Your paper having the largest circulation of any
newspaper in the States, and amongst its readers
great many sporting men, take the liberty TO give
you an account of prize fight we have had in this
part ofthe world. The combatants were John Brown
of Baltimore, and Woolley keamey, OF New YORK
The fight took place at Goats lsland about seven
miles from this city. This day precisely at two
o'clock, time called, and both parties entered
the ring. kearpey was seconded by Fred. Harrls
and Tom Ferris, of New York. Brown by Joe Stiles
and Tom Wilson, Of Baltimore. Both men stripped
well and were in excellent condition. AT the COM
mencement of the fight, betting was two to one on
Brown, he being much larger man than hearney,
weighing about thrty-ive pounds more than his
antagonist. They fought twenty-five rounds, when
Kearney was declared winner, he having knocked
his man out of time. Brown was badly punished.
keamey showed but few scratches. The amount
they fought for was $500. At the end of the fight,
the referee having decided that Kearney won the
fight, the stakeholder gave him the money.
Amongst the arrivals by the last steamer, was the
celebrated Yankee Sullivan, accompanied by Aleck
Edgar and Tom Bowlin. also understand that
Dutch Charley is in Panama, with his lady. They
will no doubt he up in the next steamer. Among
those here are Booley, Bill Storey, Ci Shay, Tom
Mcclure, Abe Ullaman, Frank Williams, VIM.

mention.
