Gibbons was very confident and | anxious, | Not a moment was lost in the tenth. Both | st men came together like rams, but Daly’s at ipts at punishment were met with in est by the cool Patterson lad, but toward the end of the round Daly landed three hard rights, which bothered Gibbons considerably and renewed mterest again Following this came a round of very warm fighting. Daly, who up to this time had been getting the short end of the contest, recovered wonderfully, meeting Gibbons with stiff returns, though towards the close of the round Gibbons hammered in hot shot and sent Daly to his corner in tough shay Gibbons had the lead still In the twelfth Daly starts the blood from Gibbons’ nose, but still the Jersey boy is the ressor, with Daly gamely holding his | own casily. Gibbons' left swings do fearful damage, but Daly has still a terrific clip up his sl and Gibbons is now beginning to recognize this fact. Both about in the same ondition So o Real Hot Fighting. Tn the thirteenth round, Gibbons leads on | the stomach and uppercuts Daly in the mouth and a moment later repeats’ the dose Both are a trifle winded, but neither will allow the other a_moment's rest. Gibbons | almost knocks Daly through the ropes, but the Bangor lad lands two stiff lefts in re turn. Gibbons rushes Daly to the ropes as the round closed. In the fourteenth Daly was the aggressor, but gets hit for hit. Daly tries his right, misses a terrific clip, and then both are cau- tious for the first time during this extraor- dinary mill. No results. In ‘the fifteenth Gibbons' landed three times on Dal the blood flowed. Daly attempted to fight back, but Gibbons mixed matters so viciously with right jolts that Daly is sent | 10 his abode very slecpy. The sixteenth was a corker. Gibbons was at his man like a cyclone, knocking him about the room and all but putting him out, | though Daly demonstrated a remarkable | greed for punishment The next round Daly recovered somewhat and tried his right unsuccessfully, and | Gibbons slipped in the clinch, with Mike on top of him bbons onfregaining his feet | went right at Mike and 'is apparently put- ting on the finishing touches with his right Daly Hard to Finish. In the cighteenth round Daly started toward Gibbon in a desperate attempt to turn the tide. but Gibbons was shifty and covered ground too fast for Mike. Gibbons as ususl sent Mike to his corner in a dis tressed state. Both men stuck close to one another in the ninetcenth, trying hard to land the right, Gibbons strong and Daly going. iibbons still retains the lead in the twentieth but is unable to land the knockout clip. Gibbous is very cool and determined His great advantage” in reach h Daly awfully. But very little done in the twenty-first. In the twenty-sccond a stiff right-hander on Daly’s neck was the only important feature. The next round shows Gibbons' advantage, but Daly's disposition to accom- modate Austin in any style keeps the Patter- son boy busy. It is a desperate fight. In the twenty-fourth round matters were still unchanged. Daly fights pluckily and earn- estly, but is unable to do wuch execution Alinost Ended Michael. The twenty-fifth started with a clinch, in which Daly went down. Gibbons starts the blood from Daly’s left ear with a_right hand swing, and puts him down for eight seconds, and near the close knocks him down again for six seconds, and was finishing him as the gong sounded. ' In the twenty-sixth Gibbons forced Daly to his knees time and again, but the Bangor man s still full of fight, though nearly gone. In the twenty-seventh Gibbons smashed Daly all over the ring, and Daly being almost hopeless, shoved his knee so eral times into Austin’s abdomen in the mix-up and was cautioned to desist. He was all out of it. swinging left sore mouth and ndicaoped | hting was | Daly Desperate. In the twenty-cighth Daly pursued his mean tactics, ana is utioned by Captain Barrett. He is desperate. and can last but little longe In the twenty-ninth Daly terribly, Daly falling repeatedly to save himself. Itis u hideous fight. The thirtieth | was another vicious one, Gibbons punishing Mike with right and left and uppercutting him on his attempts to clinch. Daly's game. ness and stamina are marvelous. The next round Gibbons walked out brlsklg‘ and staggered Daly with a straight right, Daly wobbling but desper- ately game. A tremendous left in the ear knocks Daly to the canvas, aud a right swing in the chin knocks him out, It was oue of the most stubborn battle fought in this country for years, and whilc Daly is a wonderfully good iittle man, Gib- bons is a botter one. Tired of the Scrappers The carnival closes tomorrow evening, and out of the thousands and thousands of stran- gers in the city there are probably none to Tegrot this fact, save the short end pugs, the proprietors of the St. Charles, the boozo Joints, cabbies and One-eyed Connelly. - The remainder of mankind hid been surfeited to nauseation with fights and_fighters. As a fitting close of this week of unbridled impet- uosity, excitement and debauchery comes what is expected to be the greatest pugi- listic event within the the aunals of fistiana, the $0,000 meeting between the two middleweight giants, Jim Hall and Bob Fitzsimmons, To those who have devoted time and study to the ring during the past quarter of a century and who have “kept tab” with almost re- ligious fidelity upon the scores of men promi- uent in its affairs, there hus been no mateh that has awakened the keen interest that this one has, The international battle, memorable as it is, botween John ¢ Ameriean prodigy, and Tom S inglish paragon, thirty-two years ago, none of Jack Dempsey’s championship encounters, nor John L.’s long line of knockouts, even in- sluding his defeat at the hands of clever Jim Corbett, are to be mentioned in tho same tonnection. CGiibbons punished There's Something in This, From the fuct that the two rival Aus- | iralians ave equally matched in skill and all the prorequisites cssential to pugilistic dis- tinction, the affair is one that has been looked forward to with the most intense and | feverish interest ever sinco the two men have been in the country, ang particularly so since the momentous night when the human gorilla, Fitzsimmons, shatte battered and destroyed America's fistic’ idol, Jack Dempsey. Corbett's defeat of the big fellow has been nccepted as an exemplification of the theory of evolution, and is almost fable, but the annihilation of Jack Dem by the antipodean moustrosity is a thing yot 10 be avenged. Hundreds and thousands think the hour has arrived, and the excite ment over the probable fruition of this hon of years is something that surpasses any- thing of the kind previously known Another thing that adds to all_this extra- ordinary iuterest is the maguitude of the urse for which the two men are to contend. “orty thousand dollars is i fortune within {tself, and such a one us millions of atams called men, superior in point of intellectual, physical or moral lifo to the priveipals in this unheard-of competition, will work out their allotted days without attaining half its worth. Eob Fitzsh Since the day when Bob Fitzsimmons landed in this country a ponniless emigrant, who, for want of funds, worked his way to San Francisco from his native soil, the land of the kangaroo, the American public has been interested in his doings in the ring His easy viotory over McCarthy on the Pacific slope, his more easy defeat of Upham in this city, and the record which he had made for himself on his native heath attracted the attention of the sporting world and the famous match with Jack Dempsey followed in no long time. The defeat of the Non- pareil is too fresh in the public mind to re- quire a repetition of the phases of the cong test. Fitzsimmons' victory stamped him as mon al Career, | | | | | little w | rising to his elbow | ‘ere's | Har { der Ahe, committee on r v wonderful fighter. Dompsey had all along been noted for his quickness nnd shiftiness, but the cloverness of Fitzsimmons 8o far ex celled his ability in this respect that the contest was strongly marked. Fitzsimmons next fought Peter Maher, the heavy weight who was heralded as the champion of Ire Innd, but who only indifferently well repre. sented his country. Heavy weight as he was, strong and clover as those who saw the fight have admitted, Fitzsimmons put him to sleep in twelve short, hot rounds, The tall Australian can justly be credited with remarkable strength, shiftiness, clever. ness at long and short and the most essential requisite, coolness in the ring. He is quick asaeat’in his every movement and his pistoulike jabs with both and | left have in no small degree tended to give him that eminent position which he has so long held Hall Also Some Pumpkins, Jim Hall, the equally tall and strong op ponent of the champion, is a foeman worthy of the prowess of which Fitzsimmons has proven himself to be possessed As o boxer he is Fitzsimmons' cqual and in the skillful use of his fe his | ability to get away th roper moment and quickness to take advantege of the slightest ovening Jim Hall is credited with being able to excel the p it holder of the title of champion of America at the widdle weight limit.

Fitz simmons has been stung to the quick by the widespread publication of the fact that he wave in to Hall in the ne by. He is proud of the reputation which he has won in this country, and fully realizes that he must whip Hall bofore the stain which rests on his escuteheon is removed. Hall. on the other hand, is fealous of the honors which his countryman has won Fitzsimmons stands in_his way to fame and the possibility of possessing a~ fortune, and it is safe to suy that he will exert himself to the utmost to make Fitzsimmons stand aside from his path and clear his way to pugilistic glory, and for one I think he will succeed. How much may be s by carping Dessimists of the lack of honor in pugilists | of the day, some attention should be given | the fundamental principle that in ev i there lies some good, and that naturc docs not make a man whoily bad. The men have realized that any jobbery will be discovere should it be attempted, and as it is in the aim of winning the bi¢ purse, which carvies with it a reputation not to be disregarded id anadditional possibility of wealth, they will make the effort of their lives and fight as they have never before done. osing Game for the Club, The trains arriving here this morning brought additions to the crowds in attend nce on the fights and there will be mor peaple present than w ted last we Tt is doubtful, how if’ the club will bo able to make up the purse from the re It will probably have to g pockets o wet entirely clear. Neither man however, has any apprehension touching the ability of the clib to pay the entire sum to the winner. The arrival of Hall has aroused interest considerably in the fight tomorrow evening, but betting men are yev a trifi timid, although Hall is slightly a_ favorite in the wagers that are made. Hall is doing k today and it is expected he will enter the ring weighing about 175, Fitzsim- mons will be seven or cight pounds lighter. Most of the fighters here pin their faith to Hall, because-they believe he will be able to hit Fitzsimmons and most experts are | agreed that Fitzsimmons does not relish punishment. Fitzsimmons will be in the city in the morniag Hall Is Very Confident. I had a pleasant chatwith Hall and Charlie Mitchell in their apgrtments at the S Charles. There was 10 one present but John Kline, Hall's traincr, Charlic Guuslinger, manager of the New Orleans Base Ball elub, Jack McAuliffe and myself. Hall and hand: some Charlie, stripped to the buff, lay out- strotehed on their respective couches, and two grander specimens of physical men I'll venture could not be found in a ten days trip. Hall gossiped in a good natured humor about Omaha, and his threeround set-to with Juck Davis at the Grand Opera house in particular.

Hallis a slight favorite in the betting to- night. At the pool rooms today the state- ment is made that very little money is being posted on the fighters. Eighty-five to 100 and 17 to 20 were offered on Hall, making him still the favorite in the betting, and it looks as if he would go to the postas first choice. Ninety-five to 100 and 19 to 20 are the figures on Fitzsimmons. | d Smith, who slaughtered big Joe God- dard, has come and gone. He was followed about the streets all day yesterday, until train time.

NEW Youk, March 7.—The eyes of the base ball world will be centered upon New York during the week of the spring meeting of the National league, which begins av the Fifth Avenue hotel today. The meeting may last several days, for more important work has to be done than at any previous meeting held in years, The clubs will make n better financial showing than has been the case since the outbreak of the brotherhood. Even then the New York ciub was firmly established, and its finances are ngain_n good shape About $0,000 of the 0,000 of bonds issued by the club has 0 sub- scribed by the local stockholders. The only | club which showed financial distress wa that of Louisville, but the Kentuckians have gone down into their pockets aud can now show a bold front. They have secured new grounds, The schedule will be the last thiug to be adopted. Active work on the proposed changes in the playing rules may not got under way before Wednesday. Well informed critics and players will bo invited into the meeting to give their ideas on chauges. Messrs. Byrne, Russell and Von s, bave agrecd 1 alterations and upon a report, but sever amendments may be made. Everybody ad- mits that the pitchers become too con- spicuous and that the autocrat of the dia- mond must go back. The pitcher's art has udvanced more rapidly than that of the batsman, and as lively batting is one of the chief charms of the game the pitcher must be handicapped. The committee's idea is to put back the pitcher to the center of the diamond, or sixty-three feet from the home plate. This would make the pitcher deliver the ball about eight feet farther than under the old rules. The change will play havoe with many of the veteran pitchers and it will be the means of bringing new faces to the front.

Simply because they are the people | with a pull, the men who have their hands | on every of the sixteen hun dred and odd postoftic in_ the state, @ machine that has secured a morigage on every federal office in Iowa The efforts of this committee to secure a firm erip on the patronage of the new administra- tion makes an interesting tale, w t They Aro Resol Two weeks after Cleveland was elected the state central committee met in Des Moines. It was a secret gathering. Several demo- rats from different parts of the state were | requested tc be present at the meeting. or conference as it was called. While these democrats are all prominent in the party, it is nevertheless a fact that they are all ‘on friendly ~terms with the committee, forming a sort of an auxiliary to the committec itself. A resolution which read about like this was introduced: ctly disposed of In the plicant fo \to They stion unlike is being w dined ich tities, cost be in ms ny prohit nd drug stores hats close one d Upon. local office in Town shall be following manner: The as- SfHCe nust receive the endorsemen t of the merber of the committec who repre- sents sof pulicant’s distriet, gether with the endorsement of the ¢ ted candidate for congress in the p district, before he shall receive the endorsement and recognition of this committee, Inecase the sald comniittee- man and the said defeated candidate for con- gress are unable (o ngrce upon 4 candidato then the matter shall be referred to a commit this committee to be com- Richardson, Towa’s member of the national committee; W Hayes, lowa's onl mocratic congress 1, and Charles nfle chairman of the state central commit tee ie decision of the board of arbitr to be final There was some discussion as to what was meant by the term *strictly local oftice,” and it was explained that it included all post oftices and pension examine There was not much debate on the resolution, and it was eventually passed with scarcely a pro- test. In the Office Brokerage Busin The state centr posed of J 1 committee has gone into the office brokerage business, by what au thority nore but the members of it know. Blank applications for postofices have been printed by the cominitiee, together with a circular ‘of instruction. These circulars reveal the commiytec’s mode of operation The circular starts off with an account | of the Des Mgines conference. It | then goes on, to .tell of the neces- sity of securing” fhe' signature of the committeeman for the district in which the applicant resides, together with the signa- ture of the defeated candidate for con- gress. When the candidate secures these he niust send his petiion, with such other names as he has gotten in his town, to_ the chairman of the 'state central committee. The chairman will bring the paper before the committee, and it will be signed by every member of that body. Then, the ition having been compared, it will be laid away till all the applications of can- didates for federal jobs in Towa have been received. When they are all in the com- mittee will delegate one of its members to carry them to Washington, where they will'be presented in a bunch’ to the presi- dent. . The circular concludes with the in- junction to send in a liberal amount to pi the expenses of the delegate while he is in Washingéon keeping an oye on the applica tions. Bowing In Submission to the Autocrats. Four-fifths of the postoflices in the state have been dealt out by the committee in this manner he committee has held two me ings since the first conference for no other reason in the world than to sign petitio and to look after the business of the broket age oftice. Every meeting has been attended by swarms of applicants. They come from every corner of the state. There have been pitiful and sensational scenes at these gath- i The sad part of it has been to white haired men who have been life-long democrats, bowi with bared heads before the committee mem- begging for recognition that they might get a postoftice at some cross roads, The sensational partof it has been the bit- ter denunciation by prominent members of the party of the committee's methods in usurping, as they put it, the federal appoint- ments. An Alton man appeared before the last meeting of the committee. Pale and trembling with rage he shook his finger in the faces of the members and declared that their action with reference to the oftices had made Towa republican next fall by not les: than 25,000, Have Done Great Damage, The committee has simply played havoc with the party throughout the state. There ave bitter fights for postuftices everywhere. The committee endorsement of a candidate does not, of cout se, deter any other democrat from being a candidate and getting up a petition, though the way things are run at present he does not stand much of a show of coming out victorious. A fair sample of the rows that are going on_ev whe) found at Carroll. Senator Rich, a good and old democrat, wants to be post- master, He is the choice of four-fifths of the democrats of his city. Committeeman ylor, however, who represents Rich’s di: trict, refused to sign the latter's petition, favoring Editor Powsts, Powers having se- the indorsement and also that Ryan, the; defeated andi- for congress, of course date state centr ceived the Lcommfttee, and his papers re- signatures of every member of it Aud here is where the funny part of it comes in, Taylor liyes at Algona, which is fully a hundred milés from Carroll, as far away from the lattér place as is Des Moines Yet Taylor, an ugten stranger in Carroll, goes there and picks qut a postmaster which the majority of the people of the place do not wart. This merely shows how the commit- tee'. system work#! ' Cases exactly similar to this one are to befdund in a dozen cities of the state. In many instances the committee- man and the defeated candidate for congress have been unable 1o agree, and this has re- sulted in much troublg. Cases of this kind will have to be taken before the board of arbitration and will in the end, of course, be decided in favor of the machine man. Saving Thelr Own Bacon, But the committee's greed for office does notend here. Not only has it grabbed off all the minor places, which it intends to deal out to friends, but, with very few excep- tions, every member of the ¢vganization has picked out'a nice fat job for himself. All the good juicy plums that Cleveland will have to hand out iu Iowa the committee members think will go to them, Fdward g{\mler of Des Moines, one of the leading members of the organization, and the man who, in fact, it is claimed, originated the brokerage scheme, is out for the Des Moines postoffice, one of the best paying fed- eral places in Iowa. Of course he has got the support of the entire central committee @nd the auxiliary members mentioned in the fore part of this dispatch, and if this counts for anything he will probably be appointed Then there is Chairman Fullen.

Tt has what is called a boat popt tion of 150,000. Boats are arranged in the river 18 to form perfect streets, They touch each other and their prows form side walks. They contain one, two and three rooms, the back room being reserved as a joss house and it _contains the images of worship.

Each town is surrounded by a wall and has a fort on some commanding place. The emperor has not until recently al- lowed his subjects to see him. When he emerges from his palace and goes through a particular street it means death to anyone who looks upon him, the idea being that he is the Deity.
