He waa ant matehed against the clever Ed.

They met ataprlvalo bouse In Cherry street, April IBtb, 1801, and after fighting 40 nonds la 01 mlnstes, the seconds of Tonhey threw up the sponge for him. lOnbey baA' by far tlie best selonce, nailing his opponent heavily on Iho face arnry time be mabed In, but Owney's supsrlority of wrestling gained him the victory, aa ho eoDid throw Toubey every round with violence on the loor.and lbs KpeatedheavyfaUaatlaat bid their effect Ihanllrely weakening blm. BInoe that time, although he baa repealedly chaUenged other pnglllals in tbo cl^. yet In consequence of not being able to eonie to terms, hft baa been nnabte to get on a nalcb until the pruent time. _ Tlie pfice aeleeled Cor the fight was a anot near Oboese Creek, Illddlesei County, N. J., about three inllea from Boulb Amboy. Tbe Bleamtng John Tracy waa cbartxrcd by Harry BU), of the Honiton SIreetEicbange, to conn? a select and limited number of geatlemen to Iho place; It being given ont that a flahlng ex- cursion was the nonunal object of the trip, at 13 a head for the Journey. The rendezvoua waa the Oltynatel,ln Jersey City, and by 2 o'clock, A. M., after a smart obaae by Ibe blue bolUee, wo foiud onraclveaon board with aome fifty others, tbe minority belonging to the upper atrata of society. After a long ana todi- ooa voyage we found ourselves oinaslte the appointed spot, but unfottunstely tbe tag bad run onraand-bar, and the paaaengets were obliged to Und la small bonte; a proceee which ocoupled sometime. On landing we met Sam Davte and Dan Kerrigan, who Informed ua that the fight bad notoommenoed, norvraa tnoro any prospeet of Ite coming off, aa the Sheriff waa preaent, and had read the alatnte lawa of Now Jersey against piue fiahllog, warning all pr«aent--and especially the principals—of tas oon< aequences that wonld inerltebly follow If Ue fight waa persisted in. Oram was.wttllng lo go to snolher spot, but Oeogbegan was determlnedtofightthen and there. Theaberiff, Indeed, bad ar- realod Dan Kerrigan, who waa one of Orem'a trainers snd sso- ouas,sadthe Utter only escaped by giving him tbo allp, and plunging lato the thick wcoda aronud. Arriving at the spot we found about a thonaand people aaaem. bled, the rougbeat crowd, without exception, we ever wllneMcd, Oram wu ellUng alone, cool and coUeoted, and apparsstly friendless in tbe ring, his seconds having deaerted him, asd bis frienda. If he had any, evidently too much afraid of the lawless characlars present, to msslfeet openly their sympslhy aad fealluis. Elere oconrred tbe dlfflonlty of getUag aeooada for Orem, aa none were willing to act forhbn. At laat Kit Duma waa named, aad althoagh be openly doolared that he bad money hot on OeogbMan, Orem eapreased bla perfect wlUlngneas lo ao- cept bU aervnss. The other second wu found to Iteddy, who boldly volunteered bla sId, so that Orem might have a fair ahow. And now a second difficulty arose In a choice of a referee; Jim Irving, Harry Hill, and tbe reproaenteUvo of some aowspaper lielns all named, but all rcfnecd to act. At laat a penon named Charley Uoore, whom few knew, and wbo was ovldently pro- foundly Ignorant of the rulaa of the ring, orattheleailhad atroDg partisan feelings, either volunteered or waa cboaen to fill the olflce. Nick Smith aad Cllprar acted aa Owoey'e seconds. Tbe colors of Orem wore bine ellk, with white spot and white b'trder; Oeogbegau'a were green with red border, and embroider- ed harp Is each corner. At tweaty-five mlautea paat seven o'clock A. H., time was called, and the men advanced to the torateb, and ahook bands, the Colorado Champion being greeted with the flltbleat epitheto and hooUnga by the bmlal crowd outside, white Oeogbegan waa warmly cheered. It waa clearly evidsst tliat the fight could only have one termlaatlon, from tbe feeling nusUcated by the Bob. Bound 1. As they alood facing each other, Orcm'e snperior height and aize waa evident; hla form la.splendidly developed, the muscles being very nromlaenl. He was not bi that fine con- dition that be ought to have been. In conaequeace of the ehort time allowed for preparallon. Hla opponent, wbo had been an- ticipating a match, waa In Dir belter trim. In feel, he waa In the perfection of ooniltlOD. Tbe poaltlon of both waa excellent and artlaUo In the hlgheat degree. Conworobuckaklnbrwches, with a red ater worked in each upper comer, white boae. and the orthodox fighting ahocs. Owney had on white flannel knee- broeobca, and white hose. After some little sparring for an opening, Owney daabod In hte laft fair on the cheek. Con countering him well on the ribs. Oeogbegan InmiedUtely dropped before coming to s close, snd an appeu was made lo the referee, that be had cone down without a blow, but the order waa to "fight on." Tremendous cheering from tho Owenltes. a. aeogbegan again opened the ball by getting home with the left on the dial, but receiving a warm one on tbe body, and drop- ping lumedtelely. Loud cheers from hte party, and offers to bet SOO to (20 on his winning. 3. Both anawered tbe call of time promptly, and came np amlllng to Ibe acrateb. They counlared together, Orem plant- ing a terrific hit on the body, knocking hla opponent nearly Ihronahtberopos. First knock down for Colorsdo. 4. No lime Waa loot la getting to work, both nca going at II with a will. Orem getting taomeheavUy on tbe rite, and Osoghe- San returning on tbe dial, drawing first blood, and winning the rst event. In lbs atmggle fOr tbe tail, Oeogbegan waa thrown. 0. Both aparred aome time for an opening. Owny acoused Oram of bavtog some substance in hte baud, and the latter leav- teg blmaelf unguarded, received a bet 'on oa the noaa, which lumed on the tep freely, and then Oeoghrgan dropped immedi- ately to avoid a retnm. Trcmendoiu obeenng from Oeogbegan'a friends. A. As Orom came to the aoratob, he waa greeted wllh derlalve lasgbter, and yella of "Look at the fellow's ncse," "Ba.can't fight," etc. Orem bore the teunte aOsatly, deigning ao mply, bat hte determteed oipreaslon of eonatenaacs ahowed that he meant mischief. Oeogbegan led off on tb« face, aad Jumped away to avoid a retnm; but Orem followed him up, anddeUv- ered a tarrlflo right-hander oa the rlbe, which floored him like a shot. 7. At the commencemont of this ronnd, Googhegan was goDty of an act which wUl ever reflect the deepeat dugraee on hUn aa a boxer, and which no anbsequ^t condort on hla part can ever wipe out. On coming to Ibe acrateb, bo dellberalelyapat la hte opponent'a face. He led off, but waa abort, and some smart ex- changee followed: In the ellnch, Orem wont doim undemeath^ Great cheering for aeogtaegan. 8. Oeogbegan led off on tbe ribs wllh bis left, getting tbe right home heavily on. the left eye, and then dropped to avoid. Hte friende wet« In ecatades, and most tnmultuona In thete stw plause, aa Owney bad decidedly the best of tbe roand. 0. Orem waited nntelly nutU Oeogbegan approached the ecrsteb, when, with a terrific right-hander, be aent him down like a log to hte own comer, and walked uncoaoemedly away. 10. Tble waa a well fought round, the exchaogea belag hot aad heavy; the Colorado boyhad decidedly the beat of ItTaa hte de- Uverlca on the body were fearfoUy heavy. Oeogbegan, to avoid poatebmont, dropped wllhoot a blow, and altbongh an appeal waa made, tho referee, as on every previous occaalon, refbiod to listen to 11, although he warned Oeogbegan to be more carefnl. Vtae conduct of the oatelders at this time waa dlsgracafnlln the hlgheat degree, and It waa evident that the attasger wonld not be allowed to vrtn, eves If, as many eeemod to bulere, he waa able to do ao. The laaue waa predetennteed. 11. Oeogbegan'a left eye exhibited nnmlstskaUo avldenoea of Orem'a vteltanona. Some tUne waa apeni in apairlng, to gain ■ little wind: Orem remarking, "Ihere'a no nae belngln a htirry we have all the day bafbra na." Ownay replied, "Unleaa we do different to tbte, we shall fight luUI dark." The expreealona of the one-aided crowd were dlagracefol and derlalve, and by no meana calculated to have an Inspiriting effect on the Colorado alranger, but he aeemed to treat them with the contempt they deeorved. Oeogeghan led off wllh atlogteg aeverily on the duf, reoelvlog a teriUo counter on the ribe, and then immediately dropped. I'i. Orem, aa he came npat tbe call of "time," smiled pteaiantly and patthig tho aide or hte noae, he remarked to tale oppo- nent, "ThletethepUceyonabouldblL" aeogbegan apparently followed hla advice, for be got In a atlngcr on tbe left eye, but Con countered with severity, and In the clinch hte anperior wreetllng ablllUca enabled blm to throw hte aalagoatei: 18. Oeoahtgaa waa qolck In leading off, getting In a heavy riRbt-handeron thenoeO, but napping It holly on theribain return. Ho tried again, and plaated two naaty hlte on the chest and (hroal,and tbeawant down without a blow. Another ap- peal, not allowed, but Oeogbegan again vraraed. 14. Long time spent In feinting, when at laat Oram planked heavily on tho body, oloeed, and threw Oeogbegan easllT. 19. Oram, who bad taken tbe lead In the lait few ronnda. knodied hte man otean down by a toemendous right-bsndor on tbe body, and walked qntelly to hte oomar. Oeoghegan'a Menda in high conatenatfon. 10- Both ready at the caU of time; aome sparring, which aeemed to tire Orom, u he put down hte haada and began uhlatllng. Oeoghegan aelsed Iheopporionlty.got laaratUer on the dial, and dropped like a ahoc. Appoallng waa naeleaa. Benovred cheering ftom Owney'a party, who tried byTvCry con- ceivable expreaalon to Intimidate Orem. 18. Again was there conildeiable time spent tai sparring, nntll at laat both got tired of It, and led off together, Orem fcnocklnR bla man down, and hltthig him a eecond time Jaat aa he toacbeS tbeground. Immediately aa appeal of "foul, foul I" aroae from a thouaand Ihroate, but the referee, although he allowed tbe claim waa well founded, decided that the fight nuit proceed; Oeoahe- lan bad ao repeatedly donewmng.hy {oing down without a ilow, that ho wonld overlook thie act of Oreu'e, He. however. oauUoned blm agelnat Ite repetition.

Tlien eneued a aoene of tho meet Indescribable'coofuslon, the Oeogbegan party yelling "foull" In the wlldtat manner, asd aorroundlsg the refene, d^ mauded a dcFlalon In hte favor. Ptetob were drawn, and one eioltsd follow, preatnting a revolver at tbe referoe'e head, awore that heahould decree "fbnl" Amidst tho threala, nolae. and uproar, tlie referee decided that Orem had alrack Ibul. and loot tbe fight, which bad laated exactly 33 minutes. TbDsondod, in tbe most nnutlslaototy manner, thte fight, which It bad beea confidenlly anticipated would have proved one of iho beat wv have had for a long time In the American Prlxe Blag.
