tween Dooney Harris and P&tsey MaElay.
Tie TWO men went on esriY oa Tuesd2?
morning, and were suugly kept out Of harm's
way, from the danger Of ar1est
The most anxious were those who were
not posted as to the locality, and were wish
1ul to ret to the spot as carly as possible, aud
money being Ro object, the hackmen, to keep
up their tariff, would not accept any down.
Among the know ones there was but little
tronblf, as Gwynn=d. on the Northern Penn
sJ1vaDta Railroad, Was known to be within
mile Of where the ring was pitched. and but
forty cents the fare The Northern PenneYl-
vanta station at Germantown was surrounded
oy mony crowd, one they all seemed In.
cllned to be well conducted and quiet, sud
there was not much OF q rush to the ticket
Office, the amount being invested by d sinele
Individual, who, As soon a. he got hts ticket,
retired to make way for others
The whereabouts and the means Of 1oco1ao-
stoppago Of the tight was the nsxt bugbear.
Rut the Philadelphia authorities did not
eeem inclined to Interfere.
The GWynned Station was reached In about
forty minutes, md the ring vas ssoon formed,
about quarter Of mile to the LETT of the
fallIoad hae- Much time Was wasted in
choosing referee; bat that being Settled BY
the selection OF an old pugilist Of some re-
pute and success in the American prize ring,
the men were anxioualy inquired for.
DooDey Harris threw his Wide-a rake into
the ring about halfpast nine o'clock, and
friends. The appearance Of Harris Indicated
good and careful training, although he did
look a little too fine; but his eyes were
bright and clear, and his face did not show
one ounce Of flesh. On ente1ing tho ring. he
at once tried the spring Of the ground and
ted bis satisfaction. Time few on, aud Mar
Icy did not show, and the delay again gave
rise to fears Of the affair being stopped.
About 10 o'clock the CIT OF :" Marley was
raised, and the st. 'Helen's youth enterrd the
ring amid the cheers OF hts friends. There
was wide difference in the appearance OF
the men. Marley looked tolerably In coudt-
tin, but still he showed more lesh than waa
necessary. The skin Of hts back Was blotcby.
and his fAce showed SIS much lesh az Harris
had On bis whole body. Patsey was conf
dent and Joking, md at once advanced to
Harris and shook hands. On reaching bis
corner he sat down, and more time WAS lost,
Marley not having fighting boots During
this time Harris went to Marley with five
41tO bills In his hand, and offered TO bet,
which Marley did not at first entertain, but
ultimately put up $;C0 even Some few hun
dreds were now rapidly invested by outsid-
ere, HaHis' friends tlking $100 to $50 Jim
Colbert must be pretty heavy winner, and
the Harris phalanx have made pretty little
sum.
On Dooney dlyestlug himselfof hls clothes,
be showed large plaster on each side, which
did not add much to his appearance, but they
were no doubt beneficial to him.
Harris was waited upon By Jim Elliott and
Barney Aaron; Marley was attended By
Kit Burns aud johnny Monaghan
On the men and their seconds advancing to
the scratch to shake hands the difference In
the ply siqno Of the two men wan still more
apparent, Patsey was square built, with long
over him, and had light and greyhound like
form. Patsey's body Indicated considerable
youthful strength, and although his oppo-
nent was 60 light, bis clean formed chest and
arms evidenced that he Was all right
