Doc FIGHT-An exciting dog fight took
place yesterday noon, in rear of the Melodeon,
between the well-known dog "Brafy," and
McCourt's dog "Sport." The hackers of Sport
bet that their favorite would "scratch" after
fighting ten minutes. 1t was evident from the
time they commenced that Braffy was more
than a match for his antagonist, but Sport
fought his best, and exhibited game to the last.
After fighting ten minutes they were separated
and allowed one minute to rest, when they were
again let loose, and Sport making another lunge
at his antagonist, won the bet for his hackers.
Dog fighting is becoming quite popular in this
place.
