BOXING.

A severe battle was fought yesterday morning in a field, on the
Merstham road from Tooting, an enemy having been found upon
the sneak in the vicinity of Tooting Common, where the stake of
twenty sovereigns was to have been cOntended for. The candidates
fur the prize were Joel Norris, from the West, who once had a turn
at Bristol Cabbage, for love, in a travelling name, and Harry Owls,
a Crawley youth of promise. The owners of the field played at the
whiter bog game as skilfully as any of the Commissary Department
could work it, and with vigilant assistants. Harris was seconded
by Jem Budd, and Moss handled Owen well.
Round 1. There was much manoeuvring for first hit, which was
received by Harris on the chest, and it was returned upon Owen's
lug, when a mischievous rally ensued, and both fought without
flinching front the scratch, until they stopped for wind. With their
nobs well crimsoned, they turned-to again, after having disengaged
themselves and rallied each other as instinctive as a well-bred buffer
would run at a bull's nose. The round lasted nine minutes, and the
vision of Owen was queered, but he drew his adversary's eye-
tooth, and floored hint.
2. Both were piping from hard work, and the claret dropped
merrily. Owen was thrown a smashing sumnterstt.
3 and 4. But little mischief was done, with the exception that
Harris was the best thrower.
S. Owen had got his second wind, and he led with much gaiety,
and placed some " chanceryfietr bits on his adversary's nob ' • but
that was no denial, and he went up to his adversary and grassed
hint by a tie-up body hit. Even betting, and " Bravo, both!"
was the order of the shouts.
From this until the ninth round there was much hard fighting,
which smashed the features of each ; and the ninth round closed by
Owen receiving a heavy fall, which bent him.
10. Owen made the play with much dwerations, and had the
best of a ganie rally, and closed one of his adretsary's ogles; but it
was his last effort. He was thrown again.
11. Harris went in to make a finish. Owen was too weak to ope-
rate. It was Father Thames to a duck pond—he was again thrown.
Oiven stood out two other rounds, when time told him out, and
Harris was declared victor after forty minutes gallant fighting. •
Tuesday, a pitched battle, for sixty guineas, half minute time,
took place about five miles from Uptoty between Jordan, a water-
man, of Worcester, and Wheeler, a navigator. They entered the
ring about four o'clock, and soon afterwards set to; Jordan, se-
conded by Johnson, of the London school ; and Wheeler, attended
by Lydiatt, a provincial bruiser. In the third round Jordan planted
a heavy blow above his opponent's left eye, which produced a copious
supply of claret. In the next five rounds Wheeler bored his man
dossn, without gaining any advantages ; but, during the four last
rounds, Jordan changed his system of fighting, went in to his adver-
sary, and hit him severely about the head—four to one on Jordan.—
Wheeler stood up one more round, only to receive similar punish-
ment, and he then gave up the contest.
