The 10 rounds boxing contest between Hamp Ireland and Tim Hurley was preceded by a three round contest between Rastus Johnson and Henry Smith , both of the 25th Inf. , and resulted in a draw. At the beginning of the Ireland and Hurley contest , Hur ley stepped forward and put $25 in the hands of Lee Shepard to be bet that he would get the decision. Almost at the first of the second round Ireland was knocked down a heavy blow and was nearly counted out , staggering to his feet just in time. Several clinches fol lowed in which Ireland seemed re luctant in breaking away. The blows struck were each intended for knockout blows after this but Ireland's ducking and dodging saved him. Ireland got four teeth knocked out in the 5th round. ( Ireland claims that Hurley butted them out with his head m a mix up , though it appeared to the spectators that it was Ireland who did all the butting. ) Hurley plain ly had the best of every round af ter the first. The referee decided the contest a draw. Summary from the section or state report shows : The tempera ture during the past week was aVout normal in the eastern part of tlie state , but was below normal in the northern and western sec * tions. Copious rainfalls occurred in the central and eastern sections and light falls in the western. In many places the rainfall was quite excessive and greatly retarded the the progress of all farm work , considerable damage was reported by hail to gardens and fruit , es pecially in the central and south western sections. Corn is nearly all planted in the southeastern part of the state , but planting has been delayed in all sections by the heavy rains. In many places list ed corn was washed out and much replanting will have to be done. Wheat and oats continue in very good condition and fair growth was made during the week. Oats are reported a thin stand. Grass has grown well and pastures are in good condition. The full extent of damage done to fruit by the hail cannot yet be determined but apple tress promise to yield well.
