4 THE PRIZE RING. Fight Between Dooney Harris aud Tommy Chandler, in California. ~~ A Short, Sharp and Decisive Encounter, Chandler the Victor in Twenty-three Rounds--- Time, Twenty-seven Minutes. HARRIS TERRIBLY PUNISHED. de. ae, de. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE QF THE HERALO. San Francisco, April 13, 1867. ‘The disappointment on Thursday last, when the Sheriff of San Mateo county interfered and stopped the long expected mill between the California Pet, Tommy Chandler, and the celebrated Englishman “Dooney” Rarris, did not abate in the least the anxiety to have it come off; and as it had to be fought within forty-eignt hours afterwards, all was expectation as to the timé and place, Yesterday it was announced that it would be to- day, and that the spot selected was in the vicinity of Saucelito, across the Golden Gate, in Marin county; and at ten o'clock last evening the official notice came to me that I must be om hand at ten o'clock, at Pacific street wharf, if I desired to report the fam. As it was my duty to do so, I was not far off when the time came; and, when the steamer Goliah made fast to the wharf, it took but a moment to get on board and pick a locality suitable for comfort and taking notes, The wharf was crowded with men of all classes and all bound upon the same errand; and it took but few minutes to fill the decks of our steamer comfortably full, when we backed out from the wharf into the stream, After getting our head pointed down the bay the ongine was started, and as the steamer gathered way the helm ‘was put to starboard, and we went round and headed up the bay ia the direction of Alcatraz Island, As it was not deomed best to be far ahead of the others, we slowed down and took it leisurely, and while doing so the steam- ‘tug Lookout passed us with Chandler and his party oo board, who were loudly cheered. In a few moments more we were hailed by partios ima small boat, and in the man hailing we recognized “Dooney” Harris. He was calling to the stakeholder, who was on board our steamer, and saying that he looked to him more than ‘to any one for « fair show. We stopped, and he ‘was requested to come on board, but declined, and palled away toward the steamer Relief, on which his friends were assewbled. The operation of collecting fares was now gone through with, and a troublesome one ‘it was for the capiain and clerk, with the character of men they had for passengers. Those who could and would, handed{over five dollars, others two and a half, some a dollar, and not a few nothing whatever. By the time this operation was over we wore between Alcatraz and Lime Point, and beading up the Bay of Saucolito, and I felt sure it was the intention to try and have the fight out near that locality, although the Sheriff of Marin county was on board, and declared that he would Provent the fight, if pussible, on ground over which he bad jurisdiction. This fact made me feel a little shaky, and I thought that possibly we might have a repetition of our experience of the previous Thursday. We were now followed by four or five other steamers, all densely packed with haman bélngs, and thore were sail and Tow boate without number, and just as we wore think- ing of heading for the wharf thore came a CuANGE OF PROGRAMAE, the stakoholder giving the order to go to Point Isabel, in Coutra Coste county. This took us by surprise and set- ted the matter asto the fight coming off, for we knew {hat no one in San Francisco had en idea that the last mamed place would be selected, and it could not be dis- covered in time to notify the Sheriff, who resided some twenty miles away from where we would land, and from where the fight would probably take place. We were mow standing across the bay, passing through Raccoon straits, which separate Angel Island from the main land, and 61 am sure that the econery of the grand bay of San Francisco never looked more It was one of those clear, bright ite best foot surrounding country was clothed in the most lovely tint of green; the waters of the bay were placid and sparkled in the sunlight, and all the surroundings made one rejoice at having escaped for afew hours from the dust and turmoil of the city, that lay far away, covered with the smoke and dust that constanuy hovers over and around it. ‘We could hardly realize the errand we were upon, and if conversation regarding the coming fight could only have been suspended for a time, it would not have beon difficult to forget what was coming, and imagine that we wore on & pionic where enjoyment only was to be con- Although the crowd on board the Goliah was com. of all sorts—from the merchant and officer of t! w to the racamuffin who had more than once made hi in a Police Court for misdemeanor or more serious offences—still all were very orderly and well b>- haved.

Harris was seconded by Con Mooney and Jack Turner; Chandler by Joe Winrow and ‘Scotty,’” of Brooklyn, ‘The colors of the former were white, with @ green border; of the iatter, red, white and biue, with gtars on the biue, Preparations now began to get the men ready.

Then came tiie toss for corners, which Harris won, and he faced the east putting the strong glare of the sun in his opponent’s eyes, The men were now stripped to tight- ing costume, nothing on above the belt, and then 1¢ was that the contrast between the men became visible, aud [ changed my opinion as to the result of the Hight. Chand- ler stripped splendidly, he was without an ounce of un- necessary flesh, and his chest and shoulders gave every evidence that he had heaith and strength ; his muscular development was good, and his head is pat upon his shoulders as if meant to stay there. Harris pected very diferent from what 1 expected; he reminded me more of a janky schoolinaster undressing for a swim than a prize ighter stripping for an encounter; bis arms wore Jong and wiry, but his body 1 thought was very faulty and incapable of sustaining much punishment.
