I'm contests between members OF the
prize ring, there is rarely, il ever, any
loss OF life and yet prize fights are de.
nouuced by many OF those who are the
especial champions OF Foot Ball." in
which many lives have been lost, to sly

up her batteries upon foot ball, and in q
lengthy and well-written communication
in the Lexington Leader, denounces the
game as bru,alizing and less reputable

cruelty to animals. They have adopted
a badge Of German silver to be worn or
the outside OF the coat, which is thought
will add to the effectiveness OF the order
1t does not appear that the society hal
taken any steps to prevent cruelty to the
members of foot ball teams, but it may
b. that they regard those who engage IL

and hence, give their time and attention
t. objects OF more importance.
