Wonders Never Cease.

The New York sun gives the fol-
lowing: "A queer story is told of
young millionaire who is fond of
displaying his pugilistic ability.
Two nights ago he went to the
haunt kept by Joe Coburn. The
gloves were brought out and a ring
was formed. The professional went
down every time before his oppo-
nent; tables and chairs looked like
ninepins, and at the close of the
encounter Joe Cobern received a
check for 100000, which he took
as gracefully as he did his licking"
For the reliable Sun to give space
for such a story as this is remark
able. The more so as nearly every
prominent pugilist has had a SINH
lar story related of him. Is Joe
Mulhattan getting is his work?
