THE PRIZE RING.
Desperate Fight between Allen and
GaIlagher-The Former declared the
Victor after the + eleventh Round

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 17.-Tom Kelley and
Ned O'Baldwin were seconds for Gallagher
and jim Coyne and Bud Riley for Allen.
Larry Vessel was referee. The ring was
formed in grove but the sun poured
down tiercely. Jim Kearney was ring
master, and 200 ring keepers were appoint
ed to preserve order. The fight began at
2:40, and, after considerable sparring, AL
len received heavy blow on the mug,
which knocked him down and made him
bleed freely. In the second round Allen
went down from O stinger under the lug.
In the third round both received and gave
heavy blows, terminating in a clinch in
which Allen went down. At this point
several clubs were thrown ut Allen, one of
which struck him on the cheek causing
blood to flow. In the fourth round more
terrific blows were dealt on both sides, ter
minating in Aliens favor. The fifth round
was favorable to Allen, although he was
knocked over the ropes. In the sixth
round Gallagher was little slow in coming
up, and received two heavy blows, one on
the nose and one ON the bread-basket, and,
although Allen was down at the close, Gal
lagher got the worst of the round. The
seventh, eighth md ninth rounds were
favorable to Allen, and at the termination
of the latter the sponge was thrown up and
Allen declared the victor. The fight was
short but it is said to have been very des-
perate, and both were badly punished.
lATER.-The account telegraped from
the battle field this afternoon does not
agree with the descriptions brought by the
reporters who returned on the Louisville
this evening. Instead of nine rounds, as
previously reported, there were eleven
rounds fought, more than one-half OF
which were decidedly in favor of Allen. At
the end of the eleventh round, Tom Kelly,
one of Gallagher's seconds, threw up the
the ring. Subsequently the referee said he
did not know who threw up the sponge,
and declared the battle draw. 1t is stated
that Tom Kelly acknowledged on the
ground that Gallagher was whipped, and
that he threw up the sponge; but after get
ting on board the boat he denied having
done so. The result is considered agreatel
outrage to Allen than the decision in the
McCoOle fight.

English Flunkeyism.
London Correspondence of the Boston Post

London Correspondence of the Boston Post.
As to the funkeyism that crops up in
such forms, we have quite exceeded the
state of things which provoked Thack cry
into writing his famous Book of Snobs.-
At the laying of the foundation stone of a
new orphan asylum at Watford, last week,
by Wales, accompanied by his wife, the
lady spectators positively made descent
upon the table where the pair had been
lunching, and carried off fruit and flowers,
and fragments of eatables, as souvenirs!
'EThe manager of the feast (Mr. Jennings,
of the Albion), somewhat startled at the
raid, at first demonstrated, but at
length did his best to foster the gush
of loyalty. TO one he gave flower,
to another a cherry, to another q
strawberry, from dishes touched by royal
hands (D and the fair recipients departed,
treasuring up their mementoes with jeal-
Gus care. One young lady, undeterred by
the ridicule of certain gentlemen, who sur
veyed the scene with astonishment, begged
for bit of bread, biscuit, crumb-any-
thing, SO long as royal hands had touched
it." And l remember that plank or two,

Hall, Islington, on the occasion of a horse

A BOSTON SENSATION.
Elopement of Young Girl with n
Negro Minstrel.

from the Boston Herald
The particulars of the elopement of Miss
Lena Warren Brown, a pretty girl fifteen
years of age, with one Lewis Cole, who is
about twenty-three years old, and negro
minstrel by profession, have been furnish
ed us by the mother of the girl, who has
been plunged into deep distress by the
conduct of her daughter. It appears that
Cole, who was connected with the company
at the Howard Athenaum, was in the hab-
it of calling at the house of Mrs. Brown on
various errands, and thus became acquaint-
ed with Lena. No suspicion was enter
tanned by the family that the girl looked
upon Cole other than that as q friend, and
no special watch was kept upon
either of them, except that Lena was never
allowed to be out of sight of some member
Of the family more than fifteen minutes at
a time. On Tuesday evening last, Cole
called at the house, and while he was there
Lena put on her bonnet and slipped out of
doors, followed shortly after by Cole. The
couple went directly to the Old Colony
depot and took the o'clock boat train for
New York. On Lena being missed, her
mother searched for her all over the city,
and finally discovered that she had proba-
bly, eloped with Cole to New York. Wednes-
day evening dispatch was sent to the
police authorities Of New York to arrest
and detain the runaway couple until Mrs.
Brown could reach there and recover
her daughter. The fugitives We're traced
to the residence of Coles mother in New
York by the police, to whom they repre-
sented that they had been legally married
in Boston. Their story was SO far believed
that very loose surveillance was kept
upon their movements, which enabled
them to escape from the house, and, find
ing willing clergyman, they were finally
married. When the girls mother arrived
in New York the marriage certificate was
produced, and, of course her efforts to
save the child were all in vain. To the
tears entreaties and prayers other mother,
Lena proved unyielding, but We under
stand that efforts will be made to prove
that the marriage was consummated under
false representations, and thus obtain q
separation of the eloping couple.

IMPORTANT TO ANTIeUAR1ANs.- discovery
of considerable Importance to antiquarians
has just been made in Utah territory. A
mound, similar to the great mounds of the
Mississippi Valley, has been found at a dis
lance of about fifteen miles south of Evan
ston Station, on the Union Pacific railroad.
The interior cavity is about eight feet long
three feet wide, and four deep. When op-
ened it contained skeleton of a man OF
ordinary stature, with a number ofcurious
objects. including plate of pure silver,
of the size of an ordinary artists palette.
The inference is that the people who built
his mound were the same as those who
built the others, and that they must have
spread by migration or colonization from
their original domains southwark toward
Mexico.
