The END OF A IRIzE FiarTER.-T
following account is from an eyewitness of
the last round fought between Lilly and
Mccoy, in which the latter was killed:
As timcwns called at the one hundred
and twentieth round, Mccoy was lifted
from his seconds knee, and stood on his
feet for the last tune. He was led slowly
to the mark, and took his position-a dy-
ing man-but as erect, as dignificd as ever
Lilly rushed in, threw him hard, fell with
his whole weight upon him, and remained
upon the dying man until lifted Off On
approaching him, (McCoy) he was found
to be perfectly inanimatc, aud sank lifcless
i'll his seconds arms. Time was called,
but not alas . for him. Poor fellow, he
was doomed never to hear sound again, till
the challenge of the last trumpet shall
pierce the portals of his cars, and summon
him with those who did foul murder on

dodgiug-no escape. lie had fought for
two hours aud forty three minutes, recciv-

with an exclamation OF JOY, and amid the
cheers of his circle, sprang over the ropes
of the ring. He was but little marked and
not severely hurt. Poor Mccoy, or being
lifted from the ground, sank as timber as
a rag in H., seconds arms. a cry was
made for tn doctor, and movement in
mass took place to give him air L forced

dying man God grant that ! moy ncvcr

ofincipicnt corruption, gasping for breath,
and word went in course whisper he is
dead. Never shall | forget the talsmanic
horror of that expression.

Cling villain and the ruliian stepped in
crime, all blanched to ashes, and exchan-
g.ng a look Of vague aud undcGncd fear,

assemblagc that collected at the landing.
