes of patriotism were witnessed in
London last evening after a short service
held for the volunteers in st. Paul's
Cathedral. The vast audience was slow to
disperse. Ladies stood upon the chairs
friends in the ranks. the latter signaling
back. A scene of great animation ensued.
The organist introduced few bars of the
national anthem in concluding the volun-
tary. The effect of this was magical. First
the volunteers and then the congregation
took up the strains. and the vast cathedral
was filled with enthusiastic song. These
demonstrations were renewed by immense
crowds outside. ST. Pauls churchyard and
Ludgate hill were black with people. and
IT was impossible for the volunteers to
march. Individual members were pulled
out Of the ranks by their friends and ad-
mirers, who raised them on their shoulders
and thus carried them down Fleet street
proceeded slowly. surrounded by clinging
women. Afterwards at the various thea
ters where the men were entertained and
yet later on returning to barracks these
scenes were renewed and the streets were
filed until midnight with cheering people.

Imperial Volunteers received their kits and

in the vicinity cheered the arriving volun-

ANOTHER MISTAKE LATER ON
NEITHER HEARD THE GONG FOR
THE CLOSE OF THE THIRD,
And McCOy's Knockout Blow Was
den Death Of a Spectator.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Kid Mccoy got the
decision over Joe Choynski in a bout which
lasted three rounds at the Broadway Ath-
letic Club tonight. Choynski would have
had the fight in the second round were 1t
not for an accident as to time-keeping. He
had fioored the Kid four times, but the
time-keeper pulled the bell as Mccoy was
counted for the limit Of ten seconds and
this saved the Kid from absolute defeat.
Choynskfs seconds protested vigorously,
but Referee Johnny White, while knowing
that the round was short by many sec
onds, stood by the official time-keeper and
ordered the men TO continue when the gong
rang again for the opening of the third
round Choynski's cleverness outpointed
and outshadowed all of McCoys clever ring
work.
Mccoy, having escaped defeat in the sec
ond round. was again lucky in the third.
as the blow which sent Choynski down and
out was delivered almost two seconds after
the bell had rung for the completion of the
third round. There was a great deal of
noise In the building at the time the gong
sounded, and undoubtedly neither man
heard the clang of the bell In the north
eastern portion of the building there was
tumult caused by one of the spectators
dropping dead. The man was very much
excited during the bout and expressed him.
self freely as to McCoy's being out before
the bell rang. He slid from his seat dead
as the bell sounded for the beginning of the
third round.
Col. Mike Padden, time-keeper for Nc
Coy. said afterwards that the round was
clipped by forty seconds; that Mccoy was
groggy and practically out when the gong
rang.
Choynski, while feeling rather sore, said
he had no fault to find with the referee.
and in conversation with the latter ex-
onerated White from all blame. 81 had

that nothing was done by either the referee

thing that the time should have been mis-
calculated, as l had won, and won clev-

After the bout Choynski and Mccoy
signed articles to meet again under the
same conditions, the bout to take place at
the Broadway Athletic Club on Feb. 20
Mccoy was prohibitive favorite in the
betting. A few wagers were made at odds
Of 100 to 80. but there were many offers re-
fused at 100 to Is. Even money that Choyn-
ski would last ten rounds was plentiful.
McCoy's hackers made number of bets az

out inside of ten rounds.
