A HISTORICAL MYTH.
The story of JactxsOn's Cotton-Bale
Breastworks a Fiction.


BreastwOrks Fiction.
Boston Herald.
There are few of the school boys of
several generations preceding the present
who do not remember being taught that
General jackson won the battle of New
Orleans by throwing up breastwork of
cotton bales and meeting the British as
sault behind them.
A dramatic account of this was in all
the school histories and several others.
and the novelty of the affair appealed
wildly to the imagination. The cold facts
of later history prove this all to have been
fiction. Henry Adams. in his history of
tie of New Orleans and mentions no such
feature. MeMaster. in his latest volume,
refers to the story in note only to say
there were two or three cotton bales used
fire or knocked out at once.
Jackson's line of breastworks was OF
earth irregularly thrown up and of vary
ing height along its length. The trained
sharpshooters of the West did great work
as marksmen behind t and SO CALLED the
no alternative but to be shot or retreat
before the American line.
The scLool-book story used to be that
the Americans lost six killed and seven
killed and wounded at seventy. The Brit
ism, it seems, were not all repulsed ac-
cordng to the popular story. The right
line of the American troops was driven
in and the British left advanced a mile
in the rear of jackson on the way to New
Orleans
He was really flanked by this success,
but the terrible slaughter he inflicted upon
the British in the center, involving the
death of the first and second generals in
command, completely dispirited them and
induced the return of that wing of their
army that was on the way to the city.

BOXING CONTESTS.
Jack Wilkes Defeated by "Ixid" Nc
Coy I'm -Four Minutes.

y
Coy I'm Four Minutes.
NEW YORK, April 19.-About four hun
dred people attended the boxing events at
the Suffolk Athletic Club room, on West
Newton street, tonight. The principal bout
of the evening was a ffteen-round bout
between Charles kid" Mccoy. OF Mem
phis, Tenn, and Jack Wilkes. OF st. Louis.
Wilkes was defeated in about four minutes
of actual fighting. Patsy Haley, of Buffalo,
N Y, and Joe Elms, colored, of Chelsea,
fought fifteen rounds to draw, and the
battle between Eddy Connolly, of ST. John,
and Isle Pierce, of Philadelphia, also end
ed in draw after fifteen rounds. OF the
two principals Mccoy was not in the best
condition, but, Notwithstanding this he
made Wilkes's face very much resemble
raw steak in about thirty seconds after the
fighting began, and the ring of the gong
ter of the second round. When time was
again called Mccoy had his man at his
mercy, and referee Williams quickly sent
Wilkes to his corner and declared Mccoy
winner just in time TO prevent police inter-
ference. During the whole affair Wilkes
did not strike what could properly be called
a blow.
Connolly and Pierce furnished curtain
raiser The men weighed 127 pounds Both
four rounds Pierce had apparently the bet
ter end of the bout. After that he be-
came weary, and referee BroolSss decision
of draw was Kissed by large ST. John
contingent as unfair. All others, however,
called the veterans edict a fair one.

Bouts at Boston.

BOSTON, April 19.-Thousands of persons
saw three excellent boxing contestslat the
Farragut Club tonight. The principal
event was the contest for the middle
weight championship of New England be-
tween Dick O'Brien, of Lewiston, Me-. and
Bobby Dobbs of Boston. 1t was scheduled
for twenty-five rounds, but after eighteen
terrific rounds, during which O'Brien
f1oored Dobbs a dozen times, referee Capt.
William Daley. jr., awarded the contest to
O'Brien.
The contest between young Starlight, of
Australia. and .Muldoon'S Pickaninny'' was
one of the star events of the night, and
when it ended, in the ninth round, the de-
cision was in favor of the "Pickaninny."
Both stripped at 1913 pounds, and for five
rounds honors were about evenly divided.
The "Pickaninny," however, pushed his OPP
ponent so hard in the subsequent rounds
that Starlight began to use his head upon
the ''Pickaninny," and, by clinging to him,
endeavored to save himself. In the ninth
round Starlight deliberately punched his
head into the "Pickaninny's stomach, near
ly knocking the latter out. Starlight was
fcored repeatedly, and at the end of the
ninth round chung to HIS opponents neck
to save himself from being knocked out.
Doc O'Connor, who refereed this bout,
awarded the contest to the Pickaninny, and
Starlight was Missed as he left the ring.
