4AE STAR OF THE EAST.

Well, if you want to fight, come into the street, and I'll fight you.''
 It was a brave challenge, for the lad who made it was only sixteen, and weighed only about 135 pounds, while his prospective opponent was a six-foot giant, big and brawny, a porter by profession, and necessarily possessed of we'll developed muscles.
 Out into the London street they went. the big porter and the slender boy, whose jet black hair, dark, lus- trous eyes and prominent nose clear ly betrayed the Israelite. The year was 17So, when London was even more addicted to the lust of fighting than now, and a crowd quickly gath cred as the man and boy squared of in belligerent attitude.
 The quarrel had commenced in a tea store, where the young Jew, Daniel Mendoza by name, was em- p1oyed as an errand boy. The porter had contemptuously rejected the tip offered by the lad, and had demanded double the sum. Hot words followed and, when the porter threatened to administer thrashinE to the owner of the shop, little Daniel issued his brave challenge to battle.
 A ring was quickly formed in the street, and the pair went at each oth- CT in a grim fashion. For three quarters of an hour they fought, but the little Hebrew was so clever that he received scarcely a blow, and the porter was forced to give in and ad- init himself worsted.
 Among those who had happened along as the fight began was 'tGen- tleman'' Richard Humphries, who, al- though he had never fought in the ring, was the most accomplished and popular boxing instructor in all the city. The "Gentleman" was much inn pressed by the Jews fighting ability, and coached him and gave him a knee during the bout
 This circumstance altered Daniel Mendoza's whole career. He was born in Lcndon. of Spanish Jewish parents, and as a boy had been the cock of the school he attended. Al thirteen he had been apprenticed to a g1ass-cutter, but he resented the in soIance of his masters son so effec- lively that he lost his job, and be- came an errand boy for the tea mer- chant in whose behalf he fought the battle with the big porter.
 Humphries was so well pleased with

 'The Star of the East" as Men doza was called, was the first Hebrew to take up pugiltsm as a profession, although even after his victory aver Martin he followed the trade of @ b1scuit-maller and other occupat1ons before he was able to make his HV- ing with his fists. In 17ss Mendoza fought his enemy, Hunphriesg~ but an accident deprived him of the vic tory. Daniel had all the best of the milling, but slipped on the wet turf and wrenched his ankle so badly that he could not stand. They soon fought again, and this time the ''GentIenan'- took so much punishment that he de- liberately quit. In a third contest with HUmphries, Mendoza totally outclassed his enemy. and completed his revenge for past insults by stop ping the "Gentleman' in fifteen min utes.
 hundreds of Jews who have attained to pugilistic fame was replete with romantic incidents and adventures On one occasion Mendoza was thrown into Kings Bench prison for debt and spent four years in that resort so graphically described by Charles Dickens By turns he was an actor, a snowman, and a publican, as well as an instructor in boxing His ca reer as champion aroused the pugf- 1Stfc arQOr DT the English Jews, and he soon had scores of his race seek ing to emulate his example. He gain ed his last victory in IS06, when he defeated Harry Lee, although he was then forty-two years old For many. years after his retirement the black haired old Hebrew was a prOmin ent figure in pugilistic circles, and often acted as trainer and second to young battlers. He died in 1S96. at the ripe old age of seventy-three,
 On one occasiCn,s when the Star Of the East was acting as a boxing tn- structor in Dublin, an Irish gentle
 man who had a wide reputation as an amateur fighter challenged Men doza to battle. The Hibernian was a. giant in stature. and he had scant regard for the reputation of the slender Hebrew, and thought he could easily vanquish. him. Mendoza was content with blocking his opponents . wild blows, and did not attempt 60 fight back, until the Irisnman, ez5- asperated by his tactics, let loose a remark refIecting upon all Jews in general and Mendoza in particular. Daniel was a staunch defender of his people, and the insult had no sooner left the lips of the Irishnnan- than tney were cramned down his throat by Mendoza's fist. The Hiberntau took an awful sIashing and at length ''hoI- Tered 'nough.' apoIogtzed to Mendoza for his offensive language, and Hebrews staunch est patrons.
