THE EVENING STAR
THE PRIZE FIGHT.

Mace, the prize fig hter, charges Coourn with
never intending IN fight and claims the stakes.
A Dublin letter intimates thar the fight is off,
and probably altogether. The writer says:
The articles for the match requiring that
referee shou,d be named this afternoon fOcto-
her a a meeiing was accordingly held for tn at
purnnse at the headquarters. Island Bridge.
Tn. principal leaders of the pugilistS were in
a,i. pdance, and the character of the meeting
was one of unusual interest and excitement.
(cnfusion W as made worse confounded by the
fact that there had been noropes or stakes pro-
yid.d for the encounter. AT 3 O'Clock In the
af ernooE The question was mooted as to who
should be the hit man in the right place. as
referee. Mr.. Brunton, on behalf Of Mace,
named Mr.. Smith; but this selection was OBJ
,ectedLto by Mr.. James. the representative of
Coturn. Mr.. James then named Mr.. Thomas
Bowling, brother in-law Of Coburn, reslding
De ar Limerick
This Mr.. Brunton Immediately objected to
as prepostsrous. brief but hot argument
ensued, and the parties separated without
agreeing to referee. The matter consequent
ly stands over for adjudication by the final
authorities have. during the morning publicly
notified that measures would be adopted 10
prevent the fight taking place in any part Of
Ireland. under the penalty OF personal re-
straiut to all parties concerned The Issue is
most CALLING to the whole spol ting community,
and another blow has doubtless been struck
against pugilism.
The Morning Advertiser says:
uThere will be no fight between Mace and
Coburn. The bubble has burst through. Harry
Bruntop. on the part of Mace, met Mr. Edw
James, Of New York, on the part of Coburn,
10 name q referee. After winning the first
chance for choice, Brunton chose the gentle
man who oficiated at the battle of King and
Heenan. To this the Coburn party at once OBJ
jected. Brunton then said he would not refuse
