A Good Sized Audience Well ricnsed With the Event. GRIFFIN AND ' BONER FINISH Tho Three Other Bouts Spoiled by Quitting, But They Were Hot While Thoy Lasted. Casper Leon's Walk Over Boner Got a Decision. Tho second athletic carnival under tho auspices of tho National Club, at Robbing' opera house, was a success, although notsuch a ono as tho friends of tho organization ex pected. Thoro was a combination of circum stances over which tho club had no control that worked injuriously in many respects to Us second effort, but tboaffalrwaaa sutllciont success in all respects to satisfy all concerned, in vlow of all circumstances. Tho patrons certainly got full value for their money. Thcro was ono mistako for which tho club Itself was responsible. That mistako was made in reducing the admission prico from ono dollar to fifty cents. Tho talent engaged and quality and length of program the club offers tho public warrants a prico of admission of no less than ono dollar and it is doubtful If as good an athletic exhibition could bo witnessed else where lu tho country for less than double tho amount. Tho club lost through this sourco last nightbecauso many who could and would havo paid ono dollar for last evening's ex hibition qulto naturally took advautago of tho reduced price. Not one of tho half dollar scats was left vacant.and on tho whole tho audienco was a good one. Although thrco of tho contests last night resulted in "quits" they wcro of such a fast and earnest character whllo they lasted that tho audienco was thoroughly satisfied. Tho club was not as well satisfied and tho action It took in connection with ono of tho bouts will detor any quitters from traveling a dls- tauco for tho loser's end In any exhibition tho club may arrange. Jack McNeil opened tho carnival by giving a very clover exhibition of hag punch ing and introduced many of tho tactics which "Young Mitchell" introduced at tho club's first exhibition a few weeks ago. Tho first fistic contest was between "Dinkey" Hughes, of Mahanoy Piano, aud "Jimmy" Moran, of town. Tho Iattor was tho heavier of tho two by many pounds and Dlnkoy" was tho tallest by about half a head. Tho latter could not overcomo the handicup in weight, however, and after mak ing a fast and furious opening soon went to tho wall. Ho was altogether too light and after going down to tho iloor several times announced in tho second lound that ho know when ho had enough. Great applauso was bestowed upon "Dinkey's" opponent who looked when ho went to his dressing room as cool as if ho had only just dressed to go Into tho riug. Tho second bout was between Harry Soy mour, of Ashland, and .Nod." Bullock, or Brownsville. Four rounds wcro announced, but tho Bullock only lasted thrco. Both men went at each other in tho start in ham mer aud tony fashion. Bullock was tho heavier and Seymour seemed to bo trained to lanky condition, Tho latter was cool and calculating, while his opponent was shifty and confident. Both showed such spirit in tho first round that enthusiastic applauso fol lowed them to their comers, but in tho second each gavo evidence of tho tired feel ing and seemed uuablo to land. Nearly all of Seymour's work was of tho upper cut order and tho other man apparently did not know how to avoid them. Tho blows woro made at both long and short rango and were so effective that in tho third round Bullock said "That will do" aud left tho ring. There was a largo attendanco of Ashland people and they went almost wild with enthusiasm over tho result. Tho third boxing event of tho evening was a "go" between Casper Leon, of New York pifrxf .lifimnjnn T-nolnrn linnffim vnt(.lif mill "Billy" Smith, tho champion bantam w eight of Philadelphia. This was tho first pro fessional bout of tho evening aud was disappointment. Charley White, former traiuor of champion "Bob" Fitzsimmous, aud I J. I-'eeley were In Leon's corner. Sum Flood and II. W. Schllchter, of Philadelphia, looked after Smith. Leon got a decision over Smith a few weeks ago before tho Empire Club In Now York aud was confident of winning last night,- but did not expect such a walk over.1 Tho young men weighed about 110 pounds each, They started with some earnestness, but with more science and grace than the preceding bouts disclosed iind inado a very pretty exhibition. Leon wa3 tho aggressor throughout and Smith mado some excellent stops and returns. When tho second round was nearly over and Leon was making matters warm for Smith at tho lattor'ssido of the ring, tho Philadelphia bantam suddculy dropped and rolled upon his hack. Charley Whito hurried Leon to his corner to await a decision. Smith was doubled up and claimed he had been fouled by a blow in tho groin. Ho refused to answer the ringing of tho bell and us Leon awaited him in tho center of tho riug Ilcfereo Tim Hurst announced, "Mr. Smith, fur somu un known reason, refusos to proceed With tho contest and I declare Mr. Leou tho winner, The club will not allow Smith anything." iSclillchter, who is tho sporting editor of the Philadelphia Item uud Smith s lacker, lulotly remonstrated with Hurst und stated 4i tho reporters that ho claimed his man had Men fouled. Hurst emphatically denied this aid advised Behlichter to drop Smith, "as ho isV rank quitter." Hurst added, and was confirmed by a memborof thoclub, thatafter arriving in Shenandoah Smith wanted tho bout reduced to six rounds and at ono time sceinid disposed to retuso to meet Leon at all Thei last event of tho evening was a 10 round' bout between "Pepper" Grillln, of Philadelphia, and John Boner, of Summit Hill. The weights announced were 150 pounds, but QritUu was somewhat lighter. "Choppy" Hess and W. 8. Wiblo, of l'hlla delphia, and W. V. Lewis, of Mahanoy City, stood behind tho "Pepper," und Daniel Conaban, Jamos Mcehan aud William Boner stood luft Boner's corner. There was no quitting ill either of tho men at any stage of tho gamo and both seemed to uo nauing iur u knock out, but at times oacli was so wary that Referee Iluret urged them to get to gether. Hurst gavo Boner tho decision and It WM received with satisfaction, but there Is little doubt that Grillln would havo been a winner in a longer contest. Boner did most of tho fighting in the ten rounds and got in more frequent and effective blows than Grillln did, but at the end tho latter was apparently as frosli as when ho started and much moro so than Boner. Tho luttcr is gamo and "heady." IN SENATE AND HOUSE. Tho rostnmro Appropriation 1)111 Flnnll; l'amm the Upper Hncly. "WAsniNOTON, April 8.
