forms, He was hit away, when performing active operations;
by a blow in the throat, which produced a mountthank focr

adversary, and threw him.
3. Both were waiting for wind, and it was a long tine
coining ; at length Plank floored his adversary by a hit is the
mouth and he dropped two of his grinders.

Plank was contending against a man 181bs. heavier than himself,
yet he bull-dogged him iu a manful style, and from his strait
hitting had equal advantages.
10. This round reduced the fight to something like a cert:AL:7,
as Ford's right eye was completely closed, and the le.( was
damage& Plank's object seemed to be to sew up die other, lilt
his tactics were clumsily returned upon by his adversary's lett
hand, which floored him.
11. Ford's head *a! so disfigured, that his wife would not
have known him, and his opponent gave up the twlior. of c.le.inj
.the other peeper, from the blow he km.pped in the Ls: revons-
Both were too much tired to do snischLf, and they went
down
together in a dose.
• 1.2 t Herr Plank wan the fight by plating a chance Lit or. his
adversary's temples, and although he stood :.-attir.3 up live valor
rounds, he was then obliged to say—enough.
