GREENSBORO, Pa, June 2S.-The
staid authorities of West Virginia
have suffered another outrage upon
their feelings and the laws of their
State. Two pugilists, named respect
lively T. b. walling and Bryan Camp
bell, have come all the way from
Colorado to show that they could
fight in our sister State with impu-
nifty. Yesterday afternoon the
steamer J. G. Blaine was boarded in
Pittsburgh BY the usual class Of citi-
zens attending exhibitions Of muscle
aud nerve in the twenty-four foot
ring. Taking them as whole the
beauty of their physique
DIDN'T RISE ABOVE THE SHOULDERS.
The faces to be seen around the
supper table of the steamer were
worthy the paint Of Hogarth, and
certainly showed more phases OF ug-
linesss than are often squeezed into
mob of thirty or forty men. How
ever their personal disadvantages Of
appearances was not self-bestowed,
and truth compels the statement that
the behavior Of the sporting party on
the boat was unexccptional. There
was no rows or blackguardism, and
it is probable that many Of the other
passengers up the Monongahcla had
no idea that the boat was carrying
the material for an
INTERESTING AND MORAL ATHLETIC
ENTERTAINMENT.
The Blaine arrived ut Greensboro,
Pa, about 6:45 a. nj. to-day. A re-
view of the crowd showed that II
numbered at least one hundred, in
Guiding reporters. The small steam
CT Harry, Of Greensboro, was engag-
ed to carry some thirty-five, and the
balance made their way to the scene
Of the fight by wagons, pedestrian
ism, etc. An hours ride on the boat
brought the cxcnrsionists to point
in Monongalia county, West Va, just
across the border line. No time was
lost in getting to business. A suita-
Bile spot was chosen in the property
of Mr.. Everley, in a bottom, under
the grateful shade Of a.,locust tree,
surrounded by forest-covered hills
The rope and stakes were arranged
at 900, and thirty five minutes later
wALLlNG STEPPED INTO THE RING
and waited for Campbell, who follow
ed him in about ten minutes. The
demeanor Of the two men differed
widely. Walling was very quiet and
undemonstrative, but Campbell
threw his hat into the enclosure with
a whoep, as he crossed the rope
lone hundred dollars l win the fight,
yelled Campbell, but nobody took
him up, and the proceedings opened
up with the choosing of the usua
officials, who were as follows: Ref
cree, Pat Kelley; time-kceper, james
Johnson; umpire for Campbell, Cal
vim Cusart. Campbell's seconds were
Pete Sweeney and Chris Robinson
while Patsy Maley and Geo. johnson
handled Walling. The latter's col
ors were red, white and blue stripes
while Campbell fought in emerald
green.
THE TOSS FOR CORNERS
resulted in favor Of Campbell, and
he placed his adversary where thu
sun would shine in his eyes as soor
as it appeared. There was a driz
cling rain falling at this time, but
before the fight was ended old So
stepped into the ring and belaboret
the combatants about the head, and
showed his willingness to engage al
the spectators as we'll. The referee
made short speech, saying that the
men had come all the way from Colo
RADIO to settle the question as t.
which was the best man, and asking
for them a fair show and no favor
The crowd by this time had reached
about 200 persons, the news that Q
prize fight was to take place having
attracted nearly all the male popula
ton within a radius Of several miles
Among those who appeared to enjoy
the contest was
| AN Ex-BAPTIsT MINISTER,
who had reached the scene "by acct
dent"
