causing great deal of excitement
among the friends OF the fighters.
NEW York, December 10.-Between
u and l O'Clock this morning a select
number Of sporting men and ex-pugil-
lists were enjoying a social time IN a
weil-known sporting resort. when uis
cussion arose as 10 the relative pugili tic
abilities of Tommy Warren, western
champion feather-weight, and the well
known l2S-pOund boxer Of this city,
Johnny Farrell. Both. were present.
Warm, after knocking out Andy
Hsnly, q short time ago, expressed a
Willingness 10 meet Farrell for fun or
money. This Willingness was expressed
by Warren az the gathering referred to .
Farrell was agreeable and the party
adjourned TO a room upstairs where
tHo-ounce gloves were produced which
the pugilists donned at once. The
party, which mum bered about twenty.
appointed themselves individually and
collectively both referees and time
keepers and time was called for a set to.
Ihe nrst round was very tame. only

the second round. which was allowed
20 run into 1--WE OF six minutes, because
OF the intense attention of all
the referees, the men were urged
by the party, and becoming
warmed up, slugged each other to their
utmost ability. Both were much wirded
when they retired, Warren getting q
black welt under his left eye. From
this point, owing TO exhiliarated con-
ditiOn of those present, the stories vary
to the continuance of the impromptu
mill. Farrell's friendsl who were
present claim that three more rou ads
were fought and that in the fifth
Warren was knocked down and could
not proceed. Warren, who was met
with Joe COburn, TO night, stated that
only two rounds were fought and that
the fight WIS stopped by the appear
.ance Of the police.
