Sir Thomas Malory devotes most of his book to Merlin, Lancelot, the Sangreal, and Guinevere. The two histories coincide only in regard to the birth of Arthur, the Roman Expedition, and the final battle; the first is almost entirely the life of Arthur alone, and in the second Lancelot is the chief figure, and more prominence is given to other knights of the Round Table and the search for the Sangreal...

After a few partially successful movements on each side, they closed, and Mr. Reeves endeavored to get Mr. Seymour's head in chancery; but the latter, on account of his superior strength, succeeded in freeing himself. At last the judges decided in favor of Mr. Seymour. The final bout between Messrs. Seymour and Morgan then began, with great interest on the part of the spectators. Both contestants were excellent boxers, but Mr. Seymour labored under the disadvantage of being still somewhat blown by his preceding contest with Mr. Reeves, and Mr. Morgan succeeded in getting in several hard...
