landed fairly aud squarely on Aitcheii's

his seconds ran over and bore him to his
corner, and with the cheers OF thousands

ness and completeness with which all his
hopes had been blasted.
The crow remained long enough to see
Mitchell borne to his corner. While the
fallen gladiator Was receiving consolation

Moore, his father-in-law, Corbest was be-
ing surrounded and crushed by friends,

he entered the ring. made his
