lEETING OF TOE FAIR-PLAY CLUB AT
SPRING'S, LAST NIGHT.

Pursuant to notice a considerable number of the pa-
trons of pugilism assembled last night. The room was
well filled, as the purpose of the Meeting was to elect a
Committee from the subscribers present, in order to form
and carry iato effect certain regulations for the better con-
ducting of the Prize Ring. The Editor of the Weekly
Dispatch was voted to the Chair, and the business com-
menced by several other subscriptions being paid in. A
pretty good sum bad been collected at, and since, the last
Meeting, and it was now swelled to a total of 7tl. Among
the subscribers were Peter Crawley, 11. annually; Tom
Cannon, 1/. dn. ; Tom Oliver, 1/. do. ; Jem Ward, 11.
do. ; our Reporter, 21. do. ; and mmy others, whom we
cannot recollect, came forward in a manner flattering to
themselves and the interest Of the ring, and promised still
further support if the club was well organized and effective.
The subscriptions having been read over by the Chair-
man, it was unanimously agreed that seven Members
should form a Committee, and that three of them should
be competent to act, the others being duly summoned.
The first two Members put in nomination were the Editors
of Bell's Weekly Dispatch and Bell's Life in Lsndon.
They were of course put separately to the vote, and the
former was unanimously elected. The latter would cer-
tainly hare been elected in the same manner, but he ex-
cused himself from acting with the Member already elected
in consequence of a feeling of animosity engendered between
them, from taking too great liberties with each other in
print. The Editor of the Weekly Dispatch replied. The
speeches on this subject would have occupied at least four
columns of our Paper ; and as we could nut do justice to
either party by giving less than the whole of what they
said, we merely state that such was the fact, and that the
cause of dispute was entirely foreign to the business of the
meeting.
After both parties had been fully heard, each agreed to
name a friend to settle the ratio of advancement that each
party ought to make towards a reconciliation, and business
was again proceeded with. A committee of seven was
ultimately formed, with liberty to ~id to their number,
and Tuesday night next, at seven; was the time appointed
for them to meet again. It ,vas understood that one of
their first acts will be to get up a benefit, and increase the
funds. Mr. Hunt, the proprietor of the Royal Tennis
Court, Windmill-street, has liberally promised the use of
the Court gratis for that purpose. Jack Fogo gave his
honour that he would provide the bills, placards, lee., and
was lottdiy applauded ; and all the pugilistic corps in town
hare promised all the amusement they are masters of
to provide the fancy a treat, and the patrons of pugilism
fair play.
In the course of the evening, " Success to the Fair-play
Club" was drunk with loud applause. The healths of
many of the veteran supporters of the Ring were also drunk.
A letter, signed Ned Stockman, and addressed to the
Chairman, was read to the meeting. Stockman disclaimed
any connection with the offending party at the late fight,
capressed his sorrow that any of his name were in the affray,
and promised to do all in his power to promote the wishes
of the Club. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and
many of the Fancy departed in high spirits.
