ConkIing and Chandler How the Michigand
. err Paiu ON an Ola Score---Mr. Howard %
Michigan, sends Conkling 10 Grass.
Crawford writes from Washington TO til,
Pittsburgh Ledd"r:
| do not care to say that Chandler drinks
to excess; he might urrc>. me for Crimna
libel, but think | may venture with impu
nity TO the statement he is not strictly TEN
perance man, and that after dinner he IN
clnes to become excessively garrulOuS. y
friend reports me sample OF Chandler
STYLE, as follows: Chandler loves TO boast Of
his strength Upon this particular occasion
he raised his arm over The table.
See my muscle said he, can lick any
man of my size anywhere. II am an old
man: that is because ! am sclenced IN the
business. But won't lick man unless he
IS "A gentleman. Now look at Don Pot OPlatu
he tells more damlse about me, and | would
lick him, but Don Pott is no gentleman
George Townsend was gong to lick once
for telling damlie about me, and | hunted
for him over tt week, but before found him
learned that he was no gentleman, and 50
his hide was saved"

dcnCc at Washington, where after dinner he
invites Esuch of his friends as ..arc gym
na.ticaily inclined for friendly lit le
bout with the gloves. Conkllng is very
GOOD amateur hoyer. and AS he is very large.
nowerful man he generally has il his own
,vnv with his Guests who are bold enough to
pui the gloves on with him. For some time
il was an open dispute between Chandler and
ConKlng which was the better boxer of the
two. Chandler would, after every dinner
