The first heat was severely contested between Lechmere
and Lady Jane—Tem, rode by gallant Nelson's namesake,
was kept back for the second, as hie rider had full confi.
dence in his horse, knowing that he " would do his duty,"
for, on coming to the post, he seemed to outvie all his
competitors, and went off with eclat, winning the two
heats by lengths. In running the second heat, Lechmere
bolted, or the contest might have been more severe.—Three
drawn.

LARKINS AND DAVID HUDSON.

This fight, for 251. a-side, came off yesterday, in Bel-
pham-Fenn, in the county of Essex, about 22 miles from
London. Larkins is a fresh Hibernian, weighing about
13 stone, and has come out under the patronage of Ned
O'Neal. David Hudson is not so heavy by a stone and a
half ; is as stale as three days' old mackerel, and blind of
one eye—so that in fact it was a "horse to a hen," and at
starting the odds were three to one on the Hibernian, odds
which, however extraordinary, proved to be perfectly justi-
fiable by the results. In fact, from first to last, Hudson
never had a chance. His day was evidently gone by ; and,
to use a characteristic phrase, " he .can scarcely hit a dent
in a pound of butter." Twenty rounds were fought in 28
minutes, in every one of which Larkins had the ad-
vantage, and in the end Hudson was hit out of time,
shewing his utter unfitness for the contest, and expo-
sing the folly of those who had backed him against such
an opponent. Larkins is a strong, sturdy-built fellow,
with an iron frame, and is a good wrestler ; but his pre-
tensions as a pugilist are " very Dickey." He is slow,
and is utterly deficient in that tact which a scientific
man would have brought into play. Still he may prove
a rough customer for a novice, and deserves encourage-
ment. There is a talk of backing him against David's
brother Joshua—but, according to the old adage,
"words butter no parsnips," and some think Josh would
lick him in a canter. There were very few Londoners
on the ground, and, upon the whole, little money was
won or lost beyond the stakes.
