was not dazed in the least. simply using
the time to get rest Aside from this,
Griffo showed he was out for win by
the way he forced the going. He never
showed more sand and grit. and every
! time he was hit he went back for more,
sometimes following Gardner hard, but
failed TO follow up his advantages.

DONAHUE- -DUFREsNE BOUT.
Portland. Me- Oct .13.-There was
very lively boxing match last evening at
the rooms Of the Pastme club under
the management OF Jack Galley. There
was a good preliminary six-round bout
between Kid Lewis and Billy Emerson.
The principal event OF the evening was
bout Of ten rounds between Kid Dona-
hue OF Portland and Kid Dufresne of
Lewiston. Donahue forced the lighting
from the start. and used his left with
great effect. Dufresne took much pun
ishment and now and then came back
viciously. The two men recently met at
Bath. when fortune favored Dufresne. but
II was Donahues turn this evening and
he improved II. No decision was given.
The event attracted sporting men from
Lewiston, Bath and Biddeford. Ned Henry
was referee.
