THE BOXING MATCH,
PCR TILE NORWICH suusrairTtoN PURSE or
100 GUINEAS,
BETWEEN PAINTER AND OLIVER.
Aix-la-Chapelle boasted of the presence of the
Cheat Potentates of Europe there assembled, but the
humble little town of North Walsham had to boast
us much talent as ever was assembled in one
place; and although another great champion of
England may fancy he can light in either forum
or
by deputy, upon an approaching great occasion,
'l'om Cribb nutted himself in being at the head of
men of talent, without either fain or deputy. His
.forces were, the phenomenon Randall, Belcher.
Turner, Shelton, Martin, and all those who had bled
on Monkey Flat, and gratified the taste of the ad-
mirers of courage, and the English way of sett"lng
trifling disputes.
Norwich vies with London in patronizing these
athletic sports, and many temalcs of respectable
appearance attended, but whether to get a lesson to
nap their servants, or to witness novelty, is .not for
us to divine. So great an assemblage present our
infinmant never witnessed before. The guess at
number was 30,000 persons, and the aceldenta pre.
witted an appearance quite unusual to the London
ring. Not to be beat-even by the great commander
of the London ring, or the ingenious commissary
who forms the plans, the Norwich Union Club have
their forms of ring-making superior to the London
style, the stakes being higher, and the ropes so pre-
pared, as not to injure the men in active combat.
In addition to this, in one part of the ring a plat-
form was erected of immense height, so as to give a
distinct view to five hundred, spectators. We digress
here to sate, that the number of vehicles front Nor-
wich alone amounted, according to the prying
information of a blacksmith at the half distance to
Wolohan', to two thousand and fifty, and this corro-
borates our opinion of the immense number assem-
bled at Yarmouth, Cromer, and the towns within
twenty and thirty miles round, poured in their lots.
As to the men, Painter has lately turned publican at
Norwich, and is respected. He was beat by Olives
at Shepperton Range some years since, when both
men were stronger, but they were mere compare-
tive novices in science to the present day. Oliver
won that fight, but he was much punished, although
trained by Captain Barclay. The fight we are
about to record had many changer., and a finer dis-
play of stianee was never seen. Oliver first entered
the ring•with his seconds, Cribb and Belcher, and
Painter followed, when the patience of the partisans
was in a state of exhaustion, accompanied by Spring
as Lis second,and a Countryman unknown to the ring
as his bottle-holder. A parley then ensued as to
Painter's right of receiving the waggon-money with.
out Oliver having his participation in it, and this
amounted to at least 1001., and there was an extra
• pull of a shilling a head- fur those who entered the
' field, gentle or simple. This also amounted to a great
stake, not less than two boxes containing wedge to
the amount of 2001.—hoporiard litigations took
place between the white bag and dial bas men, until
Oliver's seconds waived the right of rowing in the
waggon game, and they buffed it.—Betting 5 to 4 on
Painter, who weighed 13st 41b. and Oliver last. Slb.
The ring of 24 feet was formed in excellent style,
'sad an outer ring of immense space was formed with
tapes, also to keep back the anxious pedestrians.
ROUNDS.
1. Much caution was used before the combatants met. and
some masterly attitudes excited admiration: Oliver made a
ecientifie parry of Painter's heavy-bitting right hand. They
broke away, and Painter placed a flush right-handed hit upon
.the jaw, and in closing got Oliver's head confined with his left
arm. and had a good weaving match at him; but Oliver got
from his :add, and some counter-hits were exchanged. Painter
gave his head inclining forward for Oliver to matte play, and in
trying for a left-handed hit upon the head, Oliver received two
blows, and in struggling for the throw, Oliver won it, but Painter
had decidedly the best of the round.
2. °Leer placed a smart lett-handed bit upon his adversary's
body, and Painter spewed first blood on the side of the nose, from
the struggle in the former round, which lasted twelve minute..
Oliver parried Painter's right hand again. and returned upon the
throat with the left hand, when some courageous fighting, bull-
dog fashion, took place, but Painter fought shy, and seemed to
depend upon his heavy right hand. Oliver ph,ced blows left and
right upon Painter's heed. A rally followed, and counter-hits
were exchanged, when Painter got his adversary's head under his
arm, and administemed some punishment. and got Oliver sus-
pended across the lower rope of the ring, and let him go down
without hitting him.-2 to lon Painter.
3. Oliver placed a tremendous right-handed blow upon his
adversary's head, which hit him away, and set the balls a his
• eyes in extra motion, and threw him in a close.—Betting as at
the commancement.
4. A gallant round. in which much skill was displayed, but
Painter appeared thick winded at the onset. He gave his head
again to induce Olivet to make play, and was ereepiug his left
foot on to get behind Oliver', right. to placelds formtuahle right
handed blow, in which he succeeded ; but Oliver returned upon
• him, led bad the best of' in-fighting, but the worst of the
weaving cluse again. Oliver gave Painter the first knock-
' down blow with hi, right hand upon the head, and betting was
coca
• a. Oliver placed a left handed blow upon the heed, and a daring
hAting rowed followed, in which Painter placed one of hie right
Landed seuzaleis. which stupified his antagonist for the moment.
No better courage could be shown, and the glee and take game
was the order of fighting to every part of the ring, and both were
• eked, anti Oliver was thrown.
6. Both distressed for wind, and sparred at hepectful distance
until they had partially recovered. when Oliver placed a limey
-left-handed blow upon his adversary's eye, and a dose tbllowed.
in which Oliver had the worst, and both went down.
7. Both were too tired to commence hitting until Painter made
play, when a very determined and manly mad wme foughtibuid
bow watt down again. much dist:toed.
