JEM MACE IN AMERICA.

I'lIS GREAT GLOVE FIGHT WITH

BILL DAVIS

The "San Francisco Post" gives a full account of this great pugilistic exhibition, Avhich took place in the Horticultural Hall, Sun Francisco, in the presence of thousands of people. The "Post" speaks of Mace as the "Champion puncher of the planet," and of Bill DaA'is, his opponent, as " a . ■ -._;;onal Avho has polished multifarious s_.<:.s in his day, and claims supremacy in . lie Pacific Coast." The affair AA'as attended . ;y m;;uy promiuieiit citizens including even fudges,', id the back part of the hall AA'as packet! with a dense mass of unassorted populace, AA'hile the galleries teemed Avith ;:. "hoodlum" of the city. The " Post" goes on to say :—"The parti t .;,a:ii.--. in this interesting contest were thus enabled to divide public admiration to the .amount of betAveen 1000 dols. and 2000. dols. The masters of ceremonies appeared on the s-.n_._and directed the baud to commence

playing, but the band already having played on! the amount of the appropriation, there t>o response except in the more vigorous -.... -r-i n -audience. Shortly Huced by the Krgen ■tate .0 >n- ad per ,ka ing -ait ;ain , .-._ >OX ing bout. The contestants in this ail'air were Red-Handed Mike of Nebraska, as aforesaid, and Bill Savage of Ncav York, the latter appearing in the tasty uniform of the canal driver—a red shirt and patched breeches. A feAV cat-cuffs Avere exchanged between these worthies, after Avltich an in terval of a full half hour elapsed. The

TUMULTUOUS IMPATIENCE Of the audience finally exhausted itself and subsided into spasmodic howls, with an occasional yell of " Humbug !" About 9.20 interest Avas revived by the appearance of the redoubtable Jem Mace, Big Frank, Hook-nosed Shaughnessey, Patsy Bolivar aud other samples of "America's advance ment " stalking majestically toward the stage. Mr Mace carried a carpet-bag, which he delivered into the hands of an obsequious hoodlum in the Avings, and mo mentarily surveyed the crowd to determine the amount of punching called for by the tribute to his genius. Another twenty minutes were occupied by the champion in adjusting himself to a pair of Avliite pants, Ile appeared upon the stage and exhibited

A RARE MODEL OF SYMMETRY. And muscle from the waist up. Davis ap peared in the conventional costume ol the prize-ring. He had the appearance of a man of 6'o years, and Avas hailed by the audience as "Old Man." In reality ho is hut 45, and his aged aspect Avas due to his sparse capillary adornment, and corrugated, twisted and generally banged-up counten ance—the honourable scars of numerous bulldosing controversies. The glove contest consisted of five hasty rounds and the AA*ind up. There Avas little d-A'ersity in the features of the several rounds, Mr Mace generally cushioning very sharply on the mug of his antagonist one or more times in each. In the second round Mace won FIRST BLOOD By letting out his right maul against Davis' knob like a locomotive taking a snoAvbank. The latter, however, occasion ally got iv a slight muff on the side of the champion's head, but his blows Avere more interesting from the manner in Avhich Mace twisted his agile form and per mitted them to buffet the entrenchant air, OA rer one shoulder or the other as conve nient. The Avind-up Avas lively and close fighting, terminating in Davis being laid against the ropes at the front of the stage. In response to loud cries for " more," the pugilists graciously condescended a dupli cate wind-up, and battered each other very beautifully for half a minute more, when DaA*is gracefully ended the round and like- Avise himself by going doAvn Avith some vio lence. The combatants then retired to the dressing-room, neither any Avorsc for the encounter, and both IN HIGH GLEE Over the profits of the performance. Alto gether the audience Avere treated to a very fair display of fistic science, considering the evident forbearance of the champion toward his antagonist. Mace remarked after the contest that Davis Avas a most capable pugilist, and if there "was any bet tor on the Pacific coast he Avould like to see him. A sporting writer in the " San Francisco Chronicle attributes the victo y of Briseis at the Melbourne races to a fraud. The Avriter says : The Thompson brothers, avlio hail from Westport, Mass., are said to have put up the job, and landed §35,000 by it, leaving the disgusted Britons to slap their empty pocket books and inveigh against " those blawsted Yankees."

George Gordon Bennett's Duel.

HE BOLTS TO EUROPE.

We gave in our issue of Saturday some account of the cow hiding of George Gordon Bennett, proprietor of the "NeAV York Herald," by a certain Dr. May, and that a duel Avas probable. We find, on further reference to the American papers to hand, that tbe duel actually took place. It may be mentioned en passant that Mr Bennett is only following the example of his father in getting horse-whipped. Old George Gordon Bennett frequently underwent this indignity, and in after years, when the " NeAV York Herald" had obtained an established posi tion, and Mr Bennett Avas independent of adventitious notoriety, he was wont to boast that he used to get himself horsewhipped in order to secure prominence for his paper, in which tie invariably published a full account of the contretemps, Avith every possible embellish ment and exaggeration. His son, Avith his im mense income from the " Ncav York Herald," is of course independent of horse-whippings, and his cow-hiding from Dr. May arose from quite another cause. It appears that in 1875 he began to pay his addresses to Miss May, a sister of the cow-hide r, and a date last year was lixed for their marriage. Suddenly, according to the " Ncav York Graphic," HE WENT ON A PROLONGED SPREE, And at such limes he says and does things of which, like many other speaking, he is after wards perfectly ashamed. The marriage was postponed. Mr Bennett, OA*ercome Avith re morse, made such protestations as he could, and aams successful in reinstating himself in his former position of accepted suitor. This Avinter the trousseau arriA'ed from Paris, and it i« said the duty demanded.on it in the custom-house Avas §9,000. December 17th Avas set as the Aved ding day. The marriage was to be very quiet. On the evening of December 16th, Mr Bennett had again lost control of himself. He visited Dr May's house, Avhere his condition Avas at once apparent. To his eA-ident unfitness to take part in a marriage ceremony on the following day, it. is alleged, there was added conduct that Avas specially aggravating and insulting. When he left, the ladies were in tears. This conduct on his last Adsit it Avas, that resulted in the assault on him by Frederick May. THE DUEL. This Avas the result, of the cow-hiding, the dial lenge emanating from Mr Bennett. The meet iug took place on January 9th at Marydell, Maryland; the party carried blankets, oa _er- coats. eases of pistols, and surgical instruments, and they represented themselves to be railway officials. Three shots were tired, and May Avas Avounded in the right breast, near the shoulder joint. May Avas afterwards removed to Wash ington, and was able to telegraph to his friends. Dr Phelps, who was present at the duel, was afterwards arrested and brought before Judge Donohue, at New York, on January 15th, but he refused to answer questions about the duel as being likely to criminate himself. Ho was dis- c v. r^'-d from custody. On the same date May Avii. . epu-tcd dead, 'but tins Avas contradicted by another telegram of the ISth January. _ Iv (act the telegrams are so confused that it is difficult to gather anything like a reliable and authentic account, for on a subsequent date a statement appears that May fired first, and that Bennett fired in tbe air, cryiJis. put that he gave

BENNETT SLIDES FOR EUROPE.
