t;cnyuting trona commanded a good view. Vail
inisibers of poft-cbaifes, buggies, and carriages,
fome with four, fome fix borfes, arrived in Maiden-
head from London about nine o'clock in the morn-
ing ; but on the previous night, large parties went
to Maidenhead, which was fo filled that beds at

lag could not he procured on any account. The
whole boxing carps of courfe were prefent ; but
the great majority codified of 'not the moll re-
putable part of the metropolis. The feene for

of one county had interrupted it, the parties had
their choice of feveral other counties, within half
an hour's ride. The fight was for One Hondrell
Guineas a fide, to take- place between the hours of

thctufand ; the dißance of the place from London
35 miles. Belcher appeared &II on the liege in a

GENiItAL REMARKS.

The fight tailed a t minutes, very* little repofe
being given between the rounds. Bourke at firft
fought with great eagemefs, but after the loth
round, he betrayed_weaknefs. Not much fcience
was difplayed by either. There was very little
betting-on the ground,the opinionbeing foltrongly
in favour of Bid,er, that few would back Bowler.

immediately put into a port-chaife, and left (land-
ing on the ground half an hour, while another fight
book place. This was very fcandalous on the part
of his friends, as the poor man might poflibly be
dying. Belcher only received one blow on the face
which left any appearance of his being hurt. He
'returned to town laft night. Bourke made one un-
[fair attempt during the fight, by attempting to bit
up Belcher by the leg,. that he might throw him
'down with the greater force. Bowie, however,
appeared as game a man as has been teen; but Be!.
cher, who had fully eaabliflicd his reputation be-
fore, has now proved himfelf the belt man in Eng.
land. He difplayed wonderful alivity and cou.
rage; but not an equal portion of (kill—Bourke
was Rill lets &in!. All the amatestr: declared this
to be the fevereft battle that has been fought fince
the famous combat between Big Ben and Johnfon.
After the above battle, the Rage was at twenty
minutes after one, occupied by Caleb Baldwin, an'
Lee (a Butcher).

The Butcher fought the aoth round with great
(kill and courage; but receiving a knock-dor
blow in the sift round, he was compelled to
in, when Caleb Baldwin was ilxlare.l
a conteft of 23 minutes, including a t very fci
.fic and defperate fought rounds. In the opi
riot only of the Amateurs, but of the ProldEoi
Pugilifts, the laft battle was by far the bell.
Belcher having beat Burke, in infolence of
tory, challenged Mendoza, and offered to fight
in a month for 300 to zoo guineas ;—to which
vado Meraidosa calmly replied—that he had
linqui(hed the trade of fighting; that he fup;
