REMARKS.
Halton is a fine couraged man, but be came to the '
London ring with rather too much reputatioa.—He '
bad no right to have been matched against one of
the best fighter. in the kingdom, of superior weight
He is a very indifferent judge of Isis distance, inas-
much as he never drew blood fr.im Isis scientific
adversary, with all his lunging bitting and his will,
to du so. Belasco has got better id i mob and' a
tactician. „,.
