The Committee on Ordinance met last

These rules were brought before them by a

a FIEReE FIaHT.
Two Men, Brothers Like the Sons
Of Adam, Of Old,
Settle Gndge BY a Stubborn Ring Fight
An Even Contest Ends in a Draw
and They Shake Hands.

On Sunday evening one Of the most stub
bornly contested ring fights on record came
off on the Peninsula. Over fifteen rounds
were fought and finally the referee had to
declare the SIGHT draw. This ring contest
unlike the majority now in vogue, was not
for money but was to test the superiority of
one man over another in the manly art,
The fight was strictly on the quiet, only ten
men witnessing it. From what could be
learned it seems that two brothers, both
residents of the Fourth ward, have for
some time back not been the
best Of friends, and on Sunday
they met and during controversy Of words
decided to repair to the Peninsula and fight
the grudge out, according to the rules ofthe
prize ring. Each contestant chose his
friends and the party repaired to q beauti-
full grass plat on the Peninsula, where q
ring was formed and referee and time
keeper selected. Even in the first round,
the spectators became convinced that the
battle was to be long and q bitter one.

went for each other vieiously, giving and
;sking. The honors in the first four rounds
were in favor of the younger man. but
his advantage was gradually lost
from that to the finish, as the older mans
stability began to show itself When the
men were called to the scratch, after fight
ing one hour and thirty minutes, they had
o be assisted a portion of the way to the
center Of the ring, when after the exchange
Of a couple of blows, both men fell to the
Eound completely exhausted. The referee
decided the fight draw. The most pleas
ug feature of the whole affair was that the
brothers finally shook hands over the
lloody chasm aud are now good friends, the
Id grudge being fully extinguished BY the
ight.

The Season Opened by the Fogg's Ferry
Company to n Big House.
Last evening the Foggs Ferry Company
,pened a weeks engagement at the
academy of Music. A very large audience
was in attendance, all Of whom were loud in
heir praise of the company, and especially
of the star, Miss Lizzie Evans, which was
ully demonstrated by the Number of en-
ores received. One Of the most notable
eatures of the occasion was the large num-
,er of ladies present in the
.udience. Col. Charles Shay certainly
deserves the patronage of the ladies Of this
.ity. as he has expended large sum OF
money in remodelling this place Of amuse,
nent, and his exertion was not lost on the
audience present last evening, who were
agreeably surprised to see this hall in such
inc order. Col Shay has booked for this
season some of the finest troupes on the
road and his great aim is to make this place
of amusement a popular resort for ladies
and their children.

THE FIRST DAY.
The Stats Fair Makes q Highly
CrsditabIe Opening.
The Weather Clear and Intensely Hot
Remarkably Fine Displays in Every
Departmeni--The Racing
for To-Day.

The State Fair opened up yesterday, and
the day, for an opening and under the car
cumstances, was somewhat remarkable.
The noticeable, and, it might be added, the
attractive feature, was the universally Of
the improvement in every department over
last year. There is no point from the ar
rangement of the grounds upto the entries
in any one department that is not an i'm
provement and the people who came, yes
terday. remarked this at glance. Theat-
tendance was not large-never is, on the
opening day-and there was no special fea-
ture to draw, but to-day will
mark the influx of people and
especially II, as now seems probable,
refreshing and enlivening shower visits u.s.
The weather was intensely hot and every
thing actually suffered under the fierce rays
of the sun, so that rain is all to be de-
sired.
AS might have been expected, there was
an air of preparation about many depart
nents that will be over to-day, and the
booths, spaces and displays that required
time will get it and be ready for public OBJ
seryation to-day.
