CITY BRIEFS From Saturday's Daily.

s Much Interest in Fight. . Virginia members of the Loyal Order of Moose are much interested in the badger fight which is to be staged at Moose hall for Moose only next week.

It is staged for Moose only. The badger will arrive Monday and is famous over northern Wisconsin where he has had several engage­ments. He is in the pink of condition. The dog is also in fine fettle and we shall see that the exhibition does not go too far. Any contest of this kind is bound to have its thrills, but this is strictly a Moose affair and we shall observe the proper discipline and ar­rangements in staging it."
