Bat yesterday two champions adorned the

Now one sits proudly there alone. and .
has gone to grass.
The joint debate hat ragged between the
Kangaroo and Celt
IL DER. and Corbett's pompadour adorns
Fitzsimmons' belt.
These literary gentlemen for battle fierce
arose,
For they had quite run out Of words, and
so must come 70 blows.
The world. impatient. knows the worst
how Corbest lost the trick
For breathlessly IL stood to wait the tsls-
graphs sad tick.
The dokle world that yesterday Was low

Now halls Fitzsimmons - the man who
owns both sides the street.
But think not. weary sufferers, they'll
rest with victory won
Full forty columns they'll require 70 tell
how IL was done,
And later on thess talents high their forces
will engage
To rake in coin and nobly try to elevate
the stage.
