SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GRAND TOURNAMENT

BETWEEN
BROWN AND SAMPSON,

YESTERDAY NEAR WOLVERHAMPTON,

FOR £260 ASIDE.

By ExpitEss.

The fight between these big 'uns has excited more
interest than any other since the shy for the cham-
pionship between Tom Spring and Jack Langan,
at Worcester, especially in the counties in which
the .men first drew breath. It had been all along
ieteaded that the fight should come off on the race-
course at Wolverhampton, and certainly a more ef-
ficient spot could not be selected for such a spec-
tacle. In the first place, the ground is so extensive
that no fear of any inconvenience or accident could be
entertained. Secondly, the good people of the town,
especially the gaugers, vulgarly called innkeepers,
would have done the trick by reaping a plentiful
harvest out of the victims from .I",unnun, and other
yokels. In the third and last place, the proprietors
to the grand stand on the course would have
pocketed a good round sum, by letting the seats to
the aristocracy of the fancy and others, from which
they could have had an uninterrupted view ; they
had calculated that they would have admitted each
swell at two quid a head. The stand will accom-
modate twelve hundred souls, whereby at this spec
they would have taken no less a sum than 2,4001.!
which must be admitted would be no dirt. How-
ever,
this caper was queered, and the Wolverhamp-
tonr folks were also queered out of their anticipated
lucre, for instead of the primas of the concern
keeping the spot where the spell was to take place
in the dark, it was buzzed at all the sporting-houses,
and boy, who is always wide awake, whis-
pered it into the lugs of the Rev. A. B. Haden and
the Rev. E. Clare, (who by-the-bye are the resi-
dent Magistrates of Wolverhampton), so what did
they do, but called a meeting of the rest of
the Magistracy, and came to the determination
to prevent the contest taking place on thy
race ground, as was intended by the leaders
of the competitors. At the meeting there were
some of the gentlemen in favour of the trick taking
place on the course, but the resident authorities be-
ing in oppOsition, they also voted against it. The
mandate of the bench was published twice in the
Wolverhampton Chronicle, yet notwithstanding, se-
veral gentlemen of the highest respectability in the
town, waited upon the Rev. Gentlemen, and in
most respectful terms requested to know (they being
well satisfied that they had done their duty in issuing
their order to suppress the fight which was illegal)
whether they would, should the fight take plaCe,
proceed to extremities ; at the same time, intimat-
ing the benefit to the public. The gentlemen re-
, ceived such an indefinite answer, that satisfied them
that it would be a bad speculation to carry their in-
tentions any further ; and T. W. Gifford, Esq. of
Chillington Hall, which is within 100 yards of
Shropshire, a gentleman of sporting celebrity, hav-
ing some time since expressed an inclination to
accommodate the men, it was resolved to obtain an
audience of the Squire, which was effected, and
he not only gave permission to allow the
tight to take place on his estate, but
actually agreed to supply them with stakes,
(wooden'2ins) and waggons to accommodate the pub-
lic. This out and out behaViour of Squire Gifford
was very soon communicated to the pugilistic emis-
saries, and they worked the telegraph with the
heroes. At alfout half-past two o'clock on Monday
afternoon, the Per, Harry Harmer, Tom Callis,
" Rein and Halter Maker to his Majesty's Royal
Stud, 1, York-place, Waterloo-road," arrived at the
Peacock, Wolverhampton, where they met Ould
Richmond, who had been gulling the natives all the
morning, and having received the intelligence that
the fight was to take place at Bishop's Wood, about
eight miles from the town, on the gentleman's
estate above-named, they proceeded (after the afore-
said Tom Callis had left his epitaph (card) with
Mr. Marshall, the clerk of Wolverhampton race-
course) to the wood to stake out the ring. Samp-
son arrived on Monday morning from Birmingham,
and took up his quarters at the Bradford Arms,
Ivetsey Bank, on the old Roman road, about
a mile from the field of battle, and between
Walsall and Newport. Brown stopped at the
Swan, at Compton, on the Bridgnorth-road.--
Both men were in excellent condition. Nothing
can exceed the disappointment that was manifested
by'the people of the town at the unexpected re-
moval, and we do not wonder at it, as trade is par-
ticularly bad at present, and had the combat been
allowed to take place on the race-ground, we have
no hesitation in saying the tradespeople would have
reaped an abundant harvest.
