THE GEAP GLOVE FIGHT IN CALCUTTA,

Details of the Army Champion's Victory.

It is some considerable time since we had a big fight in Calcutta, says the English- man, so that when it became known that

Bliddie And Heavy Weight Champion Boxer Surgoant Smith, of the 10th Huasara, tho

of the Army, had arranged to fight Jack McAuliffe, the Light, Middle and Heavy Weight Champion of India, for the Cham- pionship of India and stakes of R10,000, sporting circles became greatly agitated. and supporters ranged themselves and backed their favourites very freely indeed. Bert Delaney trained McAuliffe, and Lam- phier, assisted by a number of military friends, prepared the Hussar for the conflict.

MCAULIFFE'S RECORD

as a fighter and athlete the puble are already

eo familiar that it is ounecessary

was undiminished before the fight. Born in 1862, McAuliffe fought his first battle on the 17th March, 1880, when he was 22 years old. Since then he has fought very many times more successfully than un- successfully, and up to the night of the 27th ultimo, had reamed his position as the premier boxer of India.

SERGEANT SMITH,

on the other hand, is not so well-known. Though in the Army his fame is spoken well of, and he has gained laurels at home and in Egypt, he had not entered into the knowledge of sporting circles in India as a professional pugilist till he vanquished Imm phier in Mussoorie last year. Taking all this into consideration it was no matter for marvel that McAuliffe should have appro printed the support of the majority of spor ing men, who laid odds on him with a liberality which bespoke confidenco in their choice.

The Rink was crowded, and a few. items were provided on the programme before the big tight.

THE FIGHT.

After an interval of ten minutes Lamp heir and Delany, the trainers of the two champions, s'epped on the stage and busied themselves over the arrangment of their principals positions. The Judges, etc., had then to he picked. There was a consultatio and finally some Judges' names were proposed, but Lamphier raised an objection, and it was decided, both parties agreeing, to do away with the services of Judges and simply have a time-keeper and Referee. Mr W. S. Burke, of the Indian Field, consented to do the duties of time-keeper, and Mr. W. 0. Recs agreed to act as Referee. The fight was then announced as being one of 20 rounds under the conditions already mentioned.

Smith was the firt man to step on to th platform. He was muftiled up in his over- coat and looked collected. Be was follow. ed shortly after by Me Auliffe, and both men received ovations on their appearance. They then disrobed, and it was clearly obvious that they were.

IN THE BEST FETTLE.

Swith is of medium height, but well made and wears a slight moustache. Mc. Auliffo appeared to be atrifle smaller and less muscular, and his weight was at. 12lbs. while that of smith was 11st. 11lbs. This is not the first time that McAuliffe has fought a heavier man than himself. Ho fought James Ryan for the heavy-weight championship of China, Ryan's weight be ing 12st 8lbs., while that of McAuliffe was Dat. 44lbs. and though McAuliffe was beaten in the ninth round he made a brave show.

It was about 11-15 when the tight com- menced.

SMITH TACKLED HIS MAN VIGOROUSLY

at once, and it soon became apparent that McAuliffe must do his best. There was no feinting hardly, both men hitting into each other hard and swift on each contact. McAuliffe, however, showed some very good style, but it was unavailing against BOOKKEEPING, &c., &c. furiously and was becoming a bit winded his impetuous opponent, who rushed him

when McAuliffe hit him nently with his loft, knocking him down. In the second round Smith began a bit more cautiously, and this gave McAuliffe a chance of plant- and a right handed upper cut on his neck. But that seemed to be McAuliffe's last effective stoke, for Smith, now thoroughly roused, placed his blows swift and sure, and, what was better-hard.

SHANGHAI, March 17. The Norwegian strs, Brand, Sierstad, and Argo arrived here from Port Arthur yesterday in ballast. They left Port Arthur on Sunday, having discharged their cargues there, The Brand had been in Port Arthur no less than six weeks and has consequently seen all that has occurred there since war broke out. The Argo and Sierstad were in Port Arthur four weeks. Before leaving, the captains of these three steamora were compelled by the Russian to sign declarations that authorities they would divulge nothing of what

Port Arthur. Strange to say, the crew and mates were placed under no such restriction, and we have been enabled to gather the following facts concerning the bombardments of Port Arthur. from their point of view, It is stated that during the tombardment of the 1th February, the forts at Port Arthur wore not at all damaged, and have not since suffered any damage. The battleships Retvizan and Czarevitch and cruiser Palladn were put out of action in the torpedo attack on the night of the 9th February, but the For Pallada is now completely repaired. three weeks after that attack there was fir. ing nightly, but those in Port Arthur at last became so used to it that no one bothered to turn gut. In the various attacks overal Japanese torpedo-boots are said to have been sunk, and in the torpedo engagement on the morning of the 10th March one Rus xian destroyer was sunk by a parting shot from the Japanese just as she was entering harbour.

Mr H. E. Pollock proposed the following filled the grand stand to overflowing, wax- ed enthusiastic as the game progressed. The ground was on the heavy side for fast play, nevertheless, the two teams played a rather interesting game. The Albion's team played by far the better football, and de- sorved their win, which was very popular.

* That, in view of the letter whịch was adressed by Mr Jonathan recently Hutchinson, F.R.S., to the Times news paper on the subject of leprosy being caused by tainted fish, it is desirable that the Hongkong Government should cause some enquiry to be made into the question by its Medical Officers.'

THE BLAKE-SHEWAN WAP. To the Editor of the CHINA MAIL

HoNoRoku, March 21. Sin,-Next to the pros, and cong, as to the capture of Port Arthur, the wordy war between the Hon. R Shewan and Sir Henry Elake now occupies the public mind. And yet but little can be said that can be of much use. Personal recrimina- tion never does any good. When Mr Shewan referred to Sir Henry's partiality to the families of Chinese gentlemen, I take it he was criticising the policy of the

late Governor,

When Sir Henry retorts by stating that his Chinese friends wore on distinctly higher plane than a certain class of Europeans, as to cultivation, Fabits and auners, he goes out of his way to he Far better it would have been if Sir Henry had not crossed the line in this way, and more dignified had he withlield

Therefore an unusual quantity of Beans and Grain remains stored in the small towns and villages through the preducing districts.

It is stated also that about 300,000 picule Beans were sent by rail to Dalny in the early part of the winter, of which rather more than half was shipped to Japan, the rest arriving too late.

Stocks in port are estimated at Beans 525,000 piculs. Bean Oil 52,340 piculs. Beancakes few or none. Grain Uil 2.000 piculs Melon Seeds 23,000 piculs.

Stocks of Beans at the three principal depots in the interior are estimated not to exceed 1,360,000 piculs,

The temperature during the winter has been steadily though not extremely cold, and the ice is thicker than during, the last few years.

Although there has lately been some warm daya with south wind we think it probable that the ice will not break much before the 17th inst.

Mr Gershom Stewart asked the following question:~

In view of the heavy fogs and the difficul- ties and dangers of transport on the Peak roads at night, will the Government tako into consideration some scheme for lighting the roads after dark, either by gas, or by strong oil lamps such as the Kitson light, and prepare an estimate of the cost?'
