In The Justice Court.

A few of the leading sports loaded the officers last night and pulled on .
 prize fight in a private ring in the rear of the New England Kitchen. The sf. fair was exciting from start to finish and kept the referee guessing from the jump. At three o'clock 8 good sized crowd had gathered and standing room was at a premium. s. K. Williams, Newman, Hall, M. J.

Fierce sparring ensues and Whitey is crowded to the wood pile. Whitey comes up strong and draws his breath. Wilson forces the fight. They clinch, Whitey gives the bear hug and time is called.
 Round two-Both come up smiling and begin to Gance. Wilson rushes but stubbed his toe. Whitey lands on his short ribs; another clinch. Wilson strikes wild, whirls and leads 6 frown. Whitey leaps in the air, breaks sus- bender, and time is called.

Wnitey fans the air, jumps upon the rain barrel and rips of button.
