ANOTHER JACK JOHNSON.

BOXING AND JU-JITSU. Science Smothered by Three Policemen. MELBOURNE, June 30. Another Jack Johnson has arisen. Ho is a seaman by profession and a pugilist by instinct. He met another member of the clan, Edwin Johnson, in Russell Street, and swept upon him even as'their illustrious namesake swept upon Jeffries at Bono. .For a time a third Johnson —a hardy Viking, who calls himself ion son—was acting as referee. But Jack swung it so vigorously an Edwin that Edwin was forced to flee, and the Norseman followed. Constable NcLcod was the next to appear on the scene, and the moment Jack Johnson noticed him ho handed out a blow containing all the raw material ior a cauliflower ear. Constable McLeod closed with the fighter, who promptly seized his ankle and caused him to perform some Catherine-wheel evolutions. McLeod picked himself up tarew Johnson. Then two morn policemen came mid foi* a tow minutes tho landscape looked like a picture'of primaeval chaos pa in tod by a post-iin-prossiomst. .Eventually Jack Johnson was towed ofi to .the watch-house, and later was fined altogether .£o. Edwin was fined ,£d, but Jan,'the reieree, is underfdood to have sailed ior Guam in ballast.
