THE SOLDIER BOY
WON THE MATCH
KENNARD WENT OUT AS THE
GALLERY YELLED-JOE COHEN
AS THE REFEREE.

There was first class boxing at the
Orpheum last night. The go between
Kennard and DeLisle was good enough
to please everyone. Kennard's star
dimmed as he used tricky ring tactics
while the crowd hooted, paled contin-
ually as despite his gallery attitudes,
DeLisle's right was jaDbed into his an
atomy and finally went out with the
decision of the referee.
At the outset there was trouble as to
a referee and Joe Cohen finally otiiCiat-
ed. DeLisle's hand had found its way
to Jimmy FoXs head in preliminary
training and his kunckles were in bad
shape, Six rounds were therefore agreed
upon for the bout. At the outset the SOL
der led and caught Kennard mapping
The latter smiled confidently and duck
ed a little quicker for the rest of the
bout. He had too clever a man after
him this time, however, and DeLisle
finding his swings were going over
Kennard's head used his right with
telling effect At the end of the first
round Kennard got in one smashing
blow that reached the side of DeLisle's
jaw. Afterwards it was all the sol>
dier's battle.
Kennard posed and smiled and han
died himself cleverly, but the crowd
was with the soldier who had sized up
the situation SO handily. After one
sharp exchange Kennard proffered his
hand and as DeLisle less used to ring
trickery, started to take it, Kennard
smashed him. The crowd hooted and
DeLisle hit little harder for the r'st
of the fight. In all the miX-ups he was
the stronger and got to his man thrice
to Kennards once. The decision was
received with disfavor by Remarks
hackers, but there was no doubt about
1t and every rindside man in the house
unhesitatingly declared it fair and
clean.
Harris made an aggregated ass of
himself and lost his chances of fight
with Weday for keeps. Riley the man
up against the lengthy coon, was out
of any kind of condition, and started
in too fast. The punishment on both
sides was severe and both men found
the floor. While he lasted Riley had
the fight. Harris hoored him at, the
end of the second round, but the gong
saved him in two seconds. The referee
did not hear the gong through the
shouting and Harris seemed to think
he had won the fight. Nothing in the
world would persuade him to go back
into the ring again, though with all his
wind left ought to have won. Riley
was ready but Harris, with a puffed
up face, was fighting and swearing
with his seconds and assistants, and
finally got out of the ropes. The deci-
sion had to go to Riley and did. If the
latter trains for a month he could best
Harris easily. Harris fouled in a break
away in the first round and was warn
ed by the referee.
The preliminaries We're interesting If
not scientific. Anderson put out a
plucky Portuguese named Vierra in
three rounds, the Punchbowl lads face
looking very nasty at the end. Two
Australian kangaroos performed some
antics that could not be digniied by
the name of boxing and a native lad
and another gave the best go of all the
preliminaries.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THE MISSING YACHT.
No Signs of the Canary at Pear
Harbor.

y 4
Harbor.
The Canary which was reported miss
ing on Wednesday was the smallest
craft in the fleet of the Hawaii Yacht
Club. She was brought here some
three years ago in the interior Os the
fin keel MalolO, bought at Yokohama by
Henry Waterhouse. Slowed away in
side was the Canary, a perfect minia-
ture of the Malolo and little larger than
some of the toy yachts of the princes
miniature fleet. Curtis Iaukea bought
her next and she finally came into the
hands of Prince David Kawananakoa
who is the present mourner.
The prince seldom sailed her, leaving it
to the pleasure of his younger friends.
Two constituted a crew and whenever
the Canary went into stays one man
nearly went out. She was a staunch
little craft although perhaps the small
lest practical yacht in the country sail
ed outside the reef down to Pearl Har-
Dor from Honolulu and participated in
the fourth class races on more than one
occasion.
a north wind has been blowing al the
lochs and it is thought that the Canary
must have parted from her mornings in
the night when the wind and current
may have taken her out to sea. Had
she filled and sunk 1T her mornings her
mast would have shown above water
unless broken off as she was in shallow
water close to the mud flats on the
western side of the Peninsula.

knows they are not informed and then

WANTS A WAR VESSEL.


WASHINGTON, Jan 2-Mr w B.
Matchette of this city, representing the
government of Liberia, to-day made for
mai request of Secretary Long that the
action of Congress, as embodied in the act
of April II. 1S66. providing for the relief of
Liberia. be carried into effect That act,
which was introduced in Congress by SEN
atOr Sumner and Representative Banks. Of
Massachusetts,, provides that there shall
be transferred to the government of Lii
IBERIA one of the gunboats OF the United
States navy acceptable to the government
of Liberia. and which, in the opinion of
the secretary Of the navy, can be spared
conveniently for that purpose. The secre-
tary Is empowered TO enter into a contract
with a representative Of the I.iberian gov
ernment for the sale of the vessel TO Lii
IBERIA at a valuation TO be fixed by the sec
retary Of the navy, and TO be paid in an
nual installments not exceeding ten in
number.
Nothing was done in connection with this
legislation until President Cleveland came
into power. when Secretary Herbert set
aside the old wooden warshlp Swatara for
the use of the Liberian government For
various causes, however, the order for the
transfer of the vessel never carried
into effect. The proposition now made by
MIR Matchette is that the Navy Depart
ment set aside another vessel on the same
