Especial to Review.)

Special to Reyiewl
 CANANEA, Sept. 17,-One of the fastest boxing contests ever witness ed in the southwest was brought off at the National Theatre last night. The mill was to go ten rounds nut stopped in the third with John Be-. nal. of Tucson, down and out in his chair
 About 400 people witnessed the fight, erowding the theatre to its doors, and leaving enthusiastically over the work they had witnessed on the part of Arnold, the big first base man of the Cananea ball team, who was the opponent of Bernal, the Tue son heavyweight.
 Beral had considerable advantage of Arnold in weight but was no match for the Cananean at any time in science. Bernal is a Mexican and has for several years defeated all corners in Arizona, being known as fierce fighter. Last night, however. such claims as he may have had title to as a stayer were knocked out of him by Arnold who hammered him to his eorner, where Bernal tumbled into his chair and took rain of blows until the referee stopped Arnold and gave Bsrnal the count.
 If the MexiaSn was able to get up and take more of the medicine he gave no sign to that effect. Americans, who constituted the larger number of those present in the house, cheeTed themselves hoarse during the second adn third rounds, in which Arnold showed his superiority clearly and had the going much his own way. Bernal landed on Arnold but once dur ing the fight, tapping him on the nose fin the first round. In later clinches he took pains to smear his hand over the injured nose in an effort to keep it bleeding. but accomplished nothing , moTe.
 The preliminary to the big event ot the night was also rattling affair, both men going at it furiously rom beginning to finish. The American | however. was short of training. and in his furious onsIaughts in tn first round wore himself out. The Mexi' can had comparatively easy sailing , under this circumstance in the sec ond round. The fight by rounds Is l given below:
