Ne aad ex Officer Fraak Phillips Carry off the Laurels at the Atlaatic Garden Coatest Last Night
—i:'~ From Saturday's JBatly. By far the largest andience which' ever filled the Atlantic Garden Theater was the one assembled laai evening. TM^ were attracted by the amateur sparring match, which was announced in jester, day's issue of the GAZETT®. The contestants were the same as named in yesterday's issue, no others having entered. The prize given to the winner was a beautiful silver cup, awarded by Jamte Hearne, the manager.
The sparring match being the last thing on the program for the evening's entertainment, a large number ol the auditors became impatient. Finally after being entertained by a few of the leading amateur song and dance artists, Mr. Hearne announced that the boxing would begin At this, excitement ran high, and it was some.little time before the large audience could be quieted down.
The judges having been selected were then ushered upon the stage They were Doc Confare, Jack Kennedy and Geo. Robeitson with John L. Morrison as rereiee.
The first two sluggets to try th^ir band were Ex-officer Frank Phi Hips and Henry Baker, who are said to be the best, light weights in the city. *Vpon their appearance on the stage they were greeted with rounds of applause. Time was called and. the contestants began.
Four rounds were fought in which Baker came out second best being knocked out of time in the last round- They shook hands and left the stage to give irav for the other contestants.
Mr. Htarne then announced the next two contestants would be Wm. K. Burnett and Mike Gainey.
Their appearance upon the stage was signalized by the most uproarious ap plause of the evening. Time was called and each commenced with a smile upon his perspiiing face.
Five rounds were fought each getting in his work alternately "in ulmoat every round concluding with a clinch.
The contest being ended the judges retired to render their decision. Alter being out seven minutes they returned with the decision that Phillips was the better of the two first and entitled to tlie light -weight cup. Gainey of the latter and entitled to the heavy weight c»t. The judges stood two to two twice between Phillips and Gainey when the .decision was left to a couple of straps Gaioey's straw being the favored one. This was done because the judges thought there was'but one cup to be awarded, when in fact thtre were two. Gainey 'was presented with the cup amid shouts of applause by the audience
Another match will probably be given ih the near future.

Mr. Smith, cf Tippecanoe, offered the following resolution: Whereas, It is tho du'y of the state to
Eer
rotect and build up the interests of all citizens, snd so conduct her reformatory and ])enal institutions as to do the leas' possible damage to free labor, and
Whereas, There is great complaint on account of the unjust and ruinous competition arising from the contract system in vegue in our state prisons, by which not only i'tee competition in the awards of contract for prison labor is destroyed but worse than this, and far more rninous the labor of prisoners, fed, clothed 'and housed by the state, is put on the market -at au average of fitty-three and one-half (583^) cents- per day of nine and onethird (9^0 hours average for the year, thus throwing the manufactured products of this slave paid labor, associated, with' the best machinery and skilled management, on the market to ruinously compete with the manufactures prosuced by free labor, self-clothed, self fed, and selfhoused laborers who are tax payers, faithful to all the obligations of citizenship, guilty of no misdemeanor unless it be, io that they are the heads and members of lamilies whose fortunes it is to eat bread honestly earned in the sweat of their brow, and
Whereas, This is an opportune time to commence an investigation which must lead to prison labor reform, therefore
Resolved, That we instruct our committee" on prisoners to carefully investigate this matter in its various phases and ramifications, and report to this house at an early day the result of such investigation, in order that this house may promptly and intelligently apply the remedy to this crying evil.
Mr. Wilson, of Marion, moved an amendment to instruct the committee on prisons to prepare a bill, and report the same to the House, to provide for the relief of free labor from competing with convict labor and to provide for some way to make convict labor self-support-ing.
The resolution as amended was adopted/ The proceedings weie interrupted by the special order of the morning, viz: the joint convention for the nomination ot prison directors and stfcte librarian. The following was the result:
For state librarian—Miss Lizzie O. Callis, 83, Airs. Winsor, 57. For directors of the southern priscn— Dr. W. D. H. Huntef, 84 Morris McDonald, 56 Dr. V. Norvell, 84 Wm. G. Young, 55.
For directors of th* northern prison— George Majors, 85 A. C. Beeson, 54 JohnO. Shoemaker, 83 Leopold Levy, 56 Henry Monning, 94 W. T. Horine, 54.
The nominees of the Democratic caucus were therefore declared elected. The joint convention adjourning, the House took a recess till 8 P. M.
The question pending beforethe Heme When aider was called was the report trom the committee on agriculture on Mr. Patten's bill, H. B. No. 165.
Mr. Kester said, in justice to the committee, he desired to state that they had no ill-feeling against the gentleman from Sullivan (Mr: Patton) or his bill. We simply acted on the bill and made a unanimous report.
Mr. Montgomery was not in favor of killing the bill so abruptly, and, therefore, moved to commit the bill to the committee on county and township business.
Mr Moody spoke in favor of aecommitting the bill. He thought the bill in some respects an improvement on the present utattrte on the subject, and while he would not argue in favor o'f the bill he would speak in favor of what was gOod fn it. He thought there should be some lea relation on this subject.
Mr. Patton protested against sending his bill to the committee on agriculture. The motion was agreed to.
Mr. Kester, from the committee on agriculture, reported back .Mr. Howlsn&'s bill, H. B. No. 134, to provide lor the regulation ot stock running at large, with a recommendation that, with certain amendments, the bill will pass. The report was concurred in.
