the first to appear ON the mating He wore
| knee-eaps in anticipation Of having hard
struggle with Professor Corbett, the in
structor of boxing. The contest was highly
pleasing to all but Corbett, who openly
Stated that Miehling transgressed the rules
by having his fnger-nails manlcured and
sharpened for the occasion
Il had suspicion" said Corbett, as he
gentry stroked his neck with a wet sponge
| While stating the facts, ''that this fellow
Miehling had some scheme concocted to get
| even with me. Y GU know L could not under
| the circumstances show signs of cOwardice
| in the pres nee of Mr. Harrison and all my
friends by Squealing when George sunk his
nails into my neck. He thought | would
howl like wolf, l guess, but fooled him.
Il stood the pain until time was called /;
but now don't want you TO say anything
| about this, do you see, because | will walt
my chance to get George to put on the gloves
| with me-, and then you will see some fun. L
| will take four pounds off his nose in the
| first round, and If he stands fire without
| squealing-well, I'll shake with him and pat
him on the back. Hello! Who are those fel-
| lows wrestling now ?"

| matched, aud after a prOtracted struggle
Haberly brought his opponent to terms
| The wrestling bouts finished with really
interesting contest between Professor Miehl-

| Iuerney in a recent match, is now quite ready
| to enter another contest with the young

Several impromptu boxing bouts took
| place in the department where fSticuffs are

event was a descriptive professional knock
