PUGILISAI.

AT the fight which was lately at Sliepperton, the
Chicken challenged any Jew in England to fight him
within the space or one month froin that time; but
the Jews thought it more Ist:mi./440 match their
champion against another man. A man who
better known among the Jews by the nickname of Iky
Pig, thin by ltia real.name, wai int rOduced' to the ph-
gilistic world as the Jewish Ajax,-and it was agreed
that he shoul&contest the palm with .TOns Crib, who
May not improperly he styled the 111.ystki of the Chris-
tians. A purse of 4.0 guineas was made up for the pur.
pose, and the battle was ftiught yeiterday at Black-
heath. The Jew is a great deal the stronger man of
the two ; he stood up well, and faced his man with
the utmost spirit for several rounds. Crib, on the
other hand, was so wary, that he kept him eon.
stantly on the alerefni upwaids'of a quarter of an
hour, during which time, though Ctib was tumbled
to the ground seven, times successively, he did not
receive, comparatively speaking, any injury, hut
stopped the other frequently with' his fist, when he
was following him up with the utmost impetuosity.
Superficial' observers thought that the frequency
of`she falls must exhaust Crib, and the bets,
which in the beginning were considerably in his-fa.
your, now became even. Those who :watched
more attentively, however, saw that, not Withstand.
ing Ct lb had each time received a blow, which ap.
parently knocked him down, he might be said to he
neatly off his centre at the time of his being hit,
as that, in fad, he was only pushed down. The
eighth and.ninth rounds-were very severe, and' very
Closely contested.; hut, though Crib was down at
the Chi Of each, even the friends of the Jets saw
that he had 'the. worst Of it, owing particularly to'
two desperate. blow's he received on the'
;left side.
At the tenth round the JeW hurig his. head, and
seemed very much troubled; at the close•of this he

knocked him down. —fie fought two rounds after.
wards, apparently in great distress ; and, though
he knocked Crib down at the end 'of the' twelfth
round, he said' that he'had sprained his wrist, and
gave in, after having fought abOut 25 minutes.—
' Those who had laid money on the Jew were„very
theich diss'atisfied at his giving •in at a time 'when he
had knocked-down his antagonist, and;was abler to
walk inu strong; 'upright manner out of the ring..
Will Wood, the coachman, seconded the Jew, and
Tom . Jones picked up- Ctib. Belcher, Jackson,
and Mendoza, and some other pigilists, besides
Mr. Fletcber,Read, .and some other amateurs, were
in the. ring.;
When Ilse above match was finished, a purse of
ten. guineas • was made up.for a second fight, be.
twren another Jew anti another Christian. The
former was one 14411.U010 (probably a corruption of
Joseph), who is-well known as a fighting man among
the Jews ; the latter is. Gtorge Richmond, an AMC-,
fiCall Black. This bilttle lasted only about a quart
ter of an hour ; but • the blows were by far more
numerous,, and of :more serious.. consequence than-
the' former. Though the fight was very fairly and
impartially managed by thotie who had the. manage.
meat of it, the crowd, both Jew end Gentile, were
very clamorous against the. Black. The Jew
sparred very., neatly, and stopped a great 'many
blows, but neither fell without being faidy• knocked
down, except once that the 'Black's foot slipped.
In .the third round the Black was-althost beat out of
the ring ; but bc6veen' that and the North •he'se.

pert and lively pugilists of the present day. He
Made good use 01 the advice heiot, and Olidoged
the • other up uo close,. that with repeated.detpetate
blows he totally disfigured his opponent, and com-
pelled hint to yield, atter a very brave resistance, at
the end of the sixth round.
