The Prize Fight.

BALTIMORE, August "a.
The prize fight took place on Traverse
Island, North Cumberland county, Va
The men made their appearance in the
ring at seven minutes past 10 o'clock, and
after some delay in choosing a referee and
ring keeper time was called for the first
round.
Neither of the men were in proper con-
dition to fight, both being under their
proper weight, Collyer going into the ring
at 123 pounds, and Edwards at 121 pounds.
The fight was strongly and stubbornly
contested on both sides. The betting was
about even, the friends of each man urging
his claims most vociferously. The fight
lasted one hour and fourteen minutes. In
the fifty-sixth round Edwards struck COL
lyer terrible blow on the jugular, which
knocked him out of time, rendering him
senseless for over fifteen minutes. Both
men show signs of severe punishment,
though Edwards walked to the beach un-
supported, and would allow no one to as
sist him on board the steamer.
On the downward passage fight sprung
up between some of the roughs, soon after
leaving Baltimore, in which knives, pistols
and bludgeons were freely used. Oae man,
named Pat Mullen, of Baltimore, was shot
through the right breast. Another had q
finger shot of, and a third was stabbed in
the side and head. The upward trip was
quiet. s.,,r.sIzs'I.
Five hundred persons were present at the
