NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-News of a fis-
tic combat between Hon. Seton Robert
Beresford. younger brother Of Lord

suited in knockout, has just leaked
out. The combat took place last Satur-
day in the gymnasium of the Gould
mansion at Lakewood, n. j., and went
for three rounds. When the seconds of
Drexel admitted a knockout he was
dragged from the ring, and since that
time his English victor has been award
ed silver cup for his demonstrated su-
premacy. Those who saw the bout were
members Of house party at the Gould
mansion.
During the first round Drexel was
aggressive, and he fought viciously un-
til toward it's close, when a left hooR
from Beresford knocked him down, and
the round closed with Drexel on his
back.
Until the third round" Beresfor9
seemed inclined to take things easy,
but at the opening of the round hI
landed heavy body punch on his op.
ponent, and with left swing he sent
him sprawling. Drexel was soon on hif
feet again, but Beresford delivered
left and a right to his jaw with suck
effect that he had Drexel completely
at his mercy. AS he stood dazed in thu
middle of the ring. with his arms hang
ing helplessly at his side, DrexeIs sec.

The silver cup awarded Beresford was
given by Mrs. Gould.
