ANOTHER BRUTAL DIsPLAY.-A prize
fight took place near Norfolk on Saturday
between Norfolk man and Lvnchburger.
The agreement was that the Lynchbury
man, who is said to be giant compared
withthe Norfolk puglist, was to silence the
latter in fifteen minutes. Four rounds were
to be taught, Marquis Of QueenSbury rules,
ofthree minutes each, one minute rest and
ten seconds in case of a knock down for the
fallen man to get up. If the Norfolk man
should tight the full fifteen minutes he was
TO receive the purse, and if not the money
was to goto the Lynchburger The ightonly
lasted eight minutes, and at the expiration
OF that time both parties are said to have
appeared like bleeding hogs. so badly were
they punished.
The terrific blows of the Lynchburser
broke down all the guards of his antagonist.
but at one time, when coming at the Nor
fork man, he missed terrific blow. and the
latter catching him by the hip, was enabled
by an almost superhuman effort to lift the
Lynchburger from his feet and throw him a
distance of nearly ten feet The fight. how
ever, was ended by the referees, when the
Lynchburger, by powerful blow. almost
dislocated the neck of his opponent render
ing him senseless. But for the fact that in
his fall he was caught on the knee of his
second he would, it is stated. have been
Killed. The umpire at this time declared
the fight terminated, and thus, after a terri
BILE punishment, neither of the fighters real
lied the money put up on the match.
