larlty in mis- district, where he Is re-
garded as one of the %cleanest and
hest BOYS in the world, who with the
necessary experience will take his
place in the front ranks.
Dunn was cared FOR during his days
of preparation and between the
rounds by Robson, Francis, Britton
and Allocate; while the interests of
.Duval were similarly looked after by
Mcfarland. Cross. Reilly, Jackson
Green.
Both men were in the pink of con
dition and much credit is due their
handlers for the magnificent exhibit
ton which they gave. Promoter
Phipps is justly credited with bring
ing together two such fit men for
such a contest, and having staged n
of the best boxing exhibitions ever
seen in the district.
The first preliminary was a fast
affair between Young Crow of Idaho
and Socks Kline. the local favorite.
of McGill. Socks" seemed to be
coneeding much in the way of weight
to the Idaho boy. but in the four two
minute rounds that followed. he
showed that the advantage was none
too much for him to overcome. He
seemed 10 have the fight from the

telling blows in the region of the Ida
no boys stomach in the fourth round
which seemed to cause unlimited dis
tress. Referee Hicks held up the
glove of Kline and the fight was over.
In the second preliminary Paekey
Mcfarland, the local favorite stepped
through the ropes and was wildly ap-
plauded. Followers of the sport in
this district have had the pleasure
sions before. He is n of the clean
est, eleverest and fastest little fight
ers that ever stepped though the
ropes and his appearances in this dis
trict have earned for him an enyiable
reputation. The feeling of the audi
ence was quite plain "Paekey is in the
ring-there is going to be something
doing" He was followed by a boy
who was later introduced as Kid Irish
from San Francisco. The Frisco boy
seemed to have all the natual advan-
tages. such as weight and the like.
but those things sometimes count for
little to a man like Mcfarland. They
were announced to fight four two
minute rounds. During the first
round the Frisco boy went after Pac-
key as though he intended to settle
matters as quickly as possible. When
he came to close quarters, however,
Packey recovered from his attacks SO
~cleverly that the boy from Frisco
probably thought the local favorite
had on a suit of armor He made
swings, but the margin be-
tween his glove and the objective
point on Packey was so wide that he
probably thought Packey had gone
to the Fair. At the close of the sec
ond round Paekey after showing his
opponent something along the lines
of proper defense. proceeded to go
and just before the bell rang landed
two singing punches on the Frisco
boys jaw. The bell rang and both
men went to their corners. The audi
enee expressed great surprise when
the sponge came into the ring from
the corner occupied by the Frisco boy.
faekey walked over and shook hands
with him and hen stepped down
through the ropes smiling. The crowd
demanded an explanation. and An
nouncer Lawrence made the state
ment that the Kid had seriously in
jured his thumb. This slight mishap
was the only thing in connection with
general disapproyal of the audience.
From the numerous challenges that
offered, the game will probably
be revived in this district.
Young Gilbert. who was announe-
ed as the Fighting Boilermaker of
Salt Lake, 1t was stated would like
to take on any good 1873 pound man,
four pounds, and was willing
to back his opinion that he could
win.
Jimmy Britton appeared in the
ring just before the McFarland-Kid
Irish affair and challenged the win
ner to a go of ten rounds or a fin
ish. Britton and Mcfarland met and
fought a draw in Ely, as will be re-
membered, and the fight was such as
all followers of the game will patron
ize. Both are so well regarded here
that a second fight between them
could not fail to draw an enormous
house.
