Further particulars of the scene which, occurred' at' the fight between Frank Klaus (America) aad Georges Carpentier (France) for the middle-weight bout at Dieppe show that there were four thousand spectators present, including many women. Amid a wild. Bcene of excitement, Dcamps, his manager, seized Carpentier by the waist. The boxer, enraged, fought to free himself, but was forced out of the ring. A burly figure seized Decamps and threw him over the ropes among the spectators. Afterwards, Everendon (England) refused to stop fighting with Bernard (France), and' Maitron, a powerfullybuilt referee, lifted Everendon twice and flung him to the boards. This caused a sensation, and officials, boxers, and their friends poured into the ring. About thirty free fights were commenced, and the building was the scene of a pandemonium. The gendarmes present were reinforced, and the festival broke up in confusion.
