THE PRIZE RINc. IN NEw Yopn

THE PRIZE RING IN New YoRK.-
AT twelve o'clock last Friday night a
fight took place at Flynn's porter
house, in Spring street, New York,
between Patsey Evans and Luke
Murphy for $1OO. Twenty-four
rounds were fought with varied sue
cesses, about equal punishment hay
ing been given and received by either
party. The Herald says:
Round twenty-four and last was
the best contested of the battle, both
men fighting with extraordinary
spirit. Murphy fell from terrible
blow upon the chest, and when down
his second claimed that a foul blow,
had been struck by Evans. The
claim of foul was put in but not al
lowed, the referee deciding against
the claim. At this moment, the in
formation was received that the fight
was discovered, and that q raid was
meditated by the police, whereupon
the referee decided the fight draw,
ana the parties hastily departed.
Both parties were considerably
punished, CEans' peppers being
quite closed. Evans stands six feet
two inches in height, and weighs two
hundred pounds avoirdupois. His
antagonist, the Unknown" from
Quebec, stands six feet two and q
half inches in height, and weighs one
hundred and ninety-eight pounds.
Both parties will Immediately 20 into
training for the impending contest,
which, from the exhibition of Evans
gameness in this last mill, will pro-
baby prove closely contested bat
