THE PRIZE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP.

(THIS DAY.)

The Sporting Lifc has issued to-day a second
edition, in which we read :—" Another blow to the falling
fortunes of the prize ring ! Every arrangement hail
been made to bring off the fight for the champion-
ship, and after a special train had started from London-
bridge, and travelled as far as Reigate, calling at all
stations, the Irish Giant (Baldwin) was not present ! Up-
wards of a hundred gentlemen, who had left their beds at
an extraordinarily early hour, were awfully disgusted.
Woemald was ready to meet hie antagonist, but the
elongated " Fenian giant," as be was styled, did not
show. Wormald, who was full of confidence, was eager
to meet his man, and after waiting in vain for Baldwin,
the belligerent party were compelled to return to
town, which was reached at about a quarter•put nine.
Just as we are going to press, we learn that Baldwin
missed his train at London•bridge, and went to Clapham,
whence he booked to Farnborough. The station-muter
there has been telegraphed to for further intelligence."

A SECOND LONG INCUMBENCY. —The Rev. J. H.
Rromby, who has just resigned the vicarage of the Holy
Trinity, Hull, was in the 70th year of hie incumbency,
having sueoeeded the Rev. Joseph Milner, the church
historian, in 1797. The rev. gentleman is in the 97sh year
of his age ; he is in good health, and in the perfect posses-
sion of his faculties. .
