PUGILISM.

JOSEPH GOSS (OF WOLVERHAMPTON) AND WILLIAM
RYALL (OF BIRMINGHAM), FOR £lOO A-SlDE,—These
members of the P.R. contended for £5O a-side on Tuesday,
the 24th of September, last year, the meeting taking place
in the home district, when Goss proved the winner in 37
rounds, fought in two hours and 50 minutes. This was a
hard fought affair, both men acquitting themselves in a man-
ner which gave satisfaction to their friends. Notwithstand-
ing Ryall had on this occasion to cry " Hold I enough,"
yet his backers considered there were circumstances attend-
ing that encounter that placed him under considerable dis-
advantage, and that with better care and more rigid train-
ing he would be in a more favourable position to contend
successfully; and, as the Brum was anxious to retrieve his
lost laurels, the match which took place yesterday was
made. As on the first occasion, the belligerents were not
confined to weight ; but in this the advantage materially
preponderated in favour of Ryall, who, when he last scaled,
was stated to pull down list 41b, although there can be
little doubt he was not far short of being 12st when he en-
tered the ring. Goss weighed, on Saturday last, lOst 101 b,
and in height is about Mt 8f ; so the Brum, in addition to
weight, had here again the advantage, and unquestionably,
when in the ring, looked a formidable antagonist. The men
agreed to contend in the home circuit, and Ryall, with his
Birmingham friends, attended by Joe Wareham, his trainer,
arrived in the metropolis on Monday. Yestermorn, before
the break of day, all who intended to be there were up and
on the wing. When the selected spot had been gained, the
commissary lost no time in making the needful preparation ;
and all being ready, the combatants entered the lists, Goss
being the first to do so. Ryall had for his seconds Joo
Wareham and Bob Travers: (the black), while a couple of
noted retired members of the ring went in with Goss. The
odds were 2to lon Goss, who, like his antagonist, was
in admirable fettle. At 10 o'clock the men were left at
the scfatch to commence the battle. The attitude of
each was remarkably good, though the superiority of
size on the part of Ryall was striking. There was a
good deal of caution exhibited on the part of both, but at
length Rya: got home BO effoo6voly with hiv., light on
the left cheek as to gain the first of the three events,
and thus, to the amazement of Goss's friends, stole upon
his man in a manner by no means anticipated. The first
bout lasted eight minutes. There was again much of cau-
tious manoeuvring, Goss, in the manner which he shifted
in all parts of the ring, displaying in a =liked manner
lightness and rapidity of action. Ryall followed his man up,
but, from the caution displayed, the battle did not by any
means exhibit the expected features. Indeed; there was
little of that severe work which, judging from their preced-
ing performance, was anticipated. In this manner 12 rounds
were fought, but, while the 13th was in progress, the police
made their appearance, and a move became inevitable, the
combatants, up to this enforced suspension of hostilities,
having fought one hour and 28 minutes. When they left
the ring there did not appear much mischief done, although
Goss afterwards complained of having, in a fall, hurt his
right shoulder at the commencement, and owing to this ao
cident his friends attribute his subsequently fighting in a
style so different to what was anticipated. With all possible
despatch another ring was again formed, but no sooner had
the men got to work than the rural constabulary made
their appearance, with the usual result. For the third time
the ring was formed, and at 30 minutes past two o'clock the
belligerents commenced operations, but did not appear at
all in a hurry to go in with a will. From the 20th round,
however, Goss changed his tactics and fought in sore-
thing like his old style, and his friends fully expected to
see him bring the battle to a speedy termination. In the
27th round Goss got home his right with force on the body,
and Ryall, from the effects of these visitations, appeared in
a distreped condition. Goss, however, was at this critical
moment not able to follow up his advantage, and owing to
this the Brum was enabled to recover. Both men now re-
sumed the old tactics of out-fighting, and round after
round became wearying and resultless. At length, in
the 37th and last round, as the men stood looking at each
other, the referee told them they must either fight or
draw, and as neither considered themselves able to finish,
they agreed to shake hands, and thus settle matters. The
battle, in the last ring, occupied one hour and fifty minutes,
so that three hours and eighteen minutes were consumed
in the whole—the last round occupying fifty minutes.
