The Alpine Athletic Club gave its monthly entertainment last evening, and a crowded house pleased the managers. The two events that ushered in the event of the evening could not be constd- ered appetizers, as they wers, 50 to speak, as tame as church mice. In fact, the ser- geant of police in attendance was seriou ly inclined to stop the alleged boxing, as the spectators were suffering an intense tired feeling. The feature of the evening, however, made up for the opening events. It was an eight-round contest between the game and willing auburn-haired pugilist Eugene Mulligan of the Merchants’ Athletic Club and Charles Johnson of the California Athletic and Swimming Club. The bout was thoroughly Interesting, as the con- testants fought every inch of ground from start to finish, and in the last round the contest was of such a spirited nature that every sport present was on his Ieet and shouting for his favorite. In the opening round Mulligan scored a lead until near the finish, when Johnson opened his dogs of war®and landed a few heavy right-handers on ‘“Mull's” chin which partially dazed the recipient. The second ended with honors even. In the third Mulligan landed four hard rights on Johnson's left ear and two body blows, which were \‘er*’, effective.

A sufficient number of San Francisco roughs .to fill an electric car of the San Francisco and San Mateo line left this city last night about 9 o’clock and crossed the county line into San Mateo, where they indulged in a prize fight with bare knuckles. The news of their departure from San Francisco came in by the way of Ocean View over the telephone wire with but meager information, stating that *“Kid"” Johnston and a man named McMahon had been matched to fight ten_rounds. Following this set-to Edward Prender- gast of Ocean View was to face a New York brulser named Collins In a like number of rounds. The motive which prompted these fights is sald to be the settlement of some old dges existin between the quartet. 'Ig;rflu exact plnci where the mill came off was carefully kept secret, fearing the information gfigh{ reach the Sheriff of San Mateo ‘ounty. The San Francisco police had been goutarl on the movements of the roughs, ut their jurisdiction ended at the county line and it was too late to telegraph the Sheriff of the adjoining county in time to stop the fight. ——————— AMONG THE PUGILISTS.

The sixth was Mulligan’s on points, as he repeatedly ducked very cleverly under Johnson's right-hand jabs and time and again he put his right on Johnson's ear. According to Queensberry rules a clever duck scores in favor of the ducker and against the man who falls to land. This is something which referees seldom take into consideration. The seventh round also ended in favor of Mulligan on points, as Johnson seem- ingly relied solely on his good right to put Mulligan out, but repeatedly falled to land.
