SCENES AT BOXING MATCH. A DRAMATIC CONCLUSION. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 11.55 p.m.) LONDON, Sept. 14. There were strange scenes at the boxing contest between Curley and Bond. The first ten rounds were so monotonous that the spectators began, ta whistle, " Dear Old Pals," whereupon most vigourous fighting began. Bond apparently received a low punch and fell writhing to the floor. When he recovered ho attacked Curley furiously until the end of the round. When the 12th round began Bond threw aside all restraint and smashed away with both hands. Curley seemed astonished, but followed Bond's example. A most exciting struggle ensued, the partisans of both men, shouting encouragement. Neither heeded the bell at the end of the round, and some spectators entering the ring, the referee parted the boxers and declared the bout no contest.
