B O X I N G.

Two matches interesting to the spectators who admire ruf-
flatting fighting took place at 9 o'clock yesterday morning,
in a2O feet square. on the grounds of Mr. Luken, at Fen-
nel Farm, six miles front Leatherhead. The first match
was forfifty a side, between George Ford, who had milled his
way into notice by sonic severe days' work, and lastly with
Moss, the busy gypsy, and Ben Granger, the navigator, who
fought the game battle with Gillan, in Oxfordshire, last June.
Moss seconded Ford, and Barton picked up Granger. The
backers of the two men from Hampshire acted as umpires,
but as it was an off band match, made but a week since, the
attendance was thin.

At setting-to the men, over anxious to go in, threw their
blow; away, and'got into a close, when a tedious wrestling
match took place, and Rothwere down.
4. This round took a slice of theirfastness off both. Ford
drew clatet front his adrersary's mouth, and in return he re-
ceived a lugger on the ear, which softened the wax and let
out the claret, nor did he seem to like it. They broke their
ground and turned to again, when an equal give and take rally
follow ^ci and mhen.,tired they closed, and had a. trial at treav-
ing, which they were harmless at. They let loose each other
again, and after a good piping match, they got to work again,
and Granger was dropped forward by a left-banded hit in the
nose, which let the wind in, and made hint -shake his head.
The round lasted• I-, minutes, and both were much distressed.
3. After a pause, a hit each was exchanged, and Ford was
thrown a heavy somerset, which extracted a grunt like a pa-
vior working in stones. _

4. Ford IN-:as evidently bent by the fall, and after closing
his adversary's left eye, he received another swnerset, which
finished. him.

5 and 6. Ford was led to the scratch in a bad state, unable
to help himself—the falls lost bito the fight. Granger was
the most punished, as the only stifling hit Ford received was
on the ear.

To keep the game alive, another fight was kicked up be-
tween a rustic ploughboy, whose face was about six inches
broader than it was long, and a tailor from Basingstoke.
He was a snake-head one that a shot would scarcely touch,
and their attitudes afforded the highest filth Four pulley-
hanky rounds took place without the appearance of a blow,
and in throwing, Snip was always under, and the rustic was
anxious to keep him there; for the seconds could hardly get
him off. In the fifth round, Snip drew blood from his antag-
onist's nose, and the rustic put his hand tip, and looking sig-
nificantly at it for some time, he male towards his smock-
frock, and said he did not understand fighting. It was for a
guinea, and five shillings to the loser.
