TO EAT A CAT.
A Novel Way to Decide a Bet on the
Great Fight.
durham Sum-

Durham Sum-
A novel bet on the Fitzsimmons- Cor
bett fight will be settled tomorrow night.
Several days ago w. l.. Wright and
w. r. Holmon, colored men, made a bet
ON the result of the fight. The conditions
of the bet, as we learn them, were as fol-
lows:
Wright's favorite man was Fitzsim-
monsmons, and Holman's Corbett. If
Corbett won the fight, Wright was to eat
a baked cat. If Fitz won, Holmon was to
do the eating.
Now that the fight is over and FitZ-
simmons was the victor, Holmon will
have to eat the cat. This he will do with
out fail.
This most wonderful and novel way of
deciding the bet will take place in the
old Wilkerson warehouse, on Parrish
street tomorrow night. Nine o'clock will
be about the hour. An admission fee of
ten cents will be charged, and there will
be a large crowd of spectators present.
l.. A. Henderson will act as referee,
and Sc that the job is done well.
A large Thomas cat has already been
prdcured and is now being fattened
ready for the occasion, and will be
baked brown.
The eating contest will certainly come
off tomorrow night. There's not the
least doubt of that. If you wish to see
Holman eat the cat and then smack his
mouth over it, go around to the Wilker-
son warehouse tomorrow night. It will
be worth seeing.

gracefully raised his hat and feathers,
and made a stately and dignifed bow to
the large crowd on the wharf. Just
then, some one cried out, "Three cheers

with enthusiasm and vim. Dr. Warren,

wharf, and with loud and musical voice,
