THE FIGHT BETWEEN JOHNNY
BROOME AND BUNGAREE, FOR £6OO.

The above contest took place yesterday, a few
miles the other side of Newmarket—and since the
days of Molineux, who came from America to wrest
the laurels from Old Torn Cribb, the Champion of
England, and Dan Donnelly, the Irish Champion,
who left Paddy's land to knock about the nobs of the
descendants of John Bull, there has been nothing
like it. The excitement has been kept up for the
last three months all Over England, more especially
as Bungaree was termed a foreigner! It is true he
was born in Australia, and born of English parents,
who were settlers ; according to his account, he
had beaten several good men in Australia,
one denominated Old Dutch Sam, from his
likeness to that tremendous boxer of the light
weights ; and Bungaree had also defeated one of the
Clalkers, renouned for their pugilistic achievements
in that part of the world ; but it should seem accord-
ing to the mill yesterday, that fighting in Australia
is rather different as to character and style, to the
scientific boxing in England. Bungaree on going to
scale weighed lOst. 61b., and Broome but 9st. 81b.
The latter had fallen off his weight in the last four days,
owing to indigestion, hut in every other respect -he
appeared as fine as a star. The road appeared as
usual in high bustle and style; so much interest had
been created in the lordly nobs of the Corinthians,
and also in the " upper stories" of the commoners,
" that it would be in bad taste for a foreigner to
crow over Englishmen."
Bungaree with- great confidence first threw his tile
in the ring ; and Broome soon afterwards exhibited
the same token of defiance ; both of them were well
received by,the spectators. On sitting down close
together in the most friendly manner, previous to
stripping and the commencement of the battle, Bun-
garee observed, with a smile upon his countenance,
" Johnny, I shall lick you easily to-day—l am cer-
tain of it." "You have got that to do yet; and as a
proof that you have overshot your mark, I will bet
you 251. to 201. that you lose it. Nay, more, I'll
make it 301. to 201." And he immediately went up
to a sprig of nobility, who had made a trial of Bun -
garee abilities, and also backed him, saying, "Noble
Sir, lend Bungaree 201." However, no bet took
place, and the fight commenced. The odds 6 and 7
to 4 on Broome. Seeing what we have previously seen
in the P.R., Bungaree stoodbadly on' hi s pins, w ide apart
and not like a winning man. But, nevertheless, he
appeared confident, and, after the exchange of a few
blows, Bungaree was thrown. In the third round,
Bungaree put in a heavy right bander on the nob of
his opponent, which appeared, fur a short period, to
leave something like a stunning effect; but Johnny
soon shook it off, and then had it all his own way, by
giving the first clear knock down blow, drawing the
first claret, and gaining everything in his favour to-
wards winning. Broome now clearly saw his way,
and his practice in the Ring made hini go to work
with a certainty that conquest would crown his
efforts. Bungaree received repeated knock-down blows;
the superior fighting of Broome was manifest to the
spectators; and the odds from all parts of the Ring were
loudly offered upon Broome. It is but justice to say, on
the part of Bungaree, that he proved himself a game
man ; and he could make a good hit with his right
hand, but whether the conceit had been taken out of
him, or that he was getting abroad, he did not use it,
and he had no character as a scientific fighter. Both
his peepers had been "measured for a suit of mourn-
ing; and the last two rounds he fought totally in the
dark. The chance being against him, his 'friends re-
quested of him to surrender the victory to, his oppo-
nent, but he would not. However, as he could not
see his way, of course Johnny Broome, amidst loud
shouts of his backers and friends, 'Was declared the
victor in fifty-five minutes. Bungaree might have
been able to have continued the contest for some time
longer, as the fight was not exactly out of him, but
he would not consent to have his eyes lanced. He
Was punished about the body. Broome, excepting a
hand blow on the side of the head, had little to com•
plain of, and; after the fight, dined with several of his
friends at Newmarket. On the colours of Bungaree
were to be seen in large capital letters, " Australia
advance." From the specimen he has exhibited as a
fighting man, it might now be prudent to take on
him, Australia retreat."

Broome arrived at his house in Air street, early
this morning, and his mug did not show much that he
had been engaged in pugilistic contest. All the
houses belonging to the boxers were crowded to an
overflow last night ; nay, Air-street was filled with
persons az early as five o'clock, and did not feel the
least sort of fatigue at waiting till past one o'clock be-
fore anything like an accurate statement of the fight
could be obtained ; yet so confident were the backers
of Broome, that, at seven o'clock at night, three to one
were offered that he had won the fight. Jem.Burn's
house, Swift's, Spring's, Hannan's, and Peter Craw-
ley s, were crowded to suffocation, givin an indica-
tion of rather a revival of the sports in the prize-ring
against the horrid introduction of the knife.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

This contest, whiclll;sexcited such interest in
the sporting world, and upon which bets to an
enormous amount have been pending, was decided
yesterday in favour of Broome, who from his
'frequent victories had become the champion of
what is technically termed the " light weights." He
is a fine scientific fighter of great muscular power
and stamina. His opponent, an Australian,
named Bungaree, is also a man of great
strength, and for a foreigner, possesses great know-
ledge of sparring and the tactics of the ring. Both
men for the last few weeks have been in active
training, in the suburban districts-of the metropolis,
under the most experienced professors, and their con-
dition was considered b 1 the best judges to be first-
rate. The Australian, from being comparativly un-
known to the fancy, did not meet with so many backers
as his opponent, but nevertheless he obtained consi-
derable patronage from some of the principal support-
