P4A7ILISN.

The pugilistic exhibition, between Nos IleNer
(who onoe enjoyed the envisl/le risk of Clampiois
of joglankl) and Cris, tris,k plac • yeatriday at
Nloolsey Hurst, opposite Hampton. for a stake of
200 guineas. Both the pugilists see celebrated
the sporting world. It has heeo a In4tter of mu-
prise to many, that Capt. B. wdtdd hole trestsure.t
to have backed Crib ?pies: so celebrated a prof.-
sot as Belcher who, althougt he has. in some
.de-
glee, degene-ated to strength, oc.ides having lost
an eye, ranked first in the science p ice-fialtung
When Belcher's prowe.s was at its zeniths it would
have b-en farcical to have ma.cbcd Crib tga•nst
him; hut the migntivst may he overcome; and
such was the case with Belt:lire, whose fame was
obscured by the result of his memorable battle
with the tieae Chicken.

Crib, who ic, by way of distinßion, elegantly
termed the Black Usumusg, being a coal-heaver, has
but huqible pretensions to the charafter of a skilful
boxer; but he possesses those qualities. with reference
to his ro itl.osi of fighting, which entitle Aim to a
place abisut third on the list of the bruisers of the
present day. lie has successfully opp 'tied Mae,
illadaloa,nsl several other second-rarebrt.izers. but he
was obliged to yield the palm of *haul y t . pricbas, a
B.istol ad, two years Naze. whom Belcher once
beat. Crib is nevertiseless considered by the Geg-
ea,r,nti ; a safe man to back, for he is, teelins.
cally speaking, the complete :house, and ne-
ver yields till nature obliges hum. Tne made of
fighting he has uniformly adopted, has been that
of falling back, in order that his adversary might
triflim him t and it is by perseverance in this re-
treating system, that Crib ifiks at bJme ; for thine
who &mat themselves by pursuing him. geeerally
get punished. He is a slow hitter ; but, to perial-
him in the science of boxing, Capt. B. and Bill
Ward, have frequen-iy sparred with him since he
has been in training, and he has evidency p offied
