count Of a prize fight between
dwarf known as "Brummy" aud
> bulldog known as Physic, IN a |
low sporting den in Hanley, Eng
land: The dwarf, however, was
not to be stormed and defeated all
in a moment. Onco the CHASTITY
tight begun, there was a dire fas-
cination in it, and noted closely |
the combat. The man was on all
fours when the words "Lct 60"
were uttered, and making accu-
rate allowances for the length Of
the dogs chain, he archcd his back |
cat-wisc SO as just to escape its |
fangs, and fetched it q blow on the
crown Of its head, that brought it
almost to its knees. The dogs re-
covcry, however, was instantane-
Gus, and before the dwarf could
draw back Physic mako a second
dash and this time Its teeth grazcd
the bipcd's arm, causing a slight
red trickling. lie grinncd scorn-
fully and sucked the place, but
there was tremendous excitement
among the bulldogs hackers, who
clapped their hands with delight,
rejoicing in the first blood. The
hairy dwarf was still smiling,
however, and while pan'l held his
dog preparatory to letting him 60
for round two, hc was actually

forward too, and smotc the bull
dog such o tremendous blow un-
der the car as to roll it completely
over, evidently bcwildcring It for
a moment, and causing 1t to bleed
freely, to tho frantic JOY of the
friends of the man-boast. But they
in turn were made to look serious,
for with astonishing energy Physit
turned about and with q dash was
again at the dwarf, and this time
