ana am the science displayed. Hector
and Riley from Camp Mckinley pro-
yided entertainment with a very lively
exhibition. Riley proved himself very
quick although his blows lacked power.
Hector bored steadily into Riley with
stiff arm punches while the latter kept
up his end with rapid exchanges. The
number was very acceptable to the au-
dience.

as he pleased landing with precision
and charitably refraining from punch

disappOint the audience Nigel Jackson
took his place and hammered away at
his COlOred opponent with smiling per-

ing as he could considering that Harris
was about twice his size.
The event of the evening was refer
red by an unknown who appeared i'm
answer to the frantic calls for John
Smith. No decision was given in this
as i'm the other encounters but the pub
lie had no difficulty i'm making their
choice. The bout was announced ass
for points and for a while Fox had tie
best of il under those conditions until
some rather hard punches of AgUew
put him in Queer street where he re-
manned until the fight terminated by
FONS fOuling Agnew in CtnCh in
what appeared to be an Intentional
manner though he declared positively
that it was not intentional.
Fox was fat and out of condition. He
wore a heavy belt around his abdomen
which was objected to by Agnew as
armor plate. The two got down to
business from the start Fox mixing
things up at once. COuntering and
lodging was effective on both sides and
the first two rounds left matters even,
with some steam in Agnew's blows.
smash on the jaw practically settled
FOX's hash i'm the third round and he
was nearly out several times during
the balance of the fight. Agnew failed
to take advantages of several chances
to apply the finishing touches and Fox
saved himself by repeatedly clinching.
Some rOughing it on both sides took
place during cinches but in the fifth
and last round, with Fox very much
to the bad he attempted to trip Agnew
and then hit him a foul blow which
he afterwards declared was uninten-
tionaI The police and others Interior
red and the referee declared the fight
off. Agnew was mounted on to the
shoulders of admirers and the fight
was over in the fifth round with the
vexed question of Agnew VS.. Fox set
tied at last. Fox made a good showing
as long as he lasted.
