that they are having good time In coming TO the
Jubilee. and have by legitimate process sought TO
coax the pennies from the pockets OF the sufferers.
Long ago the owners OF the contiguous land were
besie0ed by small spectators who procured leases
OF the territory during the continuance OF the fest
val, and have erected hundred or more ugly look
ing sheds, which they have let out to venders OF
peanuts, gingerbread and other distressing
compounds. These shanties arranged with all
the beautiful regularity OF an aboriginal settlement,
are OF as many sizes and shapes as hailstones in
storm, and are covered with flaming advertisements
OF all sorts OF patent medicines quack nostrums,
hair-beautifers, th-preservers, and ten thou
sand other things for which space s granted by the
proprietor for so much square yard.
Desiring to know whether 1t would be profitable to
set up peanut refectory, we inquired OF the land
lord OF three "chebangs," OF which he occupied
one 10 feet front by 80 Deep which he said had the
advantage OF fronting on two Streets" he said
could use that until the first OF August for $500, and
another, half as large, for 5000 We conclude not ia
invest in peanuts; also that "confi1ence" must be
element in the makeup of those who propose to get
rich by playing Lazarus around the Coliseum.
The Norris Brothers have erected a small Coli

nothing has been heard from the party Men,
women, and children seem to be deeply inte-
rested in the fight, and are anxiously awaiting
the result. Great will be the disappointment,
and loud and deep the eXecrations should il
prove to be fzze or a sell out, as many predict.
Allen will be seconded by Sherman Thurston
and Butt Reilly; McCoole by Jerry Donovan
and Patsey Reardon. The referee will be
chosen upon the grounds. Both principals and
their adherents express themselves confident of
victory. McCoole is the favorite, and bet on
Allen is taken as soon as proposed, and large
odds given by his hackers.
Allen enters the ring at 10 pounds only 80
