A, famous day's play of pugilism tool; !dace, yes-
terday.at Moillsey E-lurst, befOre a iiittnerous as.
seniblay.e of atwitears. The great match was be-
tween Scroggins; the i;ailtic, who had distinguish-
ed himself on. 1 ditterent element, and Nos-
worthy, the baker, ‘irluiwiis tliOaglit terrible frOrn
his having won with Dutch Sant, about which
event so much dispute has existed. It was a
sporting fight, at even betting, but Scrogins had
the turn. Belcher and Gibboits seconded Scrog-
gins, and Crib and Clark officiated for Nos.
worthy.

Round I. Scientific sparrir4 at judgirml: distance. Scrog-
gins made nlavand planted a hit, which wa-4'retnroed short.
A smart rally followed, when some - hitting took place, and
both went down, Nosworthy under, who produced first blood
from the nose and mont-h--"-5 and 6 to 4 on Scroggins.
2. One of the best fought rounds since that betwixt Dog-
herty and Silverthorn, on Comminbe Warren. Nosworthy
platted a bit, and a tremendoi:slly followed, which Shelved

frequently hit each other away, and tcturtmed with realTative
courage to offensive opfra.ions. Scroggios priit•fd hinisell the
best in-fighter, and time best punisher, and he hit Nusworthy
down at last, deriding• blond and the (11.41Vt11. •

himself most. decidedly the best fighter, and Nosworthy only
stood to leceive the hits of his i.tVersary, who hrohe away,
hit in, and did as he liked.

It would be uninteresting to pnrsur this fight further in de-
tail. Nosworthy was knotlieddown at the setting-to in the
sixth ronnd. In the seventh he made liis lat, but unsuc-
cessful effort, although he planted a good rig:A-handed hit
upon Isis opponent's eye-lid. In the-eight round, Nosworthy
was again linocked down, and he had no chanct after but at
the /rein/ stop. He was unable to come to time after the 15th
•round, .and his head was never ant of chancery from the first
mond. The battle lasted 18 minutes.

Notwithstanding the victory Nosworthy gained, over Dutch
Sam, lie was always considered hr the best judges of lighting
aS FL second rater of or,:inary talent, and in this combat he
slimed it to the ring. He is .a thorough game man, hut he
is a stranger to every other requiSite necessary to boxer.
He is a delicate hitter, although a god -sparrer,, and has a•
very unhappy knack of throwing awsy his •blows to the ad-
vantage of a man like Scroggins, who can break and receive
Scroggins is decidedly the best man of his weight of the
day, and reminds the amateur of the exploits of Hooper, the
celehrated tinman, at in-fighting, and. at other times let

those sturdy fellows who will not be denied; and in some in-
stances, where he could not get at his r:an, he covered his
head with his kft hand, went in, and got to his forte. He is
a tremendous hitter, and can beat any eleven stone man in.

A second and most courageous battle was fought between
Torn Julanson, of Paddington' and Rowe, a smith, a pupil of
Oliver's. The. former won in half an hour, after much good
and determined fighting. Rowe received a hit at the chise of
the battle tinder the lower left rib, which sent him to sleep..
doe Ward and Jones seconded the 'winner, and Oliver and
Painter the loser.
