and Ai.Ltx. The fportiag fraternity will
r.'joice to learn that all tbe preliminaries
have been arranged for a prizt fight be
tween Jem Mace, f x cliampli'U of England,
und Tom Allen, another Eoclinh lighter
who has already distinguished himself In
this country by thrashing Mike McCool and
otuer American bruisers of less note. That
both men are in earnest cannot be doubted,
as 500 a side forfeit were deposited in the
bands of a stakeholder at Florenee's saloon
on Sunday night. An encounter between
huse fl rst-class fighters has been talked or
In (purling circles fir ii.me time back. Jem
Muse, when ho landed on our shores last
summer, emphatically declared that notb
Ing could induce him to reenter the Ustic
arena, and that his visit to this country wan
or tbe solo purpose of. giving sparring ex
hibition. Allen, on the other hand, has
been spoiling for a light witb Mac". Jl is
expetience out West and the shameful treat
ment he received from abandund 'iVesteru
ruffians in his fight with McCoole, Induced
him to shift bis quarters Eastward, where
sporting men, it is c'.aimed, are possessed
or some honor, lie at once nxea bis eyes
on Mnce. Allen has been boasting lately
that he could whip Jem Mnoe, and would
diiht him fur any amount not exceeding
$10,001). Mace heard of this, und at once
Uifurmed Allen that be would accept bis
Cliullengo. The fihtwill take pluco next
March, in Virgiuia, near Point Lookout,
and will doubtless create us much excite
ment as any afair of tho kind that has taken
pluce. in this country. It is already the eu.
gross a; a topic ol euuveisaim in sporting
