FIGHT BETWEEN PERKINS AND PRICE FOR
TWENTY- FIVE POUNDS A -SIDE.

This provincial milling match took place on Tuesday
last at Wandwich Downs, 23 miles from Oxford, on the
borders of Berkshire, and four miles from Wandwieh, and
derived its principal interest from the circumstance of Per-
kins having lately beaten Rains, a member of the Metro-
politan ring, at Egham. It excited much curiosity among
the amateurs of the fancy bred under the academic shades
and bowers of Oxford University, a whole covey of whom
were on the wing to attend this pugilistic exhibition. Some
of the bright stars of the London Ring had been applied to
to superintend the business of the day, and accordingly
Gaynor and Harry Jones acted as seconds to Perkins, and
Peter Crawley and Dick Curtis assisted Price in the aline
capacity, whilst Frosty-faced Fogo had been chosen referee,
and young Dutch Sam as one of the umpires. Price was
the heaviest of the two combatants by upwards of half a
stone; still as his (Perkins') brows had been so recently
encircled with laurels, it gained over a number of the me-
tropolitan ring, and the odds were six to four in his fa-
vour. There were but sixteen rounds fought; they oc-
cupied one hour and three minutes, during which Perkins
had the best of it from the beginning, and conquered his
adversary, Price—receiving himself but a slight cut in
the face, whilst poor Price had been subject to a vast
dal of punishment, and presented one mass of gore and
contusions. The friends of Perkins assert, that Peter
Crawley, one of Price's seconds, infringed the law of
boxing by sponging his man's face during the progress of
one of the rounds, and that, in case of the ring being
broken into, such irregularity would have been severely re-
sented by the spectators. Crawley, being a veteran, and a
distinguished ornament of the London Ring, fully acquainted
with its rules and etiquette, it is hoped that he will be able
to explain and repel the accusation of such an ex-parte
statement, as it is unpleasant and painful to find such im-
putations thrown out against a man of established cha-
racter, who, moreover, triumphed over some of the most
renowned pugilists of the present day. Betting was very
brisk, and considerable sums were won and lost.

MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE FAIR-
PLAY CLUB LAST NIGHT.

The Committee met at Harry Holt's, the Golden Cross,
Cross-lane, Long-acre, and the following Resolutions were
agreed to

That Mr. Spring be authorized to employ eight pugilists
to preserve order at the renewed fight betwen Savage and
Sweeney, on Tuesday next, at 10s. each.
That a General Meeting of the Subscribers be held at
Mr. Spring's, the Castle, Holborn, on Wednesday next,
when Mr. Spring, the Treasurer to the Club, will state to
the subscribers the receipts, expenditure, and present
amount of the funds of this Club.

That the present committee will resign at that meeting,
one of them being deputed to state their reasons for so
doing, and leave it to the subscribers to elect another com-
mittee at their discretion.

Mr. Spring, the treasurer, attended hist night, and in-
formed the committee that he had received subscriptions
amounting to 8/. since the last meeting. A spirited
Captain had added his name for five pounds annu-
ally ; a gentleman for one pound annually ; ditto from Dobell
of the Black Bull ; and auk/ Ben Burn, who had kept the
ring at the last fight, and was consequently entitled to a
sovereign, generously refused it, requesting it to be added to
the fun& of the Club. Such an act from the " auld one,"
at such a time, certainly deserves notice.
