Tbo Galveston Athletic association scored
another victory last night by tho BU.c.'Bsftil
manner in which they conducted the glove
contest between Tlioreas Monghanend Jack
Lawrence. This event has been the talk of
the town for a month oaBt nud all the
sports have been on tho qui vivo tor its oc-
currence.
The audience last ni^ht numbered about
230, and among that number could be Been
■ome of tho most, prominent busiuess and
professional meu of the city. The so-called
tough element was conspicuous by its ab-
sence.
The contest was a fifteen round set-to
with four ounce gloves, Queensberry rules,
for a purse of 5, donated by the Galves-
ton Athletic association; JuO of this sum was
to go to tho loser. In addition tho asso-
ciation donated a ItOO gold medal emblem-
atic of the light weight championship of tho
atate of Texas. The contestants were to
weigh 133 pounds, fcive ®nJ t"ko fi,v0
pounds, and when they ware on tho scales
yesterday they each tipped tho beam atlSO ».
The entertainment was opened by a three-
round glovo contest between two local
aparers in which some clever work was
done. , . . ,
After this came another glove contest be-
tween Oliver of New Orleans, who was with
the Muldoon combination, and Old Sport.
This set-to was a lively one and soma ex-
ceedingly lively work was done, although
Old Sport :c-:early outs;»arred his opponent.
Tho next event was the MouKhan-l^aw-
rence eet-to. The rules governing the con-
teat. and the articles of agreement were read
and the audience Informed that no smok-
ing, betting or boisterous language would
be permitted.
Iteferee Dolau then Introduced the prlnci-
paU.
Jack Lawrence, accompanied by his sec-
onds, Joe Kllott and Dau Taddenham, en-
tered the ring first. Lawrence was attired
Id chocolaie colored tights with black shoos
and sash. lie received a generous applause
as he crossed the ropes, showing that the
audience was thoroughly appreciative of
the man.
Tommy Monghau then entored, with Pro-
fessor Bernau and Pat Murray as seconds
and Billy Parrish as bottle holder. Mon-
«ht<n was attired in flesh colored tights,
lack sash and white shoes. From the ap-
plause which tho Galveston boy received it
was easy to see that he was the favorite
with the audience, which was an Impartial
one.
The time keepers were Humphrey Boyd
for Moughan and John llibbert for Law-
rence. __ .
After the usual preliminaries |Keferee
Do'.an called time and the boys shook hands
and went at it.
First round; As the men came to the
scratch Lawrence was the hardier looking,
while Monghau appeared a little nervous.
Both meu seemed anxious to fight and the
round was interesting. Moughan fought
hard and skeined determined to knock hla
opponent out as soon as possible. Lawrence
was fighting warily all the time and tried
to get his blows in on Monghan's wind.
There r ere several clinches aud tho round
closed with the Galveston boy clearly hav-
ing tho beat of it.
Second rouud-. Both meu came to the
scratch promptly aud Moughan forced the
fighting. His swinging blows were terrific
atid he never lost an opportunity to catch
his opponent every time he ducked a blow.
Monghan got in some telling blows on
Lawrence's neck, while the lattor did not
lose a chance to P.ght for Monghan's wind.
There were numerous clinches in this round
also, but when it closed the odds were
Hiightly in favor of Moughan, although ho
had received a bad bruise on liis left shoul-
der.
Third round; Monghan clearly had the
best of this round, as ne gave two blows for
every one he received, and at one time he
got in three blows on his oppouont's head
and face without receiving auy in return.
In this round agaiu the telling upper cuts
ami swingers of the Inland city boy told
with a vengeance on his opponent.
Fourth round: First blood and first
knock down for Moughan. It was a glorious
round for the Ualvestoniau. Monghan
forced the fighting and drove his opponent
around tiie ring for a time. Lawrence tried
hard to got in on Tom's wind, but was uns
successful. Monghaa aot in two blows on
Jack, sending him into tho corner ropes and
getting lirst blood. He still forced the fight-
ing and finally got the first knock down.
Lawrence was downed from one of Tom's
swinging blows which was followed by a
clinch. Although Monghau got the first
blood aud knock down In tho round, when
time was called it was clearly evident that
he was getting winded.
Fifth rouud: patters lookod dubious for
Moughan as Lawreuce was forcing the
fighting and was endeavoring to put in all
of his blows in tto short ribs. Lawrence
saw that his opponent was getting winded
and whs trying to make the most of it.
Monghan was sparring for wind and kept
his opponent well away, although the
round was clearly in favor of Lawrence.
The light here looking favorable to Law-
rence as it was gone rally supposed that
Mcnghan would not be able to hold out
against his antagonist.
Sixth round: Lawrence was still fighting
for Tom's wind, although the Galveston
boy did not lose an opportunity to get in
one of those swinging blows, which had a
telling effect ou Lawreuce. Tho fighting
was not very spirited in this round, and
the referee was kept busy calling "break
away." When the round closed neither man
had tho advantage.
Seventh rouud: In the interval Monghan
had gained his wind and, aided by the nu-
merous clinches, he was in good form for
the rouud. He forced the fighting and kept
Li twrence on the defensive for a long time.
Finally the Galveston boy got in three suc-
cessive blows on his opponent's neck
and head and sent him against the
ropes, and as Lawrence recovered
Monghan put in a couple more
blows, one of tnem a swinger, and knocked
his opponent under the ropes, where he re-
mained until the necessary ten seconds had
passed. At the end of that time the
referee awardod tho fight to Mongham.
As soon as the result was announced the
friends of Monghan jumped in tho ring and
carried him to his dressing-room on their
Bliouldors much elated over their victory.
Lawrence was cared for bv his friends and
members of the Athletic association.
And thus ended one of tho prettiest glove
contests that has ever taken place in Texas.
There was no boisterous behavior on the
part of any one-in fact the audience was
aot of the rough kind. Those who had as-
sembled were of the character who appreci-
ate an exhibition of the manly art of self-
defense when deprived of its revolting
features.

ors had not been curtailed and he would

given.

road for a division superintendent to givo
orders only to his Immediate Inferiors.

HnnrsTBAP, Tex., June 27.—Attention,
Hood's brigade! was the ringing command
of Presiding Ufllcer J. H. Llttlefleld when
he called the command to order in the
court-house. Secretary Robt. Burns sat on
his right The court room was crowded.
Several of the veterans had one arm, others
with one leg and were on crutches.
The court room had been tastily decorated
for the occasion and the words, "Welcome,
Hood's Brigade" posted in large letters of
evergreen on the south wall. On the other
walls were several national colors and TexaB
" "ff _
silk battle ilag with the southern cross of
the brigade, carried through a score of bat-
tles.
All the veterans showed that age was fast
leaving Its footprints on their heads, but all
were happy, and the alfectiona'.e greetings
when they met each other were interesting.
Gray-hatred grandfathers hugged each other
like school girls.
Many of the members are now prominent
citizens of tho state, some have filled state
offices and others are the leading men of
the counties of their residence.
Rev. F. S. Lolgh of Pempstead opened
the meeting with prayer.
Mr. F. S, lteese made a splendid address
of welcome and Miss Clementine Grace re-
cited the following poem written tor the oc-
casion by Mrs. Lottie C. Efnor of Hemp-
stead.
TCKLCOME TO HOOD'S BRIGADE.
A welcome greotlng we extend
To all who by their presence lend
A halo to this festive hour
Where genial smiles thoir radiance show'r.
Thy brothers of the old command
Now give to thee a kindly hand—
A hand thnt In Its ready clasp
Holds past and present in Its grasp.
The past—an open cannon's month
Yawned then for all who loved the south;
And with It dreadful, horrid war
That drenched the land in hnman gore.
L«5 and Johnston, (Ireon and Hood
Before the monster bravely stood,
Inhaling, too, Its fiery breath.
While every breeze was fraught with death.
And when the trenches filled wtth slain.
Their tender hearts would throb with pain.
And comrades saw their tearful eye
As heroes fell so soon to die.
E'en stars looked through the pall of night
In sad rebnke on hnman sltrht;
A sight that soldom pity yields
To foes who meet in striving fields.
At closing of each frightful day
All happiness seemed borno away
From wive* and daughters '.eft to hear
Of anguish deep an overshare.
So oft their trials we have seen
Would e'en despair an Egypt's queen;
And had a Ciesar claimed such spoils
Would sought relief through serpent's coils.
And proudly borno Its venomed sting
If that a once relief would bring,
Thoir husbands, fathers, all wore gono,
And honor left to them alone.
But time, the healer, brines relief
To those with overburdened grief
And changes, with their varying claims,
Have reared aloft new hopes and alius,—
For they who still are tolling on
By mile-stones till the last is won,
Altho' their hearts are bleeding sore.
In that their loved are gone before^
And we, In turning back to-day, 1
H^ve only shown life's weary way—
A changing scene that moves along
In face of all that's right or wrong.
We tend these links, in chain thus cast.
To bind the present with the past;
Although the naming now may seem
Recounting!! of a final dream.
The present still we know is ours—
Its joys and hopes, its pleasant hours—
And these are thine with all their oheor
For every friond most welcome here.
