PARIS, 7th December.

Prinio Camera, the Italian giant, was disqualified at the end of the seventh round foe hitting Stribiing after the gong went. Camera wqighed 287 pounds, and Stribling 184^.-. • . ■ .

Stribliug. did nearly all the hitting in the first round, including a right to the jaw, which evidently hurt Camera. Stribling, fighting vigorously, hit Camera twice in the :stomach, then a left to tho head and a right to the jaw.

When the second round opened Stribling ignored Camera's threatening left, and scored- .with punches to the jaw and drew blood on Camera's face. Stribling continued to score freely, but his blows were I mostly poorly timed.

Camera ' began the third round more like a fighter, but his leads' continued futile. He landed a straight left .which nearly knocked Stribling off his legs. Stribling • became wild, rushing Camera and often missing altogether...

Camera did much better in the fourth round, with a right and left to the body, and a left to the jaw, but leaving his guard open, Stribiing lauded twice to thes'stoimach.-. Stribling now was letting Carnera-. make the pace, and lie landed a right hook to the jaw and won the round comfortably.

Between the fourth and fifth rounds the referee cautioned Stribling about holding. Stribling in' ; the fifth tried to make play on Camera's right, cheek, which was swollen and bleeding. Camera made crude lunges, enabling Stribling to score two-handed on the.body inside the guard. Camera's nose, also began to bleed. He [got Stribling against the ropes, but the American easily ducked and got clear. Camera seemed weaker. ■ Stvibling now had a large advantage in points.

Fierce clinching and wrestling opened the sixth round. Stribling landed three times, and then dropped Camera with a right to the point. Camera hung to the ropes. Stribling tried to finish him off, but Camera avoided him. Camera landed a hard right to the jaw. Stribling hung on in order to recover. Camera punished Stribling considerably to the bell.

Camera returned to the attack for the seventh round, in which there was some clinching. Then Camera floored Stribling and almost knocked him out. .Camera's last punch was a right to the jaw, which the referee ruled was delivered after the gong.

[A condition of the fight was that if either man landed a foul blow, his purse should go to charity.]
