“SHINE” REED IN DEMAND.Boxes at Dubuque Tomorrow Night and at Belvidere Friday Night.“Shine” Reed, the well-known local pugilist, has had considerable success since he entered the roped arena and all the athletic clubs in this vicinity have secured him to take part in the boxing carnivals. Tomorrow night he is scheduled for a go at Dubuque with Beckwith, and Friday night he will don the gloves with “Young” Kenney at Belvidere. Kenney will also take part in the Dubuque carnival, his opponent being u eorge Mullholland. Harry Gilmore, the matchmaker of the Dubuque club, does not think well of Reed’s chances, but the Freeporter’s former record would seem to show that ho is the equal of any in his class. Gilmore said to a representative of the Dubuque Telegraph :“I gave the sports the Fagln-'l'homson bout, and it was not patronized. I went one better and brought Martin Duffy and Tommy Wallace here at. a big loss. In making the choice for this attrac tion I considered the popularity and the good chance for a rise of Mull-holland in battle with a good, tough fighter to draw the crowd. I hope I acted wisely, because I l'eel sure it will be a good bout. For the others I can speak well. Beckwith and “Shine” Reed will go well, and I think the former will win. The ability of llird to box will bo displayed when he meets Mitchell.”
