the inevitable man of business had to appear on the scene and they approached Mr. Downs, the manager of the Kowloon Hotel, to do the necessary. Downs, first assuring himself that it was going to be a fair go got to work and saw to all the details. It has been said in many quarters that Downs promoted the meeting and should not have refereed the fight. This was not so He arranged the financin side in the interests of two good men who can fight, but know about as much of business management as a cow does of the Kreutzer Sonala. The
work done by Downs made the contest the
success it was.

A CHINESE TRIBUTE TO DR. MUIRHEAD.
The Church of the London Mission in the Shantung Road will always be connected with the work of the late Dr Muirhead. It was the scene on Sunday morning last of a most inter- esting service, says the N. C. Daily News of 10th ulto. A large congregation of Chinese Christians met for the unveiling of a handsome. stoma monument, erected in memory of the Rev. W. Muirhead, D.D. The Rev. EsBox presided, and others taking part in the service. were the Rev. Dr. Edkins, the Rew. Nelson Bitton and the Rev. T. B. Doong. Several Chinese Christians who had been associated with Dr. Muirhead also spoke. The monum ental stone is a large carved granite frame closing a marble slab. Its cost has been met entirely by the native Christians of the Mission as their tribute to the memory of their late pastor. The inscription is in English and
Chinese and reads as follows :-**

Rounds 4 and 5 were the rounds of the fight, Bentley still working and Phillips taking it

Bentley was on the mark all the time and Phillips dropping his hands, to save that spot was into his man for all he was worth. Bentley got a severe one on the forehead which should have steadied him but did not, and as he only

It is worthy of note that the Chinese Church so long ministered to and built up by the late Dr. Muirhead shows signs of remark

This in itself is no mean tribute to the work of the departed veteran, whose spirit of active Christian charity is thus

Round 2 opened with the same tactics, Sanford leading and Moak coming in with righthand body blows. Sanford got on to Monk's ribs, but the blows were more pretty than heavy.no sooner on his feet than he received another There was nothing to choose between the two that sent him down again.

An interval of some duration occurred, it being taking up by the selection of officers for the big fight. Mr. Bailey was repeatedly asked to act as feferee but owing to a private arrange. ment was unable to officiate, Mr. Downs was
asked and would have preferred some one else to act, but was at last prevailed upon, both principals being agreeable. The time keeper selected was Mr. W. Waters, that is his full title, but he is commonly known as "Billy", and very faw koow more of the game. Downs conferred with the two men and an understanding was quickly come to ́on the debateable point of hitting in,holds. San Bentley insisted that if one man clenched to :save punishment and the other had one hand free the man with the free hand could bir. Phillips agreed to this. Downs, both to the principals and the audience, explained has opin- lon with regard to fouls and said that a deliber ate foul blow would disqualify a man, if that blow could possibly, in his Judgement, affect the decision. This is a position taken up and (maintained by Mr. J. B. Angle,, the greatest Authority in England and is undoubtedly a sound one.

Phillips was much mortified at the result and held that he was getting stronger each round, Bentley deserved the decision and proved himself a fighter of great power. Ring tactics were almost entirely disregarded and both men went in and fought in a fair open manner that proves them a credit to the great nation they belong to. Phillips could only have got into the condition in which he was by the help of his officers on the Argonaut; the thanks of the nublic are due to these gentlemen and no one feels it more than Phillips ·
