poured over his huge figure in such
streams that Mase himself was covered
with it and the clothes of Hurst's two
seconds almost saturated.
Nothing showed the enormous strength

blood with apparently little diminution Of
his colossal power. He still pursued
Mase with determination, but never once

ing sound like striking raw meat, that
was sickening to hear. Nothing stopped
the copious streams of blood that flowed
from all parts OF Hurst's face, and the
whole of this one sided contest became
disgusting and horrible beyond descrip-
ton. After there had been ten rounds
and the fight had lasted some three quar-
ters of an hour, Hurst's seconds and
hackers saw that his case was hopeless,
and urgently strove to make him discon-

beyond description. His seconds and

knowledge, and kept Hurst in a corner
till he gradually became insensble, and
all the restorative arts of the ring were
exhausted in efforts to keep him from
fainting, which, in the absence of sur

The spectacle which he presented was
too horrible for description. Even the
Oldest champions Of the ring we're aghast
at the fearful punishment inflicted in fifty
minutes. Mace had not a single mark
on him. The dockyard police we're dis

prevent the fight, and arrived just as it
was over. Quite official, that 1t is a
kind of sett of to this revolving business
to say that poor IIursts comrades on
both sides were most solcitous in their

went about among them and raised a sub

Such facts, though undoubtedly praise
worthy, but poorly colnterbalance the
horrible nature of the contest. Yet pu-
gilists think the ring will again glow with
all the brutal magnifcence OF the days of
the regency. Revive the ring 1t
would be easier to restore the heptarchy.
CHRsT THE MEDIATOR.-That man,
by himself, cannot attain to the Infinite,
that the sphere of his consciousness and
his sensibiity terminates within the lin

MEDIATOR is necessary to unite the phe-
nomenon OF day with the eternal and
substantial existence this is what we
cannot doubt. Hence the necessity of
middle term between God and man;
hence, again, the necessity that it should
be God who manifests himself to man.
