strange He is a strong fighter and
next time he viii do better"
There never was a fight conducted
better than last nights contest The
spectators, 500 IN number. were warn
ed in advance that they must be quiet
and make no demonstration during the
progress Of the rounds. To enforce such
an edict on $500 persons during hot

rounds permission was given to yell,
but everything had to be quiet at the
tap of the gong, or there viii be no
