 Sunday mornng, about the time the
 o'clock shift were going home, they
 would have been surprised by the mum.
 Der of carriages that lined that thor
 oughfare, and the amount of activity
 being displayed there. There were saddle horses, single rigs, double rigs and carry-alls of all descriptions. ana
 if it happened that the passerby was inQuisitive enough to want to know the occasion of all this. they would be
 told, unless they were known to be "a1 right, that they were a lot of duck hunters off for the duck country; otherwise they were "huhched" 10 fol- low the leader to Lowell, and there they would get the tip as to where the much talked of fight between Joe Strinker and Kid" Barney would take place. After a short delay aL Lowell, in which every one took a fresh supply of bottled ammunition, they were off fer the rendezvous, and what a jolly, good natured crowd it was-every one in the best of spirits, or with the best of spirits in them. Arriving at the spot there was no time lost in getting across the line and pitching the ring, and I would like tc state right here that l never saw a more orderly or better behaved crowd of sports than that gathered at the ring side, and I have been present at a good many of them.
 All preliminary arrangements being completed. the two principals stripped Barney was the first to enter the ring, closely followed by his seconds. He is magnificenuy built young man, and seemed to be in perfect con dition. Strinker was next to enter with his seconds. The claim was made by those present who have seen Joe in his former goes" that he was never in better shape.
 The refree being selected, both principals are called to the center of the ring and introduced. One of the spectators has a small pocket kodak. and they pose for their pictures. Bar ney wins the toss for corners, and SC. lects the northeast corner. As 1t Is cloudy. and no sun shining, there is no advantage in corners. After the referee instructs them in the rules they both retire to their respectiv corners and await the sound of the gong.

After a few seconds in which both spar for an opening Strinker leads with left. and they i'm medately clinch; referee parts the men. Barney swings for head, and Strinker ducks.

Barney swings for jaw, but misses. They clinch, but immediate 1 ly separate. Strinker swings and | lands on body. The gong finds the men in a mix-up.
 Round Two-They both step quick ly to the center of the ring, and lose no time in getting 70 work. Barneys face shows the effect of the rough | milling in the previous round. Strink- CT feints with left, and they both :. clinch. The referee parts the men. but they immediately come to clinch again, and while holding, with one arm free, Strinker puts seven or eight i fierce body blows over Barney's kid neys. Strinker leads a left, but Bar ney blocks. Strinker lands his right ! to body q couple of times, and they | come to a clinch Strinker lnds his right to body; Barney lands on i Strinker's jaw with his right, and they both mix it. They both land to head l and come to a ciinch. They break, but | Immediately come together again, and mix it fiercely. Referee parts them, ! but they are back together again, and during a free mix up, in which both land. 5trinker feints with his left. and Barney throws his head back. At that Joe swings hi sright and places a hay maker on the point of the Kids chin, and Barney goes to the mat for the count
 Time of second round. two minutes.
 Barney stated after the fight that he had no complaint to make, that he was licked fair and square. He didn't think it was in Strinker to hand it to him; it was just a case of Joe beating him to it with that right swing
 Strinker was asked about his future plans. He stated that if nothing turned up soon he would leave for the North and take on some one there. The fight terminated just as he expect ed; 1t was the right swing that he de- pended on to do the business, and of course wasn't a bit surprised at the result
 met McCluug yesterday afternoon and asked him if he was willing to fight the winner. He said he would take on Strinker, providing he would make 145 pounds ringside. Upon be- ing told of McClung's challenge, Strinkcr replied that the Kid" knew he couldn't make 145 ringside, but he I
