SPARRING AT THE TENNIS COURT.
TOM GAYNOR'S BENEFIT.

Gaynor took his benefit on Tuesday, and although the
company was not numerous, it was respectable. The set-
ting-to was characterized by spirit, and all who "sheaved"
did their best. Among others who mounted the muffles:
were—Crayford and Smith, Alic Reid and Harry Jones,.
Whiteheaded Bob and Harry Lancaster, Ike Dodd and
Young Richmond (one of the snow ball fraternity), hut
young Massa finding Ike too rough in his compliments,
,4 cut the concern ;" Young Spring and Ned Savage, Scrog-
gins and Bunn (the Bow Boy), and, as a wind-up, Gaynor
and Clegg.

NEW CIIALLENtI ES.

Alic Reid, who is very anxious for a job, said he was
willing to make a new match with Bishop Sharpe, or with
any man in England weighing not more than 1 Ost. 21b.,:
not omitting Dick Davis, of Manchester. • Among others.
he mentioned• Harry Jones, with wht,m he had set-to, at.-I;
a stashing affair they made of it. Harry said he was will-
ing, and wished his friends to come to cover, as there was
no man with whom he would rather have "a shy."

William Savage then mounted the stage, and said he
was.desirons'of having Harry Jones as a customer, to fight
him for 251. a-side. Harry came to the scratch at once,
and said he was ready. A sovereign a-side was then
staked, to be made two a-side the same evening, at Tom
Belcher's 'Mt the affair, as will be seen, came to nothing.

THE RING.
NED NEAL AND JEN WARD.

At a sporting meeting which took place at Belcher's, on
Tuesday night, 51. a-side were put down for a match be-
tween Ward and Neal, to fight in two months, for a hundred .
a-side—fifteen pounds a-side more to be made good ,on the
ensuing night, or forfeit. The next night the parties met ;
but, on time being called, the gentleman who had put the
money down on the part of Ned Neal, said he had not seen
him to ascertain whether he would fight or not, and, there-
fore, did not feel himself justified at that moment, to pro-
ceed with' the match ; he hoped, however, an adjournment
would be allowed, and he would certainly bring forward
the remainder of the cash. • The adverse party declined
delaying, and claimed the forfeit, which he immediately re-
ceived. The gentleman then said he was still prepared to
back Neal against Ward, and would go the extent of 2001.
As a proof of this, he would deposit 201. in the landlord's
hands, conditionally—that if Neal should agree• to fight
Ward in two months, the match should go on, and he
would find all the money ; and if not, he would forfeit
half-a-dozen of wine. This proposition was promptly met
by another of Ward's friends, and 201. a-side were staked,
with a mutual undertaking to meet on Friday evening, and
settle the point—fight or no fight.

On Friday evening, accordingly, another meeting took
place, and the Castle was overflowing. Ned was present,
but Ward did not attend. A good deal of discussion was
beard, and all Neal's old friends were ready with their
' duct" to take 100!. to 60/. against him. At the usual
hour (ten o'clock), the olject of the assemblage was for:.
'wily stated, when Neal said he was not prepared to fight
upon the terms, and within
.the time proposed. He had
hut recently fought, and was not satisfied that his condi-
tion would be such, in two months, as to do justice to the
confidence' of the gentleman who had so kindly come for-
ivard to back him. Of Ward, however, he had no Tears;
he did not want to fight him, but if he came forward to
challenge him in a public manner, he should certainly not
say " no," and once within six months, would accommo-
date him._(Loud cheers.)—He conld not promise that he
should. win ; but this he could promise, and that was. that
he would never betray a friend ! And he hoped those that
would, might never have one.—(Applause.)—The twenty,
pounds a-side were then drawn, and the wine " had in.'
The first glass round being devoted to drink Neal's health
for his candid and manly conduct.

SIVER CUE TO NED NEM,.
A dinner was given at Sam Tebbutt's, Peter-street,
Saffron-hill, on Thursday, to celebrate the late victory of
Ned ; and, surrounded by his friends and good cheer, the
hours wagged merrily on. The health of Neal was drank
with enthusiasm. After which the Chairman took a short
view of his victorious career, and having added the grand
fact, that his glory had never been tarnished by defeat, he
proposed that a subscription should be commenced to pun•
chase him a silver cup, as a testimony of his hitherto
brave, manly, and upright conduct. The hint was taken,
and in a very few minutes, one-and-twenty pounds were
subscribed. The subscription is still open, and we trust
it will receive numerous contributions, for we are satisfied
that no man in the ring ever deserved better of his friends
than Ned Neal.

GApNoR, JENNINGS, AND CLEGG.
This trio met at Belcher's on Tuesday evening; but,
after a good deal of chaffing, nothing was done. Gaynor's
101. were ready to make the match with Jennings; 501. to
401. ; but the latter did not come to cover, and Clegg,
who was present, resigned in favour of Gaynor.

PHILIP SAMPSON AND PAUL. SPENCER.

These men will fight on Tuesday next, half-way he:
tween Birmingham and Liverpool, for 50/. a-side. It is
supposed the event will come off on the race-course, at
Newcastle-under-line, in the very centre of that sporting
district, " the Potteries." The provincial fancy are all on
the alert. Jem Ward is going down to second Sampson,

and rumour states that Ned Neal will do a similar kind-
ness for Paul Spencer. Torn Oliver, Stockman, Ad
others of the London Ring, haVe set out for the scene of
action. The betting in Birmingham, we understand, is 6
and 7t04 on Sampson. A sparring exhibition is in con-
templation for the edification of Yokels.

TONE GAYNOR. AND YOUNG SPETNG.

A deposit was put down ou Wednesday evening for a
match between these men, for 25/. a-side, to fight in twi.
months. A further deposit is to be made this evening,
at Spring's benefit, which is to take place at Mr. Teinple'
the King's Head, High Holborn.

NED SAVAGE AND HARRY JONES.

In consequence of a sovereign a-side having been depo-
sited at the Tennis Court, on Tuesday, to make a match
between these men, a meeting took place at lielcher's in
the evening ; when, from an accident, Harry's backer did
not come to time, and the cash down was forfeited.—
Savage's backers then offered to post the poney fin- a match
for 251., but on the whole of the cash being produced,
they backed out, and nothing was done.
