I Partlculxum of the Degrading- Exhibi tion in St. Louiu. The fight between "Patsy Brennan," the prize-fighter, and the Siberian blood hound, was one of the most degrading spectacles ever witnessed. The dog was of the very largest breed, resembling more a calf in size than a dog, and its muscles were as hard as iron. It seem ed to be nothing but muscle. Its head and face were the most repulsive that were ever earned by a dog. The tooK place in an oia stable, ana amo the spectators were an ex-police missioner, ex-judge, three membe uie xiouse or ueiegates, a very pro nent physician and several busin men. Brennan stripped to the waist. The owner of the doe had much diffi culty in holding the Siberian until time was called, and then with a vicious "Seek him, Tige," the bloodhound was released and leaped straight for the throat of the prize-fighter, who sprang to one side ana dealt the dog a tern ble body blow as he went by, turning him completely in the air and making nge come down heavily upon his oack The next second he was in his trainer's hands, and the betting became furious One gentleman, a member of the House, w iLum mree minutes naa put up ovei $700 on the doe even, and odds either way were eagerly snatched up. The referee again called time, and in this round Brennan lost his luck. Tiger. made more cautious by his first rude re buff, circled round and round his hu man antagonist, snarling horribly and apparently gulping down nis rage, lie made several feints, but Brennan was watching him too closely to be thrown off his guard. All this time the crowd in the barn were almost frantic with excitement, yelling at their favorites and encouraging hound and man b every expedient they cpuld think o At last the dog got within three feet of ratsy ana made nis spring. He was met by a terrible blow straight from the shoulder, which made the blood fly from his nose and mouth, but he was too close to be evaded, and in the same in stant his teeth ground into the shoulder of his human antagonist, and, borne backward by the weight, Brennan sank slowly to the floor, his face drawn and white with pain, but with a scowl on his brow that meant mischief. The blood gushed from his mangled shoulder and almost as soon as he was fairly on the ground he trot both his hands into Tiger's mouth and tugged at the closing jaws. He had to take a second grin cneosmgtne long lips of his enemy this time and tearing them badly before the hound released his hold, and both the fighters, were .taken from each other by their friends. The man was badly in jured. The collar-bone was already bare and the laceration of the shoulder was simply horrible. The dos was com paratively as badly injured. One of his long lips was so badly torn that it hung down several inches, and three- of bis teeth had been broken by the blow he got in the face. He was just as plucky as the man, however, and when he was loosed again came forward readily. This time Brennan was successful. He caught the dog by the neclc and kicked the life out of him. As soon as he was declared victor Brennan fainted from the pain in his shoulder and side, which he had held down by his unconquerable plucky and raedicar assistance "was at once got for him. The. fight began a little after 10 o'clock, and at 11 the party began to disperse. ; . The New Administration in New York Gov. Cornell, of New York, was for mally inaugurated at Albany yesterday, and the occasion gave rise to mutual good wishes and compliments between the retiring and the incoming governor. Nothing could have been more truth fully or handsomely said than t the tri bute paid by Got. Cornell to Gov. Rob Inson, who, he said, had vigorously an fearlessly exercised his official preroga tives, and given his administration high rank with those which, had, preceded it," Gov. Cornell then added that for a long time it had1 seemed to him that we were quick to nna iauit witn pur lic men, but careless in expressing ap nreciation of faithful service; and that perhaps more discrimination in this re-, gard would contrfbuteuifee as much to elevate our puouc service as some reme- 'i i i M flfATE NEWS.
