MINOR FIGHT.
Holding nearly the same relation to "the great fight
that the "side shows" have to the circus, was the
combat between the American "feather weight and
the English Eight weight"-the former Charles
Lynch, the latter, William Shaw. As lively speci-
men of the transatlantic style of reporting puglsc
encounters, the following extracts from Belts Life will
not he devoid of interest:
the great international stic tournament. As, how
ever il was impossible TO bring the event on fresh
arrangements had 10 be made and the begerents met
on Thursday but notwithstanding the most strenuous
efforts ON the part of the referee could not be concluded
owing to the unpleasant interference OF the Phstnes,
at time when matters had arrived at rather an I'M

test was without any further the Blues

fought in the game and heroic style that they had
exhibited throughout the contest on the preceding day.
and although the rounds from the manly and brilliant
manner in which they fought are well deserving

displayed the same points that they did the preceding
day, Shaw, from the clever and effective style in

sponge, not wishing TO the poor little fellow
essy punished. Lynch, ON leaving the ring, had his

dial. Shaw had during the battle been hit heavily
about the rbs and although he did not show anything
like heavy punishment about the mob, yet there be
no doubt he felt good deal internally for his oppo-

weights did his best 10 win, and we hope he will not
