Good News, v. 11, no. 270, July 6, 1895 (Issue) |
| Date: |
July 6, 1895 |
| First Sentence: |
Should any boy reader of GOOD News ever go to the old city of Strassburg in the summer time, he may perhaps be lucky enough to see a new kind of outdoor sport; and if he does not find it exciting, and does not dream of introducing it in America when he returns, he will be a queer boy. |
| Last Sentence: |
He caught the tip of his opponent's lance fairly on the tip of his own, seemed to stiffen his left arm an instant, and the other fellow went over like a nine-pin, while the crowd roared with laughter, shouted all sorts of congratulations in mongrel French and Strassburg German, and chaffed the discomfited combatant so thoroughly when he came to the surface again that he looked as if he would have preferred to stay at the bottom for the rest of his days. |
