The Daily Dispatch: January 16, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
ance of the ugly weather, the usual preliminaries were arranged, and the fight commenced. As we were not a spectator of this refined exhibition, we cannot enter into details; but we bear that the match was for $100 aside; that they fought twenty two rounds in thirty-five minutes, and that the Irishman was declared the victor. Indeed, it has been stated that the Englishman was a "used up" individual; in two words, badly whipped. This is all we have heard about the matter. We have since received a communication from a witness of the fight, who says it took place on Drewry's farm; that one of the principals was a "Plaster," and the other a "New York boy;" that they fought 26 rounds in 25 minutes, and in the last round the "New York boy" hit the "Plaster" between the "wind and water," and made him "go under like an eel." It is further stated that about 300 spectators were present. Who will say now that Richmond is behind the Northern cities in the great elements of civilization?
