Garrison Boxing Bouts.

The Garrison Pleasure Assembly gave a series of boxing bouts last night at Allerino Gannic's Casino, West Baltimore street extended. The hall was filled with admirers of the sport. During the intermission the crowd was entertained by glee clubs and vocal soloists. The following were the sparrers and the results of their contest:

Doe Herrog, 110 pounds, and Samuel Adams, 120 pounds. It resulted in a draw.

Daniel Carroll, 105 pounds, and Teddy Gray, 110 pounds. Decision to Carroll.

Arthur Coates and Henry Payne, colored. Decision to Coates.

William Phillips, 90 pounds, and Joseph Brown, 110 pounds. Phillips outsparred his man and won.

Dave Horn and Frederick Schweirt, two 125-pounders, made the hottest set-to of the evening in the opening round, when Horn looked every inch a winner. After the round Captain Baker ordered the men to stop slugging, saying he would stop the entertainment otherwise. The men sparred easily the next two rounds and a verdict of "draw" was rendered.

Joe Gans, the 125-pound colored champion of the State of Maryland, hit and knocked Harry Brian, colored, all over the ring.

Billy Wilson, 115 pounds, and Lewis Bush, 125 pounds. A draw.
