EL BANCO TERRITORIAL Y AGRlCOLA

FOUR ROUNDS AND A DRAW.
An Exciting Set.to I'm the Back Room Of o
Main-Street Office.


Two gentlemen, the one prominent In
the commercial world, ana the other
equally as prominent In railroad circles.
met in the office of a mutual friend oa
Main street yesterday afternoon, and an
argument as to their respective pugilistic
proclvities ensued. Neither was willing
to admit that the other was the better
man OF the two. and only one way of
settling the dispute presented itself. That
was an actual and ocular demonstration.
The proprietor of the office. n man
noted far and wide for the consideration
OF his friends. determined to be as con-
slderate in this case as in all others, and
calling his porter, had him bring forth
from the dark recesses Of the Office a set
OF boxing-gloves The faces of the two
belligerents blanched perceptibly as the
gloves were handed to them, but they
would rather have died than weakened,
so all hands repaired to rear room.
where, under the efiiulgence of n gas-jet,
which had no burner in Ii, but sent a
sheet of fame high above their heads.
they disrobed-tlat is, partially disrobed--
and the fun commenced.
Four rounds, all of them hot and excit-
ing ones. were fought. and some heavy
blows were landed on two faces. First
blood was awerdeed TO the commercial
man. who possessed Fitzsimmons reach,
but, nothing daunted, the raiiroader was
not at all phased by the tricklng Of the
cardinal fluid from his ofactory. and
with renewed vigor he went at his OPP
ponent. Each had the assurance OF the
other that, come what might, they would
not get mad. and they kept their word;
but they fought like tigers. and however
much the few spectators may have en-
joyed II, It Ia safe 10 predict that there
will be two men in town to-day who will
ruefuliy reflect over the follies OF Had
vised conversation. and will feel many an
ache and many pain.
The contest was a draw, and both gen.
tlemen were eminently satisfied.
