and left.—(Cheers for Burns.)

left and missed. Two blows—Burns hit Bob clean

favorite.

had the best of out-fighting; but bad some punishment in
a rally. Both men so weak that they stood and looked at
each other. Bob the strongest, and as game as a bantam.

round the ring, and was jobbed severely, Bob hitting and
Burn recovering ; Bob then got so severely jobbed and pu-
nished, it seemed all over—(Take him away.)
IL—Poor Bob had it again, and took it with all the
loving tenderness of a brother, but Jeni was fresh again,
and hit where he liked, his hand, was like a turbulent -dun,
always a rapping Bob, and at length floored him under the
ropes.

make an effort, and went in, after some hits, when Burns
went down, very weak.

again, and hit Burns terribly ; and on they went disputing
inch by inch, for one would not retreat, nor the other flinch ;
both down outside the ropes ; great uproar.

almost knocked up.

the ropes, gave him great punishment, and received more,
till both fell in the rencontre. _

19.—80 b went in, but was jobbed severely. He bored
Jem to the ropes and threw him very heavily. He seemed
the gamest of the game.—( Great cheers).

not come again to the scratch, when Jem Burns was de-
clared the victor, amid the loudest huzzas.
The fight lasted three quarters of an hour.
