SPARRING.
The seta-S• at the Tennis Court yesterday were brilliant.
woe for the benefit of lien Bum, who has not only risen
himielf In the Fancy, but who patronises his kindred
Prize Ring. •
Jem Bum set-to upon this occasion with Tom Belcher,
best regulator of thick heads the world ever produced. It was
gethcr a specimen of fine science; and Tom Belcher, now
-on mild one in this instance, proved himself best. John "
has to fight young Burn on the 2.1 d of September,
is. Notwithstanding the pre-eminence in the set-to
Aid science, the young one was backed at even.
The Chelsea cobler exhibited with a very line fellow from
Bristol nursery, named Bailey. Tom Belcher is the patron
Bailey, who poop a himself an admiring scholar of his celebrated
rata. It was give and take in glove fighting ; claret flew in
sepia, that they were necessarily obliged to be parted,' in r
geence of an indication that fighting was not allowed.
Moyle, the grinder, made a niosttallaot set-to with an .
men ; they knocked each other about to their hearts content,
le had the best of it.
harmer, although a blinker, put in some scientific
epee Bob Bures's nob.
It is needless to enumerate the minor nets-to.
Den Burns and Oliver closed as tine a day's play as the
blia produced. lien teturned thanks, and his patrons were
well satisfied with the treat.

PanerwciAL tt.t.two.—A ahort time since a desperate
was fought between Parry, a native of Monmouth, and of
pugilistic fame, and Powell, a blacksmith, of Broad Oak,
fordshire. The scene of action was llsrewood's-end. Such was
interest the match excited that near 6,1)00 persons were supposed
be present. The men fought one hour and forty-seven min
and Ha rounds, when Powell's backers would not allow "
come ro the scratch again. l'erhaps in the annals of boxing t.
not an Instance of more game. Never was the failure of natu.
boldly resist,cl. From the 23d round Powell's strength failed ,
gradually. He ...as beaten, but fell nobly ; and, though the man
of his opponent was fully admitted, there was not an individual
the ring who did not sympathise in his mortification. His
less science was proved by the trifling degree of punishment
he received; while Bob, on the other hand, in wearing the
of victory, has to confess that they were dearly, " very

bought.
