52.—Bishop charged. Alec retreated, but meeting Sharpe, dropped a heavy one on the body with his right. In closing, Alec hit the Bishop up terrifically with his right, on the smeller, and grassed him.
53.—Bishop hit down right and left.
54 to 60.—All in favour of Alec, who hit his man down every round, either from blows on the head or body.
61.—The Bishop went down without a blow. Cries of “foul,” but no decision.
62.—Bishop gathered all his strength, and came up in good force. He hit Alec with the left, but was jobbed down right and left.
63.—Bishop again hit down.
64.—Counter-hits. Sharpe went boldly to his man, but was dropped.
65.—Curtis now began to use all his tact to encourage his man, chaffed the Snob, and doffed his own shirt to be more at ease. Alec hit Bishop right and left, and he went down.
66.—Alec drank out of the bottle himself, and winked to his friends, as much as to say, “It’s all right.” Alec stopped his man with his left, and hit him down as he came in.
67 to 71.—All in favour of Alec, and Bishop went down every round.
