The Hawaiian gazette., 1903-04-07

In four rounds, before the largest
audience that has been in the Orpheum
for long time, Jack Weday knocked
out Lon Agnew last night and made
good his title to the championship of
the islands. How long he will hold it
nights fight, Jack Grace, said before
the battle that he would give the de-
cision to better man, and that he
would box the winner. And he said
that last in a way that set those in
the house who knew the game to think
ing. For Grace has all the manner of
a fighter-and he carries it modestly,
withal, as man will who knows his
trade.
The men stripped we'll for the main
event, last night, and both looked in
good condition, Weday a trifie the bet
ter. Also, he carried himself with more
of an air of self-conidence. There
were good many preliminaries, a
good lot of getting ready. Agnew OBJ
jected to Weday's bandages, and tried
to make a speech about it, but was
howled down. The audience--there

We're at it. Agnew's glove drew blood
in a stream from Wedays right eye at
the first blow, a glancing one, but that
was all he ever got He had wonderful
recuperative powers, but he was out
classed from the start. They roughed
it little in the first, but Weday had
him going, already.
In the second it was so one-s.ded
that Agnew went down to his knees
twice and almost took the count, and
then he rallied in way that was Won
derful.
He came up in the third fresh, APP
parently, but 1t did not last, and he
was decidedly groggy at the end of 1t,
huggng Weday to save himself. And
in the fourth it was all over. They

DOCTORS BILL.
The Miscellaneous Committee made
a favorable report upon the bill for the
regulation of the practice of medicine
and surgery with a number of amend
ments. The committee increased the
of the Board of Examiners
from five to seven which 1t said would
minimize the chances for favoritism.
Another amendment made the bill in
clude masseurs and osteopaths, and the
members of the Board of Examiners
are to serve without pay. The power
to spend money Is also taken away
from the committee and all receipts are
TO be turned into the treasury as gov
eminent realizations. A unanimous
vote les required to debar any doctor
from practicing. Report to be consid-
cred with the bill
Senator Baldwin reported on the
House bill exempting the wages of la
borers from execution, recommending
that 1t be laid on the table as the Sem
ate had already passed a similar bill of
much wider scope. The report was
adopted.
