some rapid hghtlng,. all In Lindsay's favor
and the two men clinched: Right here the
first foul was committed, Demsey delivering
an upper cut with his formidable left, as
they, stood in close embrace. This was too
much for the irascible Lindsay, and he
picked up his, truculent adversary and
slammed MN down on the planks hard
enough TO XIII a horse: From this point on
pandemonium relgned, and the battle was
nothing but a rough -and-tumble fight
10 the close, but throughout it all Lindsay
showing such superior skill, strength,
hnesse and generalship as leaves no doubt
but what he could whip Dempsey to stand
still, under any rules, any circumstances, at
any time or any place. In the succeeding
three rounds, which were series of palpa-
BILE fouls on both sides, he knocked the Cali
fornian down no less than four times,
spashed the cochineal all over his face and
made him see more heavenly consultations
in minute Than he will see in q lifetime,
and he may live to the age of Methuselah.
