RemAßKs.—ln 33 minntes there was more exe.
colon done tham in the modern system of 6gtiting
two or three hours. It was not wrestling at aotl
hugging ropes; it was all manhood, and whilst
Burn is not to be scoffed at; Shelton is the hest of
the heavy weights of the day. His guile, which
was once doubted, is tfecidedly of the tiist order;
and the manner in which he beat his flerewl, tits
antagonist, makes Harry Monier as good a man
as ever peeled; and it does credit to the imdlist
talent of the voeran Richmond. Shelton %%as
probably in better condi.iou than he ever teas be-
fore, and lie limed his advtjstary to a great nic,iy.
Burn is a very heavy hitter, but the practice of the
ring is wanted for him 'to judge .his diohnet.
Whoever may have him next will find him very
troublesome.
