Wednesday was the day set for; this
training and eXperience but William’s
cat-like agility was too much for him and
Crossley‘re’ceived the most punishment.
The event of the evening followed, being
the contest between O‘Donnell and Get-
tersloh. Mr. James Record of Bridge-
port, was' dbosen referee. Phil Hines
acted as second for O’Donnell and Mr.
Harkheimer performed the same 'ofi‘ices
for Gettersloh. Time. was called and the
men advancing to the centre of the ring,
shook hands. Then came. some careful
sparring, O'Donnell forcing the fight.-
Gettersloh showed the better form being
. some twenty pounds heavier than O‘Don-
nell and of stout and compact build.
O'Donnell, however, displayed the most
grace and science and proved himself
more than a match for his antagonist. , In
the first round O’Donnell delivered a
stinging‘blow full on the forehead of
Gettersloh which, aided by an unlucky
slip, brought him to the floor. The
second round opened lively, O‘Donnell
making a terrific hit which resounded all
through the hall. Quick work then
followed, till O'Donnell forced his oppon-
ent to the edge of the ring and throwing
him fell heavily on him. The third,
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
rounds were rather tame, neither men
gaining any apparent advantage. The
ninth round was the fiercest of the fight
and the contestants went round and
round the ring pummelling each other
with rapid vigor. Towards the close of the
round the men clinched and O’Donnell.
was thrown. ’ As he was rising and while
upon one hand and one knee, Gettersloh
dealt him a cowardly blow full in the
face; A cry of”“foul" was raised'and the
referee sustained it, thus giving the fight
to O’Donnell, [who Was heartily cheered.
Gettersloh is undoubtedly the finest
trained and heaviest man of the two but.
in a prolonged contest would hardly be a
match for our Norwalk boy. O'Donnell
is quick and cat-like and delivers his
blows with stunning force. The latter is
by far the prettiest boxer of the two and
demonstrated his ability to take care of
himself at all,odds. During the contest
he rcceived hardly a mark while Getter-
siob‘shead showed plainly the effects of
hard and oft-repeated punishment. in all
likelihood another contest between the
same parties will grow out of this one,
and if so Norwalk will act fail to back its
champiOn. ' x '

(Madrepora) raise their myriads of brist-
ling points, each flowered by a delicate
polyp and presenting a rich olive-green
tint; in contrast to the deep blue of the

Pureas crystal, the water seems to in-

fishes move lazily about, rising and fall-
ing among the living branches, poising,
tints as if encased in burnished armor,
while many more in modest garb, found
in our colder northern waters, call to
‘mind the robin and thrush, those wel-
come harbingers of spring. But it is not
in their color alone that the fishgs re-
semble the birds; it is in the home life
, and love of offspring that we find a close
resemblance. Many are nest-builders,
erecting structures as complicated as
those of the birds and equalling them in
design and finish.

“ JOHN GILPIN’S RIDE.”
“John Gilpin’s Ride” was composed
by Cowper somewhere about the year
1780 or 1782 and under the following cir-
cumstances, as he” told them himself:
Vhile on a visit to his friend and ad-
mirer, Lady Austen, he wins suffering
one evening from exceuive melancholy,
which her ladyship thought to relieve by
relating to him a funny story. , It was'a
story she remembered from childhood
and which she had Often related to the
little ones gathered at her house. “John
Gilpin’s Ride ” she denominated her tale,
and she went on and told it in bright,
sparkling, narrative style. Its effect: on
the fancy of Cowper was enchanting.
On ' the following morning he appeared -
at the breakfast table with a countenance
all smiles, and he told Lady Austen that
he had been kept awake half the night
by thoughts of her story and his invol-
untary bursts of laughter at the comical
scenes flashed hack upon him. And he
furthermore told her that he had resolved
to put it into a ballad, the general con-
struction of which he had already in his
mind. The ballad was written and given
to Indy Austen, and she insisted on giv-
ing it to the publisher of her favorite
newspaper. So it found its way tothe
public ; and afterwards Henderson, the
actor, recited it in his public reading.
There'have been various snrmisesasto
where Lady Austen obtained her hero.
Some have thought he was a real person-
age and have collated proof to sustain the
position, while-others have behaved him
to have been entirely fictitious— a. cron-
ture of Lady Austen’s brain, or, mayhap,
of the poet's own fancy. _

wholly of rye straw is preferable. The
boards are cut into disca'and holes in

fit the iron axle shoulder that constitutes
the hub of the wheel. Thus shaped. the
straw boards are placed one upon an-
other with ordinary fiour paste, till a pile
of them about five inches in height is at-
tained. They are then put under an by-
draulic press and squeezed together as
tightly as it is practicable to compress
matter of the consistency of straw-board.

on account of this elasticity, is computed
to be many thousands of miles greater
than that of the ordinary iron wheel.

On Thursda ' morning Officer Kemper
was notified by parties from Weston that l
a horse had been stolen from Mr. Hawley l
Williams of “that place, the previous §
night. On account of lameness the horse
made a peculiar track by which it had
been traced to' near the Greens Farms
depot where the _trail was lost., The
pnrsuers then came and notified Ofiicer
Kemper who at once started in'search of
the thief. He went down River street
and was told by Joseph Mills that a man
leading a horse was at Saugatuck, and on
inquiry further dovm he was told that the
man had gone' up the cross road but a few
minutes before. Officer Kemper kept on
and'crossed to the Norwalk road at Mr.
Hawley's where he inquired of 'some men 1
who wereat work on the telegraph line, f
and while talking withthem on looking ’
up the _road he 'saw the man coming over
the hill. Waiting until he came up
Ofileer Kemper stepped up and took the
horse by the bridle and the man bythe
coat telling hifn that he wanted the horse
and also him. The man made no resis-
tance, said “all right" and went along
without any trtlinble. He gave his name
as John Seibert and said he had never
