THE BOXING MATCH,
FOR THE NORWICH SU RSCR!PTION PURSE of
100 GUINEAS,
BETWEEN PAINTER AND OLIVER.
Aix-lu-Chapelle boasted of the presence of the
Great Potentates of Europe there assembled, but the
humble little town of North Walsham had to boast
of ns much talent as ever was assembled in one
place; and although another great champion of
England may fancy he can fight in either Arm or
by deputy, upon an approaching great occasion,
Tom Cribb nutted himself in being at the head of
men of talent, without either form or deputy. His
forces were, the phenomenon Randall, Belcher,
Turner, Shelton, Martin, and all those who had bled
on Moulsey Flat, and gratified the taste of the ad-
mirers of courage, and the English way of settling
trifling disputes.
Norwich vies with London in patronizing these
athletic sports, and many females cf respectable
appearance attended, but whether to get a lesson to
map their servants, or to witness novelty, is not for
us to divine. So great an assemblage present cur
informant never witnessed before. The guess at
number was 30,000 persons, and the accidents pre-
sented 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, arid the ropes so pre-
pared, as not to injure the icen 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 state, that the number of vehicles from Nor-
wich alone amounted, according to the prying
information of a blacksmith at the half distance to
Walsham, to two thousand and fitly, 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 Olivea
at Shepperton Range some years since, when both
Ten were stronger, but they were mere compara-
tive novices in science to the present day. Oliv,:r
won that fight, but he was much punished, although
trained by Captain Barclay. The fight we arc
about to record had many changes, and a finer dis-
play of science was never seen. Oliver first entered
the ring with his seconds, Cribb and Belcher, and
Painter followed, when the patience of the partizans
was in a state cf txlatuttic”, accompanied by Snring
