THE BATTLE.

Round 1., Between four and five minutes were occupied in
form and measurement, until Spring made play, but his left
hand was well parried. Painter was aiming to get well in at
$ distance, and having done so, hr made a left-handed feint,
and slew out big right hand with the fall weight of his body,
and floored' bis adversary by a heavy hit over the left rye,
which decided blood' with the knock down.—Even betting
on Painter-5 to 2 against him.
2. Painter, in great confidence from the stream of claret
which flowed from his adversary's eye, made play, and light
• hits were exchanged. Both down, Painter under.
Painter received slightly on the side of the head with his
adversary's left hand, and, in closinz, both went down.
4. There was no hitting, but Spring was strongest at.
throwing.

• 5. After exchanging cortuter-hit;, Painter got his adver-
sary's head locked under his left arm, and ' weaved' with his
right. Spring had to, much experience to stand this, and he
seized Painter's weaving hand, and having his left leg pressed
against his adversary's hams, Painter received a severe fall.
6. There was more fighting in this round than in any pre-
ceding it Several hits were planted on each side, but Pain-
ter's object seemed to be to do well what he did perform, that
is, to make his adversary feel his right hand. Spring had ra-
ther the best of the round, and in striving to give the fall
he succeeded.

7th and Bth. No mischief was done, the men were piping
and scheming, what in the ring is termed bellows-mending
for more rutlianing operations.' They accommodated each
other, and went down nicely.
9. Here was some mischief cut out, ind the men met man-
-fully, and ' turned to' in earnest. At the close of a smart
rally, Spring received a chancery' right. handed lugger upon
the ear, which brought the claret out, and it was a strong
omen of speedy victory-7 to 4on fainter.

10. Spring got up gt:oggy, and fought his best, bat Painter,
although hit in the rally, broke ground with much adroitness
tog►et his right hand to work'aga►n. He was thrown in a
close.

11, 12, I. There was hut tittle fighting, but Spring's nob
was mortgaged by contusions, although he stood manfully to
his adversary, and fought game._
. .

14. Spring had the hest of fighting, and hit his adrervAry
off his legs.

To convey the latter part of the battle best
to the sporting reader, we need not go over
the whole of the rounds, as there was much
hugging, and but little execution until the 22d
round, when a rally took place %vitt' reciprocal
advantages. Painter had the best of the tiotind,
by getting his adverSary's head under his arm
apin, and dropping hint when tired of weaving.
spring was now much reduced, and his bead
bad suffered severely; but although he lost&
with much courage and fairness, Painter out-
generalled him, and the latter brought Spring
(sown a bit in every round. In round 31, :titer
some smart hitting, Spring received Painter's
heavy right hand upon the pew. It Was even
betting that he did not come again, bos he stood
up until the 4244 round, and his grime caused hint.
to be severely punished. Ile gave in, not by
word; but from helplessneSs, after
,fighting one
hour and four minutes.

REMARK4.--Paiwer fought this battle with
much jtati;'4liient, and he led froth the first round.
After the derAil given, we have only to add, that
he out•getieralled Silt ink;, who has shown himself
approved game.

Crawley beat the Clare-market Blucher in two
nr three felling hits, and he won't want to fight
any more.
