This was cause for disappointment but on explanations heing made by Padelloi , sho took all the blame upon himself, there was no fault found.
 it.as four minutes 10 three before anyone appeared in the fing. The crowd showed is impatienee hy clap ping of hands. Henry Anger. sho act ed a- referee and master Of ceremonies, announced the program as changed.

 The focal man was no match for the professional. but hestuek to 1t gamiiy though getting severely punished st times. Mack, however, WAS very con siderate and only let himself go when his opponent rushed in, and gave him number Of short arm jolts to the ribs while ciinehed. There was apparently no force te the blows, as Mack stood laughing ao~ Il al the spectators while u WAS going on.
 After tie bout Mack announced that he would Ike 10 meet Collins. ef Gen tfal Village. sf Abe the News Boy, of New .9adsa-the latter preferred for any Dnmher of rounds.

 When lhe heli rung. Calxin danced io the middle el the ring Ike fight cock. and landed on his opponent $ body. and got away. Ii had hardly happenrd before I.anglois landed on his Jaw. with such force that lie went to ihe mat on his back. lie had no sooner got up than he was put down az ain. and thereafter he took the de- iensise. and kept out of the local youngsters way as much as possible. In Inc last round ianglois had ta con tinuaiiy chase him around the ring to get near him. and just before bell rung ColVin was elinging to the ropes with his back to his opponent, and his se- eoads threw up the sponge
 The teferee now appeared carrying a large silver cup, some K inches tall and announced that 1t Was won es Hanson when in Europe, in laa7, as champion in weltefweight class. He { stated that II Hanson was in receipt of a challenge from Bulldog Clayton, Inc champion welterweighl of Eng and. ! Hanson and radelIo together. While these two men might have been evenly matched in the past, there k no qaes- ton thst at the present time Hanson is by far padello's superior. The out come of the bout was never do ubted from the start. which detracted from it's interest. Padelio was on the ofien. sive most of the time, and inthls he ma infested his remarkable ability for get ling out of tight places W hich were ap- ,parently impossible. Hanson worked hard for 2a i.s minutes before he got his opponent for the first fall with s sissorsi on the neck.
 The second round WAS repetition of the first. IL was ao minutes before Hanson had hts opponent down. IT ( fall came under Inc ropes and of! the mat. Padcllo objected to the fairness of The decision. He appealed To Jack Mcs;ralh oi Norwich. who WAS present at the ringside, asking if he ever heard of a fall being given off the mat. Me Graih was heard to humble some thing that sounded something like that he had never heard of such 8 thing,
 | Hanson now addressed the crowd. saving that there was no agreement as to whether the fall should he on or orf the mat. but he was willing to give Pa sielio another chance. For this he was loudly applaaded. They had teen al il about Two minutes more when Pa iello again saccuined to the scissors on-neck hold.
 radelto WAS plainly angry, and had pre- iously objected To every decision made hy the referee, and the crow Il didn't Ike the spirit that he had dis played. He refused Hanson'> offer 10 shake hands
 Joseph Gasne now announced that arrangements had been made with the Armory Athletic Association of Boston ,o send out some good men for the 1 ~paffiax exhibitions at the next meet.
