FIGHT.
Round lon throwing off their togas, there
was great disparity in the appearances of the
men-mucn greater, indeed, than would have been
expected from the slight difference of weight.
Tom, whose condition was superb, was broad
shouldered, thickloined and muscular, the WEIGHT
being just where it ought to be; while BreftIe
looked narrow and round on the shoulders, and had
not the upright, firm bearing of the Champion. In
height, too, there appeared more than the actuaI
difference of bare inch. Toms mug of the two
was feshier than his opponents but It looked hard
as nails. In point OF age there was considerable
advantage in favor of the Brum whose fresh com
plexion, and healthy, country appearance CON
trasted strongly with the Champions bronzed but
somewhat stale complexion. The wear and tear of
fifteen the gay life he has led have evil
IDENTIFY left their mark, and we should imagine that
if Tom is fortunate enough to retain the belt the
stipulated time, he will be only too glad to retire
upon his laurels. Each had pleasant, good
humored smile on his phiz, but the Champion
seemed to be more at home than his adversary.
Bob looked leary, and walked round his man with
kind of crab-like sideway movement. and look
ing out OF the corner of his ogle, was evidently
on the lookout to catch the Champion tripping,
and make dash at him with his right Tom
was awake, however, and though not moving far
from the scratch, stepped with Bob, and con-
trived to keep him continually facing him.
At length Bob, finding his man SO fly to his little
game, dashed straight at him, and let go the left,
which caught Tom very slightly the beak-
Tom nodded and smiled, as much as to say, "wait
a minute" and Bob renewed his journey round his
man, who remained in the middle of the ring. at
length Bob again dashed in, and exchanges took
place, in which Tom left bis mark on Bob's fore
head. Bob retreated, came again, and lunging
out his left, prettily countered on the mouth,
from which first blood was instantly visible, the
blow being hot 'un. Some neat exchanges fol-
lowed on the side of the head; they then broke
away, and as Sayers followed his man, Bob ducked
his head, but Sayers caught him a sharp spank on
the probocis, which led to counter-hitting, when
Tom got we'll on the forehead and Bob FELL A
claim of first knock down for Tom was made. but
disallowed, as Bob was evidently getting down
when the blow reached him.
2. Bob's beak and mouth showed that Tom had
been there; he, however, dashed in, and heavy ex-
changes took place, Tom getting to the left
pepper, and Bob on the body. Bob now broke
away, and resorted to his cunning peripatetic
dodge, but Tom only grinned and waited for him.
At length Bob dashed in, and got on the chest very
slightly, Tom returning well on the kisser. Bob,
after another pedestrian excursion, came again and
let go the left which was stopped, and he again
walked around and showed his muscle. Tom step
ped with him, and each tried to draw the other,
until at last Bob let go his left, and sharp ex-
changes followed on the cheek with the left, and
Tom fell. claim of knock down for Brettle not
allowed, Tom being on the hop and partially slip
ping down.
8. Tom on coming up had slight mark on the
left cheek, which caused the Bruins to cheer vocfe
rously. Bob, on seeing IT, made dash to force the
