On descending from their carriages tic par.
ties seemed to be in the best of spirits, neither
appearing nj all anxious or nervous ns to the
result. About hnlf mn hour Was occupied in ar.
engagements; ten paccs were marked oT and
tested BY the seconds. md the PRINCIPALS placed
in their rcla!iye posltions. Their seconds lad

Judge Terry maintained that Of Il practical du-
ctist, presenting only the edge Of lis person 10
his antagonist, and keeping his left hand and
shoulders vel behind him. Mr. Droterick, on
the contrary, though at first assuming posi-
tion soEnewhat similar to that Of the Other,
strained one. and gradually presented more OF

Antagonist, aud ran his eye rapidly along the
ground from him to his own o*n position, rs if
drawing 9 bce-line between them. From that
lime he did not raise his eyes until The word was
given to fire.. Once his right foot cot flact'on
