the mare WAS merely overstrained. The
spell of the "pluger's" success having been
broken, the English are drubbing him

Another Mill Likely.

There is quite a sensation in sporting
circles over proposed fight for s.. 900 and
the championship of middle-Weigbts of
America between Prof. VIM. C. Mcclellan
and sPete Mccoy. For some time past
Mccoy has been issuing challenges to
fight any middle-weight in America for
$500 or $1,000 side. At one time
it appeared that all the middle
weights were afraid to meet him,
although he never fought in the
ring; but at last one has come forward to
give him battle. On May Is, VIM. Mad
den, the retired pugilist and manager for
Charley Mitchell, called at the Police Ga
zette office with Prof. VIM. G. Mcclellan.
and posted $3.50 with Richard X. Fox to
give consistency to the following card:
NEW YORK, May 10, 1888.
$40 the Sporting Editor Of the Police Ga
zette:
'SIR-Having read so many challenges
and bluffs from Pete Mccoy (who,
although he never fought prize fight,
styles himself champion pugilist of New
Jersey, wherein he states he is ready to
fight any middle-weightl pugilist in
America for 5000 or $1,000 a side, have
decided to put him to the test, confident
that L can prove he is by no means the
best middle-weight in America. With
this design, | hereby challenge him to
fight me a fair, stand-up prize fight, ac-
cOrding to the new rules of the
London prize ring, for $1,000 a side
and the middle-weight championship of
America. To prove mean business, my
hacker, VIM. Madden, has this day post
ed the sum of $3.50 with Richard X. Fox,
who will suit me for final stakeholder. l
will fight Mccoy four weeks from signing
articles, within 100 miles of Pittsburg,
Pa, or within the same distance of Butfa-
10, n. Y. l will meet Mccoy and his back
ers at the Police Gazette office any day he
names. Hoping that he will prove, by
promptly appearing and arranging a
match, that he is as ready to fight as to
challenge, | remain yours, truly,
''PROF. VIM. q. MCCLELLAN"
VIM. Madden has, as stated, posted the
$3.50 with the Police Gazette to back Nc
Clellan, and if1McCoy's recent challenges
were in earnest he will have to either
