bles are undoubtedly more needful here where
the atmosphere is dry, than in England, where
it is invariably moist. Here, too, a walk of six
or eight miles is equal to one of eight or ten in
England. These matters are not always under
stood by trainers, who mostly come from the
other side Of the Atlantic. The severe English
regimen upon which Heenan was put, impaired
his powers here, while there it developed them
TO the fullest extent.
The guides, philosophers and friends who
have Messrs. Coburn and McCoole-the fistic
heroes, whose preparation for coming encoun-
terhas provoked this present wrting-in charge
OF course, understand these matters and will
shape MISREPRESENTATION accordingly. Columns
trainer is Hen. Wrinkle, an American, looked
upon by those who know him as a shrewd and
reliable Judge of what is best TO be done FOL
pupil, and what is best for pupil to do. Joe
Winrow, who is to train McCoole, performed
the same office for Tom Hyer in his fight with
Sullivan. and though an Engshman has had
many years experience in this country.
The combatans themselves have seen SER
vice, and must pretty well understand their own
requirements. Coburn, seven or eight years
ago, fought with Price between three and four
hours, until neither could whip the other and
they had to make a draw of it, In 1858 he
gained a victory over Harry Gribben in 80
minutes receiving very small share OF pun
ishment Since he has obtained forfeit IN
match for $4,000 with Australian Kelly. He
is finished SPARE acknowledged to be one of
the best of the day, and, il his game and STAN
ina are good, he must prove formidable Gus
toner to handle. His height is fset 10 l-2
inches his age about 30 years; his weight be-
fore training 1S5 pounds, which will be reduced
10 16j before the date of the battle. He is in
fair condition already, having got through with
his preliminary purging and his first two or
three sweats. His quarters are at Mark
MNguires Wiow-place Hotel, on the corner OF
| Eighth-avenue and McCoomb's Dam Roam. 1t
will be seen that Coburn is two inches taller
and fifteen pounds heav err than either Tom
Savers or Jem Mace, both of whom have been
champions of England. His partisans profess
to have great confidence in him.
McCooe is not so well known in this part of
| the country; but his renown has spread far and
wide over the West, reaching the whole length
of the Mississippi. lie halls from st. Louis
There he fought and conquered bruiser called
dublin Tricks" ia different Tricks from the
one named Hastings, located in New York. y
| He achieved this successful issue in S4 rounds
and 10 hours. He afterwards challenged
Heenan and Aaron Jones, but could prevail on
neither TO accommodate him. A vast deal of
banter-a commodity in which gentlemen of
the pugstc persuasion deal quite as prolusely
as in blows-then took place between him and
a New Orleans rough, named Jennings. Tired
of words at length, McCoole one day went down
the river, called on Jennings, arranged an i'm
promptu difficulty on the spot and whipped the
Crescent citizen handsomely in 20 minutes
He is a far bigger man than Coburn; stands 6
feet inch in his socks, weighs over 200 pounds
when out of condition and trains down to about
$50 pounds. He has great swinging limbs,
enormous hands and feet, and prodgious
quantity Of bone and sinew, but wants chest
and loins and the symetry of outline which
artists like to look on as model.
OF course if hese men are very anxious to
fight their proper place is in the army helping
to put down the rebellion. Nevertheless the
country will endeavor to do without their SER
vices until May, and then, when they have
pommeled each other to their mutual content,
there will he a chance to make them useful I'M
