A CHAMPION OF OTHEIL DATB.—Whilst the
whole country is ringing with the praism of Tom Sayers'
pluck, courage, and endurance, and be is being feted in
public and in private, it may not be amine to remind our
sporting friends that at Colebrook, in this county, there re-
sides the well-known Abraham Cann, who is nearly three-
score and ten yews of age, who in former days was champion
wrestler of England; a man who was never beaten in Wilde,
whonevereold his backer,whonever disgraced his county by
foul play or vinous habits, and who, when in his prime, was
the means of others pocketing thousands of pounds whilst
he himself remained poor. He is now unable, by age and
failing health, to earn a subsistence for himself and family,
and therefore compelled to accept parochial relief. Some
friends of the veteran champion, however, have commenced
a subscription for him, with the view of alleviating in some
degree the bitterness of poverty which in his declining
years has fallen to his lot ; and we arc requested to state
that Mr. Langdon, of the Bull Inn, Exeter, will gladly re.
nave for that purpose any contributions which may be
kindly entrusted to him.—Exeter F! my Post.
GRIAT PEDINITRIAN FEAT.—We (Derby Reporter)
understand that Mr. Charles Nalby, of London, a celebrated
• n, has been matched for • bet of 5001. to walk
,500 mile* in 1,000 homy. The feat is to take place in a
short time either at Nottingham, Derby, Chesterfield, or
Sheffield.
