PUGILISM.

EDWARD O'BALDWIN AND GEORGE ILES

FOR £lOO.

Two of the biggest mex;;;hoev r entered the ring con-
tended yesterday for £lOO, and more interest was attached
to the encounter from the fact that it was presumed that
the victor would most likely be the coming challenger for
the Championship, after Mace and Goss have settled con-
clusions. It has always been maintained that a fight be-
tween two big men, if both be determined, cannot last

long, and yesterday's struggle fully bore out the remark.
Iles was brought into notice by his game fight with Joe
Wormald on the 14th of June, 1864, when, although de-
feated, ho did not succumb until two hours andsix minutes
had elapsed, the subsequent Champion in the last round
knocking him out of time. Of O'Baldwin's previous doings

it is not necessary to say much, as he, like his present op-
pcnent, has only once entered the ring. On the 21st of
October, 1863, he met Andrew Marsden, of Nottingham,
by whom ho was so easily defeated as to furnish merely a
funny episode in fistic annals. Since the Giant, as he is
called, has been under a cloud, and his first attempt being
so unpromising an undue prejudice has attached to his
name.

Iles is a man of aft. liin., weighs 12st 10Ib, and is in his
25th year; O'Baldwin stands 6ft. 7in., and scaled Hist. ;
ho is the same age as Iles. They left Waterloo station
yesterday morning early, and got off to a place some 30
miles down the line, accompanied by a good sprinkling of
ring-goers. The stakes were pitched on a moor, and Iles,
taifntger.strhaes teovsesi,2,walnisdpsuoint ie
mthonh face to
ngecithhe sun.and Thesatth b
e ringet-
side ; but heavy money had been laid previously at 6 to 4
()Liles. Tho mon began by sparring cautiously, Iles being
the first to hit on the body, and OTaldwin countered him
slightly with the left on the side of the head. A cry of
"Police" was raised, and the men went in to fight pell-
mell, Iles giving a rib-roaster, and getting away. O'Bald-
win delivered one on the mouth, and Iles was short in re-
turn.—(Seven minutes, and first blood for Iles given.)
The referee now ordered the men to desist, and to start for
London. A trip down the river was resolved on, and a
second ling formed. The odds were now 5t04 on Bald-
win, who had shown that he could hit hard, and act on the
defensive with great judgment, astonishing both his friends
and enemies.

Round two was begun by O'Baldwin planting twice in
succession in the ribs very heavily, without receiving. For
ten minutes the hitting was slightly in favour of O'Bald-
win, and getting warmed to their work Iles sent in a few
hot 'uns on the ribs, for which he had to pay dearly by
receiving on the nose and forehead. This sort of work
continued for about hall an hour, when Iles' face showed
heavy marks of punishment, and he slipped down question
ably—(34 minutes).

punches on the head and face. Iles was now clearly out
of the fight, as the Giant followed him up, and though Iles
did get some hard ones on O'Ealdwin's chest they seemed
to have little effect. The latter's blowg, on the contrary,
disfigured the face and chest of Iles. Two most effective
right-handed deliveries from O'Baldwin—one on the jaw
and the other on the left eye—towards the latter end of the
fight completely stupified Iles, and following up his advan-
tage, O'Baldwin made short work of his man by planting
a left-hander in the face, which sent him to grass.
There was now no hopes for Iles, and his backers humanely
gave in for him, though the poor fellow begged hard to be
allowed just to fight "another round," and remonstrated
strongly when he found that the sponge had been thrown up.
The way in which O'Baldwin fought surprised all who
had seen him defeated by Marsden in 3/ minutes. The
friends of the "Great 0" were by no moans hesitating in
their predictions as to the future wearer of the Champion's
belt. Their favourite is certainly big enough, if he is good
enough, for a champion in Brobdignag or Patagonia.
