REMARKS.

Sampson never fought so well in his life, Brown
had no chance with him, the long odds were com-
pletely floored ; five to one was bet on Brown over
and over again. The writer of this saw them come
out of the ring; Sampson very little the worse fur
welv, Brown's head cut to pieces; he vomited a
great deal, and cried like a child ; they were put to
bed at Ivetsey Bank ; Brown nearly killed, his
shoulder was put out. Sampson went to bed for ten
minutes, and then dressed himself; he arrived this
evening at Birmingham in a coach and eight, loudly
cheered by thousands of his enthusiastic townsmen;
it will make him for ever; he can be backed against
any in the ring. There was no second fight, the
ring being broke into; Gas would not go in.

FIGHT BETWEEN DOBELL AND BAILEY FOR
ONE lIUNDRY,D POUNDS ASIDE.

These men, it may be recollected, were matched
some months_back for 50/. aside, not so much fur the
sake of deciding which was most entitled to
pugilistic fame, as to settle a private quarrel. O❑
that occaeion Dohell was the conqueror, but since

then Bailey has expressed an opinion, that on a
second trial the result might be different,aind having
again challenged Dobell, a new match we.s made for
RM. a-side, to take place beyond fifty, and within
sixty, miles of London. The deposits were duly
made, and on Friday last Bailey's backer won the
toss for naming the place of fighting. In announcing
this important secret due caution was observed; but
it was soon known in the sporting circles that Stoney
Stratford was the chosen scene of action, and thither
the men proceeded. Both were in excellent condi-
tion—Dobell having trained with great assiduity at
Harry Lancaster s, at Hendon, and Bailey having
, and not so
Followed his example at Little Tim Davis's,
Kittseend, Barnet, under the guidance of Peter
Crawley. Dobell, the Fancy all know to be the
lost ©f the Black Bull, in St. John-street, and
Bailey is a butcher by trade, of the Bristol school :

too, Dobell had the advantage, >Ai that he was freely
backed at G and 7 to 4.
Great pains were taken to induce the men to
its
having the day of combat, in consequence of
having been fixed to come ofl on the same day on
which Brown and Sampson and Gas and Piefinch
were to fight, hut they were pertinacious in their
original resolution, declaring that their object was
net to gratify amateurs, but to settle their own
private differences. This determination divided the
attention of the Fancy, and while a great number
went on to Stourbridge, the place fixed for the
"grand affairs," others stopped to witness the deci-
sion of this battle,

Dobell, at half-past two, approached the ring in
his dreadosught and blue fogle. Harry Lancaster
and Tom Cannon accompanied him as attendants.
Dobell threw in his tile to try if the beaks were out
—but none croaked, which was bugged as a good
prospect. Shortly after Bailey appeared, attended
by Peter Crawley and jem Ward. Matters were
soon put to rights, and at 21) minutes to three o'clock
they set-to
