MeQuar- , rie opened hostilities in the iiist round j with a Hick to the body, but the round. ; thereafter, produced nothing worthy ol ; mention. ; As they came up for the second on- j counter. Matthewson ripped his right to . the body and M.-yunrrie rushed in to clinch. After separating. McQuarrie : sent his right to the stomach, to which j part of his oppont's body he was paying j close attention. .Xlattliewson replied : with three lefts to the face with, good , effect, and then buck moved rather 1 cleverly, a rip to the body by .McQuarrie. lie then got in with lefts again to the 1 face, and McQudrrie missed with a right to the head that carried a good deal of sting. Atatthowson again got in with a solid left to the lace. lon .M cQiu rrie 1 evened these with a left and right to the body. He endeavoured to repeat the performance a few seconds later, but the iocal man e.night them on his glove. McQuarrie shortly afterwards ripped his left to the body and Matihcwson got home with a left to the face. and immediately followed up and crossed his right to McQuarrie's point, but the blow appealed to have lost its sting when it la ruled. Matthewson opened lively in the third and scored with blows to the head and body, .McQuarrie rushed, .Xlattliewson. but the latter hack-moved beautifully, and thus escaped danger which was obviously threatening. McQuarrie cam*' in witn a vicious right which Mattehwson got inside and MrQuarrie, as if to make amends for this failure, got in two or three left ' alf-arm jolts. .Xlatlhewson shot his left out and it connected twice with McQuarrie's face. MeQuarrio missed badly with a right hook, and he then tried to make amends by sending , in a left, which .Matthewson back-moved and then count, red with a stinging left, which landed on 'McQuarrie’s face. Matthewson stepped inside a swing from McQuarrie and then hooked his left to the body anil face. McQuarrie op.-ned the fourth round
