Au I'nsllth Champion Itutlly rtiiiiiiieled
by mi A Itlrl 1 i'lif
New York, Julv 21). The fifteen
round go between Charley Smith, who
claims the featherweight fhampion.ship
of England, and Sim Collins of New
York, which has been a good deal ad
vertised during the hist three weeks,
was begun at Odd Fellows hall, IIo
boken, in the presence of a house full
of spectators. The men wore gloves
that weighed something less than tour
ounces. They bad trained systematic
ally for the l out, and were both in i;ood
form. Jimmy Carroll, the Brooklyn
middleweight, was one of Smith s sec
onds, and George Reynolds, the New
York liirhtweiirht. was anions those in
Collins' corner. Morris Lee was ref
eree. A large proportion of the crowd
was made up of Hebrews, who cheered
Smith at every opportunity. Ihe stakes
were f '250 a side, and the winner was to
receive Co per cent, of the Kate receipts,
The Enslihman had a idiade the
best of the first and second rounds,
but after that was scarcely in
it, except in one or two rallies,
He succeeded in knocking Collins down
twice with blows on the breast, but on
both occasions Collins, who is not a
clever sparrer, was caught with his feet
together. Collins assumed the aggres
sive nearly all the way through, and by
superior strengtn ana rusning tacuct
planted many severe blows on Smith 8
face and stomach. His upper-cuts
were particularly vicious, and in the
third, fourth and fifth rounds Smith
was saved from a knock-out only by the
call of time. It was hard fighting on
Collins part and a game showing by
Smith, who began his movements in
fancy style, but soon dropped all style
and got down to business in trying to
avoid the New Yorker's rushes. In the
middle of the eighth round, which was
not so severe as any of its iedecessors,
iust after Smith had landed a solid left
hander on Collins' breast, the police
lumped on the platform and forbade
the affair to continue. There had been
pretty good order in the nouse and the
action of the authorities was a com
plete surprise. The referee called the
match a draw.
The New Zealitnder Win.
New Orleans, July Arthur Up-
ham of New London, Conn., and Bob
Fitzsimmons, the New Zealander,
fought four rounds before the Audubon
Athletic association for a purse of 41.200.
Fitzsimmons hd Upham at his mercy,
and the fight was a tame one. Upham
was game, but no match for t ltzsim-
mons. who besred Uuhara to cive in in
the second round, but this Upham re
fused to do. In the fourth round a" blow
on the chin sent him to the floor and he
stayed there. Fitzsimmons was awarded

hospitals in a badly injured condition.
Ju.-.t how many people went over i:iti
the water is not known, but Homo eye
witnesses of the disaster say that a
fjreat number of people men, women
and children were sitting on the star
board Bide when the crash occurred,
and immediately disappeared.
Not sinco the Tivoli disaster has such
a thing happened near this city. All
sorts of rumors aro afloat as to the num
ber killed and injured. The streets ar
thronged with anxious relatives and
friends of those reported missing. Just
who is to blame for the accident is not
known. Naturally the pilots of both
boats deny negligence.
. apt. Bohannou said that his boat, the
Virginia, struck the starboard quarter
of the Louise about the after-gangway.
Ihe col ision nearly turned the Virginia
around, so great was the force. There
was no great excitement aboard our
boat, although when the collision oc
curred a man. one lady and a child
climbed over. Tiiev did not return.
"When I left the Louise I saw no one in
t'v water. If any went overboard they
mn.t be under the water, not on top.
When the collision occurred the people
on the Louise rushed to the side where
the Virginia struck. I do not want to
cast any reflection on the captain of the
Louise, but I believe he wn wrong."
1 he cantam of the Louise disclaims
all responsibility for the accident and in
timates that tho blame is entirely with
tin Bay Lino steamer. The Louise was
ca;rvi:ig 1,450 p;'ss-igeri and the scene
on board was a.i a vf ui one. It will not
be possible to learn until morning, if
then, the number missing and probably
drowned.
