SPRING AND LANGAX.—This is to be a fight for the wood
time. At present, a sovereign on each side has been put down, by
way of earnest ; but a larger stake is to be deposited this day, and
the preliminaries to combat are to be then settled. The battle is w
be for 5001. a-side, and to take place upon a stage elevated from the
ground, so as to prevent any of those bickerings which followed the
late rencontre at Worcester, in consequence of the ring having been
broken in. The affair, it is expected, will take place within silty
miles of London, and will, no doubt, excite much interest in the
sporting world. Langan is at fine condition, and has youth awl
strength on his side ; his talent at throwing, too, peculiar to his
countrymen, must afford hint considerable advantage on a boarded
stage, as falls in such a situation must be much more effective than
those on the turf; Spring, however, is the favourite, and sa this
to be his last battle he will no doubt, avail himself of his ca.
tomary good generalship.
