| RECORDER EMERSGN'S C0iRT.-.jaHes FitZger-
| aid, John Thompson, McManus, Jim McNah, and
| Fred MGTe went together on lake froc on SUI
| }
| morning, all being more or less glorious. One OF
the party had in his hand an Inflated bladder, With
which he amused himself, by peitng the faces Of
the others. This finally led to quarrel and fight
between Fitzgerald and Mckanus, the party being
| on Union street at the time The others separated
| them, and they all came along together on St
| Charles street, till they got opposite Dave Bid
| wells, when Fitzgerald and blcbtanus made a
| friendly agreement to have it out, right there.
Both are powerful and active men, and Fitzgerald
somewhat of o pFize-hghter:
They seized each other, and. after exchanging
some pretty heayV fee!ers, clinched ana fell IL
regular rouGl-a4d- tumble, the rest standing around
to see fair play. There were no police TO inter
fere, the hour beng that in winch there are neither
day nor night officers on the beat The fight las ted
| nearly Aat an Aouf. AT one hhe InHgefald
planted his teeth IN the neshy part OF McNanus
! breast, and began chewing away like bulldog
at the same time, Mellanus was chewing two OF
ti?geraid's : fingers. Jim 4GNaU here gathered up
a coupi5 Of brickbats, and, by few gentle blows
upon tjtZgerald'o 5 head, made him quit biting

his loaded cane kept the ring clear. At last 6
policeman appeared and interfered, for which lie
was popped by John Thompson, and Men ah WaF
about to liatten another policeman with one Of his
bricks Fitzgerald and McManus being still en-
gagged III their rou8h-and-tumbie over the stones
Of the street. One of the two was seized by the
| hair, and his head hammered on the street in a
violent manner to make MIN lei 60 some foul hole
he had. Ihe combatants Kept on Ike a par
Dull dogs rnti AT last they were sepafateQ ny the
police, who captured only two-Fitzgerald ant
Thompson. These two, upon arraignment before
the Recorder were fined ten dollars each. 1t wa:
believed that if the fight had not been stopped
Mc3lanus would have been the victor. 1t was th'

many day, and the few policemen who reached
