SERVES AS REFEREE.

Ex-Sheriff Abraham Hardy was the referee in a very interesting sparring match in this city Friday afternoon. Bill Gordon, impersonating big Jess Willard, and Charles Darter, taking the part of lean, lank Bob Fitziromons, were the participants. The contest went one round when it was called by the referee. No decision was announced.
