THE PRIZE-RIN
The RYau and Allen Contemplated
Match-A Gathering Of tho Sports.

maGch-A Gathering OF the Sports
The rumored match between Allen and Ryall,
the two English pugilists who have arrived in
this country, has as yet failed to become GER
lainty, owing to Allen failing to put in an ap-
pearance. 1t was understood that he had ar
rived from Baltimore on Saturday, and would,
no doubt, be on hand during the evening, at
him
Ryall, with large number of his friends, was
promptly on hand, and waited until midnight
but Mr.. Allen did not appear. great deal of
Interest was manifested, the qualifications of
both men being pretty well canvassed. Through
odds being somewhat on Ryall, but were not
taken. 1t was understood at a late hour that
MIR. Allen would be forthcoming this (Monday)
morning. and that he proposed to cover the first
deposit put up by Ryall $3.50, after which he
will meet Mr.. Ryall and draw up articles of
agreement. Should the fight take place it will
0e the first time two noted pugilists of the Eng
dish ring ever fought in this country.
There is vast difference in the size of these
men, Ryall being large boned, very broad across
the shoulders, with rather heavy corporation
and weighing about two hundred and thirty
pounds. He is fully six feet in height, -ather
easy, but very reliable with the gloves. Allen
is about five feet ten inches in height, weighs
one hundred and eighty pounds, is well pro-
portioned, and when stripped appears to be
perfect model of an English fighter. He is a
scientific boxer, and is no easy man to get away
with. The contemplated fight will evidently
create as much interest In England as in this
