SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ANGLING.
:Front the :Inrsh y'Sporting.l
May I; the angler's delight, ..iffording abundance of sport. Bot-
tom and Jy tackle; natural and artificial flies ; variows sorts of
worms, cads, and gentles, are now in requisition ; for, if the wea-
ther be genial, all the various species of fresh-water fi,h w.ll move
and feed (jack and pike excepted) in rivers and running waters. Mir-
bd, carp, chub, perch, ranch, eels, (rant, and grayling, take a bait
freely, morning, noon, or night. Trout, at the Lamr end of this
month, are in good condition, and after they have fed a week or two
on the May-fly they are then indeed choicely well flavoured, fat,
firm, and juicy, and well worth the acceptance of a friend, and all
the skill and exertion of the angler to take them. Many god :Yowl
still remain full of spawn during May, and for the table are nearly
equal to smelts, if they are large, quite fresh, and well cooked. Eels
and flounders also continue to repay the trouble and per,:everance
of the experienced bottom fisherman. Towards the end of May,
the small and beautifully spotted little fish called skeegers, by the
Thames and Lea anglers, will rise at a fly as the weather and water
become warm ; they will also take a red-worm freely, but ti.is is
not yet allowed in the river Thames, the fence months not cea.ing
till .May expires. This delicate fish is becoming very scarce in the
aid is nearly extinct in the river Lea, where, some ;ears
since, the writer was accustomed to kill many dozens daily for a
few weeks in May and June, with a paternoster line, especially in
the Pool, and about the mills at Bromley. In poe.ds, carp and
tenth are now found among the ftesb growing weeds, rushes, and
sedges, and will seldom refuse a clean, well-chosen bait, if offered
neatly and skilfully. Night-lines for eels may now be laid in ponds,
I pools, docks, mere., broads, See. with every chance of success.
TIIF. RING.

SraiNo AND T.lNUA.N.—According to the articles between these
heroes, Saturd , the lst of May, was appointed for making a fur-
ther deposit of ‘..%)0/. on this match. Some doubts were expressed
as to I..a:rgares promptitude on this important occasion, and bets
were acibully laid that the money would not he in n!e good. it
was known the was in Ireland, and as he had not het n heard of
io the early part of the week, the belief in his disposition to with-
draw was strcN;thened. Langan's temper, however, was not quite
So frail as hi; opponents were disposed to believe. Ile arrived in
I.2ruloti on Friday, in excellent health, and Saturday bight cane to
the at Oil)Ifs, in high spirits. The house was crowded, and
much an.v-2 disnitting took pl tee in the swell apartment, where the
money was made good, at the same t itne that Welsh mains were fought
in the lower regions. Both Spring and Langan were moderaie until
their partisans got out of temper, which had nearly brimglit on a
fight fur bee. Spring and Langan peeled, but letter judges said,
consider the stake you are about to fight for. At a late hour the
company parted all right.—Ben Burns' nephew was inatelied against
Barlow, the Nottinghamshire man, to fight tur Std. 5/. de-
posit.—Betting has gnt up to 7t04 on Josh Hudson. The 11th of
May is the day for his combat with Sampson.
O'Nrit AND GAYNOR.—A further deposit of ten poun,ls a-side
was also put down at Randall's, on Tuesday night last, towards the
completion of the stake-a, between the above boxers.

Cl' ItTIS AND AyRF..-A new match has been made between the
above " light weights" for the 25th of May ; but en that day,
O'Neil and Gaynor fight. In consequence of which circumitance,
Curtis and Ayres will either enter the ring before or after the 25th
instant, as the backers agree on the subject.
