Two tall, lithe-built men stripping Oft
their coats and vests and rolling up
their sleeves with very serious air,
while half dozen other well-dressed
gentlemen grouped about each of them,
was the novel scene that greeted the
visitors at the Exposition, as they
glanced over toward the stage, after
they had climbed up to the third
floor, at the conclusion of the
exhibition given by Capt. Boyton
in the miniature lake below. The two
men were J. c. Lindley and Prof. Le-
roux, two Minneapolis men who are ac-
counted to be adopts in the manly art of
fencing. The FrenchnIan took his stand
on the left of the stand. He had hun
dreds of admirers in the large audience
| assembled, who were ready to shout
themselves hoaSe for France and her
champion. LerOux has been student
in France, and young Lindley and
his friends did not expect to do more
than give him a good contest.
Capt. J. n. Waters, of Company |, was
the referee and managed the assault-at-
arms admirably. The contest was for
$500 and the championship of the North
, west. and when the contestants stepped
out in the middle of the platform, with
faces protected by their masks and fOils
in hand, there was manifest interest
in all the witnesses. Mayor Babb and
ladies and Manager Byron occupied
seats on the platform with the band.
The first bout was not exciting
and recorded ten points for LerOuX and
four for Lindley. in the beginning of
the second round the Frenchman
twirled the foil from young Lindley's
hama and it went flying back over his
head. His opponent picked it up and
handed it to him amidst the shouts of
the French people of the audience.
This round also closed with points 10
to in favor of LerouX. In the
third round Lindley disarmed his COM
ponent twice, but the points stood
20 to z in favor of the Frenchman.
So the score was 40 to Is in
his favor. Two bouquets were pre-
scented, one by Henry NORM, friend of
the champion, a member of lnnes'
band, and the other by George Guenette
Demeula, French lad. LerOuX quickly
| presented one of these to Lindley. who
accepted it smilingly. A party of
Frenchmen of Innes' band, in speaking
of the contestants, said that Lindley
| was a good fencer, though no match for
LerOuX. There was an attendance OF
| 1881.
To-day is Minneapolis day. and an
immense crowd will be present. The
lOg-rolling contest between the lumber
men in the big pool at o'clock p. m.
will be most amusing strife, and will
give Minneapolis people chance to see
favorite sport of the logging camps.
