SPARRING AT THE FIVES' COURT.
There was an excellent day's play yesterday at the Fives'
Court. for the benefit of an old Historian of the Ring; but,
althoUgh the performances were of the first order, the attend-
ance of the Fancy was but thin. The principal attraction
was a set-to between SPRING, the ex-champion, and GEORGE
COOPER, who exhibited the art of self-defence in the highest
perfection, and drew down thunders of applause. The other
candidates for fame were Lennox and Wyatt, Jones and Young,
Josh, Oybbletts and Spencer, Ned Brown and West 'Country
Dick, Holt and Oliver, and Reidie and Mahony.
Spring, at the conclusion of the sport, announced that his
benefit was fixed for to-morrow, when he should take his leave
of the public, with those feelings of gratitude, which the kind-
ness and liberality of his treatment, on all occasions, were so
eminently calculated to excite. He added, that he had no
doubt, his brother-pugilists would rally round him, and con-
tribute, by their exertions; to the amusements of the day.
MOVEMENTS or THE RlNG.—Reidie has been matched
against the Cambridge Youth, for 251. aside, to tight on the
same day with Cooper and Bob.
SAVAGE and Loci will fight for 251. aside, on the first day
of Ascott Races.
The third deposit for the fight between Cooper and Bob will
be made this evening at the Hercules Pillars, Great Queen.
street.'
REID AND JUBB.—This fight, which is appointed to take
place on Monday next, between Oxford and Cheltenham, ex-
cites a good deal of interest in the sporting world. Tom Cribb
and Clarke are going down to second Jubb, who is backed by
persons high in the Cheltenham fancy.
DICE CURTIS AND WARREN.—These men met at Cribb's
yesterday, when the umpire decided that Curtis should receive
201. of the purse which was collected at Epsom.. Warren
having declined to continue the fight, and his second, Aby
Belasco, having stated that he admitted Dick to be the best
man, there was a surplus of 4/. 75., which was given to War-
ren. Warren stated that his friends were ready to make a match
for him with Curtis for 501. a-side. Dick expressed his hopes
that Warren would not be disappointed, as he was ready at a
moment's warning to post the needful.
