Bux Gets the Decision after a
Poor Affair.
The "big fight" on Saturday was not the success it promised to bo. it was, as a matter of feet, a poor affair with an unsatisfac tory ending. There was trouble before the Eight started.
Five minutes before the contest was announced there was an altercation about terms that was for from reassuring. The articles of the fight wore carefully draws up and the purse arranged before hand and these should have held good for both men. Instead of this, Bux claimed some special terms before going into the ring on the grounds that a special promise, for a certain oluss-of- -house, had been made to him. Some arrangement was come to ofter much excitement and the fight proceeded, but not before evon Perkins had to be pereu: d d. As an exhibition of boxing, the fight was one of the greatest fail

The first change of programme at this popular place of amusement was given last evening, and, de- spite the inclemonoy of the wea- thor, there was quite a good attend- ance.

Among these were a clever aerial display by Signor Serra, the daring Shanghal

we have witnessed in the Colony, emphasised in its fail- ure by the fact that both men claimed to be able to box There was plenty of rushing, hauging, clinging, clinching, lolling and monkeying generally, but of box- ing thole was precis as little. It was a case of come rounda and come quickly." In the first round Perkins brought in a couple of whip punches to the stomach, and with. the exception of a comple of amaaling rights to the face and another couple to the body, he did liule eles, until he lay down claiming, to the full, the only for a foul. Bax on the other haud did unthing but return to Perkins. Occasion: ally he got through with his left, but it looked as though Perkins permitted many to go through in tho hope that on some occasion he would have the jaw open for the The total weight on the blocks finale, but it never came. Bux is about 1,100 tons. · In addition ani Perkins were spoken to into this a large amount of material steamer leaving Shanghai on Sunday, the "turn by the referee (Mr. Murdoch) have been delivered from the 24th May at 3 p.m.) and just before the thirteenth steel-makers' works and the pre- round Bux was spoken to several timos for low lefte.

Beyond this, there was nothing in the light. There is no need to say more than that the les that is seen of this kind of boxing, the botter,
