guineas, between the younger Belcher and Rynn, the
son of the late noted pugilist. Shepperton Common.
where Belcher heat 0'1)onnel a month since, was
tiscd on for the spot of anion, and the cavalcade
was brought up there; brit a conference was held,
and it was thought prudent to cross the water.
Lanham Borough was then fixed on, where a ring

gilists entered with their seconds, Tom Jesse and
inek for Belcher, and Hull and Mountain fur Ryan.
I'he combatants, it will be remembered, fought a
hard battle on Wilsdon Green, nine months since,
when Ryan was declared the vigor. Belcher, how-
ever, is much improved since in bulk and stature,
and he sent a challenge, which produced this fight.
