Show Pbize Fioot. Strolling leisurely along last evening in the outskirts of town our reporter wes surprised to stumble upon an organized performance perform-ance that he had nowhere seen advertised, adver-tised, A ring had been arranged, with all due and proper observances of rules pugilistic, and two true and tried gentlemen of muscle were punishing each other with a will. Whilo our representative quietly stood gazing with fixed eyes upon the "glorious sport," three knockdowns followed each other in as many minutes, and then one man sprang upon the other's back, intending to finish tho show in a second. Ho succeeded, for tho first turned with a powerful wrench and planting his right "mawley" behind tho other's ear, landed him under the feet of the seconds, cleared the ring at a bound and left the performance in statu quo. Just at this moment a cry of police arose and the select orowd dispersed dis-persed in a manner not less ceremonious ceremoni-ous than wanting in the essentials of politeness. It is safe to presume our reporter did not linger long about the olassio shades. We forbear giviDg names, but understand there was a lady in the case. |
