part of the ring. Cheers for both. Barney, undeniable, bored him to the stakes; but Frank, after a hearty job, closed with him, and went down.

9. Barney covered his man, and played him to the corner of the ring. Frank backed out as long as he had space, then hit out. Barney closed, and endeavoured to hold his head and fib him. Redman, not pleased, struggled for the fall or a break-loose, and at length succeeded in tripping his customer.

10. The odds were well-established on Redman at 6 to 4, and the givers on the Jew were in trouble. Frank still met him with the left, and planted a swinging body blow, though Barney was active in returning left and right.

11. Loud shouts for Redman, and exclamations of "he has won it." Barney fought at the body, but was stopped. Barney caught pepper on the head again. Barney still rushing, and Frank went down to avoid Barney punishing him going.

For the next three rounds Frank showed off, but at the end of the 15th, his constitution began to exhibit symptoms of weakness; while Barney, though he bore all the marks of severe punishment, was evidently fresher and stronger. Barney was then sent in to counter, and pursuing that system, he began gradually to resume the lead.

The 19th round was one of great severity. Both men turned to for slaughter; but the Jew had the best of it from sheer strength. After that Barney decidedly became the favourite. Redman, though he had not received a blow of any consequence for more than half an hour, was now obliged to take more than he desired from inability to keep his guard up,

and his returns were nerveless and ineffective. Barney pursued one system to the end; he covered his man, and faced him to the ropes, never attempted to stop, and punished away left and right while Redman was on his legs.

In the 30th round Frank appeared to revive a little, but it was but the glimmer of the taper. He continued, however, to stand his ground with undaunted courage for an hour and twelve minutes, when Nature gave in for him after forty-two rounds.

Reflections.

Redman was beaten before he gave a blow, and Barney won after he got all the punishment. They are both rare good ones for pluck, but Frank's race-horse condition is unequal to competition with the Suffolk-punch frame of his rival. This is the second time he has been whopped; and if Redman attempts again another mecting, the tender mercy of the Fancy must in conscience forbid the bands.

MILL BETWEEN THE RIVAL JARVIES, KNOWN BY THE NAMES OF EKIN AND EDWARDS.

The above mill excited but little interest in the Fancy, on Monday last [Sept. 3, 1827], except amongst the "knights of the whip," who mustered strongly upon the occasion. Old Oak Common was the first office given for the dragsmen to assemble; but the traps having previously got the scent, pronounced it "no go." The place was then fixed by Joe Fishwick, in a meadow near the Welch Harp, on the Edgeware-road. Between three and four o'clock in the afternoon, the coves peeled. Edwards was attended by Harry Jones and an Irish jontleman, of the name of Flinn; and Ekins was seconded by Williams and

Blenheim. For sixty-five rounds the Jarvies were highly amused by the tactics of the combatants; but whose milling talents were not of sufficient importance to detail to the Amateurs in general. Ed

wards was known by his defeat with Harry Jones a few years since, and Ekins had often amused himself with a variety of turn-ups. Edwards was too long for his opponent, and got the whip-hand of him in style. Ekin's nob served Edwards as a sort of drum. The seconds of Ekins, finding it was of no use to continue the mill, very prudently gave in for him. The battle was for £10 a side.

THE MILL BETWEEN THE TWO "MIKES," BROOKERY AND DRISCOLL. On Monday last the road to Old Oak Common was covered with drags, tumblers, and vehicles of every description, filled with the lads of the village, all in high spirits, to witness the exertions of Driscoll (denominated the Bloomsbury Chicken), pitted against Brookery, of bang-up blade in the circle of his acquaintance.

The stakes were ten pounds a side; and so strong a muster of the Fancy, for years, had not graced the Common. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Driscoll, attended by Paddy Felin and Mike Curtain, threw his castor in the ring; in a few minutes afterwards, Brookery, followed by his seconds, Dan M'Carthy and Tom Woolley, repeated the token of defiance. Both of the combatants were nearly alike in weight, about ten stone. It was a good fight for about thirty-one minutes: but after the thirteenth round, it was evident that Brookery would win the battle. In the 21st and last round, the Chicken went down, and could not answer the call of time. Brookery left off a little the worse

for the fight; but the left side of the Chicken's nob showed heavy punishment. The Commoners left the ground, well pleased with the manly conduct of both of the combatants.

BATTLE BETWEEN NED SAVAGE AND JEM KIRKMAN.

The Fancy had a long pull on Tuesday last-Colney heath, nearly nineteen miles from London, was the place appointed for the scene of action. Savage and Kirkman, both well known to the lovers of boxing as cut-away coves, met together for the THIRD time, for the trifling stakes of £10 a side. Kirkman had milled Savage; and the latter hero had also conquered Kirkman. To detail the rounds of this battle would be "Much Ado about Nothing!" suffice to assert, Savage was seconded by Jem Burns and Ikey Dodd; and KirkLansdowne. After two hours had man waited upon by Mason and passed away, and 96 rounds had occurred, a wrangle took place, by Savage falling with his knees on

Kirkman when he was down. This circumstance caused a prime row-all talkers and no hearers

the umpires disagreed-and the opinion of the referee was taken. be considered as a drawn battle. It was at length decided it should

SECOND BATTLE.

"Jack of Finchley," a yokel, stripped for the purse of forty shillings against Bill Savage. "Jack of Finchley," a rough one, napt it in sharp style from Savage. The latter took the lead, and soon convinced the countryman that he had no chance whatever. Twenty rounds satisfied "Finchley Jack" that he had no claims to the purse, when he was compelled to give up the contest. The amateurs, in general, were sadly disappointed.

ARCHERY.-Wednesday last an Archery Meeting took place at the seat of -Currie, Esq., at Essendon, Herts, under the auspices of Mrs. Ricketts, whose grounds were not sufficiently level for the purposes of the game. Most of the leading families of the country were invited, and the weather proving favourable, the general interest created by the revival of this ancient sport attracted many visitors. After the shooting, the company retired to Mrs. Rickett's, where a splendid cold collation was prepared for them, in a booth on the lawn, very tastefully decorated with all sorts of flowers, evergreens, &c. Miss Byron gained the Ladies' prize.

ness

On Wednesday last the park of Sir Henry Bunbury, at Barton, near Bury, exhibited an elegant assemblage of ladies and gentlemen of the neighbourhood, to witthe competition for the archery prizes, at the close of the season. The ladies shot for one prize, and the other was contended for by the gentlemen. After two trials (every lady and gentleman discharging four arrows at the target at each inning), the ladies' prize (archery brooch, value nine sovereigns) was won by Miss Lawton, of Elmswell; the second ditto, by Mrs. H. Heigham, of Hunston. The gentlemen's first prize was won by Mr. Wm. Colvile, of Lawshall, who in the first innings laid three arrows in, one in the centre, and two in the next circle, counting twenty-three. The second prize was won by George Blake, Esq.-Life in London, Sept. 9.

WRESTLING. Monday being appointed for the first three days' play between the Cornwall and Devonshire Wrestlers, consider

able interest was excited among the patrons of this truly English sport, a great number of whom were in attendance at the Eagle Tavern, City-road. The gardens adjoining the above Tavern are peculiarly adapted for such an exhibition, and from the excellent arrangements made by the Committee, each of the spectators were enabled to see the sports without any interruption. The match was for 30 sovereigns. Those who threw two fair back

falls, or one fair back fall, and could afterwards hold out with two others for ten minutes, to be considered double players for the following day. About two o'clock the sport commenced, when Pyle successively contested with Finney, Austin, and Chappell, and in the result he was declared the first double player.

The next bout was between

Chappell and Scott-and from the known goodness of the men, excited considerable interest. The bets were in favour of Chappell, who, after a severe struggle, threw his opponent a heavy back fall.

Clarke then threw his castor in the ring, and Chappell eagerly accepted his challenge, but the umpire called time before a fall was given by either party.

A novice, who gave his name Croot, then entered the ring, amidst shouts of laughter, the spectators ridiculing the idea of his contesting with such a known good one as Clarke. The latter, however, found he had his work to do, and time was called before either was thrown.

Avery then said he would go in and finish the "new one;" but after a severe contest he found himself mistaken, and the yokel held out until time was called.

Copp then threw his castor in the

ring, but the Committee decided it to be unfair to match such an expert wrestler against a novice.

Avery and Trevick. This was an excellent bout, and decided in favour of the latter.

Archer and Copp.-This bout was soon over, and given in favour of Copp.

Several excellent bouts followed, and the sports continued until dark, when the following men were declared double players for the following day, viz. :-Pyle, Chappell, Clarke, Copp, Parish, Trevick, Steer, Row, and Trozer.

The sports of the day altogether afforded a fine treat to the spectators, and considerable bets were laid as to the result of the contest.

Tuesday. The single play was renewed at the Eagle Tavern, City-road, on which occasion there was a numerous attendance

of spectators. At three o'clock Dimond threw in his hat, and the challenge was immediately accepted by England. The former is by far the best player, and threw his opponent easily.

Jennings and Wilmot.-This bout was equally uninteresting, and the latter was thrown.

Williams and Finney.-This match excited considerable interest. Williams is one of the light weights, but possesses considerable science, while his opponent, a tall raw-boned Irishman, though much stronger, knows but little of the art; his superior strength, however, enabled him to hold out until time was called.

Thomas and Williams.-This bout was a very short one, and ended in favour of Williams.

Williams and Tucker.-A wellcontested match. The superior science of Williams was evident throughout. His opponent, however, did his best to win, but it would not do, and time was called before either gave a back fall.

Tucker and Paul.-Tucker this time had a much easier customer to contend with, and threw his man cleverly.

Howard and Jennings. The latter calls himself the Irish Pet, and is well known in the P. R. However well he may understand boxing, it was very clear he knew nothing of wrestling. On receiving a few kicks on the shin, he exclaimed, "I don't understand this," and did all he could to avoid further punishment. His opponent took advantage of his shyness, and peppered his shins in fine style, but time was called before he could throw him. Jennings was then told that he must contend with another; but this he at first declined, saying he had enough of it, but Tucker threw in his hat, and Jennings was persuaded to try his luck once more. His over anxiety to take care of his shins was soon taken advantage of, and Tucker laid him on his back.

Davies and Richards held out.David and Austin, ditto.

J. Cann and Austin.-This was the best contested match throughout the day. Cann is a relation to the celebrated wrestler, and possesses considerable skill. Austin is a very powerful man, but, in spite of his superior strength, was compelled to yield to his more scientific opponent.

Several other interesting matches took place, and at the conclusion of the sports the following were declared double players:-Dimond, Jennings, Tucker, Williams, Fenney, Howard, Cann, Davis, and Hutchings.

Saunders, the Lifeguardsman, was present, but declined playing In consequence of indisposition.

The Gardens were very numerously attended.-Life in London, Sept. 9.

CRICKET MATCHES.-A match of cricket was played on the 3rd of August last, on the Haslemere ground, between eleven bachelors of the Haslemere Club, and eleven bachelors of the Godalming Club, which terminated in favour of the former, by nine runs, with one innings to spare. The return match was played on the Godalming ground on Monday last as follows:

Godalming-1st innings, 49; 2nd innings, 48.

Haslemere-1st innings, 97.

Match of single wicket was played in Ware Marsh on Monday last, between Messrs. Alger and Want, of the Hoddesdon and Messrs. Broxborne Club, and Wilkins and Brown, of the Ware Club, which was decided in favour of the latter in one innings, as follows:

Ware 1st innings, 27.

Hoddesdon and Broxborne1st innings, 8; 2nd innings, 11.

was

Another single wicket played on Monday and Tuesday last, in Ware Marsh, between Messrs. C. Page, Nelson, and Jones, and Messrs. J. J. Cater, Wilkins, and Clibbon, for 20 sovs. a side, which was won by the latter, in one innings.

An interesting match at cricket was played last week, at Sevenoaks, between the counties of Kent and Sussex, with an under

standing that fair bowling only should be allowed, and that throw or jerk should be abolished, not only in this match, but on all after occasions throughout those counties. After a severe contest, Sussex gained the victory with four wickets to go down.

The return match of cricket, to that for 22 sovereigns which was played in Goodwood Park last week, betwixt the City of Chi

chester and St. Pancras, was played on Monday last, in a field belonging to Mrs. Knott, at Hampworth, about a mile from Chichester, on the Brighton-road, where the Suburbans were most completely beaten. St. Pancras,

first innings, 41; second ditto, 40; total, 81. City of Chichester, first innings, 36; second ditto, 46; total, 82-seven wickets to go down.

A match was played on Wednesday, in the Wellington ground, Chelsea, between eleven gentlemen of the Kensington and Bayswater Club, and eleven of the Chelsea Union Club, and came off as follows:

Chelsea, first innings, 98; second innings, 24-122. Kensington, first innings, 109; second innings, 13-122.

Thus the Kensington won, having five wickets to go down. The Chelsea Union Club was decidedly the favourite at the commencement of the game.-Life in London, Sept. 9.

FRENCH SPORTING, Paris, Sept. 3. The horse races for the Royal purses took place yesterday at the Champ de Mars. The King and the Royal Family honoured the course with their presence. M. de Villele presided, in the absence of the Minister of the Interior, whose portefeuille he holds during departments of the north. the journey of the latter in the

The races began at two o'clock precisely. Five horses-Vittoria, Juliette, Diomede, Malthide, and Daghada-started together in the first heat, for the purse of 5000f., assigned to horses of the second rank.

The distance, which was four kilometres, was run in five minutes, fifteen seconds, by Vittoria, a mare belonging to the Duke de
