of the sporting wen. At sane o'clock George Curtis, attentltd

vourite, five and six to four:
1. On striiiping, Curtis locked much better than was antici-
pated; and displayed col.sider4ble masrle and bone. Inglis was
in tip-top ; a very strong fel:ow; and had also the
length and height of Lis antagonist. Inglis, contrary to exptc-
tation, was extremely cautious, waiting for Curtis to commence
ofri.insiye operanims. Curtis, with his left hand, slightly tapped
his opponent. An exchange of blows, het nothing the matter.
A long pause. Curtis retreated from Inglis; bet the latter lid-
lowed, and made a hit. left hand of Curtis told againq
Inglis's body ; and in a struggle fur the throw, Curtis went down

Two to one.

4 to 11. All these roundstvere fought in a most manly st) le ;
but thelast one was never exceeded in any previous batiie.--
Curtis punished his adversary all over the *me, till he was ex.
hausted, when Inglis recovered a little, and took the 1(.41; both
struggling at.the topes; breaking away ' at the ropes ag;:in, when
Curtis went down very much distressed, and highs Wias piping
in the extreme.

13. Curtis took the lead, as to fighting, and Inglis did n't -
know what to mar of it ; but the stamina of the latter, added
to his game, was not to be reduced sty as to impress the sptcta
tors that he'would lose the battle.

14. " It is of no use—take him away— it is a pity to see SO
game a creature punished without any chance of success," was
,the cry all over the ring. " I will not give it up,'" said Curtis.
This was a fine fightinz round, and Curtis received a heavy fall.

might have been related.
