Twelve Rounds Fought in Three Hours and Thirty-Eight Minutes, “One Afraid and the Other Afraider.” The Referee Declares the Contest a Draw and ‘All Beis Off.” SKETCHES OF THE ME New ORLEaNs, Nov. 30, 18' ‘The long-talked-of fwbt between Jem Mace and | Joe Coburn, for the muscular championship of | America, took place to-day among the piney woods | Of Mississippi, at Montgomery station, one mile from the pretty wateriug place, Bay St, Lonis, and | forty-three miles from New Orleans. Swamps aud | Lake Ponchartrain formed a secare barrier agaiust | j | intrusion. THE EXCURSION TRAIN, The excurstonists, over six hundred in number, left New Orleans by the Mobile and Chattanooga Railroad at seven o'clock. A detachment of potice, headed by the Superintendent, kept order and ac- companied the party out of the State. The train | consisted of ten passenger coaches, containing some five hundred persons, the majority of whom were what are termed the better classes, including Fepresentatives of the Bench and Lar, the medical projession and banking, cotton and mercanti’e es- tabishments. The sporting fraternity were ont in force, with representatives from all the Principal cities. Among the notables of the prize | ting present were Tom Allen, Ned O’Baldwin, the Irish Giant, Tom Kelly, Sherman Thurston, Jim Cusick, Jim Coburn and Pooley Mace. THE RING, The appointed battle ground was reached about ven O'clock, and the mng was prompuy pitched on Bigh ground, about fifty yards from the track, ana Was constructed ander the superintendence of Jim Coburn and others, A delegation from Mobile was already in waiting; putsiders climbed the overhanging fr trees, and @ few stray countrymen gathered around in stient | astonisment. A more orderly or respectable crowd never assembled at a prize fight, THE PRINCIPALS, Coburn left this city yesterday, and passed the might with Mace at @ hotel in Bay St, Louls An engine and car sent ahead to this point brought the Principais and thetr trainers to the fighting ground at haif-past eleven o’clock, READY FOR ACTION, Joe Coburn threw his cap into tue ring, and Mace quickly followed. Coburn was handled by Tom McAlpine, of California, and Tom Kelley, and Mace by Jim Cusack, of New York, and his late antagonist, Tom Allen, of St. Louise Colonel Rufus Hunt was choson referee by | Rcclamation, notwithstanding an expression of Opinion on his part that he, as stakeholder, ought not to be the referee as well. Coburn stripped | slowly and with an apparent reluctance, giving rise to opinions which his subsequent conduct en- | Urely dispelled. Both men seemed ig fair form, but neither too finely trained, ) When the ‘decks were cleared for action’ the referee stepped in the ring and delivered the fuliow- ing NEAT SPEECH:— “I take some interest in this fight. These men tome out here with the understanding they shall have fair piay and a fair fight and no favor. Now, Vi tell you how they can have it, Let everybody keep quiet and the referee and the umpires do ail Ihe talking.” THE FIGHT. Rovunp 1.—When the principals and seconds had shaken hands Mace and Coburn retired to their corners, and time was called at twelve minutes before twelve o'clock, The men moved up with alacrity to the scratch, putting themseives in fight- ing attitude as they approached each other, It was but a moment after they met before Mace let fly his Jeft hand, which landed s plumper on Coburn’s right ribs, near the front Coburn attempted to gennier alace, but fell short, the latter peing away advance of thé biow. They then sparred with each other for an opening, Coburn Fetreating 6 Mace advanced, until Coburn, ‘Gnding himself cornered, let fy his right hand, which landed on Mace’s hip, This was a bard hit, and Mace said he would not claim the foul, but cau- tioned Coburn not to “do the hike again.” ~The meu worked avout for an opening, and it was some min- Utes before one seemed ciear for Coburn, who launched out with his left at Mace’s body, but the blow did not reach its intended destination. Mace then tried to get in close to Coburn, but the latter moved away a3 he advanced, and after some min- Sates spent in dodging about the men put down their hands and took a look at each other. They put up thelr hands again, and Mace moved in quietly, planting hig Jett on Coburn’s chest, for which favor he received 3 right-hander on the Then there was more 5 4rring and dodg- ‘Ang, Mace trying to find 37, opening, but his wily opponent was always away ashe advanced. - ifn, bWever, slipped in his left on Mace’s nose “and got @ counter hit on the moath iu return; both dight, After more fencing Mace got in one on Coburn’s left cheek with his Jeft hand, Joe returning with a right. hander on the gypay’s ribs Then tney Jcoked at each other and feinted till Mace finally crept lu with a light left-hander on Coburn’s right eye, again getting a spank in the ribs from Joe's right, Sparring was resumed again, and Mace, thrice making for Joe's head, and each time miss ing, finally put in @ hard one on Joe's forehead, ‘which was more damaging to his own hand than to his opponent’s thick skull, Joe retreated and Mace followed, when Joe suddenly put out his right and caught Mace pretty nearly Denind the ear, Mace seemed at this point very anxious to get at Coburn, but Joe wouldn't ac- commodate him. After dancing around the ring for ome time Mace again got in and planted a sound- ing biow on Joe's stomach, getting in return a sounding hit on tho shoulder, Joe dancing away ‘Mghuy. Mace followed him, but missed, and missed ‘@gain with his left when Joe struck him a heavy right-hander on the ribs and another on the hip, ‘when Jem asked him if he was “not getting too low.” Lvery dodge known to the P. R. was ex- hansted before they again got together. am, after trying feints, coaxing and ail kinds of pretences to get Column to fead at him, fairly stopped and scratched his head im ludicrous perplexity, More cautious sparring aNd some chaff avout blood on Mace’s shoulder, whicn Jem said came from a coupie of pimples and Which Coburn’s friends contended ougit to be awarded as “first blood,” as he had knocked them of, At last Mace rattled Coburn’s teetu py a left hander on the chiu, which Joe countered with @ mild left-hander on the cheek, and followed it np with bis right, which landed on the back of Joui's jayuluerable head, Now both put dowy ther NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, b<CEMBER 1, 1871.—TRIPLE SHEET. Danes ana raveea themselves and seemed puzziea how to get the better of each other’s science and agitity, Then the rain, which had been threatening jl the morning, began to pour down, and the ground became slippery, damp and cold. When they again got into action Mace planted on Joe’s forehead, he retarning on the breast, Then Mace got again on Joe's nose, but not to hurt it, Joe put- ting ina right on Mace’s left arm, near the shoul- der. Mace planted his left on Joe's bald pate, when they clinched, and Joe, giving Jem the back heel, threw him and fell on bim, This ended the first round, lasting thirty-one ininutes. Rony 2,.—When the men appeared at the scratch there was no blood visible on either of them, al- though the upper part of Joe's head seemed a little lumpy. They commenced by ‘einting and dodging, Mace missing two hits, Joe being very wary, aud it bothered Mace, and while Jem was following his opponent up and trying to find an opening the science displayed was rea'ly fine, Much arm jold.ng and Jooking at each other ensued. Co- barn finally gave Mace another terrible right- hander on the hip, which Jem regarded as against the raie, and withou claiming a foul, asked to have it stoppe’. Coburn then tried a one, two ‘with his left, but tell short, and before he could get away, he received @ rattler on the mouth from Mace’s left, Coburn then planted one on Mace’s breast, missed again, and stopped Mace's left very cleverly. Afterwards they got to close quarters again and seemed to mean fighting, when Mace Jet out his left hand with all his power, striming Coburn @ terrible blow on the fore- head, which seemed for a moment to atag- ger the Irishman; but Mace paid dearly for the hit; Joe's skull was too much for his fist, and the biow, which only startied Coburn, disabled Mace’s uselul left, and for the rest of the fight he Was practically one-handed. Joe now dashed in recklessly, right ana lett, getting in two or three around Mace’s head. They clenched aud Mace was thrown, Joe on top of bim. This round lasted ten minutes. Rounp 3—Coburn came up blowing and seemed to piay away from Mace, and acted with great caution, Mace could not get at him; he easayed two or three times, but found Joe's agility www preat. At last be got one or two very light taps on the Irish- Man's face, and Joe, trying to return the compli- ment on Mace’s body, fell short, but fund partial compensation in a light blow on the gypsy’s nose. Alter a littie more sparring, Mace got in a spanker on Coburn’s right cheek with his ieit, when Coburo rushed at bim, and both fought wiidiy, missing several well-\ntended blows. Mace, however, got tn bis right hand for the frst time og joe's nose, and Coburn returne | a terrific hit, whicl}janded on the side of Mace’s head. The men clenched, and, aller @ short struggle, Mace threw Coburn and teil on bim, This round also lasted ten minutes, Rounp 4—As the men came up tp the scratch, pot- withstanding all the Mynting, there was no blood visibie on either, The rain, which had temporarily ceased, again bezan to pour, Mace opened with a ight one ou Coburn's right eye, getting a return ou the breast: then there w: Mace crawling up, got in one, two, on Covurn’s might eye lizht and on the nose, Coburn followed Jem up to give him a smasher. in the ribs from the mght haud and another on the head from the same hand, Mace’s return being short, There was great dodging again, and seven mtoutes passing without an attempt to give a biow, the referee told the men to get to fighung. Jem re- plied that he was “trying te do so,"’ and proved his words by planting bis left twice on the mark of Coburn’s stomach, and Coburn, in re- turn, got hghtiy on Mace’s breast, Jem then stole in like @ cat and planted his left heavily on the corner of Coburn’s left eye- brow, cutting a deep hole, from which the biood flowed Ireely down Joe's breast, ‘First biood’’ claimed and aliowed for Mace, Jem forced the fgnt- ing, but Coburn made it a running fight. Jem now missed twice, but eventually got in a left-hander on the damaged rignt eye and snother under it on the cheek. It was now supposed that feiating again, and | Cobarn’s eye would soon close. “A hundred to twenty-five’ was offered on. Mace, but Meanwhile Jem's left hand began to show stgns of the lujury It had received, and soon swelled up like a boxing glove. The remainder of this round consisted of stopping and feinting, except that Jem again got in one oa Coburn’s right eye and set an- other stream of blood ranning, for which Joe re- torved with a rigut-hander for his opponent's ribs and another for bis nob. The round ciosed by their making @ dash at each other and fighting up to the referee, when, after some short and wild hitting, Mace, who was getting the worst of it, dropped down rather suspiciously in front of the referee, ‘The round lasted fifty-seven minutéa, Round 5—Coburn’s face was bleeding both sides; his nose was swollen and his face looked bad, and Mace, with his damaged hand, sfill managed to add to its troubles by one on the right eye and another on the invulnerable nose of the Irishman. Coburn’s corner, where all the sparring had been done hitherto, was now a perfect mud hole, and the men had to move away to the left. They meant business, Coburn collected his energies and made a rush, and there was some very good fgnting with intervals of pausing, folding and rubbing their arms, the round ended by Coburn following Jem up to his own corner, closing with him ma rattling rough and tumble, and both failing over the ropes together on thelr heada, Tne round lasted twenty minutes, Rounp 6.—As the men came up to the scratch complaint was made that Coburn had something in hts handa, which a bystander had seen his sec- onds give him. The referee at once jumped into the ring and told Joe to open bis hands, Coburn did 80, and two small pieces of tightly rolled oakum dropped ont. The referee said that as it was nothing ore serious than this, he would not stop the ight for it. Very little business was done in thts round farther than that Mace got in his left Coburn’s rignt eye and Coburn his left on Mac's right chees, and they had several halt-armed hits, one of which turned Jim, who fell, Coburn waiked to his corner. RounD 7.—Twenty minutes’ duration, this amounted to nothing; two misses, a clinch, a back- heel and a fail, Jem being ander. ROUND 6,—Hard hitting by both; forcing the fight, they fell side by side. Rownp %—Both men appeared to be weak, Mace particularly, as his left hand was quite disabled, and he was shaking with cold and wet, Coburn re- sumed the defensive, Mace followea him several times round the ring, bat could not find an opening. They clenched, and Mace was thrown, with Coburn on {he top. He evidently now veing the stronger of the (wo.

Round 12.—This, the last round, lasted nearly an nour; but not ® viow was struck. Four times the referee ordered the men to the scratch, and four times they dodged back into Mace’s corner, where Coburn deciuned to follow him, seeing he did not want to smash his band against a stake, At last the referee, seeing that no more fighting could be had out of the men, steppea into the ring was afraid and the otner was afraider,” an declared the fignt a draw and ali vets of, Mace at once crossed to Coburn’s corner aod shook hanes, declaring Joe “the best man he had ever stepped into a ring with.” Thus ended the fight at fifty minutes after three o'clock P.

It Was the subject of conversation in every quarter alt day yesterday, and although spologists may have been lacking, 1t was very evident that many were coming to the opinion that there had not been any regular legal proceedings authorizing the arrest and the claiming of such an excessive amount of bail.

This was not resorted to, however, as the ques. tioners became fewer by degrees, and the answers assumed a great deal of monotony, somewhat as follows:—“He slept very well, according to all ac- counts; got up looking rather pale, ate a izht breakfast, received lus triends during the day and ate a good, hearty breakfast in company with Mr. ‘tracey, and is coulerr.ng with Mr, —.”?
