before the men had again taken their places in the ring. In
the first, or rather the second round Mace tried to force Goss
into a c.xner. The latter succeeded, however, in dealing
his antagonist a blow with his left on the eye, which
brought the first blood. Exchanges ensued in favour of
Mace, until Goss retreated, and, in an doing, fell. So ended
tt is round, which lasted 8 minutes. In the next both men
came up eagerly. Alter a good deal of sparring, which lasted
.26 minutes, Mace made a rush to close quarters, but his
feet slipped and he fell between Goss's legs. In the fourth
round filace dealt .Goss a blow which knocked him down.
The round lasted 35 minutes. In the next struggle both
men fell, and rolled side by side. Mace was up first, and
the fighting which ensued was all in his favour until Goss
was down. In round seven Goss xvent down again. Both
fell in the next round, Goss under, and in that which fol-
lowed the latter was forced to the ropes, where after a .me
stiff wrestling both went down again, Mae() under. In round
the tenth Mace dealt his antagonist a heavy blow on the
left eye, and both went down. In round 11 Mace brought
clown Geis. In rounds 12 and 13, however, Goss threw
his antagonist and fell on him, still keeping his hold while
on the ground. In rounds 14 and 15 Goss fell in endea-
vouring to get away. In round 16 he was felled to the
ground. In round 17 both men fell ; but, in 18 a blow on
the nose again prostrated Goss, The last round was a
tedious one. A left-handed blow on the nose and a right-
handed one on the jaw prostrated Goss, who fell with his
head doubled up ader him in a state of insensibility.
Mace then advanced to the referee and called out, "Have I
won, Sir ?" upon which he was assured that the stakes
were his. The company then relurned to London, chitfly
by the Dartford route.

_ RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

GLASGOW AND SOUTH-WESTERN.

The report of the directors of this company states that
£25,871 had been expended on capital account during the
half-year ending the 31st of July, making the total expendi-
ture£l,94l,2lB, including£2lB,344 in shares of other under-
takings held by the company. The renewal of the perma-
nent way had been rapidly proceeded with during the half-
year, and the sum of £13,258 had been expended on this
account. Revenue had been debited-with £B,OOO, and
£3,955, the premium on stock sold during the half-year, to-
gether with £1,444 previously standing at the credit of the
account for the renewal of locomotives, but not now required
for the purpose, had also been credited to the renewal of
way account—in all amounting to £13,399, leaving a balance
now outstanding of £22,614. The rolling stock had been
maintained in the best condition. The average rate of inte-
rest on the debenture debt was now £3 195.1 d. per cent. The
Bill for running powers over the Ayr and Maybole Rail-
way was settled in committee by an arrangement between
the two companies, by which the company was empowered
to work, maintain, and renew the Ayr and Maybole Rail-
way in perpetuity, on terms which were considered
mutually advantageous. Plans for the junction between
the Glasgow and Paisley joint railway and the Renfrew
Railway at Paisley were being prepared, and the works on
the Kirkcudbright and Bridge of Weir Railways were
rapidly progressing, and both those lines were expected to
be opened for traffic before the end of the year. The re-
ceipts from all descriptions of traffic showed a very satis-
factory increase over the corresponding period of last year,
and were larger than those of any previous half-year since
the opening of the railway. In the receipts for passengers
there was an increase of £2,752, in those for goods and
minerals of £8,521, as compared with the corresponding six
months of last year. The total receipts amounted to £219,907,
against £206,856 for the corresponding half of 1862,
showing an increase of £13,051. the working expenses
amounted to £88,099, or 401 per cent., against £82,668, or
40t per cent., for the corresp2oondiaintgbe netperiodr,ecsehipowtai.ngTbane increase of £5,431, and of £7,6
ba-
lance available for dividend, after deduction of working ex-
penses, interest on mortgages, the £B,OOO transferred to the
account for the renewal of permanent way, and other revenue
charges, amounted to £93,936. The guaranteed and pre-
ference dividends would absorb £18,709, leaving £75,227,
out of which the directors recommended the shareholders
to declare a dividend on the ordinary stock at the rate of 5
per cent. per annum, payable on tb<ti list inst., carrying
forward £1,086.
