Adam, like most Of our modern

SEYMOUR IS ANGRY.

The residents of Seymour are still talking of the fight which took place In the vile a week ago and the select men have decided that no more will be allowed there. In the first place the citizens assert that the afrair was prize fight, and, secondly. claim that the gloves used were only four ounces instead of six. The residents of Seymour are shocked to think that fight which could not be held in this city could be pulled off in their town. The original permits allowed boxing bouts at smokers, but these are liable to be abolished now. But as far as is known the selectmen have no kick coming. They saw and felt the gloves. took look at the fighters and did not perceive any dis orderly conduct during the fight, which was not a bit brutal. Never theless the boxing game seems to be dead in Seymour and Manager Folk ems will have to get new field for his bouts.
