 WHIPS TWO MEN
HIS OPPONENTS WERE GEORGE HOLIDAY OF NEW YORK AND BILLY FINIcANE OF CHICAGO. SOME PRETTY WORK.

Chicago, November S.-Harry- Forbes, the bantam-weight champion, met two men in the same ring here tonight and defeated both His opponents were George Halliday of New York. and Billy Finacane of Chicago. Each contest was scheduled for six rounds Halliday met Forbes first and was knocked out after two minutes of fighting in the first round. Halliday was badly out-classed and sue cumbed to a right swing on the jaw.
 After Forbes had rested few minutes his second opponent, F'inacane, faced the champion. Finacane managed to last the six rounds, but was in bad shape and Forbes was given the verdict. Finacane Is young and had fully five pounds the better of the weight, but Forbes clever ness easily offset this advantage. Forbes used a left jab, coupled with a right hook to the jaw that had his opponent in trou- ble before the end of the second round. Finacane was put down for a count of nine in the third round. The bell saved him from a knockout in the next round, as he was lying on the floor in a helpless condition at the end of the round. Fina- cane was knocked down twice in the next round but resorted to clinching and suc- ceeded in lasting out the round. In the last round Forbes tried hard to finish him, but Finacane just managed to stay through the round.

Mason.

The democrats claim twelve. The present delegation in congress is evenly divided- eleven republicans and eleven democrats.
