ESPECIAL DESPATCH 10 TEE EVENING TELEGRAPH.
NEWARK, Del, Nov. 2-7 A. M.-We left
Baltimore in the $40 train last night for this
place, with the noislest crowd we have been in
for years They were singing and expressing
great Joy at the fight not being abandoned en-
tirely. The ground selected for the fight is
about halt mile from the station. Collyer
stopped over night at Elkton, Nd, six miles
south of Newark. and the fight will take place
when the principals arrive.
LATER.
The Sheriff Of Newcastle county arrived here
with his posse, and has scattered the crowd. It
will take long time to get them together. It
is quite likely that the fight will not take place
in this State. The Sheriff came near catching
Collyer last night at the Station, bat the boys
got Sam out Of the way in time.
STILL LATER.
There is no prospect of fight yet. The
bett1n g stands one hundred to forty on Collyer
Both men have gained much in weight.
There was an immense amount of rowdyism
in this place last night and to-day. aud the most
disgraceful scenes were enacted. Several rough
and-tumble rows occurred, and the citizens
were greatly annoyed by the "pugs." The
Washington House was entirely given over TO
the desperadoes, the clerks and guests generally
leaving in terror. The fancy men declare that
they will have the battle somewhere, as they
have paid for the whistle pretty dearly, and
have had quite enough disappointment. The
authorities are on the alert everywhere, and
the fight will be prevented, If possible.
Up to noon there was no fight in progress,
and the crowd OF roughs has been separated,
and the Sheriff is watching the roughs. 1t is
understood that the "mill' is to come Off some-
where this afternoon, but nothing is known of
thematter positively.
