PASTIME BOUT
 SLOW AND SAD Tommy Murphy and Kid Good man Refuse to Fight Be cause of Small At
 tendance. TWO SlX-R0UND
 GOES FOR STARTERS Eminent Divines Attend the Contests With Chief
 Cowles and Cor
 oner Mix.

Nearly the whole board of aldermen, the board of police commissioners, rep .resentatives of every branch of activ- ity at Yale, the whole police force, and ministers of the Congregational Bap- list and Methodist churches, as well as the~eoroner and the chief of police gathered in Music hall last evening, keen for scheduled twelve round bout between Tommy Murphy of Harlem and Kid Goodman of Boston, only to be disappointed and to hear the pro- fuse apologies of Bill Crowley, the ref cree.
 Bill Crowley was referee because Tom Sharkey failed to show up and 1t was said after the pleasant affair was over that sharkey had no idea of showing up, nor had he been approach ed in regard to the matter
 The two principals were in the hall, but MT. Crowley said they would not go on because of the small audience, What they wanted for an audience is an interesting question, for Music Hall was nearly filled. Their managers stated after the crowd had left the hall that the Pastime Athletic club would give the men no inducement to enter the ring.
 Rev. Francis T. Brown, of the First Methodist church; Rev pr. Frederick Lent, of the First Baptist church; Rev. w. E. slagtt, of the Westyille church, Coroner Eli Mix, and Chief of Police Cowies occupied a box set apart for them in the gallery and were among the most interested spectators of the bouts. Chief Cowles stated after the meeting that the ministers had found nothing objectionable in the two bouts run off and were disappointed because the last one was not put on.
 Kid Murphy of New Haven and Kid Cushing of Springfield, the first bout, went six rounds to a draw. although the advantage early in the game was with the Springfield boy, He was slightly heavier than Murphy but the boys made good go,
 George Kitson of New York, who was advertised and introduced as Joe Fer Ter of England, went six rounds with Joe Shea of Waterbury Kitson- Ferrer had the advantage most of the time, although toward the end the Water bury boy came back strong. The only calamity of the evening was the break ing of an artery in sheas nose, after the terrific hammering of his opponent.

BELL TOOK DRUMS PLACE.
America's First Liberty Bell Used at
 Battle of AIamance.

The first battle of the American Revolution was fought on the banks of the Alamance, in this country, May Is, i771. The British forces were led by Governor Tryon and the Americans known as the Alamance Regulars, by Herman Husbands. It was not until 1879 that any steps were taken to mark the spot where the Regulators fell. This movement was set in 1T tion by speech made by Rev. Daniel Albright Long, who was at that time president of Graham college. He made a speech near the spot July 4, 1879, and called upon the citizens to organize and erect monument, This was done May 29, 1880, when thous- ands were present. As the Regulators had no drum, they used large hand bell, to warn their comrades of the approach of the British as we'll as to call their forces together. As Dr. Long was the prime mover in organIz- ing the movement for the erection of the monument, and saw it carried to final consummation. the Liberty Bell was presented to him, It was on ex- hibition at Charlotte for some time this year, but 1t is in Alamance Coun- ty now, out at the old homestead, Flaw River Farm, owned by Dr. D. A. Long, where he has with his family been spending the summer vacation.- Graham (Mass.) Cleaner.
