MAN AGAINST MORSE,
A Row on Congress Street Followed
by Lively Race.

A galloping steed. hitched to an ordinary,
everyday sort of phaeton. went flying down
Congress street last evening, shot diagonally
across the horse car tracks in front of the
Preble House, the carriage swaying violent
ly from side to side as the wheels caught in
the rails. spun around the corner, and clat-
tered away down Preble street. A man fol-
lowed, lodging between groups of pedes-
TRANS on the sidewalk, nearly overtaking
the team on its erratic course across the
tracks, and holding his own well as he fol-
lowed the carriage through Preble street.
Behind came the crowd, small boys shout
ing, dogs barking and people anxious to
know what IL was all about.
1t seems that two men had been In the
shooting gallery on Congress street, opposite
the head of Casco street, leaving their team
standing In front. After round with the
guns they quarreled, and one who had used
language not exactly complimentary to his
companion, was seized by the latter and un-
tremendously landed on the pavement out
side. The elected party. as the story was
told. jumped into the carriage, struck the
other man across the face with the whip and
dashed off. When last seen, the team, the
man in pursuit. the small boys and the dogs
were turning into Cumberland street from
Preble. The result of the race has not been
announced.
