We bVilttllbti, second in that f.ght, took plate yester-
day morning, a short distaime fromlcup, in Knit, the
men having been routed from th✓ intended spot near Chisle-
hunt. The battle was for tire guineas aside only, but the
meeting was occasi )))) eel by a dispute at the late fight.
IVest wood is ■ strut 12-stone me at, who at first led with
much gait y, until •topped, when he all at once exhibited the
While-lurk. Tbr battle lasts d six rounds only, as follows :
In the fiat room' Westwood commenced hitting away
roundly, but heaey, and Lucas was 6 ,ored, not having
science enough to avoid the blows, or strength to resist
theta.
2. Lucas kept at distance until Westwood made a rash,
and hit by him, which brought thrill to a close, and Lucas
had the best of close quarters, but he was thrown by a heavy
moss-buttock.
3. Lucas again waited fur his adversary coming in, when
lie met him with a right.lahil-il flush bit over the left ogfe,
rend the countryman retreated, and felt to try if he had lust it.
lu return for the hit lie ran his adversary down.
4. Lucas accts.' a heavy right •handed blow on the ribs
which eelh.cd throughout the eine', but he did not go down
with it. Westwood lad iIIC beat of the rotund, and hit his
adversary down, and he was backed to wits at 3 to 1.
5 Westwood received agents upon the left blinker in mak-
ing play, such be suffered his adversary to hunt him to every
pact oldie ring, and lie at last fell iu the must cowardly
manner, and all the gammon of his seconds was hardly suf-
ficient to make him CUM(' again.
6. Lucas went to %rusk se about caution, and he received a
heavy hit or two, but he at length flowed his adversary by
hit on the mouth, and, to make safe of it, be would nut
stand upon his legs agaio. Lucas, though a winner, was
heavily lilt.
