 Man and Dog Fighting.
 From the New York Herald.l
 The fight between Brennan and the blood hound at St. Louis few days ago for money is not the only one between man and dog that has taken place in this country, although they have been quite frequent in England. In the summer of 1926, George Kensett, the pugi- list, soon after his fight with James Sanford,
  ing to man named Rawson, who kept tavern at the Spring Gardens at that time. Kensett and 8 party of friends had been stout for day" at the Fish House across the Spring Gardens, 8 popular resort at that time and on returning with ''wee drap- pie in our e'e," stopped at Rawson's for lit tie more of the same sort They passed the mastif as they approached the house through the garden, when the dog showed his temper by rushing to the length of his chain, and making desperate efforts to get at the party l as they passed him on their way to the bar room. When Kensett met Rawson angry words passed between them, and he told Raw son that he could Click him and his dog then and there" After considerable bantering and | abuse on the part of Kensett Rawson matched his dog for $50 to fight the pugilist. The l party adjourned to large room up stairs in | Rawson's tavern, where Kensett stripped to the l buff, and, after the appointment of a referee, the dog was brought in by hismaster. Time was soon called, and the dog was sent at Kensett 1 on rush, the latter being on the defensive throat, Kensett struck out with his left quick | ly and f1oored the mastif with hard hit in | the neck. Kensett took his position again | and waited for the mastif's attack. He was not long kept in suspense, however, for the | dog soon sprang at him again to be foored | second time, this time by 8 left handler on the side of the head and right handler in the | ribs. The third round also was soon settled. | Kensett hit the dog down, straddled him, seized him by the throat and pummelled him | until the brute yelped for mercy. Rawson | then gave up for the dog and the stakes were | awarded to the pugilist. The whipping that l the mastif received completely conquered | him of his fierce disposition, and he was nev- | CT known afterward to jump or bark at any | person. Kensett always insisted that any | good, straight hitting man could whip any | dog, no matter how big, if he only had the | courage to try the experiment.
