GRAND ROWING MATCH.

The long-pr stponed rowing match far a purse of sove-
reigns, given by the Gentlemen of the Red House Club,
took place yesterday. At three o'clock, the following men
were placed for the grand he it :
_ _ _

John Mitchel', Strand-lane
James Parish, ditto

William Noulton, Lambeth
I Richard Campbell, Palace-yard.

. - .
The distance, under the new arrangement, was to start
from Westminster Bridge, row through the centre arch of
Bittersea Bridge, and back to the Red House. The start
was very good ; the mea went away like a shot ; the rain
descending in torrents. Campbell got the lead, and went
away in style, and after a good contest they came in thus:
—Campbell first, Mitchell second, Noulton third, and
Parish fourth. The match was won by less than fifty
yards. This has decided Campbell to be nothing but an
uncommonly good man, and many hundreds have changed
owners. Betting at starting was five to four on Mitchell,
and no takers.

THE FIGHT BETWEEN HILL AND WINTER-
FLOOD FOR 50/. A-SIDE.
The corps pugilistiquc have been much gratified with a
display of the fistic art, between the well-known Dick
Hill (the champion of Nottingham), and Bill Moulds,
better known by the name of Winterfkod, in a field near
Breason, Derbyshire, on Tuesday, July 14, for 50/.
aside. Hill was attended by Arthur Matthewson and
Sampson, and Winterflood by Whiteheaded Bob and Stock-
msn, all of the London ring : both men showed the effects
of gdod living, and appeared in excellent milling condition.
They entered the ring about one o'clock, and immediately
commenced peeling. Betting now became pretty brisk,
and 5 and 6 to 3 was freely offered on Dick, and in several
instances taken.
Round 1. The attitudes of the men were far from being
of the first order, but they were, generally speaking. pretty '
fair fur provincials. Dick poised on his toes, with his
hands on his chest, waiting for an opening : one soon pre-
sented itself, and Dick, as quick as lightning, threw in his
left with great force on Winterflood's ribs ; Winterflood,
in return, hit Dick a slight blow, and in a rally went down.
2 to 7. Winterflood surprised the natives, and planted
hits well ; but Dick, while he received one or two on the
body, gave him some terrific blows on the head. However,
Winterflood seemed as hard as nails, and had yet confidence

of success.
8. Dick appeared cautious, but Winterflood planted his
right on the body : a desperate rally, in which the upper
stories of Winterflood caught it heavily from Dick's left
hand. In the end both went down. Dick now showed
marks of punishment on the body, and his friends looked
serious.

9. From this round to the 16th, it was a regular slaugh-
tering affair, Winterflood receiving in the face some heavy
punishment, whilst he hit Dick cleverly on the body; but
the superior condition of the champion kept him on his
legs, although hitting was now in favour of Winterflood.
17. This round was in favour of Hill ; his opponent
skipped about, and tried his science, but Dick carefully
stopped, and gave some up-hits. Betting now changed in
favour of Dick.
This went on in this manner until after the 30th round,
when Winterflood, whilst running in, received a terrible
blow on his right ogle, which entirely closed his eye; and
on coming again to the scratch, he staggered, and was
easily knocked down. The baffle lasted to the 38th round,
when Winterflood was unable to come to time, and Dick
Hill was declared the winner. The battle lasted one hour
and eight minutes.
The battle has caused much interest, and has decided
the point as to Dick's game, whilst it has given another
proof of the courage of Winterflood; but the science of
Dick carried him through, although his opponent fought
bravely, and would not have been heat by any but an out-
and-out good one. It is considered Hill would prove a
rum one against one near his weight in the London ring;
whilst Winterflood is a star among the yokels.
A second tight took place for a purse of V. 125., be-
tween Bill Atkinson and Truman, which occupied nearly
an hour. It was a scientific battle throughout, as well as
severe ; so much so that victory appeared alternate in each
other's favour. In consequence, the stakes were divided,
and an end put to the contest.
