McCoy's head. Mccoy side-stepped IN
an unusual direction. and Peter tried
another left, which fell short In
mix-up which followed, honors were
about even. but Mccoy was cautioned
by the referee for holding. Maher
outpointed the Kid by fifty per cent in
this round. sending rights and let's to
the head while the Kid retaliated with
lefts on the wind Toward the close
of the round Maher was cautioned for
holding, and coming from a break
away he sent a left hook to McCoy's
face which did the Kid no good. AT
this stage of the game Makers friends
became very confident that the Irish
man would get the better of the Hoos-
Ter lad, but Mccoy had great deal
more left In him that the people had
not bargained for. He waited for the
big fellow, who had the better of the
previous round, and tapped him with
a left lightly in the face, all the time
shifting to the left side, then both
landed 1efts to the head. Peter sent
hard left to the face which the Kid
countered. Then he sent to the throat
and tried to cross with his right, but
the Kid ducked and then Mccoy land
ed right and left on the jaw. Peter
wavered and Mccoy sent another right
which fell a bit short, and then drop
ped his left to the body. tried a right
swing and as Peter side-stepped, the
Kid met him with full swinging left,
which landed on the point of jaw and
the Irishman went down, resting on
his right elbow, and was counted out
in this position. 1t was terrific blow
and, landing right on the mark, an OK
could scarcely have withstood its force.
1t was the cleanest knockout ever seen
in ring fight, and while some people
were unkind enough to say that Maher
could have gotten up again, those who
were nearest to the fighters and saw
the blow were of the opinion that Sui
livan in his palmiest days could not
have withstood it.
Probably in the history of ring
fights in this vicinity there has never
been so quick a change in the betting
as that which occurred during the two
hours preceding this fight. For some
days past Maher had been the favorite
as good as 100 to 60 being bet on his
chances. One hundred to seventy on
Maher was the. ruling price when the
club house doors opened this afternoon,
and in the different sporting centers
this ratio was maintained until within
an hour of the beginning of the con-
test. Then peculiar condition of af-
fairs occurred, and for no apparent
reason Maher stock was beared, while
the Kids was bulled, and when the
men got into the ring their positions
in the betting market were reversed
with the Kid the favorite.

LONDON, January 2, 4:S0 a. m.-The
success of Gen. French, in driving the
Beers from Colesberg has shot a well
come raw of light through the gloom Of
the campaign in South Africa. Every
where it is commented on as an exam
nile OF sound tactics and as an illustra-
tion of What may be done when the
right methods are employed with the
Beers. The government is urged to
take the lesson to heart and to see
that no stone is left unturned in the
endeayor to get the largest possible
forces OF cavalry and mounted infantry
TO the front. Now that Gen. French
has the Beers ON the run, the hope is
expressed that he will give them no
rest, but will harass them until they
find their way across the Orange river,
which is twelve miles distant. The old
wagon route to- the Free State. traverses
Colesberg and crosses the river by a
fine bridge, 1910 feet long. It is be-
lieved that the Beers retreated toward
Norvals Pont, tirther east, and the
question is whether Gen. French will
be able to secure these two bridges be-
fore the Beers destroy them.
One important effeotNof the success
of Gen. French is that it will probably
have a deterrent influence upon Dutch
disaffection. There is some disposition
here to exaggerate the Importance OF
small skirmishes and engagements. 1t
should be borne in mind thai Gen.
French has only 2,OCO men, and far
as the important points of the 2ayh-
paign ,are concerned the situation is
virtually unchanged.
