The great Prize Fight, which has oc-
cupied the minds of the people Of the
United States for several weeks past.
took place in Chicago on Friday, Nav

spectators. -

and has condensed into kilograms the full
details of the mill. which we hasten to lay
before our readers.
At precisely twelve o'clock Bill Evarts
appeared, and shortly afterwards follow.

Of light weights. who at once SHE'D his
castor into the arena, which was soon.
followed by William himself, who, on
stripping. drew down immense appliance
from the fancy. William was certainly
in splendid condition, though he gave ev-
idence that his trainers had been little
too severe in their treatment Il was the
general opinion that the auburn Bow"
has commenced his training a few months
too early that he was too much refined
for a rough Western ring; and that had
he commenced later he would have shown
q tougher mug, and a browner bread
basket. As it was, however, he appear
ed gamey and determined. Before Will.
liam had fairly stripped, Abe Lincoln
jumped into the ring, and was received
with perfect tornado of applause.
This was Abe's second appearance in
the ring, and his victory. His first 6sht
was the with the Little Giant, who de-
molished him in forty rounds. Abe, who
is Of the heavy weight class Of bruisers,
soon peeled, and a finer condition was
never shown by any Of the champi-
ons. The betting was. at the outset, two
to one one on Abe. The fight commene-
ed at IL o'clock.
The Auburn boy advanced and extern
ded his AipPer; it was eagerly seized by
the Illinois Buffer, who wished to lay .
few spots against the New York Pet, but
the boy, like the Benician, replied that
he had played out on that score. Time
was now called, and both went to their
corners.
Round 1.-Seversl blows exchanged,
and ended by both going to grass. The
boy showed bad upper cut, and showed
weak on the pins. Abe had received
bad counter on his mob, but looked con.
fident.

awhile with his right, now sailed in
strongly with his left, and gave several
severe blows on Abe's knowledge boz

soon followed from Abe on Billy's snuff

Round 9.-Abe first to call Of time
The Boy came up slowly, and evidently
was not inclined to wade in too far-but
sharp hit under the right star soon
convinced him that the quicker he let fiy
the better. Billy shot out with his right,
but he was stopped, and another heavy
blow on the old spot under the right eye
from Abe was the consequence. Billy
now fought furiously. His eyesight was
fast giving out, though strong on his
pins. but he came up again plucky to re-

knocked him clear Of his pegs.
