Labouchere’s Description of Scenes = Prise Fight Thirty Among my many sins I have attended & prize fight, and for the outpour of rank tlasphemy and reckless blackguardism it ran an execution: at Newgate or Horse- monger Lane jail very close. The police were dead against prize fights, which were excuses for a gigantic form of extortion. ‘Two ruffians of the lowest class contract- ed to batter one another about in order to extract the guineas from the swells, the toffs and the supporters of the “noble art of self-defense.” A program had to be secretly arranged, a special train had to be secured for the army of men, the swells about town and the scum of the metropolis, who lived upon the excitement or the pelf of prize fights. There was a certain official countenance to these illegal “mills.” The editor of Bell’s Life in Lon- don constituted himself the arbiter on these occasions. This was the organ of the prize fighter. The editor received the stakes de- posited, acted as referee and afterward described the fights in a jargon delightfully humorous. “Tapping the claret,” “One in the bread-basket,” were all phrases invented by the editors of Bell's Life. The night before it was necessary to go to a sporting pub to get “the office,” and to receive for a valuable consideration the special railway ticket. The vigil of the fight was usually spent in the “wild west,” for in those days there was no closing hour. Restaurants and public houses could keep open as long as they liked. Races were run in the Haymarket at 3 o’clock in the morning and about 4 or 6 the “swells,” all im evening dress, would assemble at the rallway station, each one in charge of a specially appointed protector. The scene at the railway station was in- describable. T! ficials scaree and the station was handed over to mob law. On the platform the pocket of every unprotected man or youth was emptied and when the train started amidst @ chorus of obscenity and blasphemy no one knew the destination. It might be a deserted chalk pit or an old quarry or a lonely wood or a river marsh. Suddenly the train would stop and away went the excursionists tramping over field and meadow. The principals were muffled up. The attendants carried the ropes and stakes and when the ring was pitched every one who had a sovereign left was fleeced to buy the colors of the favorite—a silk handkerchief that could not have cost 4 pence. I forbear to describe the hideous blas- phemy that soiled the morning air, or the mad execrations during the mill. When a champion’s eye was bunged up with a blow, hig second lanced it and then sucked it into fighting condition. I have seen many a@ brave young feilow faint at the hideous sight of a prize fight—soldiers, most of them, who would have gone to battle with- out flinching. “A rouser on the conk” ade themselves —____+e+____— ‘The Bookmakerw’ Case. District Attorrey Birney has notified counsel of President Engeman of the Ivy City Jockey Club and of Bookmaker Ben- nington and his clerks that he will call their cases for trial immediately after the conclusion of the Leon murder trial. The Leon case is set for Tuesday next, before Jadge Cole. It will likely cecupy the atten- tion of the court the rest of next we-k, so that the cases of Engemart and Bennington and his clerks will probably be called on Monday, the 2th instant. Engeman is indicted for permitting book- making to be conducted on the Ivy City track last December, and Bennington and his men stan indicted for conducting such business there at that time.

QIPTLE ROCK AND HONOR THE GOAL They Are Models as Soldiers and as Gentlemen. THEIR MILITARY RECORDS To retain the hard-earned title of cham- pion drill company of the United States is the main reason that the National Fenci- bles, who in the past have reflected honor on Washington and the District of Colum- bia National Guard, as well as themselves, are going to Little Rock, Ark. Winning first prize in the big interstate drill means the possession of $2,500 and the Galveston semi-centennial championship cup,but those are secondary considerations, Since 18v2 the capital of the United States has been the home of the champion company, that fact being due entirely to the unaided ef- forts of the well-known and energetic young men composing the Fencibles, and they fully intend at the coming competi- tion to repeat the success attained at Oma- ha in 1892. Drilling in a closed hall three hours every night, with the exception of Sundays, after attending to regular business pursuits dur- ing the day, may appear like fun, but it most certainly is not. The very hardest kind of work {is being accomplished by Capt. Domer and his men, and even should they fail to come out at the head of the list in‘ the’ Arkansas drill, nothing but praise can be uttered for the members of the team, who have discarded ail pleasures to retain the title of champions. The drill team {is one of the very best in every respect that could be secured. The members are models as soldiers and as gen- tlemen, and will most certainly reflect cred- it on the District National Guard, whether on the drill field or in a ball room. Capt. Chas. S. Domer. Capt. Charles Sumner Domer, “the best captain In the United States,” so three boards of Judges, composed of officers of the United States army, have declared him to be, was born in Selinsgrove, Pa., and is the second son of Rev. Samuel 5. Domer, pas- tor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, this city. Capt. Domer began his military career in February, 1881, by organizing the National Rifles’ Cadets, which body attained an en- viable reputation as a youthful military or- ganization. He resigned the captaincy of the cadets in 1885 and entered the National Rifles, with whom he participated in the May drill in this city in 1887, and also rep- resented the company in the individual drill, First Lieut. Lee Mosher. First Lieut. Lee Mosher, Capt. Domer’s right-hand man, is generally acceded to be one of the most popular members of the Fencibles. His friends declare that he was born just before the famous battle of Brentwood road, a friendly strife between the first and second regiments of the Dis- trict Guard, which took piace on the out- skirts of the city a year or more ago, but the lMeutenant claims Prince George’s county, Maryland, as his birthplace, and a larger figure than one to denote his age. Lieut. Mosher started military life with Capt. Do- mer in the National Rifles Cadets in 1881, serving fh all grades, from private to second lMeutenant. Later he entered the National Rifles, was a corporal and member of the drill team, and severed his connection with the older body to accept his present office, to which hé was unanimously elected at the organization of the Fencibles. As an active worker for the good of the command and as an officer Lieut. Mosher has no competitors. He ranks second among the first lieuten- ants of the guard. Lieut. Mosher also or- ganized and was first captain of the St. John’s College Cadets in this city in 1882-83. Second Lieut. W. W. Mortimer. Second Lieut. William Wright Mortimer {s a Washingtonian by birth and an expert draftsman, holding a position in the United States patent office. In 1885 Lieut. Morti- mer became a soldier, joining one of the leading military organizations of Wash- ington, but resigned to enter the Fencibles in August, 1987 as a private. He was suc- cessively elected corporal and sergeant, and in 1889 reached the rank of second lieuten- ant, and at present is the third senior sec- ond Neutenant in Gen. Ordway’s command, “Billy” Mortimer holds an unusually warm spot in the hearts of the boys. With Lieut. Mosher and Lieut. Mortimer working like clock work in command of the platoons, the Fencibles possess a team that cannot be surpassed. First Sergt. Rice. First Sergt. Robert Creighton Rice first saw the light of day fn this city, and “ds old enough to know better,” according to Capt. Domer. He also was a member of the Rifles’ Cadets, and participated in the or- ganization of the Fencibles, at which time he was elected a sergeant. Sergt. Rice has had an experience of several years in “forming the company,” and probably of all the number of non-commissioned officers of the same rank who will be encamped at Little Rock not one can be found who is able to surpass him in that lne. By pro- fession Mr. Rice is an artistic photographer, but he indignantly denies the assertion of a number of comrades that carrying plates is his specialty. Sergt. Sesstord. Second Sergeant Charles Edwin Sessford, affectionately styled “Daisy” by the boys, is a soldier clear through, and it is said there are none better than he in the uni- verse. As right guide of the company, Sergt. Sessford holds a most responsible po- sition, but never has he been known to ex- ceed by a fraction the direct, short, back or side steps a3 prescribed in tacties, and when timed it is found that he maintains perfect regularity of step. All in All, he is a wonder. Sergt. Sessford entered upon his successful military career as a member of the National Rifies’ Cadets in 1881, and is a charter member of the Fencibles, having ed | served as private, corporal and sergeant. He captured the individual drill prize peers Ape to be confident of an ac- q . Mr. Birney is equally confident of against all comers at Kansas City in 1890, has held the title of best drilled man of the company, and has also q@wme out ahead in numerous other rifle handling contests held In this city. Sergt. Tomlinson. Third Sergeant Thomas Arthur Tomlin- son ts the left guide of the team. “China” is the title generally applied to Sergeant Tomlinson by the Fencibles, but where it criginated no one scems to know. All ad- mit that the gergeant knows the duties of bis pogrition, and he stands high on the popular ist. He also was a part of the Rifles’ Cadets, later entered the Rifles, and after lending his aid in organizing the Fencibles was elected second leutenant, which position he held until business in New York made his resignation necessary. On returning to the city he again joined forces with his old comrades, and was ap- pointed a sergeant. Mr. Tomlinson has held the offics of professor of military science and tactics at St. John’s College, this city, and is chief of the stationery division of the Interior Department. Sergt. Walker. Fourth Sergeant William McRae Walker, originally first sergeant of the Fencibles, was first sergeant of the Rifles’ Cadets. He resigned from the Fencibles a year or more ago, but rejoined and was appointed a sergeant. Mr. Walker is in the employ of the Cresson Springs Hotel Company, and, much to the regret of his comrades and himself, business will prevent him saccom- panying the team on the present trip. Sergt. Crist. Fifth Sergeant William Eugene Crist ts well-known as a bicyclist and athlete, hav- ing held the bicycle championship of the United States for one year. He is also an oarsman of note. Sergeant Crist joined the Fencibles January 21, 1889, and has served as private, corporal and sergeant. He rep- resented the Brazilian government at the world’s fair, and expects to goon locate per- manently in Guatemala. Private Marry Dunn. Private Harry A. Dunn, who will act as fourth sergeant of the team, in place of Sergeant Walker, ts a soldier, every inch of him. In the National Guard he began mili- tary: life, being first sergeant of the old Logan Rifles. He did much toward organ- izing company E, High School Cadets, lo- cated at the Business High School, in the fall of 1890, and was captain of the organi- zation, which is remembered as one of the most soldierly, perfectly disciplined, and well-drilled companies in the history of the regiment. Other Members of the Team. The other members of the team, including substitutes, are J. J. Gavin, who served in the High School Cadets for three years, enlisted in the Marion Rifles October 13, 1888, was appointed sergeant in 1890 and transferred to the Fencibles in the same = John B.
