THE PRIZE FIGHT.
Tbe advent of tb representatives ottbe
"bruising" .fraternity among us, as our
reader bave been informed, wr.s ili aillzsd
by a ebaraoteristlc free Blif, tbo reticu
lars ol which bave been detailed. The
subsequent movements of the nldcra and
abettors, after leaving this city werelo
keeping with tbe brutal conduct exhibited
iq this city. Tbe train ihat bore the
champions of the ring to Collut'a e'.titiou
resembled a bedlaiin. Tbe adherents u'
Utcken and Campbell were so earnest In
their ittpport ot tbelr respect ve favorites
that on more than one occasion serious
ejoteqaeuces were apprehended. 101s
feature, so common lo the maniy exuibi
Hons termed ring ftirhts, was kept up until
the parly reacbod tbe station. '
Some delay wa exporieuced when tbe
party arrived upon tbe ground. Tbe prin
cipal were willing, anxiou to begin busi
ness, bill the backers demurred. Certain
ftrmalitiea were to be preserved. When
taete were settled, a bitch arose
concerning tbe releree, After considerable
wrangling, the parties eLlelly interested
compromised by selecting one Seddons.
Thi wasjthe signal for business. It was
noon wien tbe principals stepped Inio tbe
ring ready for tbe encounter. Despite tbe
intense cold, Ibe excitement of Ibectowd at
juncture rose to tever beat.
It i not our purpose to give tbe brutal
details tbat followed. The fighting favored
Campbell at tbe onset, but tbe tide soon
chuugetl in tavot of Ulekeo. Twenty-tour
rounds were fought, when a difficulty oc
curred between llie seconds, which tinally
r.-aulted in a general row. Campbell's sec
ends, namely, Butt Reilley and Oy Geag
(fan, raised a point that Uickeo'i seconds,
Ned O'Baldwin and Abe Smith refused to
consider. Geagban terminated the wary
encounter tbat ensued by knocking O'Bald
win down, wberenpoo one Murphy, a back
er ef Campbell's lired a pistol In tbe air,
and struck the "Giant" with it. Tbe blow
was a terrific one, but furtunately it did not
fall upon a vital spot. Tbe ' Glani" still
live lo flghl jd tun away. Here was tbe
signal ior a.geueral melee, iu which Ibe
bickers ot both patties took an scilve part.
Wben Ibe rew was quelled, tbere wa uu
disposition evincod un tbe part of the ret
eree lo render a decision. Thus tbe princi
pals bad tbeir trouble without re.chiug aoj
conclusion, further tbau to iuliict a severe
body beatiug upon each olb , Campbell
suffered the worst in the eucoiiuter Leyoud

tively little ptialsbmooi. His bo.ly did not
esoape so easily, however. In tbe iru
promptu row tbat followed ibe set tight.
