The "City (San Francisco) Bantamweight Title" was at stake. The two boxers had fought seventy-five rounds at the same venue on the evening of June 3, 1890, but the boring bout was stopped at 2 a.m. and was to resume at 8 p.m. Bogan's listed opponent was "Dan Hawkins." The last fifteen rounds of the bout was "very satisfactory."

World title, city title - what's the difference? The fact that the referee left and they had to finish the next day makes it even better!
