Text | [Atlantic vs. Newark 8/5/1861] When the Atlantics arrived on the ground, they were the “observed of all observers,” especially the juveniles, among whom a report gathered ground that John C. Heenan was among them, and some one pointed out Mr. A. Babcock, of the Atlantic club, as the noted pugilistic champion, whereupon that modest volunteer had to seek shelter faster than he did at Bull Run, and that, they say, was done in 2:00 time. |
