SPOR TING.
The Prize Ring.

Prom all appearances fair stand up night may be
expected between Mike McCoole and Tom Allen on
Tuesday next The contestants do not seem 10 be
actuated solely by the mereenary motives which Of
late have characterized all such exhibitions. IL Will
be rather test OF superiority than contest for
money. Besides, the spirit Of nationality infused
into the AFFAIR will doubtless make the struggle the
more determined. IL may be remembered that after
his defeat OF Aaron Jones, McCoole promised never
to enter the ring again. He was however, earnestly
mportunel to give Allen trial, and after much So
lcitation he at length consented. The men imme
diately went into training, bent upon preparing
themselves for an encounter which would either
add 70 or diminish their pugilistc fame
Both are powerful men, broad d-shouldered and wiry,
together with being adopts In the art Of pugilism
or the two McCooe is unquestionably the stronger,
and perhaps, the more experienced while Alien ls
said 70 be very dexter0us reso ute and very endur-
ing. Everything, Judging from present symptoms,
leads TO the conclusion that the light Will be terri
bic one, though strange as II may appear II Is SAID
that no Ill feeling exists between the parties. As
previously mentioned the last deposit OF $500 side
was staked during the week, when the final arrange
ments Tor the encounter were completed. The price
OF the excursion tickets was fixed at S. and
steamer was chartered to convey the spectators 10
the scene OF action. McCOOe, who has gone thor
oughly into the work Of training, Is said to be in
splendid condition, better even than when he en-.
s somewhat in his favor. On the other
hand, Allen. who has been preparing himself in the
IA,
fine trim. Moreover, his friends sanguine OF his
success In TsnR ~ question put to him relative TO
the contest he answered, "he must whip Inc 10
twenty, or he won't whip me at ALL" 1t may take
probably longer time but the popular belief s that
ne VIII be whipped. McCoOe will fight at about 200
pounds, and Allen about twenty thirty pounds
less. Allen Is twenty-eight years Old aud very
aostemlous, having, as he said, never drank wins
key in his life 1t appears that the rsh in the oca
ty interested In the affair entertain no friendly ee
lngs towards him, having hssed nm at the National
theatre in Cincinnati. He has expressed himself
mn ia m nfU wi uyh hnln nnln yrfh
hercuean strength thinks that the victory VIII be
easily obtained. At all events Tuesday Will tell the
result ana II is to be hoped that cowardly partsans
will absent themselves from the and not make
the brutal exhibition worse by any extra ru1llanfsm.
Nathaniel Richardson was arrested yesterday In
this city on requsision from the Governor OF Mas
sachusetts TO answer TO a charge OF subornng to
perjury, III having procured one farwelI to become
security for Ned OBaldwln, captured at Lynnfeld,
Mass, during his encounter with Joe Wormald 1t
appears that when the case Of OBaldwin was called
for trial lie and Farwei who It Is asserted was but
poor mark for the security, failed TO appear. The
Massachusetts authorizes then instituted inquiries
for Richardson For that purpose captain Boynton
was sent to this city, and a ter long search assisted
by Captain J0urdan and detective Woodbridge Rich
ardson was discovered and taken back to Boston.

Aquatic.
The Hudson is scarcely as lively as might be ex-
pected at this time OF the year. The members of the
boat clubs evidently slow in dashing out friendly
rivalry. II Is to be hoped moreover that the con-
tests Of the season will not be confined TO the home
Clubs but that the amateur oarsmen Of the different
clubs will endeavor TO carry of the honors at regat
tas which take place on the Huds on river.
