Quite an interesting bout was held
in the school house park last evening
between two of our young sports, the
result being declared a draw. About
twenty-five or thirty of their friends
were present to enjoy the sport which
was not disturbed until the contestants
cried quits. No particular damage was
done with the exception of a broken
nose a black eye or two, a few red
spots and clothes torn. One OF the
contestants left the field without any
shirt on his back and looked quite like
a pugilist. On account of the promin-
ence of the participants the Register
refrains from publishing their names
although it was worthy of a scare head
and a position on our first page.
