over to the Jersey shore and landed near the
water Works. They we're careful not to
attract attention. After walking about q
little together they scattered, and half an
hour later met In hollow
ground near Moro Phillips Chemical
Works. They stripped to the waist, and the
assistants and Stockholders clustered round
them and gave an initial aud suppressed
cheer. Both fighters showed pluck. Nc
Loughlin led off in the first round with HIS
