AGAINST Grover on HOrnblower and
Peckham. l might phrase it a prize
lighting %vernacular. as follows:
The great contest between Sim
Dave. of Albany, and Fatty Grover, of
Buzzard's Bay, results in showing that
brains and activity has had a decided
advantage over bulk and asslnlnity.

came into he ring with great swagger
and seemed confident of knocking his
onponent out in the first round, rush
ing his man and drawing no end OF APP
ulause from the onlookers, while a cage

man affects and which were hung near
his corner, cuck0oed, tapped their
wings. and cuckooed again and again,
while the seIf-eyident smile on GroVerS
tace grew broader as he listened to
the welcome music of his favorite
bird. Now. Dave knew Grove had
been keeping company with a disrepu-
,oble woman called the Negro Queen,
and helieylng in an old democratic pro.
verb, "that when a person keeps COM
many with such characters be changes
his luck" Dave watched the over-con-
fdent smiles and rushes of his oppon-
ant with a sarcastic smile, when seeing
that the time for the first round was
drawing to an end, and hat tne
big fellow had become somewhat e&-
. hausted by his rushes, which Dave had
warily lodged, Dave changed his. tao

offensive: after a little sparring IN
