must admit that his administration has
been one 10 command che oonndenos and

the FIRST duty OF Mayor Is TO guard the

the whole people. Mayor Robinson has
always hsen keenly alive 10 the city's
interests, has always seen clearly what
measures would be beneficial and what
Instantaneous. and has always had
the courage to ohooss the former and
discard the latter, no matter what the
pressure upon him. One Of his first acts
was to veto an appropriation bill which
he believed put too heavy burden upon
the taxpayers, and throughout bis term
he has carefully sorusinized every expen-

BEzENAH WINS.
Gets the Decision Over Buck SteIzer In the
Twentieth Round.

The fight which was pulled off at the
Auditorium last night is regarded as
one of the best ever witnessed in this
city by the local sports. The fight
was given under the auspices of the
Marietta Athletic Club and satisfied
every one present. ..-,, s.,,-....
A very small crowd was present to
witness the contest, but those present
express themselves as being well
pleased with the run they got for their
money.
The main contest was the twenty
round go for a decision between Eu-
gene Bezenah, of Covington, and
Buck" Stelzer, of Columbus. The pre-
liminary bout was between Friday
Dye, of Belpre ,and Ozzie Curtis, OF
Marietta. In Dyes corner Dutch"
Ancell was chief second, while in the
Curtis corner Dutch Curtis looked af-
ter his brother. In the fifth round of
the preliminary Curtis was put out
and took the count. The referee, Fred
Josephy, gave the decision to Dye.
! For the main event Jack Balm was
| in Stlzer's corner and Harry Manning,
in Stelzer's corner and Harry Manning,
ner. Buster" Thorpe acted as time
keeper and Fred Josephy as referee.
Marquis of Quensbery rules with clean
breakaways wre decided upon.
The fighti-.g all through the bout
was hard Bezenah fought Bucks face
while the latter played to the ribs and
sides. Stelzer receiver hard punish
ment on the face and head. Buck
forced the fighting and Eugene had to
do some good foot work to get away
from his swings. Fouls were made by
both men. The decision was finally
given to Bezenah in the twentieth
round.
The decision did not meet with the
approval of the crowd, who hooted
and jeered Josephy and had
to be quieted by the police. Aside
from this the fight was clean and gave
good satisfaction.
