LAST NIGHTS SPARRING EXHIBITION.

Certainly no one could possibly oD-
iect to the sparring exhibition "hlcn
yas gwen by Denver" Ed Smith ana
bis friends in the hall above the CluD
Stables last night. Everything IN con
uection with the exhibition was carried
on i'm an orderly manner. there was no
rowdyism and the best OF spirit pre-
vailed. At no time during the series
NJ matches was there show or Ill
feeling on the part of any Of the box
crs. they understanding mlly Una.
every contest was a friendly one anu
that no roughness would he tolerated
for a single instant. 1t was test OF
skill and nothing further.
The small ring was located in the
makai part of the hall and five or SIX
rows of chairs surrounded II. THESE
were filed a half an hour previous 10
the beginning Of the entertainments
Those who came late. either stood up
or took places OH an elevated part Oh
the hall on the Waikiki side. the
newspaper men were located in the
first row on the Waikiki side while
special O Rcers of the police force with
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth occupied
a similar position on the mauka SIDE.
There were in the ueighborhood nt
three hundred persons in the hall.
Two well known Chinese merchants
occupied seats in the front row. Ca
marinos and a party Of four, all decked
out I'm leis, came in late and had to
stand up. TO mention more names
would be useless. All the boys" we're
there and that is saying enough.
4 referee was chosen from the audi
ence and he, most retiring young
man. asked that the newspaper men
refrain from using his name so the
scribes put their pencils away for the
time being.
At about $50 o'clock. Dole of the
Mohican ard Jackson of this city APP
peared in the ring for the first Of the
three round and final contests. The
referee announced that all in the audi
cnce must refrain from smoking as 1t
was bad for the boxers and the Club
Stables.
The match between Dole and Jackson
started out rather tamely, this perhaps
being due to the slowncss of the lat
ter. Dole was anxious enough to get
to work but his opponent did not en-
thuse.
Dole landed on his opponents face
quite frequently in the first round but
the latter had very clever way OF
turning his head and thus allowing the
force Of the blow to slide of. The sec
ond round was a trhe more lively
Jackson tried couple Of upper cut:
but the sailor man was somewhere else
In the third round Jackson woke NJ
and landed a couple of swings but the
sailor kept tapping his opponents face
almost at will. In the wind-up Jack
son did much better work catching tht
sailor a very clean upper cut. Thu
referee declared that there was no de
cided advantage and called the mattel
a draw.
The second match was between
O'Reilly Of San Francisco and Doole!
OF New York. They certainly locke;
what their names signify. O'Reilly wal
the larger man and by far the bes
fighter. However, there was no grea
show Of skill on the part Of either
In the first round. O'Reilly had tn
best Of It. He landed a number of lief
hand jabs in the face and got in som,
right crosses on the kidneys and jaw
Dooley could not land enough to speal
Of In the second round O'Reilly be
came more aggressive than ever
Dooley picked up a little and LANDED
weakly. O'Reilly slipped and fell. II
