HARRY URIBBEN AND JOE COBURN will fight for SlOOO side. somewhere in Her Majestv's Canadian domiui6ns, on Wednesday. Both the men are in excellent condition: and their friends only ask for the old English pugilistic maxim to be carried out-a fair field and no favor; and may the best man winth first blood, first knock down, and the event; which means the colors and the stakes.
 A FIGHT ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. Whilst we advocate "tha manly art" we most decidedly put our veto upon planting the I. R. on a Sunday morning pr evening. Der rlan's Island, in the East river, was the location chosen for the last one: whi,her the boys start ed in small boats, and euded the vigilance of the household brigade" The "pugs'' and their seconds all hailed from the old Fourth: and by giving out to the Harlem Police that the affair was to take place on Riker's Island. they succeeded in putting the Metrepolitans of the track, and the hght was consequently utin- terrupted. One hour and q half was colisIlm- ed by the belligerents in knocking each other down, before the result was formally declared: after which a majority of the party took the Long Island shore, and wended their way homeward Another prize fight is soon to take place. One of the principals is in training at Yorkville, on Second avenue, and the other at McComb's Dam.
