'e do not recollect ever Witnessing a More remising Clut .
of young Players, whose attention was more mated to tlit?
strictness of the game, and we haie no doubt, if they do not
relax in their endeavours, they will, in a short time, be only
inferiot to the Illarylehone Club.
Percy won by ten wickets.

WRESTLING.
One of the grandest diiplaYS of this national exercise which
has been witnessed for a long period took place of Okehainpton,
on the bth, 6th, and 7th instant, for a purse of ten Sovereigns.
The players were numerous, and deserving every praise ; their
fine herculean forms and athletic powers excited universal ad-.
miration. John Jordan and Abraham Cann shared the first
prize of five sovereigns; the Second:pike, of two Sovereigmt
and a half, was awarded to Wrri. Bissett ; and the third prize,
of one sovereign, to,Jaines Jury. In a match for a by-bei,
Jordan threiV the celebrated Flower.
