FELTZ BEAT M’NEIL IN RECORD TIME. BELLOWS FALLS, N. H., Jan. 16.— One of the shortest fights on record was decided before the Fall Mountain A. C., at North Walpole, last night. The fighters were Tommy Feltz, of South Brooklyn, and Dave MeNell, of Immediately after the bell had sounded for the fight to begin, Felts rushed at McNeil and punched him heavily about the head and body.

The contest was sched- fo : uled for ten rounds, but Stift went down and out after forty seconds’ fight-| ing in the fourth, There was little satisfaction in the fight, save at the conclusion, as Stitt, : by his clinching tactics, gave Ryan little opportunity to get in his fine work. It meant $100 more to Stift In the share of the receipts if he could keep on his feet to the end of the ten rounds, but he un- doubtedly did not expect to weather the storm, although he tried valtantly, gnd once in a while cut loose a hard one just to show that he had fighting blood in him, He admitted vefore time was called that he was “not tickled to death with the prospects.’ Ryan came very near finishing his task in* the second round.

In spite of the order of Goy. Yates that the Olympia A. C., of this clty, could not hold the proposed contest between Ole Olsen, of Chicago, and "Kid" Williams, of Philadelphia, the officials of the club opened the doors of the club-house, Over three hundred men, including ‘a number of the members of the Legis- lature, paid their money for ticketa to see the fight. When Gov. Yates learned that the club officials insisted on hold- ing the fight he ordered out the militia and the contest, of course, did not take place.
