A despatch was received Friday night by Mrs. CORR, 121 Brussels Street, stating that her brother, Richard J. NAGLE had died at that place. No particulars were given. The deceased belonged to St. John and lived here up to nearly five years ago. He kept a saloon and sporting resort on Union Street. Possessed of splendid physique, Nagle took naturally to athletic sports, but was most proficient in boxing and rowing. He was a fine oarsman. He rowed his first race in the harbor in 1878, defeating Nickerson. Soon after he was matched against John McLEOD. The race took place on the Kennebecasis and Nagle won easily. He got plenty of aquatic knowledge that year for he trained with Edward HANLAN on the Kennebecasis before the Hanlan-Ross race. In 1879 Nagle visited Philadelphia where he defeated Ellis Ward, champion of the Quaker city. He afterwards defeated Elijah ROSS twice, but was beaten by John McKAY at Westfield. Nagle was the winner of the single scull race in the harbor in the regatta of 1883, defeating McCormick. He was also in the winning crew in the four-oared race. Nagle's last race was with Hugh McCORMICK on the Kennebecasis. He was out of condition and was easily beaten. Nagle's reputation as a boxer was a local one. He was a scientiic sparrer and when in good condition was capable of putting up a good fight. He made a match with Jack POWER in June 1890, the battle taking place at Vanceboro. Nagle was knocked out in the first round. He left here in 1891, first going to Boston, thence to Denver. From there he went to Salt Lake City and finally to Vallejo where he obtained a position as head bartender in the leading hotel. He was a member of the fire dept. and a recent act of bravery made him popular. He was 37 years of age.
