BOXING.
-...

A tremendous battle was fought yesterday morning in
Eilloiro.lields, between John Edwards, the Huntingdon
drover, and Malt Crisp, a navigator. It was made up on
the 'weeding night at a public•howse in the Eilgeware road,
for 201. as well as love, and it was a mulch unknown even to

all slaughtering milling. The first rooted lasted twelity.t tiro
minutes, and both men were hit to pieces, to use the slang
diction. At the close Crisp was thrown, and the ring re-
sembled a crimson hue in the real Waterloo style.

Crisp made play, and flattened the bridge of bis adversary's
nose, but the drover shook his head, and went very sulky
to work, and, like the first round, the give amid take was the
time of day. After a manly bout Crisp was floured by aHe
sip in the wind.
In the third round both were hit blind, and there was at
least twenty exchange blows. The men fought until they
►olled against each other, and fell as helpless an babes.
The fourth round brat Crisp, by his ad y cracking a
►ib, bat he fought the round out without apparently
know-
ing what had happened, and he had the In of it, sad hit
his adversary down by a round blow in the throat.
In the MTh round Crisp was brought to the scratch
doweled tip and his action gone, when Edwards hit him
down, and won the fight, which was livery gallant one.
