resolution of the strike committee, deputations, ou Monday
and yesterday, waited upon the following employers:—
Messrs Kelk, Lucas, Smith, Dove, Myers, Brown and
Robitson, Whisked, Holland and Mennen, Mansfield,
Trollops), and l'Auson, for the portions of making them
acquainted with the intentions of the societo strike their
country jobs, unless they consented to witMraw the hour
system in their London establishments, or submit the whole
question to arbitration. In most of the oases the deputations
were refused an interview, one firm threatening to indict
them for conspiracy, and they only succeeded in seeing
Messrs. Lucas, l'Anson, Brown and Robinson, and Trollops,
the latter geutleinau giving the deputation a courteous recep-
tion, mid entering at great length into the merits of the dis-
pute, though nothing definite resulted. The reports of the
dorm...trees being considered unfavourable, instruction' were
sent off by last night's post to the smaller country jobs for
the men to leave at once ; delegates will leave town today
and to-morrow to make arrangements for the withdrawal of
the nice front the larger jobs, and by Saturday next it is
expected the whole of the men will have left. Several of
the mamas who have been brought up from Scotland and
other parts of the country, and have been working under
the hour eyetem, yesterday left the worka of Messrs. Smith,
Holland. and Myers. Those who left the yard of Mr.
Myers have taken paw ia the boat leaving the Thames
for Edinburgh this morning. Several of the masons em-
ployed by Mr. Higgs at the Chelsea barracks have also ex-
pressed their willingness to leave if their expenses are
guaranteed by the society.
AcK ETS.—Yenterday evening a grand racket
match came off at the Belvidere, Islington, for the them-
piousbip of the open courts, and a handsome silver cup,
the gift of Mr. Buckingham, the proprietor of the
ground. Although open to all comers, the contest WAS
left between George Erwood and George Boucher,
and was to be decided by the first winner of
three games out of five. Erwood was the favourite from the
first, sod the event justified the judgment of the connois-
seurs, He sadly won the two first games, Boucher being
the winner of the third. The fourth wag well contested no
both sides, lint was ultimately won by Erwood, who was de-
chiral the champion. The play ea both sides was very good, but
especially that of Erwood, whose execution won the applause
of the numerous speetators who witnessed the contest.
flue ..f the coalitions of gaining the cup is that the winner
i to hull the first place for two years. Itie expected that
the present contest will give rise to many future ones.
THE FIGHT FOR THZ CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE
LI(AIT Wemera.—The fight between Shaw and Tyler for
the championship of the light weights came ofT yesterday.
The spot selected for the meeting woe a place called Stanley
Creek, in the Medway, which the pugilist.' and their
friends in groat numbers reached by means first of a spe-
cial train from the Victoria Station along the Leaden,
Chatham. sad Dover Railway to Strood. They then
embarked at Rochester on been! a steamer, after containing
• fright at the appearance of a couple of policemen
who were exhibiting wore curiosity in their movements
titan was deemed to be desirable. 17p the Medway
steamed the motley throe; of vice sea ruftinnisin,
past Clio at:au Docks and Upper Cull.. At Burnt-
wick Islam! • Money iliacussion arose as to the propriety
of landing, which also threatened to be followed by
a general ostler. Peaceful counsels, however, prevailed, and
the pm rty teanine.al to enter the Thames. Eventually the
landed at Shona-ten ; but here again the fate'., in the garb
of a few constables, were unpropitious, and the mobdecamped
in but baste, returning once more to the aledway, where,
after groping about front one place to another for several
hour.. they at lenith jumped on shore and fixed the stakes
at Stanley Crzek, upon a some what muddy footing. Here
the ring we.. formed, sad with as little delay as /amebic
the two belPecrents stood face to face. Tyler is said
to be a man of about 31 yars of age, his opponent a
mere petal of 19 ; but the disparity of age warn
compensated to a slight extent by the advantage which
the youeger luau pea,sued in point of stature. The
first round wee then fought, sod occupied ten or eleven
minutes. Neither boxer, how,ver, did much harm to the
other, although Tyler seemed to have the beat of it;
the feinting and spar inn, bitting and stopping, arc allowed to
have been of • highly " snieutifie" character. In the sad
they dined et the ropes and full. In the second round con-
summate generalship woe displayed on each aide, the ow
waiting for the other to begin. More feinting and coupter-
Inc emptied, followed by some severe bitting, in which the nose
of Tyler and the left .7. of Slues revolved a slight punish-
meet. Their Wool bent now up. they were hammering
away'at each other with Vuloin-like strokes., when again the
eve which carries terror to the pugilist's heart was heard
in the distance. The cry of "Police" was raided, and
moms after • strong body of officers presented themselves
on the scene of conflict. It is needless to add that the
stake. were drawn, sod that principal; second+, barkers,
and the whole taerag and bobtail were quickly on hoard the
little steamer. wending their way from a locality in which
the authorities had taken such precautions RI effectually to
prevent the conclusion of the combat, at all event; on that
day.
