LONDON, Aug. 20.---The Pritchard-
Hall fight was managed with great
secrecy, very few persons knowing when
or where it was to come off IL was
generally thought that it would not take
place until Monday, but in this case
general opinion was all wrong. There
We're present at the fight only 80 or 40
of the principal supporters Of the com
batants. The weather was line and the
sun was shining brightly as the men
| appeared in the ring.
| Pritchard was seconded by Jack Bal
deick and Sam Blackjack, while Charlie
Mitchell and Charlie Rowcll acted in a
similar capacity for Hall. There was
very little betting, but what was laid
showed that Prilchard was rather the
iavorite.
Both men when stripped showed up
| in good condition. From the moment
the first blow was struck, the battle was
waged fast and furiously. Hall was
much taller than his antagonist and he
soon showed that he was quite as clever
with his hands as Pritchald. With his
extra long reach he had decided ad-
vantage, Pritchard tried hard to break
through Halls guard, but every time he
attempted it he was promptly met by
the Australians left.
In the second round Pritchard seemed
to fare better. In this round he de-
livered heavy blow with his right,
which striking Hall square, sent him to
grass. Hall lay helpless for some time.
When he rallied he was apparently as
fresh as ever, and when the fighting
was resumed he boxed as fast as lis OPP
ponent until the end of the round.
The third round was much in favor
of Hall, who seemed to demoralizc
Pritchard with his heavy blows in the
face.
In the fourth round Hall followed up
his advantage and landed two severe
blows on Pritchard, one on his chin and
one on the side of his head, which sent
Pritchard to the ground. When time
was called, Pritchard was unable to re-
spond and Hall was declared the winner.

Parties and Sharers in Profits.
New York Herald.
Apropos of the increasing frequency of
strikes the recommendations Of President
NJ. h. ingalls, of the Chesapeake & Ohio
and Big -Four railroads, to Observation-Disclosures
OF the former company i'll Lis annual re-
port just issued, will be of special interest
to railroad managers as well asto the army
of employees.
President ingalls, thinks that co.opcra-
tive plan Of profit sharing with the men
is the best method of meeting the grow
ing difficulties of the labor problem. This
plan Of placating and interesting the men
would be decidedly new departure in
rnilroading' None Of the large railroads
and, so far as known, only one smaller
company has tried the cooperative method.
The Board of Directors Of tho Chesa-
peake x Ohio railroad has thoroughly dis
cussed the question and agrees with Mr..
Ingalls, in the efficacy of the proposed
plan. He says in the forthcoming report /;
ESTABLISH A COMMUNITY OF INTEREST
''fhe problem of the future i'll railway

fair return to investors while rates are CON
tinually going down and wages are ill.,
creasing. a large portion of the time of
your officers and managers is taken up
meeting and consulting and discussing
with the organized bodies Of labor oil the
road the question OF wages. &c Your
| directors would recommend to the stock
holders to consider the plan Of establishing
u community of interest with the en-
ploycs. If the company has arrived at a
financial position, rs your directors think
| it has, wyen it can safely be expected to
earn its fixed charges and asurpius they
would recommend that the surplus he
| equally divided with the employees

| for the stockholders and one per cent tC
| the employees. An employee, then, whc
| had served for the entire year without
accident caused by his own negligence
would receive his one per cent OH the
amount of his pay.
AS the earnings of the company in
crease the percentage will be still larger. In
any event, the employees would still receive
regular compensation and would also share
to some extent in whatever prosperity the
company had. Wherever this has Leei
tried in manufacturing Gompa' les it has
worked well and has also been successfully
adopted on one Of the French railways

that the stockholders appoint a committee
to consider the matter and to take such
measures as will legali:c any action Of the

In the meantime considerable gossip
has been caused in certain circles by the
sudden departure yesterday for Europe
of A. r. Cassatt, one of the directors
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. In
innate friends of Mr.. Cassatt say that
they know that he has arranged 10 take
his family to Saratoga and Long Branch
for the season. To the amazcment
Of his family he came home one
day and ordered that all be ready to
sail for Europe within three days Of
that time. Mr.. Cassatt met Mr. Roberts
in London and the gossips say that the
foreign stockholders are ready to sup
port the former for president. Not a
word has been heard from Cassatt yet
and his plans are still kept dark.

Frank Thompson, the first vice presi.

Henry G.Moore OF Philadelphia,s well-known
man-about-town, was yesterday sentenced to
undergo an imprisonment for two months and
to pay o fine Of $500, he having previously
pleaded guilty to q charge of marital infidelity
preferred by his wife, Gertrude Moore. Moore
is the son Of a millionaire whisky distiller, and
his sentence to prison marks the latest stage Of
a career that has extended over a number Of
years. When he appeared at the bar to receive
his sentence his appearance bore out his coun-
sells statement that he was suffering in mind
and body. Moore, not long ago. was convicted
in Camden OF marital infdelity. but he got of
with light sentence. He could not remem-
Der" whether or not there had been any other
convictions recorded against him on the same
charge.
Mrs. Moore testified that her husband was
not living with her, but allowed her S600 a
month. She said further that the prosecution
was brought at the instance Of Moore's OWE
father
