Puavecrnia, Augast 31, 1876, ‘The first single scull triul heat to-day disposed of the second, and then of the inal heats at the seulls, Calm water and pleasant air made the day and track five, and promptly at two o'clock Courtney, of Union Springs, was on band ready to receive bis friends, Yates, out of the deepest friendship possible, concluded not to risk hurting Courtney’s feelings by beating kim, and so withdrew, and Gormley and Pleasonton, of tho | Quaker Cities, seemed equally considerate, The giant thenee had nothing to do but walk over, so at it he went, and he certainly travels neatly. Still as he spua along faults would crop out, which, if weeded away, would make him allthe harder to beat, While » eoming as far back as Gulston, and admirably « to barely ‘ering the blades only of bis sculls as he catches at the beginning but indifferently ana often jerks at the fnish. He holds his head well up and 1s the picture of ease and grace in a boat, but he does not throw his head bard enough on ag be takes the water, not nearly as hard, for iu- stance, as does his neighbor on Cayuga Lake, Ostrom, of Cornell, or as did any ove of the Dubiin four when out this afternoon, Rowing cross banded, and carrying his starboard hand above at times he feathers hia port oar partly out of water, so not pulling it clear through the stroke, But he hos such a magnificent surplus of power that in epite of these defects he plays with every oarsman in this country, or, rather, every one save one, but that one, they say, and so be is a professional and must be barred out. SECOND HEAT—SECOND 8B, Thomas, of the Pennxy!vanias, was out, leaving Min- gus, of tho Vespers, inside; McCartney, of the Friend- ships, next, and Mills, of the Atalantas, outside, At the start Mulls, a lght-bodied man, with good legs, wont away too fast, and did not bear quickly enougt, for the west bank. 'McCariney, too, kept out and par- allel with him, while Mingus at once made close up to the bank and’ kept right along it At the quarter the two former begin to work over toward him, and by the time they passed the half post Vesper and friendship men were pretty close together, Mills still well out and McCartney the leader by forty feet, Mingus | coming next, thirty feet ahead of Mills, Ina hundrea yards more Mingus pulls at twenty-nine a iminate into MoCartoey’s wash, and Mills who has been behind be; | to pick up at length, at the mile drawing levelans then | passing Mingus, who somehow could not keep up the . McCartney stil! has a hundred and seyenty-tive feet to the gol, and though Mills is now coming up hand over haad, he has waited too long Mingus, lying over by the island, now gets the cheers and wakes up, while Mills coutmues his determined brush for the isinnd, but to no avail, for McCartney wins by 3 last. FIRST HEAT, PAIR OARS, London and Argonauta both staying out, Eustis and Downs, of she Atalantas, and Roach and Walsn, of the Nautilus, both Hariem teams, had fine race.’ They got off very cleanly and nicely, utilus inside, and making the most of her position, while Downs for about a minute, instead of crossing over promptly, actually headed outward, his pair puiling very steawly at thirty-two, good ones; while the other couple, ‘who’ are little ’ fellows, made it thirty-nine, At the quarter the latter were leading by a length, and Downs had at last come about and was going down parallel with bis opponents till, just beiore he reached the half, he sheered in on them fast, but then out again, making a bad eloow, but hurting no one. The tiny Roach steers well and keepa his eyes about him, while, though he and mate pull all they ‘know, ‘the sturdy fellows — oppo- site look to ‘be creeping up. ‘They are, and now faster, for the work tells on the feather weights, and, though Downs has put in half a dozen jigs in the Jast thousand feet, they get by at the three- quarters and still ponnd away steady as a miliwhcel at theirold sloy stroke. Roach now does still poorer steering as he@works ont from the bank, and in minute they are close together, but Eustis’ pair washing the little folks feariully, whilo the latter would have been far wiser to have staid in their own water, At the mile the gup is a quarter of a length clear, but in the nest quarter it opens to three, and soon they cross the line, Eustis and Downs rowing at 34 stroke to their rivals’ 46, and winning a capital race by a long 100 feet. SECOND HKAT—PAIRS. The beat for pair oars was rowed between two boats of the Northwestern Club, for that of the Londoners was withdrawn. One boat contained Corning and Cur- tis, the other Killorn and Smith. This was the closest race of the day, Corning led out at starting, but i @ quarter of a milo Killorn pulled right away trom them about three length: ut off Peter’s Island Corning lessened the distance considerably; buat through bad steering they got into the back wash of Killorn’s boat and the latter passed the line in 10m, 2448, the former coming in in 10m. 843.

Tis was a complete victory for Courtney, who. quietly pnited over the course, occasionally resting on his oars, Courtney has consoquently won the purse cup for singie sculls, which 1s contributed by Mr. J.

Fatal Prize Fight on Jersey Soil. Jimmy Weeden Vs. Billy Walker, of Philadelphia. SEVENTY-SIX ROUNDS IN TWO HOURS. —__ + Walker Dies from the Punish- ment Received. —_--- —_ PuNnsvity, N. J., opposite Newoastix, Del, August 31, 1576. Jimmy Weeden and Philip; alias “Billy” Walker, both of Philadelphia, metin the “squared circle” this morn- ing and fought at catch weights for $400, The result of the encounter was that Walker, in the seventy-sixth round, occupying two hours exactly, was knocked senseless and presented a disgusting spectable, as his | face was hammered out of all shape, and, worse still, { hts death followed soon after, This was the second | inne that these men had met in the prizo ring, and this was Billy’ssecond defeat at Jimmy’s hands, Of all the fistic contests that have originated in Phil- adelphiaduring the past six months, this caused the moat excitementand speculation, Everybody knew of the gameness of the principals, and Walker's enseavor to ro- deem his laurels brought around him a class of citizons the most cetermined known in the United States, and the most unscrupulous, While they thought their plucky lad would this time cover bimself with fistic honors they felt itaduty not to leave a single stone unturned toward attaining that end, and thus the intimidation resorted to at the ring side was not un- looked for, Those who knew of the cast iron physique of Weeden felt that his victory in this contest was just ascertain as im the firat, and so quietly backed their man, bet their money and went in scores and by the hunareds to see him win, and they saw it, Jimmy and Biby were in training {or five wecks, tho jormer at the house of Johnny Clark under tho care of “Spring Dick,” alias Dick Goodwin, and Walker in the hands of Sam Collyer, in the lower part of the City of Brotherly Love. Both mentors did their work, and the men obeyed orders patientiy, for both stripped “fine us silk,” though the faco of Weeden was much harder than hi opponent, It was hkea gun barrel, and scemingly as difficult to mark with the knuckles. The authorities of Philudelphia made no attempt to | stop the ‘moonlight excursion to Tacony.”” From what I hear, on the contrary, some of the prominent politicians and officeholders in the city were present in semi-disguise, Butto be on the safe side the original date of the contest was changed one day—not put forward, as in the Gillespie-Neary battle, but set one day later, This threw many off the scent, and intelligence was received early yettorday morning that ten or twelve private boats were on the Jower Deiaware ail Tuesday night, anxiousby seeking the regular excur- sion crait, When they found they bad been fooled the Mabagement Was heartily cursed. ‘the “Creedmoor Cuticr,”’ another name for a largo double-deck barge, lay at the foot of Race atrect wharf Jast night at tem o’clock, Along this dark dock by twos and threes the uptown party of Philadelphiavs clambered up the sides and over the deck of a three- masied schooner to reach the barge. Tickets were demanded from every comer, and all these were pro- vided, Jor it was here that the more decent portion of the gang Started for the basic ground, Four hundred em- barked aud at once spread theinselves in every avail- able spot, and, when the tug hired to tow thé heavy, lumbermg crait 10 the point solected arrived, they dropped down to the second landing with standing | r only. ‘This lauer stopping place was at the ‘Salt Works wharf,” and here commenced the trouble and deviltry Unat bumg ardund the party all might, Tue tide was sueh the barge went broadside on the dock, and, not waiting to hand over tickets or equivalent in cash, about 500 of as reckiess and unprincipled jooking scoundrels as ever endured penitential paugs in Moya- inensing crowded and pushed on board. ney swarincd fore upd ait, and, ere the barge was clear of the wharf began pouring orth torrents of blasphemy and obscenity trom their reeking lips that would have made a Christian minister thiak their chances of saivation very slim. It was about the turn of the tide and favorable for tue run down the river, The city and its light were soon put astern, a6 the captain of the tug was little afraid of the skylarking wad sparring and noise of his many “guests,” A glorious moun shed its golt, pure rays upon the party, and gentleman and rough agreed alike that “noting could be more ont’? Ono honest man flamed a huge keroseno p and opened a game of ‘sweat’? carly in the night, gave some half uranken rufllans the ‘*Belfast recl,” and they danced themselves into stupidity. There was a bar forward on the main deck, irom which liquid powon was dealt to all who had money to pay for the tery stuf.

Working around and among them in ihe almost total darkness | L could see the thioves of the party at work. Pockets were jumbled and watches sought, but whether the praiseworthy zeal displayed was rewarded | know not nor did 1 make any inquiries. Such a crowd does not like the curious minded. Below Chester the captain of the tuz found a dozen or more rutlians in his galley scofling and chailing the steward and stealing tever they could lay bands op. ‘This exasperated the skipper to that extent that he would not stand it longer and leave iis boat at the side of the barge, but took her io tow. ‘Ihts cutoff the sandwiches and hot coffee that honest men were willing to buy. About throe o'clock Sam Coliyer, with Walker, were picked up trom an open boat, a previously agreed upon, and the game littio man that subsequently met his bard Iuck and terrible death was snugly stowed away on the tug. Weeden had been in bed on the barge since eleven o'clock, Lighthouses and buoys and islands were passed quite rapidiy, for the swinging ebb tide was helping steam amazingly. Shortly afer four o'clock the mass began to unwind themseives in different parts of the bost, and chilled, stiflened men and boys, for some ot the latter were not more than ten, began drinking more rum and pushing along the decks as if they would like to make the boat a worse floating hell than it was, The “sweat? game was renewed, aud “Concertina Jimmy"? was sober enough to give the ‘qliegant (eliers’ a breakdown, Atuaybreak the tug came alongside of tho barge, vas soon effected. Nearly a thousand climbed over the sides of the craft, end haifa dozen private tags that had followed us all night empued | their loads ‘Two or three of the earlier men op shore looked with astonishment and dismay at the crowd that streamed like an army of locusts up the whart and around the adjoining property.

It was oniy a svort tine, however, for they were broken every ong, The ‘ring was completed at s1x o'vlock, but then there was a long wait.

A cheer foilowed the announcement, and Another more deafening immediately beiched from the partisans of Walker as he threw his cap modestly into the ring and quickly stepped mm alter it, It was now Ob. 34m. and the stin was gathering strength. Four or five minutes after Woeden vaglted the roped barrier, and another cheer greeted the ttle man of Filbert street. fighters were eagerly scanned these wore, @ thoasand eyes looked them over and over, and as they seemed pleased with the scrutiny cheered’ and cheered again. While the men tossed for corners «a hundred yelling raf- fians held aloft handfuls of greenbacks and wanted ‘Sneaky Hollow” where Walker baled from seems to have the most “sugar,” as thay call the money displayed.

Then Andy Hanley, of New York, took his place as Walker's um- pire, while Patsy ara did likewise for Weeden, Sam Collyer and Billy Madden, of New York, were seen to be Walker’s seconds, while Dick Goodwin ana Mike Donovan attended to like dues for Weeden. Now Coilyer came over to the referee and handed him Walker's colors, with the remark, ‘Hold them, Frank, and then they won't bo stolen, for we may win them,’ and z “Spring Dick"? did the eame with Jimmy’s colors, ard a moment's basty examination showed that Walker’s Was white handkerchief, with red and blue border, while Weeden's was r nean flag (be men began to strip.

Rovsv 1.—Great credit was due to the trainers ‘or the condition of the men, Each was fit as a fiddle, Weeden seemed the sinaller man and had ébe thinner limbs, but oy wero pictures of beavty, Walker looked larger ali uver than his opponent aud his skin was much the whiter of the two, His face bad a shgt excess of flesh, but bis weight—12s pounds—was bone too much for his frame, though it was ix pounds more thad Weeden scaled, a8 he tipped the beam at 122 pounds, There was minute to note this, a8 the men were very cautions im _ opening. Neither was very handsome in his i- tion, though Weeden’s, by hanging his head on one side, seemed the less artistic of the two, Their guards were low. A good deal of «parring took piace, butat lengtn Weocen sent out his left and caught Walker on the right cheek. but Billy returned it on the breast, Evidently not relishing the work, they sparred again, when each plumped his left in the other's face, and, indulging in lively half-arm hitung, the honors were about divided. They then clinched, and in tho wrestle Walker threw Weeden amid a deafening cheer, ‘There was more bediam sround the ring than was ever before heard of, and it looked disagreeabie. Rouxp 2—Tne fuces of each were flushed, and under Weeden’s right eye was a light mark, the band work of Walker's knuckles, [t was a long’ time before they got to work, the seconds filling up the time by chafl- ing each other and the betting men depositing more money. Finaily Walkor jet drive his jeft fallin the Tight cheek of Weeden, and got away just in time to escape a victous lunge from Jiminy’s leit ‘Then Walker popped bis lett into the side of Weeden’s head, when they closed and wicked half-arm tignting fol- lowed, In the struggle tor the fail the men worked into Weeden’s cori.er, and Waiker, getting him across the rope, punished bim slightly betore he slipped to the Broun ‘eeden’s left car was damaged in the tussle, and, the crimson fluid appearing on the upper edge, first blood was awarded to Walker. Rowunp 3.—Both stood at a safe distance for a while, and Walker again worked Jimny into his own corner. Billy finally shot out nis left straight from the shoul- der, and, catching Jimmy on the face, the latter showed his appreciation of such compliments by a pile- driver in his opponent’s body. Kapid exchanges en- sued and wore brought toa close by an embrece and Walker throwing Weeden, tho laiter going across. the rope in bis descent, which didn’t help bim in the least. Thirteen minutes had already slipped away, Rovuxp 4—Tho faces of both looked quite clean, though Walker’s lefteyo showed a diminutive mouse under it, The sparring for an opening was long drawn out, untila hundred profanely yelled “Jimmy, God damn ft, smueh the damned Datchman!” or “Buily, break his jaw, the sonof a b—h!’’ Driven» to it, Walker thumped his left into Weeden’s right choek, but it made no apparent impression. Jimmy mised a wicked returo, when Walker in let drivo bis left over Weeden’s nose and eye, which flushed his frontis- piece somewhat. Billy got out of harm’s way for an fostant, when each rushed at the other, and they got on face and body together, and in the wrestle Weeden went down easily and Waiker tell on him, Rouxp 5.—A slight cut was visible under Walker’s rignt eye, while Weeden’s lett ear was bleeding and the mouse under his right eye was a little larger, bat not dangerous looking. Waker was first to lead, and got left and right on Weeden's tace and body, bat they didn’t damage greatly. Jimmy failed to return, when both sparred for a long while, when Walker again planted his left in Weeden’s chest and eed out of the way. Jimmy being tired of this work rashed in and treated Billy’s left eye to a heavy straight one from his right, when Billy essayed to get even and sent A Vicious elt for Jimmy's face, but he ducked his head and the blow failed. A light tap on Walker's nose and the men closed, with a struggle, and Weeden under in the fall. Rouxp 6&—The men very confident, For the first time they instantly commenced business, Walker lead- ing off, making the face the point of attack, The blow ‘was nob effective, and Jimmy retarned it with interest by plumping his right over the damaged lett optic of Walker, which made it look serious, An exchange or two fullowed when they embraced and Walker was on top as they fell, Rouxp 7.—The swearing and jostling about the ring were frightful, Watker’s loft eye was not at all attrac- tive. His lace showed all punishment, while Weeden’s did not seen to swell or jooked as yet seriously lumpy Walker got a lett-bander under Weeden’s sensiti right eye, but the crosseounter fell on the nose which Jimmy sent, staggered Walker, and, irying to steady himself, went down rather awkwardly. Great cheering for Weeden, and he deserved it. Rocxp 8 —Together at once and after an exchango ip body they clinched, and Walker got the hug on Weeden, but the latter, with commendable judgment, slipped down and escaped from possibly serious dam: age. Weeden's stock was slightly in the ascendancy. Rouxp 9%—Netther over confident. Weeden led with his loft, getting lightly on Walker’s body, and the latter missing ans ugly right, they elincbed and stum- bied back. Weeden broke away and fell The round was poor, They had now been fighting thirty-three minute: Rousp 10,—Another short and indifferent round, Jimmy planted his left under the right eye of Billy, when the latter got even by plumping the other full in the face. Theraciinch, half arm fighting and down side by side. . Rowvxp 11,—Walker was puffing, but quickly to the seraich, and Weeden equally as soon. Walker's eyes wero putting on mourning, and Weeden’s right optic had not been improved in appearance, Walker ied with lett but overreached, and then recovering prettily jammed his right in Weeden’s face, the latter counter. ing on the body. A clinch, struggle and down togeth Waiker was not hurting Weeden by his fall Rovnp 12,—Billy’s eye was swelling and nis Jeft cye was closing slow!y. They went slap-bang at each other, Billy in the face and Jimmy on the body, They then sparred a minute, when Weeden shot out right and left on the damaged eyes of his opponent, which sickened him slightly. In the clinch Weeden hammered Walker badly on the body and then went down, The round was greatly in favor ot Weeden. Rovxy 13.—The fighters slowly responded to the referee’s call. With tho exception of the mark under the right eye and a cut near hig nose, with a few scratches on the shoulder, Weeden was clean, Walker seemed a little timid, and Jimmy went into his corner for the first time. Along spar ensued, when Walker led and hit Weeden in the body. The latter returned it rather weakly, when they clinched, and in the wreatle Weeden shrewdly slipped down, 0 punishment in the round. Rovxp 14.—The terrible jargon of profanity and threats to “blow holes” thivagh each other was in- creasing stnong the respective partisans. Walker landed his left on Jimmy’s cheek and got away. Ho noxt essaved the oye of bis iriend, but fulled, Anotber spar, when Jimmy sent in his right on Billy’s body, and the latter cross countering Weeden on the breast they clinched, and Walker on top in the fall. At this junceure Sherif! George Miers, of Salem county, arrived on the scene, and yelled to the fighters to stop, but the crowd heaped such abuse upon his head he and bis assistants left tho ring for the wharf to seize the barge, as the sequel proved, Had he at- tempted by force to stop the fighting he and hi® aids would doubtless have been murdered. Rovxp 1).—Sparring again, the fighting being slow. Jimmy sent a vicious leit into Billy's body, the lattor getting home on the face, when Jimmy smacked bis Tight full on Billy's nose, bringing blood at once, A struggle and Weeden went under, The battle had now lasted forty-eight minute Rovxp 16 .-\Walker's faco was showing his punish- ment badly, Weeden’s still natural, except marksalready described. The latter, aficr carefully measuring distance, sent his left with great force on Biliy’s nose, which bent it, but he partiaily red matters by bitting Jimmy in the body. A terr vreatie, endiug by Walker being thrown—the rst ge # fall for Weeden. Rownos 17, 18 ap 19.—Sparring at the beginning of each round. Both mon got a blow or two ia face and body, the honors being divided, Walker appeared to be open-handed. The latter was under im the last fall. The punishment was not serious, Rocxp 20,—Waiker, “the game Dutebman,” as some friend sang out, was bleeding trom the nose and seomeda little shaken, They went at it left and right, give and take, when, with a’ straggling embrace, Wee- den throw Walker, theugh the latter roiled him over on the ground, Short and sweet this round. Rounbs 21 Axo ‘he betting was even, Walker seemed to be growing more aggressive than before and had little the best of it, though a cross counter of Jimmy’s on the damaged lip of Waiker made the latter weeny. ‘Tho excitement was on the merease, if pos- sible. Rovxps 23 axp 24.—Tho men were fighting quicker, Fach got in terrible rib roasters and cross counte! Weeden doing the most damage. Walker's face was getting knocked ont of shape. They bad been fighting one hour. Rovxos 25 To 30 —Cantions sparring for an opening, with few body biows and the best face hitting for Weeden telis the story of theso rounds, Tne excite- ment and bitter feeling about the tag was unallayed. Rocxp 3L.—They got to work prettily, lett and right in quick succes , and in the clinch and fall Weeden was on top. Rounns 82, 83 ann 34 —The first two of little account, but the latter round creditable, the fighters punching ach other in rapid manner, Weeden domg the most execution, Walker got the hog on Weeden, but the latter was jobbing nim in the face, which Biliy got tired of, and he canght Jimmy's fist and held j:, when the latter slipped down—a shrewd movement. Tho peoplo in Waiker’s corner were getting too officions in endeavoring to aid him. The result was they annoyed and perplexed him greatly, Rovusps 35 ro 4.—Avouta stand off, Weeden was doing the most execution, and attempted one or two upper cuts, which just grazed Billy's chin, In the thirty-eigbth Weeden was fought down, and tn tne fortieth Jimmy got on his mouth in such a style with his left it sounded like a torpedo exploding.

Walker's eyes were closing slowly but surely, Weeden was a little weak (rom several body blows. Kovxp 44—The Walkerites comviained of Woeden having something in bia hands, which was denied. Tho growi that ensued was serious, ope or two “Sneaky Hollow” lads drawing msiols, and threatening to blow ‘8 Sk’ if of, They were quieted, when Billy led of and administered a smasher on Weeden’s body, bat Jimmy squared the account by planting his fall im the face with the left, Citnching and wrestling, ‘with Walker on to ere was little blood to be seen, ro | in the Then they got at it merrily, the round esding y Weeden knocking Walker down bya cross ubt~ On the nose. The stock of Weeden go- jog ngherand higher, but the other very game. jouNps 46 To 50.—Waiker did better in these, and Yweden went down atedly to get out of harm's yay. In the ffticth Waiker caine up open-handed, and nape planting him im face and body, threw bim eavily. Rovnps 59 70 60.—AmiId the greatest excitement and terrible cursing, these were gone through with, the honors being nearly divided, Weeden, in the itty: fifth, back heeled Walker and fell tis full length ov him, which made bim grunt In the fifty-eighth Weeden went dowa withouta blow, Had been fighting In, 44m. Rounps 60 To 70.—With tho outsiders’ “chin” still voiling over, these were fought. Walker had the best of the wrestling, and seemed tocome again, In the sixty-eighth ‘oul’? was claimed by Walker’s seconds for Weeden’s cathing him below the waist That ul- Jowed, Walker's face getting worse, Several of the last rounds were fought in Weeden’s corner, Rounp TL.—Both came ap gamely. Jimmy led with his jeit and plugged Dilly wickedly in the face, and seeing how effective it was, rautled away with both hands, when the other rushed in, closed and was thrown by Weeden, Until this time a chance biow might have ended it on either side, Weeden nad been nearly winded, but recovered. Rowxps 72 Nv 73%—Honors easy 1n these rounds, Weeden best of one fali and Walker the other. No punishment of any consequenee, but Walker's face was bemg badly swollen. Round 74.—Walker, by the advice of the seconds, went lor his man, and hitting Jimmy twice in the ap, though not heavy, they clinched, Billy got the hug on the other, but Weeden was hammering him with his right when be slipped. down, and Walker barely escaped a foul blow. An appeal was made, but not allowed, the “fouis being a stand off,” said ¢) feree, Rorxd 75.—This was the beginning of the end, Weeden started at once and peppered Billy in tho face terribly with both hands, and he could not respond, though he had not been #o weak apparently as this state of affaira would denote, fis only return to Weeden’s savago work was a feeble attempt with his left which landed on Jennings’ right shoulder. Then they clinched and Weeden gave Waiker the §back heel and fell on bim, the crack as he struck the ground seeming like that of awhip. Walter looked very stupid as he was roughly tuken to his corner by his seconds. His face up to this time had not looked terribly bad, but suddenly it seemed to grow shapeless and become badly discolored. His eyes had becn nearly closed and his lip greatly swollen, and his lett cheek was in a poor plight; but now they were all much worse. Weeden showed the cut under his right eye, the gash over his nose, or rather to tho right of it, nis damaged car and his’ lumpy left face, Dut it was not discolored to any extent. At the end of this round Weeden’s friends were wild with joy. Rovnp 76 Axp Last.—Walker had not recovered from the fall and pnuishment of the Jast round, and he came up Staggering, To show his bewildered state his handa were open and hanging by his side, though instnc- tively he clutched thei for an instant, but did not bring them tow position. He should not havo becs sent up by his seconds in this terrible condition, Weeden, perceiving his phght, rushed at hin with his whole might, smashed him with bw right and left with the force of cannon balls and, then catching him, flang bim down and again fell ‘on him with bis full weight, A cry went up to heaves from the more tender-hearted at the cruel exhibition, while Weeden’s triends cheered him until they were hoarse, Roieree Gormley calied ‘Time’? forthe next round and Weeden responded, but poor Walker still lay ‘on the ground, and was insensiblo, wholly oblivious of whero he was and what he had been doing. So Collyer threw up the sponge in token of defeat, and then Madden and he picking up the still insensibie Billy, laid him in some brush wood, awaiting bis return to con- sciousness. It was now filty-flve minutes past eight, the fight lasting just two nours, The writer of this thought as ne lay there under the large white oak, that his face ‘was the worst he ever saw ubout a ring, but then it had lately becotne so 1m the very latest portion of the fight, though it looked bad before. He also conjectured that ten or fifteen minutes at the least would straighten him Walker's freo momentarily bigger. Weeden went for tim ore and missed, peated caught out, and so told Collyer, mene “Tako care of this game boy, Sam;” ut it | Seeins that he was past taking care of. Weeden was taken to the centre of the fleld and quickly dressed. Tho crowd divided, Some wont down the beich and put of in yawls and sailboats to their tugs, Others went up a road, and, turning into the one street of the village, were the subject of much criticism {rom oid men and women, even the little children not liking the looks of the gang, and it was not surprising. The crowd that collected on the dock found that Sheriff Heins had forsaken the ring side only toda duty elsewhere. Ha had seized the barge, aud held the Vhilistines at bay by the aid ot pistols and assistants, ‘The boys expostulated, but in vain. Then, when entreaty was usoless, the roughest of the rough walked right over the officers with drawa pistols, ‘The officers were overpowered, Then the tug steamed in shore and made fast to the barge’s lino and com- meneed to haul the swearing mass {oto the stream, But Shertif Heins wasn’t going to let them off so easily.

This, however, is only a rumor, tor your correspondent at once hurried to the river after the fight was over, chartered a boat and was pulled to Newcastle, where steam soon put the fighters and the fighting gang far vebind hin, Weeden ts in his twenty-second year, is five feet four and a half inches, and was born in Kagland, Ho js very shrewd in the ring, a hard hitter and a long stayer. His face is something to be admired for withstanding punishment and not showing it. Walker was of German extraction, twenty-one yeart old, five feet tive and quarter inches high. It wat his second fight, His ring career commenced and ended in front of Weeden, DEATH OF WALKER—HIS BODY FOUND AT GREENWICH POINT—-THE PHILADELPHIA AU« THORITIES SEEKING WEEDEN AND OTHERS, Paiapetrata, August 31, 1876. Upon the receipt of a telegram from Sheriff Heins, of Salem county, N. J., to arrest the principals im the prizo fight which took piace at Penn’s Grove this morning, Chief of Police Jones, of this city, directed the Licutenant of the police tug to be on the lookout for them, and also stationed officers along the river front ta await the landing of the parties. The tug came across the boat containing the roughs who had witnessed the fight, and the officers searchod the same, but were unable to find the principals, It seems that after tho gang had left Penn’s Grove they had seized two small oats and putthe principals aboard. Weeden, it is said, was landed at Chester, and escaped. Early this evening the dead body of Walker was found at tho sali wharf at Greenwich Point. The news was con- veyed to polico headquarters, ant an investigation disclosed tho fact that a batteau containing three men was scen about the wharf, and itis supposed that tha parties in it placed the body ashore. Tho police ara making every effort to find the parties, as well as Wee- den, the backers and all others im any way connected with the fight. Weeden, wherever he is, is said to ba badly cut up. The dead body of Walker was removed to his father’s residence, on South Second street. It prerented a horrid sight, the face and neck boing bat- tered and swollen out of al proportions.
