much worse. Wecden showed the cut under his
right eye the cash over his nose. or rather
10 the right Of it his damaged ear and his
lumpy left face, hut il was not discolored to
any extent. At the end of this round Weed
EMS friends were wild with joy.
On the 10Th and last round Walker had
not recovered from the fall and punishment
Of the round, and he came up staggering. To
show his bewildcred state his hands were open
and hanging by his side, though instinctiveiy
he culched them for an instant but did moi
bring them into position. He should not
have been sem up by his seconds in this terri
BILE condition. Weeden, perceiving his plight,
rushed at him with his whole might, smashed
him with his right and left with the force Of
cannon balls, and, then catching him, flung
him down and again fell on him with his full
weight A cry went up TO heaven from the
more tender hearted at the cruel exhibition,
while Weedens friends cheered him until
they were boarsc. Referee Gormly called
thine for the next round and Wceden re-
sponded but poor Walker still lay on the
ground, and was insensibe, wholly oblvions
of where be was and what he had been doing
So Collyer threw up the sponge ia token Of
defeat and then Madden and he picking mp
The still insensible Billy, laid him in some
brush wood, awaiting his return TO conscious
ness. Ii WAS now fifty-fve minutes past eight,
the fight lasting just two hours
Thursday night the body of Walker was
found on the "Salt Works wharf" where
only short time before he had gone off to
secure what he thought would be a gallant
victory. His body was removed 10 The resi-
dence Of his parents, at I'd and Wharton
streets. Weeden, his second Walker, his
trainer John Clark, and three other partici-
pants in the fight have been arrested.

To the Ladies.

No section of the State can boast of more
beautiful Fair Grounds than ours and the dis
play of stock and implements is generally most
creditable. The management has always been
admirable, and errors have been corrected
wherever ii has been practicable to do so. In
one thing, however, we are sadly behind our
ncighbors of Frederick, and that too in a
department for which the ladies are RESPONSE
ble We know that the wives and daughters
OF Montgomery are the peers of their sisters
in our adjacent county, and it cannot be that
they are lacking in public spirit. How is it
then that the culinary and household depart
ment at the Frederick Fair is so wonderful in
extent and attractive in beauty, while ours
too often presents "beggarly array ofemply'
cases
Our ladies are celebrated for their skill in
these matters, and yet a visitor to the two
Fairs is forcibly struck with the superiority
Of the Frederick exhibit If each lady will
take but single article we will be enabled to
present our visitors with display that will
interest and instruct them Each lady exh-
bitor obtains free admission.

The Fatal Prize Fight.

The prize fight which occurred Thursday
morning near Pennsylle, N j opposite New
Castle, Del, resulting in the death of one Of
the principals, was one of the most brutal
events Of the kind ever known in this coun-
try. The surroundings and details were sim
ply shocking. The principals were James
Weeden aud Phil. Coster, otherwise known
as Billy Walker, and the stakes were $500
Both the pugiists were young men, residing
in the old Southwark district, PHILADELPHIA.
from which city the Contestants and over a
thousand spectators departed Wednesday
night on barges and tugboats, landing early
the following morning on the Jersey shore,
the fight beginning at half-past six o clock in
the morning.
Seventy-six rounds we're fought, resulting
in the defeat and death of Walker When
fourteen rounds had been fought Sheriff Geo
Helms, o: Salem. arrived, and ordered the
men 10 stop, but the crowd completely pre-
vented his interference with the sport, heap
ing upon him voley of abuse and
compelling him, by their superior num-
bers, TO leave the scene. 1t is believed that
had he attempted 10 have exercised force he
would have been pounded to death, il not
shot down instanter. When the sheriff left
round fifteen was commenced, and continued
up 10 the seventy-ffth, which was the begin
ming Of the end. Weeden started at once and
peppered Billy in the face terribly with both
hands, and he could not respond, though he
had not been so weak apparently as this state
of affairs would denote. His only return 10
Weeden's savage work, was feeble attempt
with his left, which landed ON W eeden's right
shoulder. Then they clinched and Weeden
gave Walker the back heel and fell on him.
The crack as he struck the ground seeming
like that of a whip. Walker looked very
stupid as he was roughly taken 10 his corner
by his seconds. His face up to this time had
not looked so terribly bad, bat suddenly it
seemed TO grow shapeless and became badly
discoiored. His eyes had been nearly closed
ana his lip greatly swollen, and his left cheek
