PIrrsBURG, Jan. 29.-John Mcln-
tosh and Fred McFerron fought prize
fight on Saturday afternoon in shanty
three miles below r. chester, Pa, and
the mill is pronounced ty select circle

Some two years ago Mcintosh had bet
$50 with another party on the result OF
OF a boat-race ard McFerron was
the stakeholder After the race
McFerrun refused to SURF eDder the
money, claiming that the referee OF the
race had made no dec sion. This led
to words, and from words to blows, but
mutual fl iends int.riered. For a year
the two would have a wraBg!e over the
wage every time they met. At last
McIntosh challenged McFerron to fight
in "A foot ring, uitht ut gloves. for
81 900. The latter at first was unable
to raise the amount, but finally some
Pittsburg sports took an interest IN Nc
Ferron, found the ducats. and told HIM
to 90 into training. Two mouths ago
the men began practice. Both are
pretty evenly matched, though Meier.
ron has been suffering from heart dis
ease.

When the men toed the scratch for

like little man, aud when he regained

can't stand in front of you for another
rouud-Pm played out. My Old diseas e
has come back on me, but we may
meet again.
THE ORNAMENTAL TOUCHES.
McFerron had . cash under the chin
two inches long, and his chest was
badly bruised. After the fight a sport
remarked, referring TO the display OF
science made by the combatahts : 81
done think Sullivan can do much
better. Ii he can. ! think he can whil
any n an in the world, but don'1 think
he is much better than either Of those
men. They are as well scienced as
ever saw III a ring, ana I've seen many
prlza fights IN my time.
