A fsticuir performance took place at the
the National Hotel last evening, which has become
interesting to some extent, to the good people OF
Washington both on account OF its consequences
and It's sectional aspect The parties are son OF
Judge DALLAS, of Pittsburgh, and nephew OF Hon
GEORGE NJ DALLAS, who was recently "A Clerk IN one

A friend was about Introducing DALLAS To HOOP,
when the latter declined, saying DALLAS was no gen.
tleman Upon the instant DALLAS replied with sew
eral smart blows across lioOE's face, with small
cane. They were separated at the time, but about
an hour after DALLAS followed and attacked him on
the steps OF the Hotel HOOK, who was much the
largest OF the two, turned and gave his opponent
some hard knocks, stamping him IN the face with his
boots after getting him down and otherwise handling
him very severely They were again separated. To-
ward evening DALLAS sent a challenge, which was
accepted and they went out of town last evening IN
tending TO get up early this morning ana take shot
at ten PAGES The Police however, spoiled the sport,
and hey were out on bail this morning hooE mas
since got away TO Virginia, but his opponent Is again
under arrest. DALLAS remarked, when he returned
tins morning, that u was pity the Police lnterieIed,
&" Il tcas such fine morning for pulling trigger"
