Two Draws In Ring Al
fishmarket; Biz
Crowd There

the largest crowd which has Assem-
bled at this stand Of athletic enter
tainment. Every event was applaud
ed to the echo. Ladies' in number
were present, and exhibited more ex
element during the boxing event
than any fight-fan present. The out
come of the evenings sport was
win for the Honolulu tug-of-wa
team over the Stevedores, and tw,
draws in the ring.
This crowd which assemblies at tn,
Fishmarket is one of the most re
markable in many respects which ev
err assembled in this city. II is tn,
one place where women may see box.
Ing contests which bear any Likeness
to the much-mooted prize-fght. Ant
not only women, but men who nigh
not want to be seen at the ringsidt
in II boxing contest at which the
fight phrase might be poked, show
up here, and yell approval with the
rest when a solid blow goes home
and the gore flows.
The first event was the tug-of-war
The Honolulus started the thing
their way from the first, but for
many minutes the indicator hovere,l
in the center circle. Then the Homo
lulu men began to haul the rope their
way by fits and starts, and were al
most two feet to the good when the
Commute limit was reached, and
the money was theirs.
These teams went the limit OF
twenty minutes to draw Saturday,
and tugged for the accumulated
purse last evening.
The next was G-rounc event be-
tween Young Heine and Kid Cabral.
These men are In the ring against
each other almost every time show
is held here now. They agreed that
If both were on their feet at the end
OF the sixth round, the go would be
a draw. 1t went the limit. Neither
had the other worried, and honors
were about even all through. Cabral
did not show his usual form, in that
he was slower in hitting, and had nc
power behind the blows he shot out
In other words, he was not fighting
He used his right more than usual,
and played some for the mid-section,
which is not his usual form. Helne
seemed stronger than usual, which is
probably to be account for by the fact
that his hands have been on the bum
of late, and are now getting better.
This man has accepted Nigel Jack
sons offer to box at 100 pounds.
The main event of the evening,
scheduled for a Ground go between
Young Nelson and Jack McFadden,
resulted in another draw, with the
same agreement, that 1t should be
declared draw II both men were on
their feet at the end of the sixth
round. They both boxed prettily, but
there was little suggestion of fight
about 1t. Neither man was punish
ed In the least. They made beauti.
full exhibition of the last round,
which was one of the fastest which
has ever been seen here. But they
had no steam behind their work, and
there was not the suggestion of a
try for a knockout. For all that, 1t
was an exceedingly pretty exhibi-
tion, and caught the crowd.
Tonights card will be: Tug-of-
war; boxing, six rounds, Fredericks
of the U. s. s. Illinois VS.. Bennett OF
the U. s. s. Kansas. Boxing, Plat
of Fort Shafter VS.. Murphy of Fort
Shafter, six rounds.
