came into the ring he made many offers OF bets;
one of 500 he would win the fight; again he
offered TO wager $500, and after this 500 he
got the first knockdown. No takers appeared

friends at this apparent exhibition Of pluck
An offer came from Morrissey to stake $500

offers to bet all sorts Of amounts on first knock

came to the scratch, cycling each other closely.
Considerable sparring took place, and much
science was shown. Kelly at last, under a

Price returning it with a lnavy left handler on
the right cheek, drawing the first blood Kelly
on recovering from the blow at once closed
with Price and after a short struggle was very
handsomely thrown; Price falling upon him
heavily. This round lasted Eve minutes.
