Jem Mac® was born in Norwich, near London, in ‘1881, and ts now in his thirty-ninth year. He 1s five feet eight and @ half inches in height and weighs about 160 Ibs. From his early boyhood he mant- feasted @ love for the ‘manly art,” became a pupil of the most famous boxers, among others the champion of England, Tom Sayers, and was, before he reached man’s estate, trained to all the Points and dodges of the prize ring. Mace is a finely proportioned man, and is considered as good, if not the best, two-handed fighter in the world at the present day. When he first came into notice he ‘Was'engaged with a travelling sparring exhibition, with which he continued during the years 1854 and 1856, and 1t was in this way that hts talent as a boxer ‘Was brought prominentiy before the public. It was urged. that .@ man who could spar so well ougut “to fight.a bit.” He was accordingly matched against Slack, of Norwieh, for a “fiver” a side for @ trial At this tme Mace weighed 150 Jbs, , The fight came off at Mildenhall, on the 2d of October, 1856, and Jem beat Slack with eage in nine rounds, in nineteen minutes, Mace’s style of Aghtingeecmed te. please the “fancy,” and they be- came still more anxious to see him do it over again. It was, however, nearly two years beforo there was an opening in the prize rmg. The next time he fought he met BillThorpe, at Modway. This was on the 17th of February, 1857, for £25 a side, and in. eighteen rounds, in twenty-seven minutes, Mace scgred another victory. fis handiwork in this fight gave tim quite ail exalted reputation among his fel- low pugilists, and he had hosts of backers ail wiliing to match him against any pugihst of his weight, Mike Madden and Mace were then matched for £50 aside, but when the men were in the ring and stripped lor the combat Mace would not agree to the reforee appointed by the stakeholder, would not figit, and, much to the chagrin of his ackers, dis- gracefully forfeited to Madden, This was in the autumn of 1867. In the spring of 1858 Madden brought up Mace again to the matching point, and laid him £15 to £10 on the result, Mace prepargd for the fight, but when the morning of the day of battle came r Mace’s courage again seemed to have oozed out of his finger end, and he was non est when wanted, and was not heard of for several days, Still this flasco, although damaging to his reputation as a game man, did not change the opinion of is backers as to his scientefic capa- bilities, and they again backed hup, this time with Bob Brettle, who bad at that time reached a high Pape on the scroll of fame asa fighter by defeat. such pugilists as Roger Coyne, Job Cobley and BobTravers, Brettle and Mace were accordingly matched for £100 a side, and the fight oame off on the banks of the Medway, on the 218t of September, 1868, Mace was beaten in two rounds, which lasted but three minutes. The result of this figh very damaging effect on Mace’s character, an ‘Was proclaimed a “rank cur’? by bis backers and all the pugilists of England except the man he had been fighting with, Bob Brettle. This man took Mace in band, intused some of his own indomit- able pluck into him by some means or other, and oi ed the current of Mace’s downward course. Brettle matched Mace against Posh Price for £50 a side, and the fight came off at Surrey, January 26, 1859. Mace won the fignt very handily in cleven rounds, which were fought in seventeen minutes. This fight was a ‘‘redeemer,’’ and brought back the friends who had deserted him aiter his defeat by Bob brettle, and they were willing to match Mace against the best boxers in the > dom. The first that offered was the black wonder— Bob Travers—and @ match for £100 a side was made to come offon the 2ist of February, 1860. were in the ring at the time specified and fo xounds in twenty-one minutes, when the pollce put 1n an appearance and the fight was postponed to the following day, down the river Thames. ere tifty- seven rounds more were fought in ninety-one minut Making in all sixty-three rounds in one hour and fifty-one minutes, At the end of that time ‘Travers fell without a blowand Mace was declared the winner. The smart of the disgrace of the defeat of Mace by Brettle in three minutes was rankling in Mace’s breast, notwithstanding Lob’s kindness, and an intimation being made that another trial of skill would be gatisfactory to him, Brettle at once ex- reased @ willingness to again try conclusions with ace in a friendly way for “a lump of monoy.”? A match was accordingly made, to come off on Sep- tember 19, 1860, for £200 @ side, and after eleven rounds, in nineteen minutes, part in Oxfordshire on the day named and part the next day down the ‘Thames, Mace won an easy battle, completely wip- Ing out the disgrace of the former battle. The de- feat of Brettle added so much to the pugilistio renown of Mace that his backers began to think that there were no fighters in England too good for him, no matter what their weight or color. About this time a big chaw-bacon fellow named Sam Hurst, allas the Staleybridge Infant, weighing adout sixteen stone, took 1t into nis head that he could fight and aspired to be champion of Engiand. He was Jooking for a chance for a match with any man in Great Britain. Mace thought that Hurst'would make a capital chopping block for him and was accord- ingly matched against the ‘Infant’? for £200 a side, Mace cut the big feliow up tn eight rounds, which took forty minutes, in the Home Circuit, June 13, 1861, Six months alterwards, January 28, 1862, near the same place where he whipped Sam Hurst, Mace beat Tom King for £200 a side in forty-three rounds, which took bim one hour and eight minutes. Before the year was out, however, King turned the tables on Mace, by whipping him in twenty-one rounds, tn thirty-eight minutes, for £200 and the champion's belt. This fight also took place in the Home Circuit, November 26, 1862, Mace was not satisfied with the result of the last fight, a chance blow having put nim hors de combat, and he faim fe challen; King again, but the latter would not fight him. e next time that Mace entered the ring was with Joe Goss, for £1,000 a sidg, down the Thames river, on September 1, 1863, eteen rounds were fought in one hour ana fifty-five minutes and a half, when ‘Mace was proclaimed the victor.

Coburn not only wanted e to go to Tipperary to fight, but to accept of Coburn’s uncle as referee. These favors could not be ranted by Jem. He ‘would not consent, and the fight fell through. After- wards Mace was matched to fight Joo Wormald, but the latter had to forfeit through iliness. Mace was then onthe shelf for @ couple of rents: no man in the kingdom being willing to fight him, until doe Goss turned up again for another “shy” with the then recognized champion. They fought for the champton’s beit and £200 @ side on he ay aie at Longfield Court, near Meophany, and ir sparring one round in one hour and five minutes the referee, becoming disgusted with their manner of doing bust- ness, declared the affair a draw. Three months Jater, however, these men fought a real fight in a sixteen foot sing, for £200 a side, in the London dis- trict, when Mace whipped Goss in thirty-one minutes, there being twenty-one rounds during the fight, This was Jem Mace's last fight in England previous to his visit to this country, It {s trae he had been matched to f&ht the Irish giant, Ned O'Baldwin, but on the pagraiwe of We day abugmied fox the Mht to RING.

The men were certainly in fine condition. Their trainers had been very strict with them, requiring them to undergo all sorts of labor that would tena toreduce their flesh, The weight of Mace was got down to about one hundred and sixty-eight pounds, and Allen to one huncred and seventy-three pounds. This discrepancy in weight, however, did not discourage the friends of Mace. They offered to bet $100 to $75 upon thelr favorite, but takers, even at this odds, were scarce. They quoted his successes in former battles in Justifica- tion of being thus sanguine of success, and money to any extent would have been forthcoming, if necessary, to back their friend. The Metairie Course, the scene of the ht, was put in fine con- dition for the conflict, and fifty policemen were detailed to preserve order among the roughs. Thus Saat Ae apt was made to have the ne ass off without accidents or disorders of any kind. he men came up to their work in fine style, each confident of victory, and seemingly determined to “do or die” in the ‘attempt to carry out the sanguine hopes of his friends. Allen wore the splendid belt presented to him by his friends in Missouri, and the American eagle and the Indian war club seemed sig- nificant of the brave and terrific struggte the wearer ‘was about to make. The tight was a severe test of how much pounding a human being ls able to with- stand. THE TRIP-TO THR BATTLE GROUND. The excursion party, announced to leave at four o'clock A. M., got off at five o'clock precisely, There was alatge crowd at the Jackson Railroad depot as early a3 bal(-past three o’ciock A. M.; amohg whom were prominent merchants, lawyers, physicians, ¢x- officers of both the Union and Confederate arinieg, from the grade of general down, and well known sporting men from all parts of the country, At the depot there was a detail of about seventy Metropolitan policemen, who accom- panied the train for a distance of one-fonrtn of a mile, where all persons without tioxet were put off the train. This caused a deiay of some twenty mmutes, The train consisted of nine pas- senger cars well filled. There were on board pro- bably seven hundred. persons, about two-tiurds of whom were of the better classes. The Chicago Base Ball Club members were among the excursionists. No incident worthy of note occurred prior to the starting, The crowd was very orderly. Upon reach- ing a point about five and a half miles distant from the city the train La bp and the cars were instantly emptied, but ail hands were ordered aboard again, a8 it was found the spot was inside of the Metropoli- tan district, ON THE GROUND, ‘vhe train then proceeded to a point about three miles above Kennerviile, St. Charies parish, where the whole party entered the feild and preparations were made for the contest. The betting was about three to two on Mace, though Allen’s friends were very confident, The weather was clearand pleasant. Mace and Allen came to the ground on board a dummy engine, which followed the passenger train, Mace's face did not present as fleshy an appearance as did Allen’s, All hands proceeded to the ring, whicn was pitched near the river, about a mile dis- tant from the railroad, THE FIGHT. Rovnp 1.—Rutus Hunt, the referee, called for the men as sgon as the ring was pitched, and Allen soon responded, eatering, followed ciosely by Mace. A general hand-shaking then took place and the seconds retired to their corners, leaving the men to begin the battle. Mace had Jim Cusick and Jerry Donovan for his seconds, and Alien was waited on by Joe Co» burn and Sherman Thurston. Mace, having won the choice of corners, put his back to the sun; bui he soon left that position in his shiffing movements, Ailen appeared much the heavier man, and although an inch and a half taller than Mace he stands so low in fighting positioas that Mace was even wit! him at that point. At first there was conéfderaple feinting and shifting by the méh before a blow ‘was delivered, Mace at length landed his left above Allon’s right eye, and, stopping the retarn, put another left hander on the bridge of the nose, which removed the skin and showed a speck of blood. The first blood was claimed by Mace. They sparred argund for same moment, 000, and had ‘when Mace landed # hard one on the pit of Allen's stomach and jumped. away laughing.

When they fo together again Allen struck Mace a bouy bdlow, which landed below the navel, and a@ claim of foul Was made and an appeal taken to the referee. Mace at that inbment exclaimed “Never mind,” and refused to claim the foal, He sul uly took & full seriptural revenge by a terrible blow on each of Allen’s cheeks. Allen made a rush and delivered ‘one of his usual high blows on Mace’s head, which did no damage, and both stopped work and took to chaff, Mace remari “We're only two brothers (og oe We come this time to the end of the round. had it all bis own way, delivering six blows with his jeft with the rapidity of lightning, the first Ou Ailen’s left eye, the second on the ni the third on the on the right eye, the fifth on the heavy, and the sixth ve nose, very the lefteye, on receipt of which Alien fell to grass and Mace waiked to ts corner, The Aight had now peated twelve minutes and had brought out some se- Vere Work.

They then came toa olinch, when Mace threw Allen and feil on him heavily. Rownp 6,—Allen’s appearance when he came to the scratch was most deplorable. His right eye was closed And hus nose and mouth terribly shattered, while Mace had scarcely a scratch, ott with his body blows, but missed, when Jim caught him on a spank on the left cheek and they closed, Alien | setzi ice by the drawers slipped its hands down to. the thighs. He evidently had had enough, and wanted to ¢ut the fight right here. The claim of foul was raised, of course, but the ref termined the tl feree ould be squarely fought out, an4 contented by cautioning Alien Bnd ordered the MEK6 to Go on. Round 7.—Allen’s right eye having been entirely closed Jem direoted his attention to the other, and after walking around Tom a few times he offered him one-two, the first landing lightly on the breast and the otheron the right eye, when, dropping his head in the cunning style so peculiarly his own, he tet Allen prety weil break his*hand over i retorting by a terrible blow on Allen’s disfigured nose. Allen made two drives with his left, out of reach, and “by mutual consent they stood off for a breathing spell, both being pretty badly pumped, and the sun being by this time rel hot. Starting together again, Allen made for Mace’s wind bag, aud Mace, stealing be delivered his left on Tom’s right eye, and then on the throttle, with a lJorce suficient to give him chronic bronchitis for life. They then had a clinch, during which boti were very active with their right hands, Tom rap- ping away at Mace's attic too high to do any dam- age, while Mace took satisfaction out of Allen’s ribs, unl both dropped side by side, ROUND 8.—There was a good deal of sparring for wind, Mace, with the game in his hands, not warn 3 to throw away any chance, but waiting for an operl- ing, which he soon discovered, and got 1n a heavy blow on the eye he wanted to shut op ny ing cleverly away on Allen’s return. ace, striking at Ailen’s head, missed it, but got his arm around Tom’s neck and put his frontispiece in chancery, taking advantage of the litigation by be- stowing a half dozen heavy blows on the imprisoned suitor. The argument was only terminated by Allen utting out his whole strength and throwing Mace, ‘ailing on him heavily. Rounp 9.—Much dodging, sparring and feinting; but when operations did begin Mace delivered two siedge-hammer hits on Allen’s mouth. The round ended by Tom striking Mace with his right on his gypsy head, which knocked him clean off his ping ri laid him out; but, as customary, the biow was too high to do any permanent damage. Allen walked to his corner amid the exultug shouts of his partisans. Rounp 10 AND Last—Was longest, severest and most scientific of all. Mace opened the ball by a severe blow on Allen’s closed right eye, which cut a gash that came near restoring sight to the eye through a different orifice, and before Tom could recover from the blow Mace was far away and each Stood looking at the other, after which Mace sneaked in- and delivered his left on Allen’s left cheek and (Gy away. Allen now began to beat a retreat, Mace following him up and planting @ tremendous hit under the left eyo, which cub his cheek as if it had been slit with a bowle knife, tne blood a second time pouring down over Allen’s breast. A walk around Without music followed, when they got to work ouce more. Tom planted a violent blow on Mace’s head, for whieh he recelyed principal and interest in the shape of a terrific blow on his swol- jen, distorted nose, and two on the left eye. The blood was now streaming trom Allen in torrents, which told that the fight could last but a short time longer, Both . took a yest, Allen terminated the truce by lead- ing a@ ferlorn hope against Mace’s head—that head which never could be hurt. Mace replied by arapid fusilade, ove-two-three, on Tom’s fore- head aad lefteye. Allon walked away and each weat to the posts and rested and afterwards to their corners to get sponged and re- ireshed. They came up tolerably clean and both seemed determined. Mace now began to close up for the finish, and rattled in four left. handers like a feu de joie on Allen’s nose and left eye. The blows literally mashing into Allen’s face, ‘They clinched and wrestied and fell, Mace alighting neatly on the top of his head, in the most ex- traordinary manner. Allen tell over hiro, and, it is said, dislocated his shoulder by the fal. At any rate when he was taken to hia second’s knee it was evident that ail che fight was knocked out of him, and instantly Joe Coburn, his second, threw UD the sponge and thereby acknowledged Allen's defeat, ‘Thus In ten rounds; in forty-four minutes, ter- minated the fight for the champlonstip of America between two of England’s best buffers. Allen was carried off the ground witha face mutilated out of ail semblance to humanity. Mace had not a visible scratch, This was tie last fight in which the victor will ever be engaged, and it has unquestionably proven his best. HOME AGAIN. Everything passed off quietly and harmentously, The crowd was orderly, though deepiy interested. After the fight was over the party took the train again and returned to this city, where the topic of conversation this evening is the defeat of Allen, which, though expected, was not belleved so easy of accomplishment.
