lasted twenty minutes, those disposed to make
their exist were unable ; and at lengili 'rib put him-self in a bus-
tle', and by assistants, succtieded in again beating out the ring.
—lt is an etiquette in fighting, that if either of the men in corn.
bat leave the ring in such acase, he loses the battle, and con.
sequently both men again w're set-to. great pains having been
taken during this hustle to get Riinmer to stand on his le?).
again. The con,batants fought six feller rounds, to the dis-
comfiture of Rimmer, who received about ten other blows, and
he at length resigned the combat, when unable to stand.
OBSERVATIO Ns.—There need but few remarks on the C 0111,..
hat ; it was impolitic to match a young novice against a prriessor
of terror like the Black. The blow in the third round, followed
up by the two others in the subsequent round, doubtless reduced
Rimmer to a state of insensibility, and he had no chance after Of
displaying any one requisite to cope with the sturdy Black. He
has courage, but he has a losing lack of giving his head when
hits; and, above all, he had a timidity in going too near his ad.
versary, and he cot sevently ho half a length short. It is only
necessary to state of Molineux, that he is a very ugly customer.
He has gained by practice a quichmsi of hitting, which if not
so pleasing to the eye as that of a Gulley, a Belcher, or a Crib,
it is at least as mortifying to the feelings; and, as has been before
observed, it will be a matter of troublesome speculation again to
find his conqueror. He won the battle with all imaginary ease,
with only a cut lip, and two or three other slight hits.
It is no exaggeration to state, that 15,000 pet sons were pre.
sent, and the oldest amateur does not remember more at anf
similar exhibition.
Another battle took place after that between Molineaux and
Rimmer. The combatants were a promising young Jew, and a
Gentile of Caleb's school. It was a brisk fight, in which
considerable science was displayed, but the sew was beaten by
zn unexpected blow. Dutch Sam and Caleb Baldwin seconded
their favourites. Rimier had not arrived in London
at noon yesterday, and we understand he was put to
bed from the ring in a very bad state, froin the beating
he received on the head. It appears that Rimmer was
beat in the first round by the hit in the neck, and the repeti-
tion of blows in the second pint third rounds reduced him to a
state of insensibility, from which he never recovered. It also
appears that Rimmer received a hurt in his hand in sparring at
Powers's benefit last week. which gave him a disadvantage, but
he was altaigether unequal to the. Black.
A third battle was fought between two men, near Wan4s.
worth, on return from the fight. and one of them was so dread-
fully beaten as not to be expected to recover.
