Glue Tbit Ebat Golbg ..0F 1bow ll5rie5tIQ JBtutua, alias the 1bagerstown llbugilist, was 1RnocheD wut by Ilbagruocr, tbc Ilbgstcrious 'Unknown from Zlustralia, in wne 1RounD. .T.,l.,i A SKETCH BY L. c. Bom-IM, '97. HE friendly sun which at noonday was directly in the zenith, had begun to sneak off toward the glow- ing occident, like a thief hiding behind a grocery box. All nature was hushed, when, beaming with radiance and a new cravat, his face brightly illuminated with inborn satisfaction, Magruder, the Mysterious Unknown from Australia, emerged from the sacred precincts of Pinkney. But who should meet him face to face and eye to eye, with threatening air and doubled fist, like one of Smith's cream puffs in a bag-Priestly Brutus, alias the Hagers- town Pugilist. Priestly Brutus glared about him like does the noble Lunis when on the war path for a St. Iohn's College girl. Each had his backers, and chips were placed upon the manly shoulder of each participant. Magruder Qetcj grappled Brutus -Qetcj in his sinevvy arms, on which the muscles stood out like the wrinkles on Deavor's face when he says prayers in Chapel 3 he grappled him, and bearing him aloft, he heaved him for I to throw, and exerting a power such as two could scarcely wield in these degenerate days, then tliundering through the slush with forceful sway he drives the noble Brutus down. O how are the mighty fallen! Up rose Priestly Brutus. Regardless, furious, he p.n'sues his way. He foams, he roars, he curses loud and deep, and like a vanquished bull he looses self-control, and-two buttons from tl1e back of his trousers. The humane seconds, always ready to stop 1na11fully a fight, after seeing the better part of it, now interfered and separated the bclligerents. Brutus arose, his eyes hlled with bitter and briny- mud, yet proud in his defeat, stalked niajestically from the field, to hide- O woeful spectacle, 0 piteous sight ! -a rent in his pants. He deigns to turn upon his heel and cast these words between his teeth: Mac Thompson, you rube, you have niggered on me. Henceforth we meet as strangers. H
