Since Ed. Halan defeated William Elliott
and added the title of champion of Eng
land" to that of which he was ALREADY
possessed, the people have been lavishing
presents upon him; but, although some OF
these gifts lave been very valuable, and
are priced highly by the recipient, we
fancy that in the estimation of the ham
pion they are as naught compared with
that which he received on Friday, July
25tb, at Toronto. The donor was his better
half, and the gift took the form Of bounc-
ing daughter "the very image Of its father"
We congratulate the champion, "for it's
greatly to his credit" etc.
