PUGILISIII.

DAN THOMAS (TILE WELSHMAN) AND WILLIAM
GILLAM, FOR £lOO A-SlDE.—This pugilistic en-
counter, which for some time past has created much
interest, was brought to a decision yesterday, in a
manner that reflects credit on the P.R. Gillam,
who was backed by the Surrey division, was .con-
sidered to be one of the most promising stars of the
day, being reckoned a quick and efficient left-
handed fighter, the style in which he disposed of
Hawkes having, in a great manner, enhanced him
in the estimation of his friends. Thomas, if not an
accomplished boxer, had the reputation of being
one of the toughest fellows that ever entered the
ring; and, in the present match, these qualities
were considered by his friends to be more than suf-
ficient to counterbalance any superiority his oppo-
nent might possess in tactics.
Messrs. Tupper, Saunders, and Langham char-
tered a special train, which left the Great Western
Station at a few minutes to five a.m. After a
journey of some 50 miles from the metropolis, the
ring was formed in a pleasant spot, and so much
expedition was used that the whole of the arrange-
ments were made by half-past seven o'clock.
Gillam, who had been the first to enter the lists,
was waited on by Jemmy Welsh and Jerry Noon,
while Thomas, who won the toss for choice of
corners, had for his attendants Bob Travers and
George Crockett. In betting, Gillam was the
favourite at 6 to 4, and a good deal of money was
speculated. By half-past seven o'clock the men
were in readiness to commence the battle. As the
contest progressed, Gillam found that he would not
be able to ke the liberties with his opponent he
had anticipated, and there can be no doubt that he
at times felt completely bothered, as Dan would
not throw himself open to an attack. Early in the
contest, Thomas, in the cross-counter hitting,
planted on to his man's left eye with tremendous
force, and from this period of the contest Thomas
may be said to have had the winning card in hand,
although we were at times much surprised that he
did not take advantage of the happy turn matters
had taken in a more decided manner. In the whole
48 rounds, occupying two hours and 45 minutes,
were fought, when the seconds of Gillam, finding
he had not the remotest chance, very properly
threw up the sponge, and Thomas was hailed the
winner. Gillam was much punished about the
-head, and deeply mortified at his defeat.
