Some of the ,ajcr have given several columns de.-ei ipiive of this contest, but we have sp-iee and our iead.a time for only the following brief summary of the several rounds : 1'irst Humid Loth men came up smiling, shook hands, and prepared to ,co to work, Z. Shot and C. M. Ilaw-loy Ilaw-loy acting as umpires, and Marshal Patrick as referee. Pratt made all the fight for some time, getting in under his adversary's smeller with two or three stinging texts from the Old Testament. Tes-tament. Cries of ''first blood for Oisy !" The Deseret Bey then leveled lev-eled at Newman several sharp boJy blows from I Chronicles, calling to mind the practices of Joash, Jehoida, Hosea and other polygamous champions cham-pions of the (wedding) rintr.

Time was not called on this round until the next day, when about 4,000 people surrounded the arena, eager for some fun. Both men looked bright and gamey. The fight now, by common consent, assumed a hase not allowed by the rules of the ondon prize ring, any sort of missile being allowed cither combatant. Pratt commenced by tipping the Washington Washing-ton boy some light "apostolic b ows and knocks," and followed them up by four more Old Testament texts. He then brought in his reserves, and threw in Newman's face the prostitutes and infanticides of New York and New England. This sent Newman to grass, amid the acelauiati dis of the saints, lh'ts were now tun to $-') on Pratt. Ftmrth tumid At the call of the uni;.:.'-'.
