THE CAPTAIN'S CUP COMPETITION.
Bowden's only sign of weakening was in the twelfth round when Creighton seemed to set out to fin- lsh the fight, punching with precl nion with both hands, and having Bowden in a state of collapse when' the gong sounded. In spite of this, Bowden came up refreshed for the thirteenth and never again wavered.

It was, in fact, the prospect of a surprise that maintained in- 76 terest to the last in spite of Creigh- 75 ton's superiority.

Keen Hitting.
The contest started leisurely, but developed into one of the keenest contests seen in Hongkong for some time as the men warmed up to their work. Bowden was aggressive in the third round, but Creighton re- sponded with flushing fists and bis sinart footwork steered him clear of real danger. On one occasion he darted in, dealt three heavy blowa to the body and one to the chin and was away again before Bowden could retaliate. In later rounds he repeated the manoeuvre, with variations, frequently.
After the fifth round, the fight proceeded round by round on much the same lines, Creighton always outboxing Bowden by a fair margin, and dealing out a rain of blows which seemed likely to result in an early end. Bowden, however, stuck it gamely, and was warmly ap plauded at the close for his plucky exhibition. Creighton was an easy winner on points.
