ethe drSt rQunQ was caAeuA Lee WcAl |at his man ikea game bantam rooster. Brown immediately began, to ftry to- protect himself from the arms of Lee which were moving like windmills. Lee got mad because Brown did not lay down right away and he threw him down with a sort of half Nel- son. In the second round Brown tried to reverse things but Lee kept after him and both were landing few blows when the round ended and both were well tired. The third round was the last Lee began to swing both arms as he neared his man. having forced him into corner and finally the right arm struck Brown on the jaw and be went down and rolled under the ropes as if trying to get under the platform. He had enough and was counted out and Lee jumped out of the ring a winner.
 < The next bout brought together Frank Hallett of New Haven and liar ry Galway of this city. Galway had as seconds Maurice Brick, Dick Irwin and William Fritz; Hallett had Tom McGovern, James Mulvey. Andy Cos tello and Jack Hayes. The announcer said that it was ten round go at 12S pounds The crowd looked at the i two men and then shouted in Slee. | Neither man was down to that weight and Hallett looked like a giant in con- parison to Galway. The latter was 1 sturdy. however. and pretty clever. In | the first round Hallctt began to try for his long left lead. bu. he got T terrific left in thc eye and a right on tAc jaw that made him wincc and that eye at once began to close. In the second Galway tried again with left and right and landed couple. but Hallett had been coached. and he contented him. self with jabbing Harry, and the jabs made Harry very weary and he was | satisfied to take his seat when the round ended The third round like the other bout. was the last. Hallett started in to do the lad. and he was doing admirably. He jabbed with his left and soon had Harry in Queer street. Then he sent right to Har- rvs jaw and Galway was done for.
 Hallett now lost his head and the ref cree tried to hold him from eating Har- " up. but it was of no avail. His seconds shouted to him to behave him. self as he had the fight won. but it was of no use. He went for the local lad again and struck him while he
 was down and thus he lost the fight, for he was disqualified.
 The next bout attracted as much at 1 tention as did the principal bout of the evening. It was a ten-round go at ! catchwcights between Walter Burgo. the homliest fighter that ever stepped ! into q ring. and hailing from Boston. i too. and George Mulligan. of this city. Behind Mulligan were Jimmy Nelson. one of the best coaches in the business,
 Joe Lawlor and Frank Smith. Burgo ! haI cnrnn1. and | Darling
 1 It was young Mullisan's first attempt i in the ring outside of a club room and he was put up against a pretty good trial horse Nlulligan had the advan- 1 tage. however, from the fact that Bur- go had consented to fight and break clean. Had hitting with one arm free been allowed. Burgo would have hurt Mulligan. and perhaps have beaten him. In the first round Mulligan started to poke his long left into that caulif1ower face of Burgo's. and the latter tried to land one of his swings on the jaw They broke into several clinches. in which Burgo was cau- tioned for laying on his man and for tapping while embraced. In the sec Ond Mulligan did about all the work. l tabbing Burgo in the face with his left and landing an occasional right on his jaw. Burgo continued to foul and was again warned. In the third the jabs of NIulligan began to tell on Bur- go and then the long, slim lad from
 Washington hill let out two or three right swings on the jaw and Burgo
 was tired. They went into clinches
 and both men fouled and were cau- toned. Mulligan in the. fourth round | aar 1, kx,a a4so | now mad clear through. swung with
 all his might for knockout. The To- cal lad was clever and evaded most
 of the blows. but he did run into a cou- pie which hurt. Burgo was the most tired at the end of the round.
 1 In the fifth and last round Mulligan
 was tired from his fast work in the
 other rounds. and his blows lacked
 steam Still he kept up that jabbing
 but he received q couple that was fast taking his steam away. Burgo threw
 caution to the winds as he saw that he was being made a punching bag
 of by almost an amateur, and he went
 in with both hands swinging. He for got to stop those hands while he was
 clinched. and was warned again. He
 didn't mind what tho referee said, fo1. 1 while being pushed away from q
 clinch he sent another blow to Mu1li-
 gan's ribs and he was then sent to
 his seat and, disqualified. Throughout
 it all Mulligan never complained, but
 took what was coming to him and 1 gave what he could. He put up a very
 good fight for his first appearance, but
 should not be tried out with any more
 bruisers of Burgo's type.
 The principal fight of the evening
 was the twenty-round go at catch
 weights between Joe Walcott and Charley Mckeever. Walcott had as
 seconds Tom O'Rourke, George Dixon
 and brother of Walcott's. McKeev-
 CT had Jimmy Nelson, Joe Lawlor and
 brother, Johnny McKeeyer.
 Walcott appeared in his corner with
 that versatile robe of his, and he
 had lost none of his darkness. When
 he threw off the robe it was seen that
 he was in the best of condition, and i that he had not picked McKeever as
 an easy mark. Mckeever was also
 trained to the hour In the first
 round both spared for an opening,
 when suddenly the Demon" shot q
