1t has been pretty generally known for
some time past that the great fight for the
championship and o stake of $4,000, be-
tween McCoole aud Coburn, on the 27th in
slant will not come OF within fifty miles Of
Cincinnati, as at first proposed. The agent
who has the selection Of the battle field and
other arrangements for the meeting in charge,
would prefer certain point in this State,
but he is compelled 10 select point on the
other 4 lie Of the river, on account Of the
Kentucky Central R siroad being unable to
furnish the necessary accommodation for the
thousands who viii attend. The fght will
therefore take place a. the line Of either the
Ohio and Mississippi, or che Indianapolis
and Cincinnati Railroads, in the State Of In
diana, where the Legislature and the people
look with a more lenient eye upon the sfman-
" art" than do those Of Ohio. Both Of the

measure upon the support given and interest
u lnifested by the mechanics of Chicago we
trust, for their own sakes, that they win take
hold Of the matter in earnest, and col tribute
lib -ally Of their means and the produetion rs of
heir skiIl While our manufacturers will doubt
less take an active part in its management, and
eVince their wonted enterprise, we trust the
class to whom these remarks are more particu-
larry directed, win not fail to make their inAu-
