It was a gala day aboard the new cruiser, which lay just off the Union Iron Works, within the very shadow of her nativity as it were. From the prow of the Chitose float- ed the national colors of Japan, the rising sun upon the snow-white field, while from the stern the flag of the royal Japanese navy flapped defiantly in the wind. The reception was from 2 to 5 o'clock, and during that interval innumerable tugs and launches were kept busy plying hed in | tance sparring, a few blows being landed by both without any damage. The second found Otts on the aggressive, but every attack he made was met by Maloney with stinging lefts and rights. Otts nearly went through the ropes in trying to avoid one | of Maloney’s rushes. ! The end came unexpectedly in the third | round. . After fiddling for an opening Otts | led with his long left which Maloney neat- 1y blocked, but Otts shot across his right and landed flush on his opponent’s jaw, Zending him to the floor.

The mpion lightweight showed no igns of punishment, but declared he was sher than his late opponent. In speak- | f the fight the “Kid” said: ‘T admit 1 was a little bit on street, but w could 'have gone on brother had not come into the ring.

Immediately after declaring ‘‘Mysteri- ous” Bllly Smith the victor, Referee Mc- Donald informed the press represent: tives that he did s cause Lavigne' brother entered cie at an untimely moment. “Had this not occurred,” said the ref- | eree, “and the fight had gone the limit, | T would have dec draw, ause in my_opinion I d th of the fight up to th the tenth to the fourteenth Smith showed to b ri advantage.
