by en enemy. Captain Cox, of Drayton, backed

square of le feet. The men weighed between I'.!
and 13 *tom., and Sharp was backed at 5 to 4.

and boils bled herly. Al the next meeting Sharp rtecivril

being, Nash to the trestriay, Sharp threw his adversary in a
trial of strength.

displayed. There was no half doing duty, the meta met
like heroes, and exchanged hits until they were steeped in
claret. About a dozen hits were exchanged, when Wolf re-

the fall had heat him.
3 and 4, were hugging rounds from the exhausted state
of the men, and both were down iu each of the rounds.
5. Wolf received a heavy facer which spun the blood rout
of emit ear, in return for which he drew two of his adver-
sary's teeth. A tremendous rally followed upon the pine
and fake system, but Wolf was doubled wp by aright-handed
teaser in the wind, which spoiled him.-3 till on Shat p.
6. This was the last of the good round., and the men
flattened ends other's features in warlike form. The I
lasted seven minutes, it was all hitting, and at length
Wolf fell front weakness, and it was all up with his chance.

Four other rounds were fought, and although
science was strange to both, inasmuch as there wits
not a blow parried in the whole light, yet, when
Sharp found his adversary wus beat, he hit and gut
away, until a blow on the neck in the tenth round
finished Wolf for that day, and " enough" fron►
the fallen man's second was music in the wax-
melted-ear of the winner. Both were carried off
