considerably exercised bout which had been
arranged between mike" Coburn and Dick
Goodwin. alias Spring Dick. Money was
'anteed up quite lively both sides.
and the knowing intimated that it
would be a warm encounter Several times the fight
announced to be on the of coming
on, but somehow there always some
cause for adjournment. Lest night
however. finally fixed for the hstlc
meeting. and Masonic Hall in Thirteenth street was
chosen for the scene Such of the sporting COM
munity az could be confded in apprzed
of the arrangements. and very fair gather
ing was expected last night Nor were the
anticipatons unrealized. Fully hundred fashily at
tired gentlemen had passed into the hall and esconced
themselves in iavorite though not invarao,! gracc
attitudes when an interruption occurred that made
change of programme necessary. This was the snt-
den and unlocked for appearance Of Inspector
Murray and Captain McCullagh Rumors of
meeting bad reached the ears of the
former, which gradually took shape. and
last evening he instructed all the Captains in his dis
trict to keep watchful lookout tor the af-
fair. Captain McCullagh secured the de-
sired information. and when Inspector Muir
ray arrived he posted platoon OF men in
how the principals got wind of the danger and
did not put in appearance, so the
only scapesoat the officers had to pounce
along weighed down by his seventy years and
the sets OF gloves to be nsed in the fight Bill was the
only mortal who. came that way that had
flavor of the ring about him and
implements of the ''manly art upon his
person so he was incontinently taken into custody
and escorted to the station house There he was re-
lieved of the gloves and allowed to go, which he did
after suitably expressing himself on the deseneracy
of the times and the indecorum of interfering with
the gentle pastmes of the evening. Meantime the
hall had been cleared and the patrons of the 'stc"
went away disappointed.
