French custom. The seats sold as high
as $40 each.
The Englishmen ana geveral French
men protested against the decisionabeing
given IN favor Of Charlemont, and the
majority greeted the announcement with
with shouts Of triumph and cries of
'Fashoda."
The fnglishmen who witnessed the
fight declare 1t was most grotesqueIy

consisted OF tw0-minute rounds, with in

walking shoes and five ounce gloves were
used. The Frenchman was no match for
DriscoIl, who pounded his opponents
face to Il jelly, and fnany got him In

him, crying. out: Tie has bitten my lip
