Quite a number put the mlttons on, and a good deal of sport was made for the audience. Old Izzy had a sot-to with a stranger, who, after a few rounds, made the old gent puff like a po^ poise.

Bobertstoldtbeaudlence, however, that as It was announced on the bills that he would appear, he would do so if they wished. Of course he was excused by all.

The bills for last nJght were plain, and told the truth, and there was a good attendance. I hope It win be a lesson to all boxers.
