A TROJAN PRIZE FIGHT.
virgirs Description of a Match Between
Two Great SIuggers.

virgips Description of Match Between
Two Great Singers.
The first prize fight of which we have any
detailed description, says the New Orleans
Ptcavune, was specially reported by the great
Latin poet, Virgil, in the fifth book of the
Eneid. When Prince Eneas was escaping
with his followers from the destruction OF
Troy he anchored his feet off the coast OF
Sicily and landed the men and women for
season of rest. To celebrate the occasion he
organized contests of archers, wrestlers and
boxers, beside a regatta and foot races. The
prize fight was between Entellus, an old
athlete. and Dares, young champion OF tne
ring. We are not told If the Marquis of
Queensberry's rules were used or not but
there were scientific regulations. Both cham
pions had their fists armed with gloves OF raw
hide and lead.
Entellus stripped of his quilted coat, lis
body barred, composed of mighty bones and
brawn" while Dares Ibis brawny back and
ample breast he shows"
Both on the tiptoe stand at full extent.
Their arms aloft, their bodies lnly bent;
Their heads from aiming blows they bear afar,
With clashing gantlets then provoke the war.
Their hollow sides with rafting thumps resound.
Heavy with age. Enteilus stands his ground;
But with his warping boty wards the wound.
While Dares traverses and shifts his place,
Andlike a captain who beleaguers round
Views all the approaches with observing eyes,
And more on art than upon force relies.
Finally the old man grows warm and rushes
upon his antagonist:
He lays on loads with either hands amain,
Nor stops nor stays, nor rest nor breath allows,
, The young man is beaten and has to be taken
from the field.
His mouth and nostrils pour,d purple flood.
And broken teeth came rushing with his blood.

Simple Solution of a Mystery That Had

Annoyed Many Persons.
Troy Times.l
A few years ago house in the central part
of the State had the reputation Of being
haunted. A succession of tenants occupied it
at short intervals, but quickly sought and
found some other abode without a ghostiy
occupant Every few nights. it was said. in a
certain part of the garret of the haunted
house the wailing of a ghost could be heard:
''Oh, dearl Oh, dearr' as If the spirit was
suffering the most frightful agony. The prop
erty degenerated in value on the owners hands,
and at length it became almost impossible for
him to find anyone who would live in the place,
Finally a bright thought struck the annoyed
possessor. He would lay that ghost and wind
up its affairs, or know the reason why"
Following the noise that night, he came to a
window of the garret close to which the mourn
full sound emanated. The mystery was quickly
cleared. Just without stood tree, one of its
limbs having grown against the side of the
house. Every time the wind blew this project
ing outshoot would rake the clapboards, max
ing sound resembling O-o-o-h! when it moved
one way, and d-e-a-ri when it returned. The
next morning q few clips with an ak removed
the limb and the ghost returned no more. A
fearless investigation Of this character will lay
ghosts as thistle downs trall with the winds in
the latter part of the summer.

An Australian drama that comes highly in

be presented at Harris Theater this week,

The play Is founded on Marcus Ciarxe's novel
of the same name, and illustrates convict life
on Van Diemans Land. The story while a ro-

probability, and, as a drama, does not lose any
of its interest or force. To use familiar ex-

THE BUSTLE NOT NEW.

II Was Known and Written About Over q
Century Ago.
Newcastle (Eng.) Chronicle.1
As an article of female attire. the hustle is
apparently doomed. A marked feature of the
garden party held at Marlborough House on
Thursday is said TO have been the total dis
appearance of the cushion worn at the back of
the waist" But why this synonym? Accord
ing to Dr. Murray's mammoth English Diction-
ary, one 7. Monro. in l7S8, produced the follow
ing couplet:
Such locks the nymphs now wear in silks who
rustic,
The familiar word has, consequently literary
sanction: but despite this fact. plus the an
tiouity to which it can evidently lay claim, the
disappearance of the thing which il represents
is not likely to be regarded with any profound
feelings of regret.

Disaster Follows.
New York Evening World.J
The sights at the seashore are many and
varied, and certain Brooklyn young man Will
have reason to remember his visit to Coney
Island last Sunday.
He was in bathing with party OF friends,
some of whom were strangers in the city.
They had all been in for a long time, and were
taking final plunge before getting out The
young man made dive, and swan out from
shore to point beyond the ropes. and then
tried to see how far he could swim under water
in returning.
He went down, and when he next appeared
he was within stones throw of the shore.
When he came to the surface of the water his
eyes were filled with the briny water, and he
opened and closed them rapidly. As he did so,
however, he espied what he thought was CO.
coanut 1t flashed through his head that per-
haps vessel had been wrecked and the cargo
lost. and reaching out he made grab at the
object.
There was q little shrek, which the young
man did NOT hear, and minute later woman
about so years of age was seen making her es-
cape from the water. 1t was noticed that she
had no hair, and held her arm up over her
head. Imagine the young swimmers disgust,
though, when he saw that what he had sup
posed was cocoanut was nothing more than
an old brown wig.
