The day orlgtnally named for the flght waa Monday, the IXlb Inat,, and the place aelcoted by BUott^s repreaentatlro, who wen the toss for ohelce, waa Camp Scott, Btaton Island. .'Why such a plaoe BhouIdbaTo been fixed upon, It la dlfSoolt to Imagine, as the interference of the authorities there was almost a matter of "certainly- The greatest publicity was glTen to the affair, and, ais 'might have been expeoted, the police authorities soon became cognizant of the eontempiated contest. The Harbor police ro- ceSred instructions to prooeed to the Island, and prevent tho flght coming off; in which object, U will .be seen, thej were no- MSaf^ ' As It WIS genenlly understood the flgbt would tikepla** at daybtesk, a great number went down to; Btaton Island the even- ing previous. All the hotels at OURon, Btapleton, and Quarto- tlaa we're lUled with guests. At the latter place, we dropped Int* NautUua Hall, to see our old Mend Tommy Bnma, who waa io long the popular boat of this beautifully sicqated hotel, bnt 'Whibas recently retired flrom .the business, we. antlolpated ■having Itn pleaanre of bis oompony tha following morning, as we wdl knew, by previous experience, how much bo lovealo witness a really good, aquara bIIL Unfortunately wo found that hla tnalant enemy, Signer Bbeamatlam, bad bad a tussle with him, and placed blm Itort-de^oniljiif, by "Booring" him on hla b'aok, eq , that he couldn't coma to time. Disappointed in onr traveling oompinlon, after aecorlng a conveyance for Oamp Scott next nornlog, we sought a UHie rest. ' Long befoie daylight the next morning, wo were on the way to Oamp Scott, to which plate scores of vehlolea and hundreds of pedestrians were wtndlnA. The spot edeotcd Is about three miles bom Ollfton In the intorlor of the island. On arrl|tng we found tb* ring pitched, and some seven ot eight hun- dred people aaaembled. Both Elliott and Dunn were on the ground, u coachea, with their rcapeoUvefriende,'although the seconds of the former had not arrived, It appeared that KUlott's backers had engaged a tloop to convey themselves and their party to the IsUnd, bnt that It had boon seized hy the Harbor Police, and the whole lot taken back to the city, where they weredlaobsfgad. Thay were aonsequently obliged to wait for tha first ferryboat to the lsland, and tuts delay caused the flgbt to be poslpoiied, El- liott, of coune, would net flght without his sooonds, and tholr arrival had to be aw«!ted. Hoitr after hour passed, and it began to be Whispered around that theUarborPollcaboathad arrived at OURon,' and that their preaenoo might be momentarily expected. Tbe truth of this report waa qnloUy proved, as very soon a strong body of the blue coats were aeon dascenillng tho hill. A . general stampede ensued, alike among tbe carrleges and pedes- trians, and It was an amusing eight to witness the ftantto efforts ^ made to escape ftem tbe pnnnltof tho dreadod oiSoers of the .law. Thelatter,however,male no arreats, their Instructions being mcrolir io prevent the flght taking place. Peroelvlng this, . the fears ot the mnawaya speedily aubalded, and thay gradually returned to the spot. Tho stakes Of the ring, however, were re- moved, and at last, after a long and vexatious delay, flnding there waa no^the allghtost possible chance ot the flght coming off, as the poUee annonoced tbeli Intention of following tbe party wherever they want, a retnm to the olty was agreed upon, . a meong of the baokera appointed to arrange another time Accordingly, Phil Olsre, on the part of Dunn, and one of Elli- «tt s baokert mat; and BnlVs Ferry waa th* plaoe, and 'Wedneaday morning between tbe honre of 5 and T o'clock, the time appointed forthesaocnd meeting et the man. All night long, oarrlaaos were passing over the Canal and Bfrday street ferries to Hobo- ' ken, en fvu/t for the battle ground. No attempt was made by the • autkorltlea to stop the departure of the orowd, probably owing to their being Ignorant of the contemplated mlU, Onarrlflng ■ at TTeohawken, we found th* hotolot tbe.Jovlal'andgood hu- jnored Ed, Wilson orowd^d with thirsty wayfarers, whose wants the smiling'host was acUvoly engaged In soppiylng.

Precisely at 0:19, ','tlffle" waa called, and the flght commenced. .' . . THE yiOBT.. -'.-4 Bednd i;' As tho men toed tbe aoratob, tho contrsn waa marked between tbe two men. Elliott loomed over hla opponent, who,.by the comparison* seemed a less man than he aoroally Is. 1h» former weighed about' 170 lbs., while Dnnif was in :the naUinbbthood ot ISO lbs. Both were In sdmlrable oondltlon, eipeolally Elllolt, whose moscloa on the shoulders, arms, and ohest.'w'ere splendidly developed; Indeed, he looked sperfaot ;rbqttifal Hercules. .Dunn la of a qore slender and elegant 1 Igor*, bnt his muscles had not an onnoe of snperflnou flesh xm them, while his bright eye, clear complexion, and. Arm, elaaUo step showed he was In the perfection ot bealUi and condition. Bls 'poBlUon waa excallant, alike for o'ffonceand defenoe, his niarl being partllnlarly good. Elliott alao stood well, keeping lis left and rlgbl'allemaiW[ In forward motion. After sparring for seme time, Dann led off with the leR,'aBd got home llgbtly on tha ribs, reeslvlng In return a rattler;on the left eye, and oroBs-connterlng heavily on th* brow, whfOh raised a lump Im- mediately. They olosed and struggled for the throw, ending by both goug down toielher, Dunn nnder, "First bl9<A" was dlalmsd by the saceBOs of both, but net allowed. 9, Both sprang up promptly whan time waa oaUfiO. Tbe efftsta et tbe laat rennd were plainly pataepUble, Dunn's left eye being in meumlng, and a brae Inmp over i;illott's peapar. Both Bf arrad for an epanlag, and at length Elliott led off and Bent In bis left straight on Dnnn'a damaged peeper, drawing blood, but napping a haavy rlbber In return. After aeme good exohaagas at long shets, they oloeed, and Dunn fought. Elliott down, amid ike mcstuproarons sbaarloa fcom hla puty. First blood for XUlott waa claimed acl all6wed. I. 4ft*r aeiae aUrmlahlBg, EUlott got in heavily on the lAjured eye, nearly alcaiBg tbe shatters. Dunn waa not Idle, bnt ad- salnlatered a warm rlb-reaaler Inretam.

Elliott's eye was nearly doaed and hla forehead swoUea; wblls one of Dunn's peepers had adopted the early oloalng movement. After eparrlng some time, Duno led off, but Elllote Jnmped back; amid crlee of "Oo in, ElllottI" be came up again, khd rushing in, was met with a tremendous right-hander on the ribs, but getting home cffeoUvaly twloo on the (kce. Some'merry exchangee fallowed, both men being'oo- caslonally out of distance. In the close, Elllett threw his man cleverly, amid tremendous eheerlng, and offers to bet $100 to $iO on his winning. t. Both men had evidently their orders to adopt tbe cantlouB kystam of tactics, aa neither seemed wUllng to assnme the offen- sive. At length, Dunn, flnding his opponent would dot begin, led off, bnt missed. Breaking ground, they met again, and, El- liott tried his left bnt waa short, and Doon countered him on tho m9Bth, receiving a hot 'on on the cheek.

Up to this time, there was bnt little dlfferenbe In the amount of pmnlahment received, and although Elliott's friends, bavini th* longest .purses, ofartd odds on bis winning, yet in reality 1, was aa even thing. Dnnn tried'bis left, but wa# cleverly stopped. Heavy exchanges on'the dial and body followed, tnd after a pause, they met again In the centre of the ring to renew their mutual hitting. .At laat Elliott dropped, receiving, as he did se, a smart upper cut. Hit aeconds appealed, on the ground that Dnnn hit him while he waa on the ground, but the claim wis not allowed. 9, Both came no as ttrobg as ever. Elliott led off; Vutmlsstd his mkn.

Uore Ume wasted In sparring, Dnnn point- ing to the soratch and calling on Elliott to meet blm at It, and not keep In bis own comer. Following him np, he again dashed in his right heavily on the ribe and retreated. Again more spar- ring, EUlott mablng in and Dnnn rotreatlng.

Tired of this waiting game, Dunn went to bis man, and soma good flght- lng ensued, the exobanges being heavy and equal on both sides. In the.rally, EUlott pressed Dunn on to the ropee, whloh had become looee and Blackened, causing JUm to (kU over them. In this poalUon Elliott etmok blm reveral times In the (ace, jthen hla aeconds claimed the flgbt on the groand o( "foql," aysglng that Dunn was on the gronud when thus hit. The referee d^ oldad that EUlott had lost the flght, and that Dniut was the vlo- tor.. The time was exactly 8t mlnntos. A scene o( thegreateat disorder and confusion followed the anhouhoemenl{o( the referee's deolelon; EUlott'* party main- tained that Dunn was not on tbe ground but lying on the ropes, whloh prevented his going down. With this, however, we have nothing to do, aa the decision of the referee must be accepted as coneluBlve. Ho was mntuaUy aeleoted, and both parUea agreed to he bound j»y hla. decision, and his high, honorable oharaoter as a aportlng man- gives weight to the correctnees of his decision.
