Show High-toned f ogillsts. The brief sensation of East Temple atreet yesterday was a display of pugilism, the combatants being of the "high up" classes. Ono was a clean shaved young Celt, of fair proportions, tho other a) grizzled geutloman of quiet demeanor and perhaps fifty winters. They met on tho sidewalk near the express office, when the young man accosted the veteran as "a d d thief." Silver-grey shot it back to him in the shape of "ad d lying b of a h h," Tho bounio Scot, catuo again with his hunch of fives against tlie old man's countenance, and tho hitter got in a handsome feeler on tho larboard quarter of the Celt's nose. Now tho baltlo waxed interesting. Tho pugilists clinched, each devoting the left hand to hugging tlie enemy, while the right fists wore converted into self-acting laeo pum-elling pum-elling mallei. At this atago of tho proceeding spectators and police interfered in-terfered and spoilt tho entertainment. Neither of tho parties havintj taken or given satisfaction, the h flair must bo considered a draw with the odds in : favor of age. In the police court tho fighters were fined $l0each. |
