We learn from q Memphisn who as
sisted at the MIL near New Orleans, thst
~ofsavsRery tha has occurred In twenty
years. The GROVE Of spectators was, with
out AsinRle exception, the worst-looking
set OF roughs IN the face Of the earth.
There was more slang used than would
suffice for the "fastD paper Of Memphis
for three months. The plscs selected was
g sWamp, overgrowp with pine wood, and
quite swampy. The rain poured down in
inosszAnt torrents from beginning TO end
of nght. The "ring" was worse Than
q pig psn, covered over with mud as
blsck s. one Of Leidy's hats. After the
frat couple Of rounds both men became
nike chimney HHeePs, so that the whole
light was ike a svsEe orgie Of b worst
description. Alter fighting two hours
both OF them showed q want OF grit that
was very "a becoming t'the ring" They
acted on n pnoYerb .prudence IL the
better part Of yalor,' and 90 managed 70
leave the place with q whole skin TO each.
For q whole hour before the scent closed
both men would walk mp 70 the 'scrstch"
and stand looking 81 each other, afraid 70
lead o." They are a pretty PAir Of
scAmps. 5e r1err
