SPARRING,

There was a benefit at the Fives Court yesterday fur Neste.
From the pains which had bees taken to assure the politic
of the treat which Ci Davis, Cabbage, and young Nicholls,
the Bristol men, would afford, it was expected that the
Court would have been well attended; but it was the
wry reverse, it being the general opinion that Neste was

Neale and Shelton—Much wu expected from this set-to,

Scroggius and Cabbage.—This' Was the best and the
only good match of the day. The men are nearly equal
weights, and they have often been on the pointlof being
matched. Their attacks upon each other Were manly and
effective. They floored each other with hitting, and turned
to again like real good ours. Science was not resorted to,
but it was bit for bit until their performance drew down
thunders of applause trots the asseesiblage, and Ninnies
from their pockets. Cabbage pocketed the roats, but
Scruggins thought it was not ganileinanlp, and- refused to
do so.

will no doubt be a fight. Neste realised what was expected,
