orthodox way of managing these matters. On
throwing themselves into position the superior
height of Price apparent. His appearance
gave evidence of his being in first rate condition.
Although not muscularly developed about the
arms and shoulders as Kelly, he was a much larger
made man about the lower extremities His posi-
ton, with his right crossed over and close to the
chest, and his left well extended and ready to use
an opening, was excellent. Kelly's attitude was
one equally adapted for attack or defence, and his
whole appearance betokened the most perfect con-
dition.


Both spared for some time, each endeavoring
to draw his opponent for opening, but without
success. Kelly laughed at his opponents efforts
and his countenance showed the greatest confidence
in his own powers. Price appeared to be equally
confident, but looked more serious. Caution ap-
peared to be the motto of both. Kelly at last let
go his right and got home the ribs, but not
heavily. Price maneuvred to get Kelly with his
eyes to the sun, but without effect. They both
then came to the scratch Price laughing and OBJ
serving that Kelly spared very well. Mutual
feinting, and at last Price got home on his left on
Kelly's cheek, Kelly counterng on the body
They clinched, and some smart fighting followed
Price getting the face and Kelly the ribs In
the struggle for the fall, which it generally an
ticipated would be gained by Kelly Price threw
him ceverly and fell upon him heavily.

blood. Kelly returned ON the ribs, and some good
exchanges followed. pause now ensued and eau
tious sparring followed. They both put down their
hands and laughed at each other. Again they got
to work, Price missing with his left, and Kelly get
