THE FAIR PLAY CLUB.

In pursuance of the objects of this Club the Committee
met last night at Mr. Spring's, Castle, Holborn, and Re-
solutions were passed to the following effect
That the Committee have the greatest satisfaction in
finding that their plans were again attended with the most
complete success at the fight on Tuesday last.
That a benefit be held in each year, at the Royal Tennis
Court, in aid of the funds of the Club, and that the first
be held on the 26th of December next, when all well-
disposed fighting men will be expected to set-to.
That at every fight a member of the Club be empowered
to collect subscriptions for the losing man, or a second
fight, as the case may be, and persons visiting prize fights
are requested not to give any money to pugilists who may
take upon themselves the office of collecting.
That all future meetings of this Committee be held in
rotation at the houses of Licensed Victuallers who are pu-
gilists, and subscribers to the funds of this Club.
That no part of the funds of this Club be expended to
preserve order at fights, where the stakes fought for do not
amount to 25/.

That the Committee thankfully accept the donation of
71. presented by Mr. Stodvel, of Petworth, Sussex ; and
that a vote of thanks be passed to that gentleman, for his
liberal conduct and excellent arrangements at the fight on
Tuesday last.
That the Committee do now adjourn till Wednesday,
October 8, when in pursuance of the 4th Resolution they
will meet at Peter Crawley's, the Queen's Head and French
Horn, Duke-street, Smithfield, at right o'clock in the
evening.
In the course of the evening, Mr. Spring, the Treasurer,
informed the Committee that he bad received subscriptions
since the I,st meeting to the amount of 15!., and promises
of more. We have great pleasure in adding, that the list
of subscribers new contains the names of some of the
highest families. Mr. Jackson, now on the Committee, is
exerting his powerful influence in furthering the objects of
the Club and getting subscribers ; and the well-wishers of
the Prize Ring may now expect to see it perhaps more
popular and well-conducted than it has eter been before.
NED SAVAGE AND SWEENEL—Peter has agreed to
make the match between them for an even 60!., giving up
his claim to the disputed forfeit of Wednesday se'nnigbt.
They fight on the 30th inst.
HENRY JONES AND BARNEY AARON.—A match for
25!. was made last night at the Castle between these little
heroes. Five pounds a-side were deposited, to fight in two
months.

NED NEAL AND BANFIELD, A COUNTRYMAN.--A
match was last night made between these men to fight on
the 2d of December. They met at Reuben Marten's and
posted a deposit. Banfield, it appears, is well known in
Devonshire, as a hardy wrestler. He is heavier than
Neal.

WRITE ON, WRITE ON.

A BALLAD.

Tune--" Sleep on, sleep on, my Kathleen de2r."

Write on, write on, ye Barons dear,
Ye Dukes, write hard and fast ;
The boon we've sought through many a year,
Your quills will being at last.
One letter more, N—wc—tle, pen,
To match Lord K—ny—n's two,
And more than Ireland's host of men
One brace of Peers will do.
Write on, write on, &e.
sure, never, since the precious use
Of pen and ink began,
Did letters, writ by fools, produce
Such signal good to man.
While intellect, 'mong high and low,
Is'marching on, they say,
Give me the Dukes and Lords, that go,
Like crabs, the other way. .
Write on, write on, &c.
Ev'n now, I feel the coming light :
Ev'n now—could Folly lure
My Lord M—nt—steel, too, to write,
Emancipation's sure.
By geese (we read in history)
Old Rome was sav'd from ill,
And now, to quills of geese, we see
Old Rome indebted still.
Write on, write on, &e.
Write, write, my Lords, nor stoop to styl.., •
Nor beat for sense abont,—
Things, little worth a noble's while,
You're better far without.
