Barberton, June 19.--The tistic car
llival given under canvas last night
under the auspices Of the Nichlausse
athletic club was not an uuboundcd
success.
The first bout on the card was six
rounds between Tom Hoover Of Bar
berton and John Flat of Cleveland.
1t was Hoover's first appearance In
the roped arena, but he made 1t lively
for Flat. The first round opened ham,
mer and tongs fashion, each gladiator
eating good many stiff punches. In
the second Hoover foorcd his oppon-
ent with an uppercut OH the jaw. He
took IL nine count before he was again
on his feet. From that on until the
end of the sixth round the fight was
for blood and afforded much amusc-
ment. Science was lacking in both,
but at that it eclipsed the main bout
of the evening. Hoover was given the
decision.
In the wrestling match Billy Coleman
won from Jack Smith of Cleveland.
Hc won two straight falls In easy
style.
While Johnny Dennison of Cleveland
ana Tom Kinney Of Belvderc, ILL.,,
were dressing for their bout, the sec
ton of seats in the northern'part of the
tent collapsed. No one was injured.
Thos. Donnelly, manager of the club,
roasted the cheap stlffs,' as he called
them on the outside for not paying TO
see the fight. On account of the light
attendance q plea was made for con-
trlbutlons which were Forthcoming.
Kinney had the advantage of Denni.
son in height. weight and reach, yet
Dcnnison rushed things from the go.
Several bets were made at even mon
ey during the first round. After that
| II was two to one on Dennison without
any takers. Dennlson knocked Kinney
down twice in the second round. Kin
ncy was counted out by the referee.
Tom Kelly, the husky boilermaker,
posted $40 today that he could best
Billy Coleman IN wrestling match.
The money was covered, and the men
will wrestle tonight under the canvas.
The Council passed Il resolution last
night regulating the placing OF electric
light, telegraph and telephone poles in
streets and public places. This res.
olutiou was passed to keep the poles
on the various streets uniform. The
resolution declares that when II com,
pany ordered TO move pole and fails
to do So said company shall be given
80 days notice and mt the end OF that
period, it can be tucd not more than
$500 for neglecting to comply with the

as Il nuisance and torn down. the ex.
penscs to be paid by the owner there.

Mr.. Weiser reported that the fire
bell had been placed on tho tower, and
was ready for use. He recommended
that patrol system be arranged, and
stated that the Magic City Telephone
company put up boxes and keep them
in repair for S1.50. II will ring the
bell free of charge in case of fire.
This was thought too expensive by
other Councilmen, and upon motion of
Mr.. Robertson the chairman o. the
Fire and Water committee was au-
thorized to arrange u system of fire
alarm, similar to those in Akron.
Mr.. Whlgam asked; Have we a
fire chief. III so, what Is lie doing. We
got squirt guns about four months
ago and they are here in this Council
