An ImprOmptu Singing Ma'

AVE-" INN
and l O'Clock this morning 8 select
number OF sporting men and ex-pugil-
lists were enjoying a social time in a
well-known sporting resort, when a
discussion arose as to the relative
pugilistic abilities Of Tommy Warren,
| the Western champion feather weight,
and the well-known 128-pound boxer
of this city, Johnny Terrell. Both
were present. Warren, after knock
ing out Andy Hanly a short time ago,
expressed a willingness to meet Ferrel
for fun or money. This willingness
was expressed by Warren at the
gathering referred to. Ferrell was
agreeable, and the party adjourned to
a room upstairs, where two-ounce
gloves were produced, which the
pugilists donned at once. The party,
which numbered about 20, appointed
themselves individually and collect
lively both referees and timekeepers,
and time was called for a set-to. The
first round was very tame, only light
sparring being INDUCED in, but in the
second round, which was allowed to
run into five or six minutes, because
OF the intense attention OF all the
referees the men were urged by the
party, and becoming warmed up,
slugged at each other to their utmost
ability. Both were much winded
when they retired, Warren getting a
black welt under his left eye. From
this point, owing to the ~exhilirating
condition Of those present, the stories
vary as to the continuance of the inn
prolnptu mill. Ferrell's friends, who
were present, claim that three more
rounds were fought, and that in the
fifth Warren was knocked down and
could not proceed. Warren, who was
met with at Joe Coburn's tonight,
stated that only two rounds were
fought, and that the fight was stopped
by the appearance of the police.
