PUGILISM.

The fight yesterday, between Rough Robin
and,Higlloch, alias Buddolloch (for 501.) was a match of
Ilercules pitched against Gohalt, for both men are great big
onesliougli Robin being about six feet, and his antagonist
two or three inches taller. Neither of' the men were much
known in the London Ring, and the only interest excited was,
to see such men fight, as it was considered to be a fair match.
Josh Hudson took Rough Robin by the hand, and offered to
back him against any man in England for 501. several months
back, but he could get no customer—the Dons not choosing to
fight for so small a sum, and the little fellows being rather
" shy" of such a customer. At length Tom Belcher brought
forth a rival countryman from Cambridgeshire, to accOmmo-
date the rough one. The ring was pitched on abeautiful piece
of turf; in a place called No.man's Laud, about 4 miles east-
ward of St. Alban's, and 26 from London. The odds were 6
and 7 to 4 on Robin.
At ten minutes past one the men went into position ; Robin
seconded by .losh Hudson and Holt; colour brown bird's-eye;
and Buddolloch, seconded by Harry Harmer and George Head.

right; a rough exchange took place, in which Bud. had the best
of it; peppering Robin's face till they both went down.

of it, he made a plunge at Buddolloch, who was unable to re-
sist his weight, and he went down weakly.

where a hard struggle took place to the advantage of Bud—but
as Robin tried to hug him, be slipped back through his hands.

16. Robin still on the retreating system, and pelting his man,
who came up to him weaker and weaker, until in a close he
fell—Robin on the top of him. This Was a good round.
17. This was a still better round; and poor Buddolloch,
though very weak, bored up to ,his man to the corner of the
ring, where he was kept at bay for about two minutes—at last
they went both down in a close amid loud cheers.
18 and last. Buddolloch could only stand up to be knocked
down by his own weakness and the weight of Robin,who rushed
at him, and it was all over in 25 minutes.

REMARKS.—Both these men displayed equal game, but the
caution and supperior weight of Robin were two much for his
rival, who exhausted himself by constantly going in, and trying
to bring Robin to book, but it would not do. Robin always re-
tired, receiving his opponent's blows, and pushing in his own.
In the fall he always had the best of it. It was a good tight of
its kind, but neither of the men were much hurt. I3uddolloch's
left eye was cut and swollen.
