intOXcatiOn, and took the audience by storm

his whskers leaking and his knees knocking
against each other. He managed, however to
advance as far as the forge, and there he re-
manned stationary for several minutes with his
ear reclining against the chimney, while his
thoughts wandered back 10 his only loye-the
black bottle. John could OF relish the Idea OF
match between jackson and Slayln. His "good"
friends, the majority OF whom are rum sellers
Impressed upon his mind that jackson would
surely whip Slayin. The very thought OF having
TO face a colored pugiiiSt drove John 10 hard
drink again. and now bets are being laid on the
length OF time the king OF sloggers viii remain
on the warpath. The next desperate thing Sulll-
van will do Will be 10 remove his lovely slde-fans
which have given him The only arls,ecratic
appearance he ever possessed.

LITTLE INTEREST MANIFESTED.
Although Joe Choynskiis star in the pugilIslic
armament. 1t IS strange that such little interest
Is being manifested IN The coming contest be-
