REMARKS.
In 33 minutes there was more execution done
than in the modern system of fighting two or three
hours. It was nut wrestling at and hugging ropes,
it was all manhood ; and whilst Burn is not to ha
scuffed art, Shelton is the best of the heavy weights
of the day. Ills game, which was once doubted, is
decidedly of the first order, um! the manner in which
he heat lire herculean antagonist, makes limy !hor-
nier us good a rnau cc ever peeled, cud it dues cre-
dit to the pugilistic talent of the veteran Bleb-
mond. Sin lion ons probably in better condition
than lie ever was before, and lie timed his adversary
to a great nicety. Burn is a very heavy hitter, but
the iitectice of the ring is wanted for him to judge
his &sumer. ‘Vistrever may have bats next wit hind
