cation of the impending battle, that it
would be in the neighborhood of Weehaw-
ken, and daylight would be the hour for
the encounter.
Our party got a hack about 2 A. NJ,
and at once made tracks down Broadway
to Barclay street, at which place we cross
ed the river to HOboken.
At the break of day one hack was
freighted with McCabe and te" more,
who started for the Irish Lagerbier Sa-
LOOM" and we assembled a multitude OF
steps, as long as Jacobs ladder, to the es-
planade of the Park, and thence to the
Teutonic beverage dispensing Donahues.
A further move was speedily made from
thence to Gutenberg Here were Patrick
Keefe and his friends, but the coach with
McCabe had net arrived, and the partisans
of Keefe were loud in their denunciatiOns
of his delay. After some time the coach
appeared coming down the road toward
US. On arriving, McCabe refused to 60
on until the arrival of his hacker, who
shortly came up, and no time was lost in
getting things in order, The referee, Mr..
Corners, and Rocky Moore, timekeeper,
were speedily chosen, and the men were
soon in the ring. McCabe was attended
by Johnny Grady and Young Bennett
Keefe was esquired by Pat Clark and Billy
McMullen.
On stripping, there was marked differ
ence in the mems appearance. McCabe
presented a youthful and Apollo like form,
with good arms, splendid shoulders and
good underpinning. Keefe showed marks
Of wear and tear, and looked ten or twelve
years the older; although he has good,
broad shoulders, in every other point Of
manly conformation his opponent had the
natural advantage. After shaking hands,
the men at once advanced for
THE FIGHT.
Round l. McCabe put up his hands in
good form and stood gracefully on his legs,
apparently prepared at all points; Keefe
stood very square, and stopped consider
ably, looking shorter than McCabe, when
he was really an inch taller, his right hand
advanced, and his left closer to his breast,
with both elbows squared out. Keefe
made a feint attempt or two with his right
to no effect, and was knocked down by
Highlander on the jaw. First knock.
down for Mac.)
2. Keefe showed the tlushes of Macs
visitations, while the latter was untouch-
ed; some sparring, when Keefe tried his
right, but was nowhere; and McCabe
missed reaching with his left, but got at it
left and right, while Keefe made little at
tempts without effect, and was thrown.
6 minutes.)
3. The same sparring at distence-
Keefe at length made desperate rush
with his right, but Mac got away, a break,
and getting together, Mac put in two or
three, and threw Keefe after short strug-
gle.
4. There was but little sparring, and
Mac got at once on the side of the head
with his left and made his right twice on
the body, Keefe putting in his right once
without effect, and after struggle was
thrown heavily, falling upon his head.
and McCabe covering him with his full
weight.
5. McCabe did not wait long at dis
lance, but went in, left AMI right, and
Keefe was fought down.
6. More long squaring off, and cries to
60 in ; Keefe tried his right at vacancy;
at length Mac made bis left on the face,
and right on the breast; Keefe got on
Macs shoulder with his right, but was out
fought and slipped down.
z. Long time wasted, and cries to go in
and fight, but to no avail. Twenty five
minutes had now elapsed, anil there had
not been any actual fighting for two min
utes. McCabe at length put in his left on
the chin, and went in with both hands,
Keefe making Intellectual blows with his
right and left; Mac clinched, and slipping
his right hand down Keefe's left thigh
close to the knee, threw him heavily. A
claim Of fonl was at once made and speed
lily allowed by the referee; McCabe losing
the fight by his own carelessness in seven
rounds and twenty-six minutes
REMARKS.
There can be only one opinion in regard
to this fight. Keete may be hard rough
in bar-room or street fight, but he has
not particle of the attributes of ring
fighter in his composition. McCabe has
much to learn, but he is clever hitter
with both hands, (when he does hit,) and
can get away safely from a return, which
he could have done in this fight in every
round, but he did not seem to like to try
it; he has most lamentable fault of duck
ing, and clever upper cut would finish
him in a short time.
ROUGH AND TUMBLE FIGHT-$5O0 TO 500.
The friends of Dennis Calvin backed
him to fight Jim Hanley rough and tum-
BILE fight, betting five hundred dollars to
Hanley's one hundred dollars. The fight
took place in room near Greenpoint,
Long Island, about noon yesterday, and
Calvin beat his opponent and Won the
money in ten minutes. Last night Han
ley appeared with a very confused face,
and his right hand is said to be broken.
