SPARRING AT THE ROYAL TENNIS COURT.

The veteran Dan Mendoza took his benefit yesterday, and
we are happy to say it turned out rather flattering to his
feelings. The attendance was pretty good, and the sparring
as it should be. Lew Latham led off with Ned Murphy,
and produced a decent bout, and they were followed
by Ned Crafer and Yandel, who were well clapped.
Sally Renbens and the Bristol Baker them took the gaunt-
letts, and _showed off with good-humour. The game little
Baker was any thing but " a dead man," and kneaded
away beautifully; but the other being " full weight"
turned the scale. Uncle Ben and Toni Oliver then pro-
ceeded with the argument, and Burn had the best of the
last rally, and made his bow. Jack Carter then mounted
with Tom Spring, who was loudly applauded. Catter
began with his left, and shewed considerable more quick-
ness with it than in his fight with Ward. Spring, hew-
ever, who had managed him without the gloves was not
to be had with them, and after a few hits which lie foiled
easily, he turned all the attempts to his own adv intage.
The quickness and precision with which he moved back his
nob to avoid Carter's tape, which hardly ever reached him,
created no small merriment. Both left off with applause.
Barney Aaron challenged*Tom 'Reedie, and would stake at
any time—no answer. Kennedy and• Deaf Burke then
rattled a peal upon each other's mugs, and were rewarded
with a shower of copper. •
Jem Ward then had a turn with Tom Gaynor, who still
shewed marks of the ill treatment he received at Perkins
and Raines' tight. Jeia, of course, bad the best from his
superior• weight and strength, but Gaynor got out of it
better than might have been expected. Ward then alluded
to the Liverpool controversy between him and Simon
Byrne, and concluded by challenging Simon for 2001., to
fight within 100 miles of London. Barney Aaron had
next a most interesting and amiable turn with Young Be-
lasco. They peppered away till " the Twelve Tribes"
were in extacies, and Jew boxing rose at least twenty
per cent. Odd Dan Mendoza mounted at the con-
clusion of these sports, returned thanks in a grateful
manner, and particularly mentioned Spring as having,
greatly assisted him in making his heart easy and com-
fortable. He wished them all manner of success, and the
audience departed well pleased.
