Two hundred sports of all sorts assembled in the Armory hall at 12 o'clock last night to witness a twenty-round glovo coutest between Charles Gillespie, of lloston, and "Joo" Giller, of Korristown, for a purse of $100. Tho enter taiumeut was opened by several bouts between fistic stars of local reputation, after which the big "go" was announced. Giller entered the ring, a well built, good looking young fellow of 130 pounds. He was stripped to tho waist and wore black trunks and hose of the same color. Miilesplo did not put in an appearance, however, and the spectators grew impatient. Ono of his backers then came forward and announced that tho receipts of the evening, after ex penses were paid, only amounted to $29, and that the Boston man refused to fight for loss .ban 8100. Tho crowd becauio angry, but that they might not bo disappointed by having no fight, "Pat" Cleary. a well known heavy weight, ottered to spar any man iu tho houso, four rounds for fun, or the gate receipts it was a tempting ofl'er to many local scrappers, but a glance at Cle ary's six feet and three Inches helghth sulhued to remove the temptation. Young Giller accepted tho ofl'er and the banty and the giant went at it hammer ana tongs for a minute until the crowd saw how one-sided honors were bound to bo and oallt d "enough." There was a general howl for a return of thoadnr.s-ion money, but as many dead-hexls and some swelledhcads had been admitted to the hall the management folt doubtful of their ability to make returns to the rlBht parties The alfdlr nnsan experience lesson to the management, for reasons ot their own, on jeuted to any advertisement of tho event and the result wus a poot attendance.
