museum in the vicinity of Broadway
and Thirtieth street, was airing a mann
moth Siberian bloodhound along Broad
way at 10 O'Clock yesterday mornin g
says the New York World. The animal
stands fully three feet high and weighs
$50 pounds. He is one of the largest
animals of his breed ever imported to
this country,
For the last few weeks he has been
receiving the admiration of the museum
audiences, and when out on parade on
Broadway caused quite ripple of ex-
element. He has been the king among
dogs on Broadway since his arrival, but
there was another dog called Dandy,
the property of Howard Moody, of ~
West Thirtieth street. who disputed the
bloodhound's right to the throne of
great dogdom. King Dandy has reigned
absolute for six years OH Broadway, and
every actor that walks the Rialto knows
and admires him.
King Dandy took an airing yesterday
about the same hour as the Siberian
usurper. He was led by strap in the
hand of one of Mr.. Moody's assistants.
The 250-pound dog was free and the
moment be saw Dandy he made a great
leap for him. Dandy saw him coming
and his good bulldos blood boiled with
indignation.
The two dogs met in trench in the
middle Of Broadway and directly oppo-
site Palmer'S theater entrance. Half a
dozen men, including the two guardians
of the kings of Broadway dogdom, who
were frightened out of their wits,
made d rush for the battling beasts.
Scores of people rushed to the scene,
attracted by the deep baying of the
bloodhound and the short, loud banks
of the bulldog Dandy. In ten minutes,
as the fight progressed, more than 1000
people were witnessing one of the great
est dog fights on record. Policeman
Fahey. of Capt. Reilly's precinct, as
sisted by nearly dozen men, attempted
to separate the dogs. They wasted
their time for fully half an hour.
A World reporter viewed the battle
from PalIner's theater steps, and kept
an accurate tab on the fight. He found
that through the interference of Police
man Fahey and his assistants the battle
between the two kings of dogdom was
broken up in fifteen rounds. The mo-
ment the dogs were separated one or
the other would break away and seize
his opponent.
Round One-King Dandy saw his an
tagonist, the big Siberian, coming with
mouth wide open. Dandy jumped to
one side and slipped his collar over his
head. He then stood on the defensive
in the trench. The Siberian bloodhound
opened wide his mouth and grabbed
Dandy by the neck. He nearly took in
head and all, but Dandy, by a quick
movement, escaped and seiZed the ST.
berian by the hind leg. He bit into the
muscles and a great howl of pain went
up from his victim. Policeman Fahey
arrived and began using his club on the
big dog. The crowd cheered and there
were great cries of encouragement for
King Dandy.
go it, Dandy. old boy. You will do
him, sure. Give King Dandy a
chance"
The crowd went wild with enthu-
slasm, and when the dogs got at each
other for the second round Broadway
was blocked.
The actors predominated, and as
Dandy was great favorte in the pro-
feSSiOn bets were waged and money
quickly changed hands. Despite the
great difference in size between the
combatants King Dandy was the favor
lite. Heavy odds were laid against Mr..
Moody's famous striped bulldog. Two
more policemen came on the scene at
the second round between the dog kings
of upper Broadway. They tried to club
the dogs apart, but were afraid of being
bitten. Policeman Mulcahey, of the
nerve by catching the big Siberian by
the collar. In second he was fiat on
his back in the trench, making eX-
CARNATIONS unknown outside of the
famous Tenderloin precinct of the great
metropolis. Policeman Fahey drew his
revolver, as the Siberian bloodhound
had gone mad and was chewing King
Dandy in approved Blocker street
style.
PUT up your gun! don't shootr'
cried hundred people in 4he crowd.
Give the dogs a chance. Go it
Randy" yelled the enthusiastic admir-
ers of the plucky bulldog.
The third round was opened by King
Dandy catching his big opponent by
the ear. Dandy was never known to
let go once he had a fair hold in the
battle.
20, amt this rich," shouted the
actors and early Broadway prone
naders. That Siberian is dead and he
don't know it.
Just then Policeman Fancy dealt the
big dog resounding whack on the
head. The brute let go his hold on
King Dandy's neck. The bulldog had
his opportunity. He grabbed one of
the foreIegs of his 25O-pound
opponent. and the way he
chewed and crunched on the
muscles set the crowd bowling. An
other well-directed blow from the DO
liceman's cluD separated the dogs. Both
were covered with blood and they bore
ugly wounds. A hundred guests of the
new Hotel Imperial witnessed the great
battle between the kings of Broadway
dOgdom.
The fourth, fifth and sixth rounds
were made up principally of snaps and
howls. Every one was afraid of The big
dog, and the policeman d idn't care to
shoot for tear of hitting some one In the
crowd.
From the sixth to the twelfth rounds
there was tremendous excitement in the
crowd that blocked the street. Dandy,
small as he was in comparison with the
big bloodhound, was getting the best of
the battle; ana such battlel The
early rising sports out from the st.
James for their constitutional went wild
with excitement. They all declared
they had never before witnessed such a
terrific, dead earnest dog fight. They
capped their hands and yelled at the
dogs words of encouragement.
You people stop that or We'll clear
the street," cried the policemen.
''Sic, sic, sic, there, Dandy"
go it, you big brute-you're not in
the race, why don't you chew him up"
shouted the adherents of the blood
