Onial hall, where ne aDSOrDed the con- 1 tents of tall dark one. His exhibi- l tion of last evening finished him as a. participant in any boxing shows to be held here. To tell about this affair would be the same as describing one of the battles in the trenches, for after the first round, it was simply question of how long Ames could not stand up under the terrific grueling that the Silent One" administered to him. To cap the climax a wound over Ames left eye was opened in the fifth round and this added to the ghastly slaughter that was going on. Several times the boiler maker from the Superior City, tried to stave off the blows of Martin and gave his ad- herents chance to root for him, but the ultimate outcome was the pound- ing in a terrible manner of his face. Ames showed the S. o. s. signs in the fifth round when Martin reached his jaw with bombarding rights, and it was noticeable to those at the ring side that he was fast losing his speed and stamina. The affair came to close at opening of the eighth round when at the sound of the bell Ames arose and walking across the ring he shook Martin by the hand and Referee Willis announced that he was ready to quit. The announcement was met with a few jeers, but it was sound judgement on part of the defeated who evidently believes Tn the old say- ing that "He who fights and runs away, shall live to fight again some day." Bill Crowley the man who staged the Young Corpett-Terry Me- Govern fight, chief second for Ames showed signs of disgust on part of his man.
 When the defeated "pug" left tho ring one of the eight handlers had the temerity to stop in front of the press stand and in deep stentorian tone, he informed his listeners that Ames had broke both his hands, but the verdict of the post mortem was that Martin had broke his heart and made him quit.
 Referee Willis at the close of the fight when asked for a statement said. Tt looks to me like a case of quit"
 The Prelim.
 Two of the most grotesque indi- viduals that ever graced canvass cov- cred floor of a prize ring, styling themselves as Johnny Sullivan (which if anybody by that name ever sees him in a ring travelling under the colors of a fighter will annihilate him) and Kid Green known by the Christian name of Frank Basile. who was one of the chief towel wielders at the shows of a near fight eromoter last winter, but since grad uated to the ranks of pug. Cts shame to do this,) went through the torturous efforts Grom a spectators standpoint) of a six round bout, and at the close of the mill it was the agreed opinion that as boxers both of the lads would make excellent blacksmiths. The sporting editor of the Herald will give a prize to the best answer given just what title to add to the exhibition put up by the "boxers." Sullivan in some re- | spects resembled Bob Fitzsimmons, l Che was so much differently on &C., count of the knock-kneed attitude he | assumed while trying to find a place ] on Greens" mush to plant his mighty left. At times the affair reach- l ed proportions that were of a side l splitting nature.
 Around the Ring. Some fight.
 | To Manager Walsh, congratula- tions.
 The fans were we'll pleased and on their good behavior.
 Captain Grace and Sergeant Kelly were at the ring, but their services were not needed. Both enjoyed the milling too.
 The usual number of 'glugs" got free advertising by the announcement route.
 ha tc 1ff %o PNFN (excuse me Honest John) Willis for the manner in which he handled the mill.
 All walks in life were represented at the mill, the butcher, the baker and candlestick maker, coming from far and near to see the show.
 How do you like Hayes (Riley is not his name.)
 One thing that can be said in Man. ager Walsh's favor is that he does not consider himself an orator, and keeps away from the ring, thereby sparing the fans of the torturous or deal of listening to the crude verna- cular such as an alleged fight pro- moter in this city peddles at his bouts"
 Eddie Cowles of the Waterbury 'Herald,'' manager of "Wild Bill'' Fleming was at the ringside and spoke in flattering terms about tho show.
 Hartford fans rooted hard for Sammy Waltz m his bout with Hayes, and were disgusted with the showing of Red" Ames
 Arrangements were completed last evening between Manager Sibberre for Martin and Manager Cowles for "Wild Bill" Fleming for a 12-round bout in this city later in the month. The preliminary will be between
