SCR00007.064THE LICENSED VITUALLERS' GAZETTE AND HOTEL COURIER. Despite the fallen glories of the Ring, the name of Jem Mace is sufficient still to call back memories of the past, and when he visited the show at South Kensington on Thursday week, we received such an ovation from the "cowboys" that arrangemetns were made for a special visit on Monday last, when he was to show the Champion belt of England and that of America, the latter of which he won in New Orleans from Tom Allen. Between eleven and twelve o'clock, Jem, his cousin Pooley, Lees, the Australian fistic champion, and ourselves, together with the trophies and other fistic works of art, started in a phaeton driven by the old champion for South Kensington, where we were received by Mr. Salisbury, the manager of the show, in his tent, which is opposity that of Buffalo Bill. When the cowboys could be assembled together from their multifarious duties, the prinicpal members gathered in the tent, and the box containing these reliquaries being unlocked, and the belts uncased by Pooley from their flannel jackets, they were inspected by these primitive cowboys with wonderment and awe. | SCR00007.064 |
