 Manager W. l.. Crowley of the Wa terbury Athletic club has completed hls bill for the boxing exhibition to be held at Polls theater on Thursday evening, May 29, and it is corker. The prlnci- pal bout of the evening will bring to- gether George McEadden and Gus Gardner and if there are any people III this city who never saw those two men in the ring they have missed two ol the fastest and hardest hitting boxers in the business. This go will De TOT twenty rounds and both men are now in training. It will be at catchwelghts, which will make it all the more inter esting.
 For the first preliminary Jim Hay wood, the Brass City Kid, who mas been trying so hard to force matches on some of the alleged boxers around New England, will at last be given chance. He has been booked to meet Charley McNally of Bridgeport at ten rounds and he will have to be busy every minute of the ten rounds of fight ing unless he manages to land the lucky punch. Haywood is tickled to death to get on q match and he will be in perfect condition when the time comes.
 The second preliminary will be if teen round go between Jimmy Kelly of New York and Tom Daley of New York. This is also a star bout and will be just as interesting as the main one. Both men are fast and each is looking for the other and has been for some time, and it was not a difficult matter to get them to sign articles. From those three bouts it will be seen that the people of this city will get just forty-tive rounds of good boxing unless some one of the boxers succumbs be- fore the time limit.
 Philadelphia, May 2O.-Kid Carter, formerly of Brooklyn but now of Chi cago, bested Kid Mccoy last night at the Industrial Athletic club in one of the most remarkable six round fights ever contested ill this country under Marquis of Queensberry rules. Five times during the bout was Mccoy knocked down and obliged to take the count. Only the bell ending the round saved him from being counted out in the second, third and fourth rounds. In the first round he had jabbed Garter almost to his hearts content with clever 1eft-hand work, and the 1,5OO spectators thought the contest was all over but the shouting. When the bell rang for the second round to begin the aspect of affairs soon changed. Garter became the aggressor and despite Me Coy'S clever work and sidestepping, his opponent managed to land blows which soon had Mccoy guessing. Eight sec onds before the round ended he dropped Mccoy with vicious right hand lead. When the bell rang ending the round. Mccoy staggered to his feet and wan dered to his corner in a dazed condi- tion. He fought in a dazed condition all through the third and fourth rounds. He was on the floor three times in the third round. twice being knocked down and once being pushed to the stage. One of the blows tha, dropped Mccoy was q left-handed swing on the point of the jaw, while the other was a right-hand blow full on the jaw. As in the previous round the bell saved him from being counted out McCoy's eyes were still glassy when he came up for the fourth round Carter took the initiative and started to pummel him right and left. He went at his opponent in hammer and tongs fashion. Mccoy went dowr from another right-hand jolt and thf bell again saved him from defeat. The blow which practically ended the fourtl round, instead of daZing Mccoy seemed to awaken his yigor. For tho first time since the first round he begar to use the ring generalship for whicl he is so famous. All through the fiftl and sixth rounds Mccoy kept at re spectful distance from Carter's right
