Sample of Alle- gheny, Pa. The contest waged in the su- preme lodge was wholly on the question | of whether the unwritten law that a su preme chancellor shall not succeed him self continue to be observed. Many of the strongest opponents of Sample's re-elec- tion came from his own state, but the op- position was not waged on personal grounds, the growth and progress of the order under Mr. Sample's leadership be- ing unquestioned. Seventeen seconding speeches made for Fethers and the ballot resulted in §8 to 59 in his favor. The contest for the office of supreme vice chancellor was extremely warm. The nominating and seconding speeches occu- pled most of a very long afternoon session The candidates were: Tracy R. Bangs of Grand Forks, N.

Corbett and Charles (Kid) McCoy, under the auspices of the Twen- | tleth Contury club at Madison Square Gar den s over and in less than five rounds Corbett proved himself be the better man That Corbett and McCoy are the cleverest exponents of the art of self-defense amons the present generation of the heavywelghts goes without saying and keen judges of the game who saw tonight's fight dec that it was the cleverest exhibition ever witnessed in the ring. Up to the moment that the men stepped into the ring opin- fons to their respective ability were widely divergent. Many claimed, and rightly that Corbett would prove to be the stronger as well the cleverer, and it was through his superb feinting and heavy slugefng that he put McCoy down and out. McCoy's fricnds all along have claimed that he was equally as dexterous with his hands, eyes and feet as the former champion, and in addition to this they said that the Kid could hit harder than bett. All who bave met M acknowl- edge that his blows are powerful ones and that they sting and cut wherever they land. Tonight. however, while McCoy landed some stinging jabs, he did not cut Corbett's skin, nor did he land a single heavy right hand blow during the contest On the other hand, Corbett, when he dropped science and began to slub, landed hard rights and lefts which simply took McCoy's guard away, and when Corbett found a vulnerable spot in the region of McCoy's heart, two lefts, divided by a right, ended the battle the ring in superb condition. McCoy was heavier by scveral pounds than on any previous occasion when he battled against other opponents. He said himself that he never felt better in his lif that was never so fit as he was for this contest His looks in the ring before the fight and during the first three rounds bore out all that McCoy had said about himself. The long meeting be too an Cor- toy and Corbett in Good Shape. Corbett was also in tiptop shape. The rumors that wero circulated early in the day that he was afficted with rheumatism were exaggerated, as Corbett himself he was at fit as a fiddle and had only e perienced a stiffn when he awoke this morning. His footwork, always clever, in fact, marvelously so, showed no rheumatic trouble in the big fellow's make- up and as for his work with his hands, it could not be improved upon In the opening round McCoy showed o much better advantage than Corbett seemed very confident, though ca while Corbett was nervous and ill at McCoy started out with his usual coolness, but Corbett was fidgety. » entire roung was taken up with the cleverest kind of feinting and sparring on McCoy's part, while Corbett's work left very little to be desirea. In the second round Corbett came up in better form and his unecasy feeling had evi- dently left him. His fretfulness and nerv- ousness had disappeared and he gave exhibition which could only be given by a man thoroughly posted in the innermost points of the sclentific art of boxing. White not & blow was landed by either in the first round, the greater part of the second was equally as unfruitful of damage to either boxer. Corbett frequently endeavored with rights and lefts to reach the Kid, but the Hoosler fighter was too nimble on his undes pinnings and his stopping and blocking wers marvelous. Corbett got to the head towara the latter end of the sccond round and Me- Coy jabbed his provoking left to Corbett's face. In the third they got to each other oftener, but it was in the fourth that Corbett began to take McCoy's measure. At times Cor bett stopped his sclentific work and resorted to slugging tactics, which proved very effective. McCoy was forced to clinch and it was then seen that Corbett was surely getting the upper hand. McCoy began to break ground frequently and after the bell bad sent them to their corners, while both showed eigns of fatigue, McCoy cers tainly the more weary signs up Me- eful, se. was McCoy Mere Punching Bag. In the Aifth and concluding round Corbett forced McCoy into the former's corner. where the Kid kept blocking and sparring for an openiug to get ont. Corbett swung for the head, but McCoy ducked under- neath it very cleverly and jumped to the center of the ring. Jim rushed him across the ring and by clever work forced McCoy back into the corner again, where he sent right and left to the Kid's head. This was the beginning of McCoy's undoing Corbett went to him, using both hads swinging and stabbing and occasionally uppercutting with the left. McCoy's de fense availed him littlo against the on slaught and Corbett soon had the Kid at his mercy Kid Do McCoy saw that n and Out. he was no longer able to ward off the big fellow's blows and he threw his arms his face, holding his head down in hopes of saving himself from a knockout punch. Corbett relent lessly showered lefts and rights, which straightened McCoy up and then Jim swung a left which erashed into McCoy's body. McCoy doubled up and in doing so held Corbett's left glove. Corbett drove him away with a right the heart and as the Kid went back ring, Jim leaped after him, landing another left smash on the same t and the Kid dropped to the floor. McCoy bravely tried to get up, but the three blows had taken all his strength away whilo he made frantic endcavors to get up Referee Charley White counted off the ominous ten seconds. By an almost superhuman effort McCoy stood up after he had been counted out, but he dazed and the referee had to push him towa his cor ner. his seconds took him in hand Inside of minutes McCoy walked of the ring, closely surrounded by handlers, as he was tottering on Meanwhile Corbett's friends had iato the ring and surrounding the low showered congratulatic when he was announced the winner.

Nothing in the way of busi- | ness remains to be transacted, the next | two days being occupied entirely in excurs sions, patriotic the parks and other aftairs of a social character.

The committee appointed consider the annual report of the mander-in-chief approved of if, with the exception of his recommendation of an effort to secure the change of the date of Memorial day from May 30 to the last Sunday in May. The report was adopted The delegates then took up the ve question of pensions. Over the report of this committee and over various amend men! d substit which members had prepared, rather warm debate an | ticipated, but the report as submitted by the committee was adopted without amend- ment and practically without debate. The main feature of the somewhat lengthy re- port was the petition to congress to pass & bill providing for a court of appeals to immediately slon applications now nending and which court of appeals shall have final jurisdic- tion. Later in the day pension matters were again brought before the delegates by | the report of the committee on resolu- tions on the subject of service pensions. Over this question the committee was di- vided and majority and minority reports were presented. The majority report, | which was adopted after a somewhat | | lengthy discussion, recommended that the whole matter be referred to the com- mittee on pensions, thus practically bury. ing it until the next annual encampment. The minority report, presented by Past Commander Hurst of Ohio, recommended the age by the encampment of a reso- lution favering service based on length of service Pension matters being disposed of the sction of officers was taken up and in an eloguent speech Major William Warner of Kansas City placed Major Rassieur of t.
