PRIZE FIGHT.

A tBrutsl ExhibItion Between Two Rallies
Over One Hundred Witnesses Prescnt-No
Arrests
ON Monday last our city was dsgraoed win
between two noted bullies in the northwestern part
OF the city, the arrangements for the matter having
been going ON for week before IL had its origna-
ton within square OF the Twelfth District station,
and yet there was no effort made by representa-
i've i've Douy tthe Police Department. to prevent lts
was witnessed by more than OF the officials who
are sworn to protect the peace Of the city.
On sunday week there was q bar-rOOm squabble
between one Michael Leafy and one Patrick Tracy
in which the former was worsted. LeafY then
issued "den." which was accepted, aud the friends
hit upon the succeeding Sunday and "Jimmy's'
woods as the time and place for the ring to be
pitched. However, at the time specified one OF the
combatants Jailed to put In an appearance. He las
called upon, and the reason given being satisfac-
tory one, the next day (MondaD was set apart.
The thing having been generally promulgated,
the interesting party repaired to the spot, which is
beyond Broad street. in squads aud as some OF them
say, in 80 doing, policemen who were "ny to
the movement were passed.
The ring was formed, seconds selected, and
referee appointed In accordance with the rules of
the p. X. The men having tossed for choice OF
ground, jumped into the enclosure, which was sur
rounded by crowd of at least one hundred men,
stripped OF everything save their drawers and boots
They then went to work and pummeiled each other
to their hearts content. Leafy was scienced in the
pugiistic art and, following in the wake of some OF
the famous lighters, went for Tracys eyes.
The latter, though powerfully framed man, was
little short in the arms and not being able TO reach
tne peppers OF nS antagonist struck Tor the lower
part OF the body, and no less than eight times
knocked the pins Of Leafy under him However, in
no one instance did Leafy fail TO come up when time
was called, and while Tracy was knocking the wind
out OF him, he was shutting the daylight from
Tracy.
Eghty-three rounds were fought,g Leafy's body
showing signs OF the terrible punishment which he
was receiving. But then one eye OF Tracy was COM
petely shut up and the other fast following suit
was evident at the end of that round that Patrick
would have to give In and he was so advised. He
continued, however, and early in the eightyfourth
round the remaining pepper was closed, which was
soon made manifest from the wildness OF his deli
very. The men clinChed, and while in the "hug'
the seconds were compelled to interfere and sepa-
rate them, and Tracys representative threw up the
sponge. This was at the expiration of one hour and
six minutes.
Both were then dressed and taken in the same car
riage to their homes, where the services OF phys
clans were required. Leafys injuries through the
night it was thought would prove fatal but he has 81
far recovered that he is deemed out OF danger.
The matter has come to the attention Of the au
thorities and 1t remains to be what will be done

RAMPAGEOUS.
Grand Runaway Everybody Frlghtened,
bnt Nobody Hurt.

but Nobody Hurt.
Last evening, about O'Clock, an exciting incident
occurred in the lower part Of the city, I'm which two
spirited grey horses belonging to the Second and
Third Streets Passenger hallway Company figured
conspcuously These horses were attached to car
No. 62, and in turning the "horn" at the downtown
terminus took it into their heads to give e2hibi-
tion of their mettle. Giving a grand lurch, they
broke the pole near the dasher and then plunged up
the street, dragging the driver headong over the
dasher That individual saw at once that the fiery
seeds were too much for him. and dropped the rens,
when he was himself dropped upon the cobblesto
The horses continued on their wild career and
came in sight OF No. 5l the conductor of which,
as he could make out the OF the conster-
nation, told two or three ladies' who were seated
the rear door OF his to hurry to the front.
He followed them just in time, for the next moment
the rampageous greys had planted their fore-feet
upon the rear platform, smashing, down the dasher
on level with their foothold, and giving the car
tremendous jar. One OF the horses thrust his head
into the car through the side window aad the other
entered the doorway, and there for instant they
Stood t0 the terror of the lady passengers who OF
course set up howl. Said an old lady, whose wits
were completely scattered by the equine appar-
tions, ''FheIr eyes were as large as saucers, and
you could have put your head into their
nOsesw But nobody was hurt, although the escape
from danger a narrow one. The greys then
turned about and plunged down the street until they
when they again countermarched at a gallop, and
continued up the street until the end of the pole
became entangled, and they were thrown almost
breathless into the gutter. Both of them were
found to be injured, especially tina that had the
impertlnence to push his head through the closed
window of the car but their injuries were not Of
serious character.

nuisance. Sundry of our boOtbacks have been

have become inveterate thieves and select Sunday

and taking in all kinds OF good counsel and moral

escape punishment, and are thus encouraged to go
