He seemed to know Logans weaknesses, and
how to touch him on the raw every time.
His speech bristled all over with sharp points,
and he made them in the most admirable
temper. He foored the gentleman from
jackson county every time, and did it all as
a mere matter of course, without the slight
est Indication of vanity in his pronounced
success. The audience followed him with
the utmost delight, and when he sat down
there was an explosion of applause which
shook the amphitheater from center to cir
conference. A friend of Logan said, when
the bout was over, that Logan made mis-
take. That was the opinion of friend and foe
alike. Haymond's mastery assault on Logan

congratulations poured in upon him from all
quarters.
