PUGILISM.
Pram', THE BLACK, AND " THE UNKNoWN."—At Broome s, on
Friday, the appointed meeting, to draw up articles for 2001. aside, took
place, when the renowned Bendigo, whose retirement we so recently
announced, was, to the surprise of all, and of none more than the
sable hero and his friends, declared tq,be the man whose name should
fill the blank in the agreement. To this Perry's backer and friend,
Ben Caunt, strenuously objected, on the ground that at the time of
posting the ten pounds, to make the match, Bendy was, by his own
public declarations, understood to be out of the question. His right
to another " last appearance" was, however, insisted on, and a forfeit
claimed. After much discussion, Caunt and his sable protege left.
Saturday morning, at a further meeting, it was proposed, by Perry's
party, to go on with the match to-da3, at Swift's, who holds the
money down. Whether the last-named person will consider the cash
forfeited, on the ground that Perry undertook to sign and seal on
Thursday, remains to be seen. If he does so, the affair must begin
air nOVO.
