MACE AND ALLEN.
Full Particulars Of the Brutal Prize Fight
between them Yesterday. ~
Mace Wins after Ten Rounds, Fought 10
FOrty-fIye Minutes.

NEW ORLEANS, May 10.-Allen was
forced to give UP the fight in the tenth
round, by an arm broken by Mace, who
fell upon it. The ten rounds lasted just
forty-five minutes.
Allen obtained the first knock down,
and Mace the first blood.
The lighting began spiritedly and warm
and was continued sharply to the close.
II was apparent from the first that
Mace was the better man, as his blows
were dealt with more effect and told more
upon his opponent. The tactics of Mace
were better also, and showed him to be
possessed of a larger experience and
something more than could be acquired
by the practice Alien has had.
Up 70 the sixth and seventh rounds
neither had received severe punishment,
but in the last two or three Allen was
terribly cut up, so that had he not been
forced TO discontinue by reason Of the ac-
cident, it is doubtful whether he could
have stood for a much longer time the
punishment he was receiving. Mace was
but slightly injured, and stepped out Of
the hela quite fresh
The ring was IocGted upon the Jackson
railroad about thirteen miles out, and
stakes were pitched at quite an early
hour, but sofne little time elapsed in ar
ranging the preliminaries. The number
in attendance was very large, but no seri-
Gus disturbance occurred during the pro-
gress Of the tight. Betting was not as free
a. usual. and Aliens friends declined
odds after the second round. The entire
party returned to the city by noon.

about even up to this point, but Mace

easily stopped by Mace, who landed
hot one on Aliens mouth and punched
away at his ribs without an effective re-
turn. Fast fighting then ensued, Allen
