A BRUTAL EXHIBITION.

Why is it that the average man takes
more interest in a prize fight than in al
most any other event? During the pro-
gress of an important prize fight inqul-
ries come 10 the newspaper offices as
thick and fast over the telephone wires
as they do when the returns OF PreSl-
Dental election are coming in, and often
from men whom one would not suspect
of taking an interest in such things.
Are we essentially brutal in our ma
ture? II would seem so. We warrant
that no item in the newspapers OF yes
terday was so carefully, thoroughly and
so greedily read as the account OF the
fight between KILRAIN and SLAvIN,
disgusting and sickening though the de-
tails Of the bloody contest were
It was the aim of the Australian
pugilist TO "knock his man OUT
within ten rounds, or, in ordinary Eng
HSb. TO so bruiSe and beat him in that
time as TO render him unaole 10 "dIA W
the centre OF the ring. The work was
done in nine rounds, at the end of which
the American slugger had to be carried
10 his corner" sickening mass OF
blood and bruises, received from the
hard gloves of the powerful Australian.
Though a heavier man, KIIRAIN was
little more than toy in the Autralian'S
hands, a "chopping block" to test
whether or not he could stand SLAvIN'S
sledge-hammer blows for the ten rounds.
And this was the brutal and bloody
spectacle, the description Of which half
of civilized mankind impatiently waited
for and eagerly read in yesterdays news
papers.
