A nare-knuekIe Prize Fight.

MILFORD. March 20.-Local sports and
two or three travelling men hastily got up
a four-round prize-fight Friday evening
last. between Joshua Crow and Perry
Fletcher, both colored and equally matched
as to weight, height ard reach. Grow is
about feet high and weighs 1865 pounds
while Fletcher is the same in height and
weighs about ITO pounds. At II O'Clock at
night the principals, with their seconds
the referee and half dozen white
sports, aud twice as many colored ones re.
paired to the quiet neighborhood at the
depot. and under the glare of an electric
street lamp the battle began. -Four ROUNDS
were to be fought for the small purse of
50 offered, with bare knuckles. The first
round was rather tame, but in the second
round some sharp and quick work was
done. Crow hit his opponent asavage blow
in the forehead and as he was about going
down he hit him the second blow, which
had the effect of strengthening him upon
mis- feet again. From this time 10 the end
of the fourth round there was some hard
lighting, blow after blow being exchanged
in rapid succession, though neither of the
combaiants was once knocked down. Both
principals were very groggy and the referee
decided the battle draw and divided the
purse between the two.
