Eleven first- class bouts were run off in the novice intermediate series of under pounds, atid the game fights put up . by each of the vontestants provoked prolonged applause at the conclusion of the different bouts. The best bat- tle of the afternoon was the seventh bout in which L. Jones out-pointed Dunbar after a hard three rounds. | The winner could have finished soon- er if he had walked in to his opopn ent when the latter was groggy after | hard blows to the jaw. ; ®-The bouts were run off in the fol- lowing order, and went three rounds | unless otherwise stated: Polson vs. Henderson--In the first round of the scrap, Henderson had it all over his opponent, but in the next stanza Polson came back strong end scored a knockout, by a' lucky right to the head. Watt vs. Desbrisay---This bout was ! very good, and it went to DesBrisay on points. after some hard fighting from both men, The winer had the edge most of the way and was always on the aggressive. Smith va. Turner--Smith knocked his man out in the final round. Both the boys were good mitt-slingers and the fight was far from one-sided. A. Roy vs. Mann--The stopped this fixture in the second round to avoid undue punishment to Mann,' who was réléiving a terrific mauling at the hands of his experienced opponent. Mann only registered one clean hit in the bout. | Price vs. Fleming---Fleming tried | hard for a knock-out in this scrap, | but Price fought gamely and covered | well, The decision went to Fleming on points and the referee awarded a balf-mark to Price.

Both boys dish- ed up some heavy hay-makers, but there was little if any science in this matoh., The first two rounds went to Paton, but Brough came back in the next frame, and the referee sent the would-be "Dempseys'" into an extra round, when the decision was given to Brough. Jones vs. Dunbar--Jones got the decision on points, after having his man at sea at least three times be- fore the final bell. Both boxers had some nice science, but the heavy wal- lop stowed away in Jones' right mitt brought him the victory. started off like a. winner, but ap- parantly tired early.
