VERY LIVELY WIND UP.
Game of Foot Ball at Park Place Ends in
a Fight.

An exciting game of foot ball was con-
tested by the North End Crescents and
the Park Place club yesterday afternoon
on the ground of the latter. The game
lasted seventy minutes and resulted in
a victory for the Crescents, the score
being "a to 0.
AS soon as the game concluded mat
ters assumed more lively aspect
among the 200 spectators who had
shouted themselves hoarse in support
ing their favorite team, and after some
indelicate language was hurled at each
other, an open fight ensued. Fists were
used at first, but soon the battle waged
warmer, when sticks and clubs were
freely used and finally stones were re-
sorted to.
Several emerged from the fray with
altered physiogs and will bear for some
time memoir of the memorable
Thanksgiving game at Park Place.
