THE GREAT PEIzE FIGHT-Coburn Victo-
9ious-MeCool Completely Used Cp-The great
Ia
McCool, OF Cincinnati, came off yesterday at
Charlestown, in Cecil county, six miles south
of the Susq dehanna river, and near to the line
of the Phiiadelphia and Baltimore railroad.
The fancy began to assemble early in the
morning, and the ground was staked off about
thirty feet from the shore of Northeast river 1t
was expected that the fight would take place
between daybreak and sunrise, but Coburn was
delayed at Hayre- de. Grace, and did not reach
the ground until twelve o'clock, when all the
preliminaries were settled, and at six minutes
past one the contestants stepped into the ring,
and after hand shaking and further betting,
commenced the combat in presence of q crowd
of sports from all parts of the country, yari-
eusly estimated at from three to five thousand.
MCCOol was some twenty-four pounds heavier
than his antagonist, but Coburn was the favorite.
The latter drew the first blood, and that at the
first round and although he was several times
thrown heavily to the ground by McCool, yet
from his remarkable activity and the scientific
manner in which he conducted himself it was
evident from the first that he would be the
victor. Coburn at every round delivered his
face Of his antagonist, without ever having
received a blow in the face, and at the sixth
round he claimed the first knock down.
McCool stood up well until the sixty third
round, when il became evident that he was
nearly exhausted from the loss of blood and the
severe punishment he had received. Four more
rounds We're fought, and at the sixty eighth
McCool failed 10 come to time, and Coburn was
declared the victor, and the champion OF the
American prize ring.
McCool was dreadfully punished His face
was beaten TO a jelly, and his head swelled to
twice its usual size He was taken from the
ground completely disabled, and his wounds
were washed and dressed. Some three hours
after the fight he was placed in a wagon in an
almost hfeless condition, and conveyed to
Charlestown, Md, where he now remains.
Coburn was comparatively unharmed, and
walked off as sunconcernedly as though nothing
had happened.
The sporting men who left this city for the
scene Of conflict returned last evening.
