PUGILISM.
THE AMERICAN GIANT AND THE LIVERPOOL
CHAMPION.—The long-pending match between
Charles Freeman, the " American Giant," and Wil-
liam Perry, the " Tipton Slasher," came off on Tues-
day, near Sawbridgeworth, Herts, and to the great
mortification of the "Fancy," terminated in a drawn
battle, after a gallant struggle of an hour and aware
fere
in the course of which seventy-five rounds w
fought, the darkness of the evening only preventing
the continuance of the contest, one of the most extra-
ordinary in the annals of pugilism. This affair, for
some time past, has been one of the principal topics
of conversation in the sporting world, more particu-
larly among the patrons of the art of self-defence, and
it was regarded by many, in a national point of view,
as involving the honour of British boxers. Neither of
the combatants are known to fame, and it was onlY
their gigantic proportions and herculean powers th
at
brought them into notice, and not from any particulr
triumphs achieved in the prize ring. The Ainerier
was first met by Caunt, the " Champion of Engla"'"
while on a " professional" tour in the United States
s,
who, it is presumed, thinking it a profitable specul-
tion, brought him to this country, introduced him at the,.
sparring soirees, and thus he became one of the great
sporting "lions" of the day. In appearance be is
certainly a giant, standing within an inch of sev.eo
feet, and
.weighing upwards of eighteen stone, less
five than when he first arrived in the metropolis.
it may be supposed he is possessed of great mascro
power, and it is reported that he has, when
power,
his enormous strength, been weight.
After a successful tour in the
quently known to raise fifteen -hundred we'ahi,

with the science they displayed in setting to wituhrnh

could find a pugilist at all near his weight and -re
good fight might be the result, and in this they
while
it
not disappointed, for the battle on TuesdaY, whild be
lasted,, was one of the most severe that cou
ish_
imagined, both men receiving considerable

ment, and it would be difficult to say Which ha._r
Provinces with
natives
to
best of the rou?ds. Perry, though much inferwase,
the Giant in size and weight, is a fine, wel/Prascleffbing
in height about six feet one or two, and Weia
something like thirteen stone and 111314 unity,
A detailed account of the rounds would be -
teresting to the general reader, and we thereferei the
tent 'ourselves with giving merely this sketching so
affair. The reason that the men entered the •
late in the afternoon, was in consequence of Inaglind;
terial interference, the pugilists and their -tele,
being disturbed by the appearance of a local dosd
who cautioned them against the comolisaicijaged;
breach of the peace in the county for which he —ime
and after the assemblage had dispersed, sontelectea
elapsed before another suitable spot could be had
for a ring, and the consequence was that thouslne" the
to fight above an hour in the dark. Previ t% 00
commencement of the contest long odds werelalv
the Giant, but as the struggle for suprenn tbe
vanced he lost many supporters, the odds fell, Slibo
issue of the fight was considered to be very den the
and when the umpires and referee put a stop.t°en in
match, not more than a single point was g,1%,t fee'
favour of the Giant. The betting during the Inas are
days has been very brisk, and some thoossa..,

pending the result. The renewed fight, it is saw'
take place this day.
