sensation in Washington nor in the inner
political and financial circles of the larger

Both ends Of local sporting society were
gratified last night by the unhindered COM
ing off of several pugilistic contests Of such
a sanguinary nature as to delight even the
most blase among the spectators. The
bloodiest took place in the gymnasium of
the Columbia Athletic Club in the presence
of numerous good citizens; the outside con-
test, for the benefit of the undisguisedly
rough element, occurred beyond the Dis
trict line and under the open sky. Another
incidental and immaterial difference was
that the clubs fighters were white, while
the other combatants were negroes. 1t is
not very clear why the latter should con-
slider it necessary to take all the trouble of
leaving the Districts Jurisdiction before
venturing to fight.
