curling from the tops of its cottages, and
manufactures appearing for background,
and tho busy betting and busting crowds,
who we're making preparations for the

Riley and George Casey for Horato or
"Rce' Bolster, the opponent Of War,
burton. Tim Corners Is chosen referee,
and in tho tossing for corners Warburton
gets the sun in his eyes, The Yale stu
dents, the gamblers, thieves, pickpockets,
fighters and others on the field crowd up
10 the ropes, and men in very cloud at
tire from Houston street and the conugu
Gus faro banks begin to offer bets in a
noisy manner, At four minutes past 9
o'clock Warburton pitches his fur cap in
the ring, jumps IN himself, and is saluted
with loud acclaim from the crowds Of his
friends present
At 81 minutes past 9 o'clock Mr. Ho-
ratio Tor "Race") Bolster follows his fur
cap into the ring, aud is also the recipient
of much enthusiasm. The rouChs are
now in perfect fever Of excitement, and
bets of "Glteen to ten" ara freely offered
on Bolster.
Bolster is evidently unfit to light, his
skin being of an ugly color as he strips
and, besides, he weighs but l2G pounds,
while Warburton strips with a skin white
as newborn baby, at 1879 pounds. Boil
sters eyes are discolored and he finds it
almost impossible to assume an erect pos
ture. Bolster fought twice before, and
was defeated, by Sam. Collyer and Mike
Carr. lie formerly served in the army,
and is of respectable parentage in Water
bury, Conn. His hight is feet 6 inches,
and Warburtons 5 feet l-2 inches.
The sun is shining warmly and the sky is
magnificent. The gentle surface Of the
Housatonic at the foot of the hill looks
like an endless belt Of pearls and dia-
monds aa it glstens in the suubeams. Az

the referee. Bolster. who has his back
and chest covered with huge plasters, and
Warburton advance towards each other,
with their breasts barred and their hands
clenched, on guard, and the fight has be-
gun. After great deal of walking and
skipping about. both men clinch with
shock, WarburtoR administering his rirbt
and left hand severely on the nostrils and
ribs of Bolster. who falls, looking nm with
smile into Warburton's face. Five
rounds were fought in this manner, Bol-
ster going down after receiving a series If
light blows on the face and head. no blood
being drawn bv either of the men and
in the sixth round Warburton, who won)d
certainly have won the fight without anv
trouble in ten additional minutes, admin

up, the Yale students CRYING out, with
classical promptitude, "Habst,1' "Habet.n
