CINCINNATI, August 3O.-BUsENBARK
STATION, BUTLER COUNTY, August 81
: A. M.-COmmencing ut mldnght last
niObt. the Hamilton n Dayton depot |
was the theatre of uueXampled excite |
NEXT. The depot was SooE hlied with
a restless and eager throng, but the
long lines of empty cars were kept lock- |
ed. and not till half-past two o'clock
were they opened. About thirty cars in
the depot were devoted to the excursion
and in five minutes after they were I'M
locked every seat was taken, and the
tiers, and were crowded with persons
unable to obtain seats. Though there
was great deal of noise, shouting, hur-
raining, buStling, no disorderly conduct
was noticed. BY three o'clock not less
than $500 persons were on the train. AT
half-past three the train glided away on
its course. The cars moved in two
trains, every car of which was densely
filled. The members of the press were
cungreCated in one car. 1t Is reported
that representatives are present from
New York, st. Louis, Indianapolis, De-
troit, Dayton, Cleveland and many 9th
err places. Whatever element OF the
roughs or fancy was there did not make
itself heard, nor even suspicious. The
proportion of respectability was in the
majority 1t would not have been easy
to have told from appearances what
mission the excursion was on; it looked
Us much like big political delegation,
or general stag picnic party as any
thing else.
At twenty minutes past four.the train
passed Glendale, and at a quarter be-
fore six they ran into Hamilton, 1t be-
ing then broad daylight. Here halt
ola few minutes was made, and a crowd
of passengers made n peaceable but
eager raid on German saloon for their
morning bitters. The train started
again, and a few minutes after six,
reached the point ofdebarkatiOn, which
is Busenbark Station, six miles north of
Hamilton, and thirty-One miles from
Cincinnati. Ii is in Butler county.
The site of the ring is IN pretty grove
of oak and walnut ;rees, OH the west
side of the railroad, and but three min
utes walk from the track. Jerry Don
Ovan, second and trainer, appeared on
the scene. and at this hour, : a. NJ, the
men are still forming the ring. The
two thousand persons assembled are as
good natured and orderly as if on IL
picnic. Many are engaged in reading
the morning papers, which have Just
arrived; others are carrying fence rails,
with the futile expectation of forming
good seats. The class of people here
Is remarkably good for a prize fight, .
many pTOminem CincinnatiaEs being
present. The morning isa gem OF good
weather, the weather being cool and
elastic, and the sunlight has IN autumn
nal bland. Altogether, the morning is
a strange contrast TO the brutal and
bloody spectacle soon To be acted in the
ring now being traced. The outside
ring is about one hundred and twenty
feet iu diameter, and the inside ring of
the regular size. 1t is on level piece
of forest SwaTd, and is surrounded by
trees, which form nearly a complete
circle. The Indicate now are that
the fight will be witnessed by twenty
five hundred persons, which will form
big girdle eight or nine deep, around
the cOmbatants.
"A. M.-The ring Is still unfinished.
the ground is very hard, and before the |
stakes can be driven, holes have TO be /
driven with a crOwbar. Aaron Jones .
spent last night three and half miles .
from this spot at the house of farmer. .
McCOOlc was dOmiciled at Middlctown, |
fUul miles from here. Very little bet /
ting seems to be going on. All bets
taken this morning are even, though |
Jones is rather the tavOrite for all three /.
events of first blood, first knock down,
and final victory. Lockers on and |
friends are very quiet and are not step
ping around with one hundred dollar /
bills on their fingers.
500 4. M.-The men have not yet ar /
rived. Some of the spectators have set
tied down on the outskirts of the crowd. |
4 few additional spectators nave arriV- /
ed on foot and by vehicles.
500 \. M.-The ring is now formed,
and amid great CONFUSION the specta-
tors are deploycd in large circle fifteen
feet from the inner ropes. The report .
ELS have seats three feet from the ropes.
Between the general lockers on and fc- I
pOrters is Gordon OF ring keepers, /
armed with heavy cudgels. BY actual /
count the reporters number SINty-one. |.
During the call for the men, Mr.. Clark, of /
81. LouiS, announces on behalf of Ell |
lott, of Cleveland, that lie is authorized |
to challenge the winner of this fight !
for one thousand dollars.
No prominent pugilist seems to be
here from abroad except Barney Aaron.
900 A. M.-JoncS' seconds, James Gu
sick and Jerry Donovan, entered the
ring, the latter carrying Jones fighting
shOes-a pair of light caltSkinS with high |
lacing, provided with two spikes in the |!
sOles and one in the heel.
Since the crowd has all got together |
around the ring, the most practlCcd /
Judges compute the crowd at 5000.
McCoole'S seconds, Denny O'Brien and
Sherman Thur~faU soon followed.
Rufus Hunt. 90. y . Orleans, was Sc
lccted as referee, aud Bob. Ryan and

nous consent of both parties as referee

l0:l5-After a tedious wait during
which ice, DO. ties, SpOnges, &c., were
brought into the ring, Aaron Jones at
last appeared, amid great cheering,

after it with Il light step, bat seemed I,
somewhat anxious.
He was dressed neatly in q dark coat, |
light pants and had black crava;.
Bythis time the sun howrd every .

Aaron took seat in 4 corner, await
