ITALY DEFEATS SICILY.
Notable Fencing Contest Which Stirred
the italian ~Neighb0rhoOds.

inc Iteilnn Nei8HUOfffOOub.
The fencing contest between the cham.
pion Of Italy and Hungary and the cham
pion Of Sicily for the championship belt Of
Greater New York, on which Tony and Joe
and Pietro have been betting all their small
change for days, took place in Liederkranz
Hall, 1854 Manhattan avenue, Williamsburg,
last night, when the Italian walked off the
platform with the Sicilian's scalp on his
foil. He also carried of the 500 stakes.
The victory of Giovanni Bartoli, the
Italian champion. wasn't unexpected be-
cause, before the excitement began, hand
bills were scattered around the neighbor-
hood making the modest announcement
that 'the Italian and Hungarian champion
is rewarded with fourteen golden medals
and a diploma of His Royal Majesty, the
Prince OF Naples. now the King Of Italy.
He will affirm also here in America his
superiority and is at the disposal Of any
superior in even one stroke will receive
500 in reward"
This statement of the Italians prowess
wasn't calculated to strengthen the Sicil-
ian's nerve, and there was little betting
on him when the fenoers went to the post.
decision Of Alcide Bartoli, a Williamsburg
fencing teacher, to bring the Sioilian cham
pion, Giovanni Sciortino. down a few pegs.
Sciortino's boasting had become tiresome
in the neighborhood. The hall was jammed
when the men mounted the platform in
the centre. Some of the Italians were in
evening dress, but most OF them were in
shirt sleeves.
The crowd was roofing for Sciortino,
because they didn't want to see a man
who only landed six days ago walk of with
the fencing pennant before he had even
applied for his first citizenship papers.
Sciortino did his best, but every time he
lunged the Italian was waiting for him.
Once the Sicilian sent the Italians foil
spinning across the heads Of ty crowd,
whereat they almost raised the roof. Finally
after the antagonists had gone at each other
30 fercely that some Of the witnesses were
certain there would be a second duel with
real swords after the championship had
been decided, the Italian worked his master
stroke and landed his foil at the base Of
the Sicilian's spinal column.
The Sicilian cried "A touch" the italian
kissed him on the left cheek and then on
the right. and the championship fencing
bout was over.
