John L. Sullivan net with an
unexpected and inglorious expe-
rience while in Chicago. He was
knocked oat for the first time
since he entered^the slagging
arena, and his defeat was none
the less mortifying to the cham-
pion because not administered
by one of his own color. The
conquest was made Saturday
night at the Tretnont House, aud
although it was witnessed by
several people. The "pet" and
his friends were standing before
th« bar, one of the colored men
employed in the house-came to
the bar in answer to the bai-
teiider's bell. When he had
been charged with his mission
and was aboat to start away,the
colored gentleman espied the
"pet," and his cariosity to see
him closer sa for prevailed that
he flamed an ingenious excuse
to say something to the bar
keeper while he took la tbe
sluggers elegant proportions.
The look of awe with which he
regarded him attracted the at
tent ion of Mr. Taylor, who at
once called Mr. Sullivan's atten-
tion to him. The ''pet" regard-
ed the "boy" foT an instant^and,
saying to his friends, "watch
tbe guy," approached the awe
stricken colored man and said:
"What are you looking a! P
The tone in which he directed
the inquiry was so fierce that
tbe "boy" retired in terror. Sul
livan caught him bv tbe sboul
ders and lifted him upas he
would a baby; then be laid
him on his back, to the greater
terror of the waiter, who really
Relieved the champion intended
to slaughter him then aud there.
Tbe "petM pi *yed with the dar-
key in an affectionate manner,
when by some means orother,
the darkey got an under bold
on the champion In a twink
ing Sullivan was in th« air, and
the next moment he was lying
prone upon his back with his
shoulders touching tbe ties.
The acti<& was so sodden and
unexpected that the champion
lay still for an instant. Not so
the negro. Though frightened
before, he was now thauder
struck. His face assumed an
ashen hue. and his frame trem-
bled visibly. He no doubt
thought Sullivan had ampleJis
tificatlon for any act of violence,
even murder, for he rushed for
the Dear on street door, and
oat into the street. Tbe cham-
pion arose from the floor aud
shook himself He made no ef-
for to conceal that be was very
much chagrined. The other
"boys" consoled bim with all
manner of remarks, and In a
moment the champion's clouded
ace relaxed and assumed his
oriner good humor. The
mocklng-oat now forms a pro-
ific source of fan for the boys,
and the champion will probably
a the future be more guarded
in his manner of guying.
A Strange Battle.
In tbe life of Bishop N f wton
the following story is told :
At the court of Frederick li-
king of Prussia, a ,bat tie of wild
beasts was exhibited for tbe en
tertainment of the l>uke ofj
Marlborough. A trooper's horse
and a bull were turned into the
ring, or grassy closed place, and
then were let loose on them, all
at onoe, a lion,'a tiger, a bear
and a wolf, which had all been
without food for several days,
that they might be tbe more fe-
rocious. The tiger crawled
stealthily up to the bull, and
springing upon his back brought
him to the groaad. The other
wild beasts all sprang upon him
fighting with each other for bin
possession. The wolf aud the
tiger Were SoOn killed. The
lion then attacked the bear, bit-
ing and scratching him fero-
ciously, bat as the animal had
a very thick fuf no vital part
was' reached. At length the
bear caught the lion in his arms,
and giving him a deadly hug,
soon squeezed the life oat of his
body. All this time tbe horse,
an old cavalry hack accustomed
to conflicts, was quietly grazing
as if he bad no part in the fight.
Tbe bear, as soon as he bad fin
isbed the lion, taroed fiercely
upon the horse. Tbe latter put
back his ears and gave him a
violent kick in the libs, which
only provoked bruin to a second
onslaught The horse was ready
for him, and as be approached
kicked with both hind feet,
striding the bear oh the head,
breaking both jaws and crush
lug in bis skull, leaving him
dead UDon the ground. Thus
the horse, although he really
fought bat one of the animals,
was the sole surviyor of tbe five,
and remained master of tbe
field.
