THE RING
Peter Warren has informed the spotting world that his snatch
with Andrews is off for the present, Andrews having forfeited the
51. deposit, his health at this time being too precarious to admit of
his entering into a pugilistic contest.
STOCKMAN •wn CAVAXAGH.—These two light weights are
getting in fine condition for the 22t1 inst. Stockman is on the
Brighton road, 20 miles feom Town ; and Cavanagh is at Randall's
favourite spot, Hampstead. Stockman is a favourite, at five and
six to four.
In answer to Warwick's challenge to Jack Cooper, the latter
says he would readily have accepted it, had he not been under re-
cognizances for 2001.
THE LATE FIGHT.
(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
When Spring and Langan had stripped, Reynolds, who, with
Josh Hudson, seconded the Irishman, went up to Spring and said,
" I understand you have got a belt or, and whalebone in it ; if you
persist in fighting in such a belt, I shall put one on Langan."—
Spring replied (sheering a thin elastic belt of tape) " I have always
fought in this, and shall now." " Then," replied Reynolds, put-
ting on a large belt, crooned in various parts with a hard substance!
" Langan shall fight in this." " No, you won't," said Cribb;
"it is not a fair thing." " Never mind," urged Spring, "
take it off," which he did immediately.
In the 29th and four or five following rounds, Spring planted
some facers; but they were not heavy enom,h to take the pluck out
of Langan. " How bad Spring fights to-day," was the observation
of an old backer of the English Champion. This was not the fact;
Spring appeared to fight with more caution than usual; the blows
of Langan were to,be avoided at all eventa, if the battle was to be
made perfectly safe to Spring. The truth, the whole truth, and
smelling else but the truth, was, that Langan's right hand bras dan-
gerous in the extreme, and a well-directed blow at a proper dia.
lance, either planted on the mark, or on the nub, might have re-
duced the science of Spring so effectively, as to have given the odds
on the part of Langan. lie reminded us of the late Tom Mich
-
man, who treated the abilities of Geo. Cooper as " trifles light as
air," when first matched against that accomplished pugilist. Lan_'
gao had the most perfect indifference as to the powers of Spring ;
and he told 'all his friends, " I am little, it is true; there is no-':
thing of me in person ; but I have a heart in my body—l can bate
him I'm, stare—well, only see now."
Several times during the battle, most of the fighting men
exclaimed of Langan, "He is certainly the best Irishman
ever seen in the ring. He is the gamest man alive !" Here
Martin observed to a Corinthian of the tint brilliancy, and a high
spearing character, " Whist a pity it is that the backers of Langan
had no more judgment than to place him io opposition to Spring
in his first battle in the prize-ring. I feel quite confident that if
'ARM had fought a man near his own sine and weight in the
P. R. whereby he might have gained the knowledge and mode of
London fighting, in all probability be would in time have become
the Champion. If that plan had been adopted, I really think he
could have defeated any pugilist au the-fist ;heisOM of the mast
extraordinarily game men I ever saw.
The Irishman said to amateurs, about an hour or two before the
battle commenced: so little did he think of the talents of Spring
as a boxer, " that he was ready to enter into a contract With him
for seven years, and to tight him several hours every day."
In the 601 h round, the space round the eas so much reduced
that the combatants were fighting fn a crowd, and in danger of re.
unit% blows from whips and sucks. Cribb, at this instant, was
so pressed upon by the crowd, that, in a violent rage, he declared
he would give a Parer to any person who stood in his way.
" Here's a pretty go!" said Tom, " • set of fellows with
books and pencils in their hands, pretending to be Remmers.
A parcel of impostors ! I don't care! I'll hit any body." One of
the umpires, s Noble Lord, was hit with a prime bit of shillaleo
by a rough Putlander who was attempting to get a little space for
Langan, and when informed that he was behaving rude to a noble-
man, Devil may care," says Pat, " all I want is fair play for
Jack Langan. There is no difference here: lords arc no better than
commoners. Faith ! I can't distinguish them one from another,
at all, at all ! I only know that the strongest man has the beat of
it, although I have not got a dry thread about mc."
The English Champion put in a tremendous nobber in the 50th
round, and aloostibbed Langan down. " That's a settler," said *
by-standee. " Indeed it is not," replied Paddy. " Spring will
not settle his account this time. By the powers, I have got a goad
balance to give him yet" (Laughing). • Where's Jack Ruda,
says Josh, " here's a countryman for you! Ile's an honour to
Old Ireland. Go along, Erin go bragh !,,Hpring's tired of it. He
can't hit a dent in &pound of butter." Well done, Josh," said
Spring smiling, " Chaff away. I'll give you all you can do, ex-
cept winning'. "We can't lose it," replied the John Bull fighter.
Langan having decidedly the worst of the 75th round, his face
being covered with claret, a sympathetic admirer of his genie quali_
nee awl:timed." Take the brave fellow away." " I will not,be taken
away—who dare to say so ?" urged Langan. At an early stage of
the hattle, at the end of an excellent fighting round, Langan
laughed at Spring, saying, " You have done nothing yet;" " All
in good time," teplled Spring'las
t."
Josh I shall do it at
Josh nucleon (as we stated before) gave in for Langan, and in
about half a minute after this circumstance had occurred, Langan
opened his eyes, still sitting on the knee of his second, when he
was told the fight was over. He said, his second had no right
to give in for him. He could fight more than forty rounds.
" Don't leave the ring, Spring," several persons cried out. Cribb
told Langan, the battle was over ; and Painter exclaimed, " Don't
let so good a man be killed • he does not know at the present mo-
ment what he is talking about !" The umpire was asked for his
decision, who said, " Langan di.: not conic to tight when time was
called ; anti therefore he has lost the battle, according to the rules
of pagilism." Upon this arkwer, and decision of the umpire,
Spring left the ring, amidst the shouts of the populace, Langan
;oaring out. " I inn not beaten--eleir out the ring—l can fight fins
four hours." In the course of a few minutes he left the ring; and
ea he approached the Grand Stand, he was received with thunders
of applause, and jumped over sonic ropes in his way with great
agili
Josh. Hudson and Reynolds seconded the Irishman with great
sal sad talent. The former, in the 65th round, said table maa—
" Gatin,Jack, as you did the last time, and you will soon scud
his Sac @cisme. U how I should like so have tbis Champion, ae
they call him, for a customer. Langan, I could lick him to the
retest eertidnta lb the world ; and so can you, Erin go bragh !"
• By Jesus'." said Langan, "you're a fine fellow ; and here goes !"
