Although only two of the bouts went the fuil dis tance, and the four others finished, quite soon, the meeting-though over early was full of interest while it lasted.
The Indians first eleven visited the Club, on Saturday, and were easily de Teated by eight wickets and 135 rúna, þ. "Going in first, the Club batted well and ran up a score of 206 for the loss of two wickets. The side then declared. For the second time this season, E. J. B. Mitchell Beared a century and carried his bat for 106 not out.

Ordinary Seamen Lewendon (H.M.S. Harpina), 147, tbs., met A. B. Duncan (H.M.S. Jegnalia), 181 lbs. This bout was over in the second round. It rem ed almost a pity that Lewendon, who is still a comparative novice in respect "of fighting life, should have been asked to give away as much as 14 lbs. He fought pluckily but Duncan's weight inevitably told and Lewendon was down for nine in the second round before he was out.
These three bouts, which were expected to have lasted for an hour, occupied barely twenty minutes.
THE FIGHT OF THE EVENING.
FEATHERWEIGHT CONTEST.
The big fight of the evening was ten round featherweight contest. This proved a glorious set-to and one of the cleanest and fincat seen in the Colony for a long time. It was fought at a rare pace throughout and what is particularly to be remarked is that, in bout of much fierceness, both men broke as cleanly as could te wished and showed themselves in every way splendid sportsmen.
