place. p:tsterday, on CL that! Common, near East

G ir4d;

• Hound 1. Alolineux hit Crib slightly on the break
alter: some catnious sparring, which t...as returned by
hits on the head' and body, and Crib threw his man,

2.: A -most detertnioed and despetroe rally„ in
which Mulinews bit Crib on the Friend:, which pro-
duced the fist blood, and several bard blows were
, to Elle. advantage of Crib.
3. iVlolitteux cornmenct.d a rally, in Crib
doubled him up by-a blow in the body, tint the 131. wk.
.iminediately got on his legs:
4. A smart. rally was commenced by the Black,
but he was again knock'ed.down.
5. This was, perhaps, one of the Most severe
rounds ever witnessed.. In a must desperate .and
courageous rally, in which blows were exchanged to
the advantage of each, Molitieux was again knocked

down, or 1)-4.; tell frotu the wetness of the grounl.

6. The Bh4ck hit. his adversary in the coTntneitce-.
ment of a rally, and Crib 0101;0' in his efforts to

return it, but 'be recovered, acid kooi:ked clown his

adversary.

7. Crib hit his adversary down in a rally. Five •-
to one on Crib.

8. This round was contested with courne, and
to the spettator it appeared that Crib beat .hub ad-
versary apparently senseless, atter a severe round.
9. Molineux, with true courage, commenced ano-
ther rally, and both Mel) stood and hit, until Crib

fell by accident.
to. Another round, in .which the Black shewed
superiority :in strength. For two minutes bits were
oxchang(d t/ the disadvantage of Crib, who had
manifesieu weakness, but the• Black was down.

This round was courageously maiutilintd by
the Black, who hit down bi§man.

1.4., Crib hit his adversary a dreadful hody blow,
but Molineux returned it on the head: The tight
continued until the 26,h round in favour of ,M4ll-
- inasinuth as he had shown himSellstiperior
in strength to his ,adversary, and had bored on him.
with that sort of codrage which beat down science
by hitting. In the 20th round
,the Black again be-
came weak, and he seized the ropes of the rieri; for
support, and held Crib there. The outer ring tor a
Short time was broken, but the-fight was renewed.
Crib was. weak but, courageous, and the Black de;
termiried. Crib had aitenipted .to beat this man, -
wlio ryas esteemed a notice, Otritatrd, but in this
he wtas deceived. Crib, finding he could not beat this
wan by gaiety of fighting, 'resorted to his safe mode,
that of milling on a retreat ; and it was perhaps:by
that Mclineux lost Cis battle. If Crib had.superiOr
science, Alplineux hap,. courage, equal; and it was
his baitom.which brought the contest iii his favour,
as two to one was betted in favour of MOlllittni in -1
,the 30th round of -the battle.
The battle lasted 55 unine!es, in which 34 toun4
`took place, ,and_it was all hard tiAling. Both the
!conibatants were dreadfully, beaten-and they were
depried-of7sight.. They were so mirch
hausted,- that, even the vraor could 'nnt'have stood
five-minutes longet. - The 81-aCk give u rather from
weakness than want of courage. He is certainly one
or the most promising pugilists that has appealed.
During the contest, Lords, Nobles; and Corn-•
mon,ets, to the amount of ten thousand, got a com--.
