THE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

The following appeared in our Lata Union 02 list
eTening :--)

In accordance with previous arrangements the
parties desirous of witnessing the pugilistic contest
between Andrew Marsden, of Nottingham, and Joe
Wormald, for £2OO a side and the championship of
England, assembled early this morning at
the Euston-station of the North Wes-
tern Railway. Late last night, after a.
very long discussion it was arranged that the train
we have mentioned should be the means of enabling
the combatants to settle their respective claims to
the belt of the champion of England, but the cold
and piercing weather no doubt prevented a very
large attendance. In order to prevent police
interference the precise locality fixed upon for
the encounter was kept, as it was imagined, a
profound secret, but the result of the day's trip
will prove that such was not the case; the num-
ber of passengers generally leaving London
by the 6.30, train is considerable, and ivt
consequence of an unusually great addition to that
number a delay of nearly half an hour was expe-
rienced, as it became necessary to attach several
additional carriages to the train. A few minutes
before seven, however, everything was arranged,
and the train moved out of the station. At the
Cheddington Station the train drew up, and the
parties accompanying Wormald and Marsden had
to change carriages, and this having been accom-
plished the train proceeded to its destination.

RENEWAL OF THE FIGHT.—(THIS DAY.)
This morning the South-Eastern Company were
patronised by a couple of hundred sporting men of
various classes, who were anxious to avail them-
selves of a train to the place which they had fixed
upon for the fight which they failed to bring to a
successful issue yesterday.

Just before eight o'clock they found that they
bsui made a mistake, and that the South-Eastern
Railway did not run to the right place, whereupon
they rushed to the Brighton station at London Bridge,
and to the amazement of the officials demanded
tickets for Horley. _ The arrangements on the
Brighton line are always good, and this sudden de-
mand, just as the train was preparing for departure,
in no way disconcerted them. The tickets were de-
livered without much difficulty, and few addi-
tional carriages having been put on, the train was
on its way.
At Horley the whole body of men got out, and
made their way to Copthorn, which is on the border
of three counties, Kent, Surrey, and Sussex. It
was a very quiet unfrequented spot.

The fight lasted 37 minutes, during which time
18 rounds were fought.

Wormald was declared the victor.
