The great prize fight between Allen and McCoole
has turned out TO BIO great nzzle very
similar to the one between Coburn and
McCoole about year and half ago. The McCoole
party have refused to accede to any terms offered

men offered to place the stakes in the hands OF the
referee, whoever might be chosen, he to hand the
money over to the winning man, This fair propo-

merely to let himself down easily. He VIII now

retire disgraced man. His own partisans cry out
against him tonight, with such eplthets as "cur,n
"coward,n &c.
