Horrible COntest...A Drinking Duel


Horrible COnteSt...A Drinking Duel.
The New York Sunday Dispatch
tells the following: A fatal drinking
match came Off in Williamsburgh a
few days ago which has not yet been
made public. 1t appears there was a
dispute between an old French ply
stefan and the proprietor of one ofthe
largest breweries in the place, as to
which of the two could drink the
most liquor and carry it off. They
decided TO test the question by a trial,
said test to be a match at drinking
liquors at a convenient saloon, the
party giving up the trial first TO be
considered a second-class drinker, and
pay for a grand supper. Both parties
to this novel and disgusting contest
were large men, the physician being
able to turn the scales at two hundred
and twenty pounds, while the brewer
was perfectly mammoth in proper
tions-a perfect Gambrinus-weigh-
ing fully two hundred and fifty
pounds. A large crowd of profess
sional and amateur drinkists were on
hand when the match commenced,
and the bets were freely taken in fav-
or of the brewer; the German element
predominating. The first instalment
of four bottles of what was labeled
Bourbon Whisky" were disposed of,
each man drinking the same as his
opponent, and at the same time. The
whisky gave them renewed vitality,
apparently, for they laughed and
talked right merrily, albeit they be-
gan to give evidence of having Guilt
xvaA01 an nrnn of fur nm THAR fnnnTnnc &.
still they drank about once every five
minutes, and drank deep and deeper.
They changed their tipple to claret,
as a tonic, and here the Frenchman
seemed tn be more at home. 1t did
not suit the German so well, however,
and it was soon changed to sherry,
after three bottles had been gulped
down by each. The sherry was only
palatable while two bottles lasted
one each.
Their eyes began to show that pecu-
liarly CLASSY glare seen only in those
upon whom the effects of liquor have
gained ascendancy, but their strong
physique enabled them to keep their
seats, and their hands showed very
little shakiness. They called for
brandy, of which they partoOk a little
more sparingly than of the other
liquors, seemingly aware that while
they had no fear of the previous
draughts in which they had been in
dulging, there was death in the
bowP that contained this poison.
The German reached out cautiously
to the bottle to replenish his glass.
The Frenchman endeavored to follow
suit. The effort on the part of the
latter was futile-he could not move
his arm he endeavored to reach his
other hand. but it fell off the arm Of
his chair and hung powerless. He
Strengthened back in his chair slowly,
his body made a cOnvulsive move
ment, his face became horribly dis
torted, his eyes seemed as if they
would fly out of their sockets, his
tongue rolled out of his mouth, a few
gasps, his body trembled all over like
a shaken leaf-he aOds dead!
While his funeral was on its way to
the cemetery, the German also died,
the Coroner signing certificates as
cribing death in both instances to
heart disease.
