EIGHT MINUTES.
The Time In which I'd. Green
Dressed aud Hung Up = Buiieek
Ready for she Market


The akinning match between Ed.
Green and William Friend. two crack
butchers. took place yesterday at the
Combination slaughtsr.houss. north OF
Virginia City. A News reporter was
present. It was an interesting sIhibi.
ton Of skill and strength, attracting
about $50 spectators. The match was
for $50 a side. but the stakes were In
significant compared with the rsputa-
ton and glory attendant upon the VIC
tory. ]. q. Mssel and Charley Zsielsr
were chosen judges. the conditions being
that the beef should be dressed and
hung up In fair marketable style.
At 8 O'Clock the men announced
themselves ready. Friend wen tbs
choice OF bullocks. The animals were
driven into a close pen, an assistant got
upon O platform above them. sud with
a heavy iron spear striking the animals
Immediately behind the horns accom-.
plishsd the work OF death very promptly.
This required but q moment. The
bodies were then brought In upon the
floor and the jugular vein being cut. the
blood was let out. AL this wa simply
preliminary.
When everything was In readiness
the word was given aud the task OF
d~enudation commenced. A moro OF.
citing scene eau scarcely be imagined.
The glittsring knives. directed with fate
full certainty, fairly flashed through the
tough hides. In less than second both
heads dropped into the trough. One
stroke was sufficient to open the skin
the full length Of the belly. The legs
were next assailsd, and In less time
than Il takas to tell, were left without
their usual covering. The order to hoist
was given ind with q savage slash OF the
steel, the entrails lay steaming upon the
floor.
At this time there seemed to DO bat
little advantage, the men going together
from point to point, with Green .
fractional part Of q second In advance.
So close was the work that sven those
best qualified to judge were uncertain ~
to the FINAL result. After hoisting.
Friend grasped the 'phtch" to break
down the skin from the sides.
while Green retained bis knife.
Here Green got away from his
opponent and maintained his advaa-
taes to the end. In splitting the carcass
hs made 4 better job than Friend. and
In exactly eight minutes from the time
OF starting. stood between the divided
portions OF his beef. Friend did not ut
ter Q word, but continued his work, I'm.
ishing thirty.ssven seconds later.
Il must be admitted that both mon are
clever artists, and that Friend labored
under some disadvantage In being o.
stranger, while Green was upon his own
floor. Il 10 the general opinion. how
ever, that Green 10 the better workman.
The betting was two to o on Green be-
fore the commencement. There VA
great eIcitsmsnt from the beginning to
the end. Another match OF the same
kind may DO the result. Those who I'M
derstand such matters will recognize the
fact that eight minutes Is Q short timsin
which to dress o bullock ready for the
market.
