A SUGGESTION.
TO TUB BDITOB OP TUB STAB, SrR, — Ab there appears to be a Job of badblooded people in this citj who rather fancy themselves at single stiok, or double stick — when thcro is none on tho other Bide— would it not bo a great addition to the attraction o£ tho sports on New Year's Day to let ench characters loose for a brief quarter of an hour in the arena at the Park with a littla bit of a etick in thoir hands, just to Bee what they couli do when fairly opposed man to man. My impression is that a great thing could be done in a variety of wave if this idea was properly carried out. In the first place, some people I wot of would get a few hard knocks that possibly might do them good ; a special fund might be got up to assist those hut yesterday, and an immense number of people would ba inten*el/ gratified. Trusting this will receive attention— l am. youn, &c, A LOVKR OF FAIR PLAY.
