The boxing carnival in the K. of L. hall Saturday night was a grand success. The preliminary bout be tween W« Kelliher and N. Cunning ham, two local boxers, was fast and devoid of anything that looked like science. After four rounds of terrific slugging it was declared a draw. Kelliher should have gotten the de cision. The principals of the main bout were slow in putting in their appearance. McGeever was first in the ring. He was followed a few moments later by Travis. When stripped, McGeever looked a great deal the heavier man. Although it was claimed that he was only nine pounds heavier than Travis, 8 ounce gloves were used. The first 3 rounds were a pretty exhibition of scientific boxing, honors being about even.. Both men seemed confident. In th<* 4th McGeever started into do hx' s man, and Travis clinched repeatedly to save himself. This round was McGeever's. The sth was an exhi bition of scientificsluggling. Travis showed great gameness and Ability to stand punishment. In the/, <;th ftn d last round McGeever lai t <led hard and often, hitting Travi s, w hen and where he pleased. Tra v i s saved him self from a knockou t by clinching. He clinched 14 tinges in this round. When time was c a iied he held to the ropes for Referee Shannon of Athens gave McGeever the decis ion, but at thf. request of both boxers he changed i,,t an( j called the bout a draw. Muncy Valley.

Not being present it is impossible for us togo into details a'iul tell how the 16 to 1 scores were made, even had we been present, the attempt would be futile, as Mark .Twain only, of all living humorists could write it as it should IH» written. The score card showed no tftar plays nor even any good onefc'. There were errors and iniss liaips in profusion. This however c«ln be attributed to lack of practice. .The score Itself furnishes substantial proof that base ball is a science, and that off men are not scientists. The score: 38 to 7, favoring Lopez. Lincoln Falls. Haying is the order of the day I Roger Bro's. mill is nearly com pleted. Joshua Cott and wife are rejoicing over the arrival of a girl baby.
