cordngly, when Kings friends went to look for the

crossed the river and wended their wearisome way

battlemoney and the fight. But the crowd had come
to see prize fight and fight they were bound 10
have. So parse of $50 was made up, and two boys
named jimmy Clark and Jimmy Elliott, expressed
q cir deere pummel each other for that sum- the
winner Of the fight to have the money.
OF course seconds, bo te-hoders, and referees
Instantly found and the boys stripped for the fight.
These lads each about seventeen years of age,
and proiessed have considerable skill in prize-ght-
ing least the hight of their ambition seems be
attain tie enviabe reputation of pngiliss. Some
five hundred men stood by, and for upward of hour
looked and encouraged this brutal transaction. The
brutal and bloody it became the greater was their
satisfaction. The boys were both pfucky, but it was
evident that Clark had the best of the receiving
but little punishment while his blows told powerfully
upu Elliott Thirty rounds were fought in one hour
and five minutes, when Elliott was no longer able to
come to During the last few rounds he presented
a most horrible appearance, his eyes, lips, cheeks and
month b9ng terribly swollen and as he came to the
scratch he reeled and staggered about like drunken
person. When this beastly exhibition was concluded
biz seconds obliged TO carry him from the field
their shoulders. The eamboaSs having away,
the crowd were obliged to cross the river in small
boats and return to the city by the Hudson River
Railroad.
