In the second lound Muiphy landed one of his slcdire hainineis whkh taused the Hrookl)ii man to change his tlctlis. He lit himself out and loi a minute theie was the liveliest kind ot an exchange, Muiphy emeiglng with u bloody nose. MeDeimott led and land ed ut the openiiiii of the thlul lound, but when Muiph) showed up sttong on l etui ns MiDermott went back to his duckin tactics. Muiphy was faiily cov eied with the blood that flowed fioin his foiehead and nose while MeDei mott didn't show a snatch. 13oth men commenced to bieathe haid and tiom this out nilther of them had any wind to spaie. Muiph) 's dilves continued stiong and although the) weie falling short he inveiiubl) got the best ot the In-flghtlng that follow id and as u lule the clinch wound up with MoDerniott on the lopes und Muiphy over him.

Muiphy stalled In the eighth to light foxy and won waim applause by duck ing thut was quite as c lev el as Mc Deimott's. The little respite fiom foic iiig things siemed to help him, too, for towuids the wind up of this lound he followed up his leads bettei than he had been doing since the lli&t two lounds.

Mi. Torrey, an agent of the Game will company, was piesent . Ho was Clt) Solicitor Tone), ex-City Contiol lei Geoige llsele and Chief Hlckey, of the Hie depaitinent Agent Tone) held that the charge had aiisen in contusing a pionus.il of sale with u pioposn of lease.

When the city decldid to lease Instead of bii), the compaii) funiished "Gaidlnei" boxes Instead of those teimed "Pulmei -Gaid-Iner " The lattei me limited at $1J3 and tlie fonnei at $100, and on that point hinges the contioveis) Agent Tomy exi lulned Unit the coin pan) us6 the higher pi Iced box as It wus good business to maintain the most elliilent suv ice possible, the conipaii) being liable undei the lease eontiaet. Dx-Contiollu Hlsele stated that when the Hist extia boxes wne pui chased the question was lalsed as to whethei $1'J or $100 was the pioper pike.
