knowe men we may observe, that Williams is rather

triumphant success. His first battle with Sam Martin

W_ as admirable for its courage and perseverance against

Pugilist, he' rose in the esteem of his friends. We
"44Y, however, observe that his entry to the prize ring
,44 some years too late in lire, as in 1843, his first ap-
L:anee, he had touched his twenty-ninth year. Hazel-
bele, the protege of the Israelites, albeit not himself
a4mging to " the tribes," is twenty-three years of age,
had surrendered, a few months since, to Barnash,
of Westminster_ who had also been previously conquered
'3? Martin. The ra.m were nearly of a weight, Wil-
tuns drawing 9st. 21b., and Hazeltine not quite reach-
Lug 9st. 51b.; but the atter, in addition to his youth,
possesses the advantage of two inches in stature, and a
proportionate superioriiy in reach. At eight minutes to
ono the men shook hands, and the seconds retired to
their corners, Martin and John Allen attending upon
Williams, and Young Sambo and Jem Turner waiting
Upon Hazeltine. The ring, in the absence of the Ve-
teran Commissary, confined by the gout, was formed by
his son and efficient assistants. In the earlier rounds,
Hazeltine exhibited marked improvement in his style,
jobbing his man heavily in the head as he bored in,
although not escaping en occasional rib-roasting from
the old one's right. Williams took this sharp usage
kindly, but when, in the fifth round, Hazeltine hit him
down by a straight left-bander, after giving
two successive raps without a return, it became
clear that the shorter-armed man was out-fought.
Nevertheless, Williams, with true bull-dog cou-
rage, began the experiment of going in; this,
however, was equally ineffectual, as Hazeltine flubbed
him, jumped away, punished him on the retreat, and
ended almost every round by throwing him when they
came to a close. In the 60th round, having taken a
sufficiency of beating to satisfy any ordinary appetite,
Williams, finding the deliveries of his adversary becon e
weaker, ref used to give in, though advised to do so both
by his seconds and friends; he went down, round after
round, in the hope of prolonging the contest, that some
page in the chapter of accidents might turn in his favour.
From time to time he made a " peck" or two, like a
beaten game-cock, but in vH n; he invariably received
more than he had the powi rto give; and in the 82d round
his seconds brew up the sponge in token of surrender.
Hazeltine was litera;ly without a serious contusion, save
a print of his cppervnt's knuckles on his ribs, and a
slight abrasion of the bark from his very prominent pro-
bolls. The duration of the battle was 1 hour and 27
minutes. Previous to leaving the ring, Hazeltine chat-
longed Martin for 501. a side, which the later declares
his readiness to accept.
