Ladies At Boxing Matches
New Departure in “Physical Culture” at. New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 5.-The Olympic club tried a new experiment last night, and had boxing bouts between pugilists made up of members of the club. There was a large crowd, ineluding many ladies, a special effort having been made to induce the latter to attend. The boxers appeared in athletic shirts and knickerbockers. The feature of the evening was the bout between Herman Bernau, of Galveston, and Australian Billy McCarthy. It was intended for ten rounds, but MCCarthy was very much out of shape, and in the fourth round Bernau landed a right-hander on the jaw, which knocksd the Australian silly, so that the other rounds were not necessary. The club intends more affairs, including an international tug of war.
