PUGILISTS' A%VOCATIONS.

Prize-fghting never took high rank as
an amusement for fir people, and
the 'smanly art" as exemplifed in the
prize ring has always been looked upon
as a debasing spectacle. But despite
their brutal characteristics, prfze-fights
have been pa%tronized ITO some extent by
men who were neither rudflanS nor fight
ers, who excused themselves for counte-
nancing and encouraging the contests by
saying that the sport was scientific. Ring
contests with bare knuckles became pop
in England more than two centuries
ago, and men with ambitions to excel in
the roped ring gave exhibitions of their
knowledge of the art of self-defense In
the early days of the republic, butt it was
not until early in the ffties that the
sporting element of the country became
deeply interested in ring fights. Tom
Hyer, Tom Sayers, John c. Heenan,
Carney Aaron, John Morrissey and a
host of other fighters appeared in the
prize ring.
They became popular heroes with q
part Of the community, and in the far
west, particularly California, they were
lionized. Hats, collars and other articles
of mems wearing apparel We're named for
them. eenan hats and Sayres collars
were popular at the time when thsee

rude benches were put up to accommo-
date the people who came from near n
far to witness the contests. Ill

In the early day, of the prize ring the
fighters ambition was to win prizes and
then become the proprietor of a public
house. John Morrissey's bar-room In
Troy was the c~ongregating place for a
long time of the fighting element of the
country, and a favorfte resort for gam
