Perhaps, the best bout of the evening was between V. Fernandez and N. E. McKay for the Heys' Heavyweight Championship. The youngsters were mast interesting to "watch, they were tenacious and entertaining, and quite a few of of them showed that they are old friends with the gloves. A bleeding nose or a stunning blow on the fore, head were evidently the sort of thing with which they quite well neguainted.
