Goofeberry 'Pair, held in 'Dubin fields on Mnndwf,
and yeiterday for the fecond time, eclipfed all other
Whitfuntide fairs, for gaiety and fun, in the vicinity
of the metropolis. The holiday folks repaired iuiit:rr
in crowds, In irtefinible was the attraftion of the
Bill of Fare which the inhabitants of Weilmitilter
had prepared for them. Vali:sus prises were put up
to run, wreflie, and play at Tingle flick for, in the
true (pith U old Englifh paflime. On Monday there
were eight candidates for the poise of a gold laced
hat, destined for the belt player at tingle flick. They
were to contend oh the principle of a main of cocks,
the winners of each fetsto to play together until only
one remained unvanquilled.
The favourites of this panime were three brothers,
of the name of Withers, and an ol J Lifeaguardssman,
named Chapman ; the latter had obtained every prise
he had contended for, and had beat the famous Blues
Ildn. Many, vet, detterous in the art, Came fr,al
the country to ow* them; but the brothers and
Chapman triumphed over their opponents. At length

had done, on a page crated for the purpofe t their
blows fell as heavy and thick as if they had been
threlhing cat; but each guarded his head Co des•
teroully, that no blood was drawn, and night coming
on, they retired by mutual content, ansidll the ale-
plaufes of the fpatators.
Yetierday there was a poney race, and races run by
lan for chentifre, betides other refined fports, not
mentioned in the bill of fare.
At a bear baiting in Tothill.flelds, one of the bears
having broke ionic, fattened upon a perfon of the
name of Shaw, whom he tore very much with his
paws, and would have defiroyed him, but for the

BOXING.
The match between O'Donnell, and an untried man
of the name of Wafddl, was decided yellerday on
Willfdon-green for 2o guineas. It is only necenry
to obferve, in giving a defcription of the combat-
ants, that O'Donnell is a complete adept in the fcience
of thefrjlic art, although his weight and fize would
not allow him a chance of contending with the up top
heroes of the fift. Weidell, a Spital.fields dyer, had
once or twice fought in hh own neighbourhood, and
a few eafy conquefts led him to fuppofe that he was
capable of entering the lifts with a man of notoriety
in the bruying art. He had the advantage in weight.
length of arm, and every requifite for his affirmed
1 proleffion—excepting courage and fcience. It being
holiday time, the road to the feat of atlion was com-
pletely filled at an early hour yefterday morning p.r
buggies, barouches, dun-carts, and chariots, were
the Order of the day. At twelve o'clock the com-
batants entered the ring i bets were 7 to 4. and a to
i on O'Donnell. .

WafJeTs was truly aukward ; he made a lore aukward hit, and
doled. when O'Donnell knocked him down eleanly-3 to ton the

him two hard blows which &tithed one of the earl& eonqueits

of a hit about him.
Thole uho backed Wardell have been convinced
of the folly of matching an nn(kiiful man againit
filch a man as O'Donnell. Wardell, however, proved
himfelf a complete.novice in every fenfe of the word ;
he was ignorant of the knowledge of boxing altoge-
ther ; and to (peak fairly, he is the worn that ever
attempted even a atect light.
O'Doiniell was fecomied by Cully and Ryan, and
Wardell by his brother and Rhodes.
A recond battle was fought between a Brißol
butcher and a man of the name of Coombs. This
tented Idled upwards clan hour, and it was decided
in favour of Coombs, after a goad deal ct hard
fighting. The butcher wa.. known among)) tl,e »ela-

felf In ; he, however, ufed his light hand entirely a:
the body, which, if it had been di:stied at the head,
would have jawed him vifiory. His opponent was
a good getter away, and ne-ier hit until within his dic-
tance, when his blows toll

Grinley hid by about two yards, having frpped dur-
