PUGILISM.

(From Bell's Life.)
JOE COBURN AND JEM MACE.

We are now on the eve of this important match, which,
as our readers are aware, is fixed to come off on Tuesday,
October 4, in Ireland, within 100 miles of Dublin, for 1,000;
and as it is now known that both men are in the Emerald
Isle and close handy to the starting place, the doubts long
existing as to the probabilities of a mill appear to have
vanished, and the encounter is beginning to excite some-
thing like genuine interest, The toss for choice of place we
stated in our last was won by Mr E. James, of the New
York Clipper, on behalf of Joe Coburn, and it was then
arranged that Joe should send a notice yesterday, Sep'ern-
ber 30, to Jem Mace, at Mr Woodruffe's, Cambridge Arms,
Island Bridge, of the appointed rend, zvous. This condi-
tion was duly complied with, Jem sending a trust-
worthy agent to receive the necessary office, not deem-
ing it prudent to show himself publicly is the Irish capital.
The secret was of course only imparted to Jem's agent, and
will not be publicly known until the latest minute on Mon-
day, Oct. 3. for reasons best known to those acquainted
with the activity of the Irish constabulary. We shall not
be transgressing the rules of caution, however, by stating
that the start will be an unusually early one—that thejour-
ney will extend as nearly as possible to thaull 100 miles—
and that due care will be taken by the managers of the
trip to secure the comfort and convenience of travellers.
Joe Coburn has been training under the watchful eye of
Cusack, a few miles from his native town of Limerick, and
is represented by his friends to be wall up to the mark,
and, although making no outward demonstrations of con-
fidence, seems to regard the forthcoming mill with an
amount of sang froid that shows he is not fearful of
disgracing his country. We have, of course, heard many
rumours that he has taken no great amount of work, and has
not put that restraint upon his appetite that is required for
fit training ; but to these we have turned a deaf ear, treat-
ing them as the idle gossip of those who v ish to shine out as
more knowing than their neighbours. Joe's own friends
assure us they are satisfied, and that is sufficient for us.
His weight, we are told, will be very little over eleven
stone. In age he will have the advantage of Mace, being
still under thirty, while the ex-Champion is thirty-four.
We do not suppose he will appear in Dublin at all previous
to the mill, and this course Mace informs us will also
be adopted by him, so as to avoid all unnecessary risk.
Jem Mace has been under the care of Alf Milner of
Sheffield, first at Newmarket and subsequently near
Liverpool, from whence he paid a flying visit to Doncaster,
and, as we are credibly informed, disposed of no less than
300 colours, receiving the quid pro quo on the spot, instead
of, as is the custom, giving the handkerchief on the usual
terms—viz., a guinea if he won, or nothing if he lost. If
this be the case, Master Jena may be congratulated on having
done a very fair stroke of business, and that, too, without
any risk of interfering with his training, which his backers
inform us he never neglected for a day. In the early part
of the present week he and his Mentor went to Holyhead,
and thence ox Wednesday they proceeded to Ireland, taking
up their quarters at an hotel a few miles from Dublin, where
Jem has been putting on the finishing touch. He writes
word that he never felt so well in his life, and has no fears
as to the result. His weight at present he says is llst slb,
some 51b more than he ever weighed before when, fully
trained. This we should say is rather too heavy, but doubt.
less his trainer is the best judge. We have heard but little
betting in this country, and so far as we can learn, specu-
lation is equally dull on the other side. £7O to £lO on Mace
was offered at Newmarket on Thursday in the Rooms, but
the offers did not elicit a rise. Similar odds have been offered
in Dublin with a like result. As to the ways and means of
getting to the fight, we advise cur friends to leave at the
latest by the " Wild Irish Express," as it is called, on Mon-
day morning, and arrive in Dublin the same evening, where
they can obtain the requisite tip at MrWoodruff2s,Cambridge
Arms, Island Bridge, or al' a benefit at the Prince of Wales
Theatre, advertised by Nat Langham in another column.
Harry Brunton, of the George and Dragon, Beech-street,
Barbican, and Nat Langham, of the Mitre, St. Martin's-
lane, have promised to telegraph the fixture to their respec-
tive houses, as has also Alfred Milner, of the Punch Bowl,
Spring-street, Sheffield (Mace's trainer), but of course they
can only afford similar information to that now tendered.
As touching any arrangements for ring keeping we can
hold out no hopes of assistance. It would be impossible to
take over a number of members of the Association on spec,
as their expenses would have to bo defrayed out of the funds,
and the chances of recouping the amount so expended
would be small indeed, and we can only hope that those
members of the P. R. who may be present will, for the
sake of their own body and for their own reputation,
use their personal influence to promote order and fair
play. The usages of the P.R. aro almost unknown in the
sister isle, and it cannot therefore be supposed that the
inner ring will be respected without some exertion being
made by the habitues to ensure such a result. This alone
can be attained by persuasion and remonstrance, violence
and threats being utterly out of the question. Paddy, when
he sees a thing in the right way, has quite as great a love
of fair play and manliness as any one else, and we feel
assured that on this occasion there is every disposition to
have the contest fairly fought out. Joe Coburn has thrown
himself into the hands of his countrymen in search of fair
play, and Jem Mace is not behind hand in showing
confidence in those from whom on all previous occasions
he has received nothing but kindness.
The latest intelligence we have received from Dublin is
to the effect that a place of fighting has been satisfactorily
arranged, and that the conveyance thereto will be of a
special nature, which, as we have above stated, will not be
made known till late on Monday. The only point now to
be got over is the selection of a referee—a task which, we
fear, will be attended with some diffi:ulty. The articles pro-
vide that the men or their representatives are to meet on
Monday to agree mutually on some person to undertake
this unwelcome office—but unfortunately no provision
is made for his selection should the meeting to agree termi-
nate in an agreement to differ. As to this let us Lope for
the best, and trust that, should harmony be established,
the person honoured with selection will prove competent
to his duties, and discharge them fearlessly, will full re
gard to the rules of the Ring, and without favour ar affeo-
.oll towards either side.
