The Bridgeport Boy Disappoints a South Norwalk Athletic Club Audience. " Louis Webster Again Visits oueer Street. The rooms of the South Norwalk Ath- letic club were packed on the occasion of their entertainment, last evening. Delegations were present from Bridge- port, Westport, Darien, Stamford, Greenwich and Danbury while North,- port, L. I. sent over a crowd of twenty- three. , The committee carried out their pro- gram in full with the exception of the exhibition of the Stamford midgets and the Monahan—Keefe bout of six rounds. In the case of the midgets, both were present but one was ill and unable to box. In the Monahan—Lane contest the principals were present and Mona- han ready to appear, but Lane, as usual, made a kick over the amount he was to receive and refused to go on. When the entertainment was gotten up two members of the committee visited Bridgeport and saw Lane and both advised him what purse the club would pay for a six-round go between him and Monahan. Lane was satisfied at that time to come, but when he arrived last night he expected to take every- thing in sight in which he was greatly mistaken, as the S. N. A. C. has a way of running its own entertainments. After disputing with the committee Lane came up stairs and going to the representatives of the press said,“I was to get $50 to Spur Monahan six rounds and the-committee want to rob me of $15. If they think Monahan can fight I will fight him for any amount and put up a forfeit (1.5550 now. I Will allow him seven pounds. I can light at 135 and will 'allow him to fight at 142 pounds.” - The blufi' was a good one and would probably have been received only that Harry has a record for making just such flakes. On several Occasions he has been matched to meet a good man and when the time came he disputed over the purse and disappointed the audience, or else failed to appear, so that when he made his customary bluff last night it was well understood by the reporters. However, his fluke resulted in Dan Keefe taking his place and giving a far better exhibition than he would have done, much to the satisfaction of the audience. . It was just 8:34 o’clock when John Conroy stepped into the ring and after cautioning the audience about being quiet during the boats, introduced old reliable Daniel McIntyre as referee and Louis Potter time keeper. Referee McIntyre cautioned the and- ience about being quiet and then opened the entertainment by announc- ing three rounds'between Bobby Curry and James Manning. The bout cou- vulsed the house, and the swings, fancy movements, wrestling and pushing was too much for the audience and the hall rang with peals of laughter. It was not until the bell had announced the close of the bout that Bobby woke up and sailed into Jimmy and the two were parted with difficulty by referee McIn- tyre. ' The next boat was between Tom Mc- Nerney of Winnipauk and John More— lock of Danbury. It was for four roundsand proved one of the most in: teresting of the evening. Tom had the advantage in height and reach but in weight they were about even. The first round was used up in fiddling, Morelock being on the defensive. Tom led and reached the face with his left forcing Morelock to the ropes. This Was the only point made and the gong sounded with both men fiddling. In the second Morelock lead and Tom shifted him and planted his righton the jaw. During the third round some lively exchanges were made, Tom’s left meet- ing Morelock’s face, and just as the gong sounded his right collided With the stomach taking Morelock off his feet. The round was in McNerney’s favor. . The fourth round was also in Tom’s favor, he landing on jaw twice in suc- cession without a return. The third bout between Jack Woods of New York and Fred Sirett of Bridge- port was the most exciting of the even- ing. They met at the last .entertain- ment given by the club and Sirett bested Woods, but this time things were different and Woods out-pointed Sirett and gained a clean knock down in the third round. ' In the first round both men were can- tious. Sirett lead and Woods ducked. Woods let go a left swing which would have ended Sirett had he» not cleverly ducked. This was followed by a hot Norwalk, Conn, Saturday Evening. April 18, 1896. one in the ribs that made Sirett~ wince. Woods rushed and Slrett side-stepped and sent Woods to the floor with a hot. one back of the neck. Round two opened with Woods forc- ing the fighting. His right went to Sirett’s wind and his left to the jaw. 1. Woods rushed again and Sirett side- ' stepped and sent him through the ropes with another one on the back of the neck. Woods started the third round with a hot left on Sirett’s jaw, and Sirett got in one on the back of Woods’ neck by side-stepping one of his rushes. Woods retaliated, however, by sending Sirett to the floor with a straight left full cn thejaw. He also got in a hard right over the heart. left as the gong sounded. Woods also opened the fourth round with a left that Sirett cleverly dodged. Sirett planted a hard right on Wood’s jaw that sent his head back as though on hinges. He followed it up with a right on the side of the head and Woods slipped down in getting away. The round ended with Woods getting in another stifi' body punch on Sirett. Woods started the fifth round with a body blow, narrowly escaping Siret't’s stifi' upper-cut. Woods rushed again and Sirett sent him to the floor. He tOok his time in getting up and Sirett thought he was going out and made for him. He was quickly advised of his error, however, by Woods sending his left to the neck, his right and left on the jaw and a stiff right in the wind. He followed these up with a ter- 'rific right hand swing that Sirett clever- ly dodged with a laugh. . The sixth round was also Opened b Woods sending his left into Sirelt’s face and getting Sirett’s right in the same place in return. Sirrtt sent Woods to his knees by a swing. but the latter was up and ended the round with a hard body punch. The Saunders midgets then gave an amusing exhibition and received hearty applause from the audience. The fourth event was the six round go between Monahan and Keefe, and the audience were on tip-toe during the prelimimary arrangements. When the gong soundedboth men met in the cen. ter of the ring and the battle was on. ' Round 1. Both spurred for an open- ing for some time,Monahan making the first lead, a left that reached Keefe’s ribs and sent him into the ropes, Keefe let go his right and Dutch ducked. Dutch swung his right for Keefe’s ribs making the latter grunt. Both were fiddling when the gong sounded, Points. Monahan 2 Keefe 0 Round 2. Dutch opened with a left that reached Keefe’s jaw. Keefe let go his right twice in succession and Dutch ducked both. Several clinches were made but no blows landed. Points, Monahan 1 Keefe 0. Round 3. Dutch opened again with a left on Keefe’s jaw. Keefe upper-cut Dutch several times but failed to land. He then tried his right but Dutch ducked cleverly out of danger. Dutch rushed and both clinched and went to the ropes. ' Points, Monahan 1 Keefe 0. Round 4. Dutch led and missed and slipped down. He was quickly up and sent Keefe against a post with a left in the face. Keefe swung his~right which caught Dutch on the shoulder. He also tried an upper-cut but Dutch stopped it. Both clinched and Keefe’s head out Dutch over the left eye. In return Dutch got in two lefts on Keefe’s neck. Both were sparring when the gong sounded. Points, Monahan 3 Keefe 0. Round 5. Dutch again started the ball with a right on Keefe’s jaw and followed it with a hard one over the heart. Keefe upper-cut which caught Dutch on breast and neck. He fol- lowed with a savage right which slipped off Dutch’s shoulder. Points, Monahan 2, Keefe 1. '- Round 6. Keefe started in hammer and tongs and the round was a series of rushes into the ropes, not a point ‘WILB scored by either man although they each made several attempts to get one in. . The final go was of eight rounds be- tween Louis Webster of East Norwalk and Jack Lynch of Brooklyn. In the first round both were cautious, Webster leading and missing. Both then got in right and left en the jaw. Webster slapped Lynch several times on the jaw and the latter laughed. In the second round Webster slapped Lynch with his left and the latter re- taliated. They then mixed it up and both gotin some hard right and left swings. ‘_ . The third round _ was a short one. Both went to work with right and left. Lynch suddenly shot out his right. and Webster went down. He arcs? slowly but seeing Lynch coming for’ him againithought discretion the better part of valor and laid down and gave up. This closed the entertainment which had been ably arranged and carried out 4; Both got in aright and ' " v were touching the fi.or. by the committee, Messrs.

FACTS FOR FARMERS. a Try all of the novelties that the seeds- men offer, so as to learn by experi- ment what they are, but; try them on a limited scale at first. Winter dairying requires a great deal of attention, but properly con- ducted it pays better than. summer dairying, for the prices are generally better. Half a. bushel of potatoes a day for a milk cow is the limit recommended by Prof. Fjord. More than that in- juriously affects the milk, he says. Wood ashes can be used on any kind of crop with advantage, and they also benefit the land. For orchards and pastures wood ashes cannot be ex- celled. The Swedish agriculturnl college finds the best. time to apply nitrate of soda. to spring wheat to be half at time it sprouts and half when it is head- ing. - ' It is not an easy matter to determine tliersprofit from a crop, as the cost of the plant food and the conditionof the land aft-er the crop is removed must also be considered. The objection to orchard grass is that it “stools,” yet it is an excellent grass for a permanent pasture, en- dures drought well and grows luxuri- antly where some grasses would not. thrive. ' An implement that is not in good order is costly,us too much lost time re- sults from its use. Examine all the implements, as an hour spent in such work may save days during the busy season. The little daughter of Mr. Fred VVebber Holland, Mass, had a very bad cold and, cough which he had riot been able to cure with anything. I gave him a 25 cent bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, says W. P. Holden, merchant and postmaster at \Vest Brimfield, and the next time I saw him he said it worked like a charm. This remedy is intended especially for acute throat and lung diseases such as colds, croup and Whooping cough, and it is famous for its cures. .There is no danger .in giying it to. children for it contains nothing injurious.
