Prize Fights.

--A prize fight between John Woods and George King, took place Wednesday, in the neighborhood of New York. Woods was the victor, by a "foul" fall on the part of King, after a contest of fifty-five rounds, lasting one hour and fifteen minutes. Woods, though receiving considerable bruising, concluded almost every round by knocking down or throwing his adversary. William O'Neill of Worcester, Mass., and Michael Fritz, of Providence, fought a prize fight for $1,000, near Portland, Me., on Monday. After a plucky contest of four hours and twenty minutes, Fritz received a foul blow from his adversary, and was declared the winner.
