Two MauIers Take the Ring ina n
Desperate Fight.
A desperate set-to occurred at New
Town. Ruby Hill, last Sunday evening,
between two we'll known bruisers from the
Richmond Side. The participants, Ike
Bronson and Sam Brassy. are both looked
upon as adopts in the "milling art" and
consequently great interest was mani
tested in the affair. Whether the fight
was p~remeditated we have no means Of
knowing. and can only describe the affair
as ii occurred.
All being in readiness, and the immense
crowd being disposed in tolerable order by
those who chose to do their duty, Brassy
appeared at the ring side, and having SHE'D
his castor within the ropes, quickly fol-
lowed it himself, attended by Bob Hart
ney and the accomplished Frankey Gillen
as seconds. Bronson was not long In fol-
lowing his example, esquired by Billy
Baldwin and Tom Williamson. Rollin
Roberts acted as umpire for Bronson, and
Billy North for Brassy. Ben. Berry acted
as referee and time caller. The boys
shook hands at about 8 o'clock.

tiously for a few seconds, each regarding
the other with evident friendly feeling.
The warmth Of greeting appeared to give
great satisfaction to the crowd assembled.
Brassy opened the ball in q workmanlike
manner. by planting his right heavily on
the left eye Of Bronson, who was unable
to get in an effective return. Some sharp
give-and.take work followed, and the
round was finished by Bronson's going to
mother earth, with a sockdolloger on the
nose. First ~knockdown and blood were
claimed and allowed for Brassy. Time,

went Bronson, amid the shouts of Brassy'i
admirers. Six to four was now offered or
