BOXING.

A Famous day's play of pugilism took place yes.
terday at Moseley Hurst, before a numerous assem
Wage of amateurs. The great match wits betv;eei,
Scroggine, the slilor, who had distinguished himsell
on a different element, and Knoeulestiortlig, the baker
who was thought terrible from his having won with
Dutch Sam, about which event so mirth dispute has
existed. It was a sporting fight, at even betting',
but Scroggins had the turn. Belcher and Gibbons
seconded Scroggins, and Crib and Clark officiated
for Ito o wlswort hv.
Room) 1. Seiestific sparring at judglrg distance. Scroggins
made play and planted a hit, which was returned short. A
smart tally followgd, when some hitting took place, and both
• went doya,Knowtsworthy under, who produced first blood from
the tioso and mouths-5 and 6to (on Scroggins.
Li. Coca the best iou;ht rounds since that betwixt Dogherty
and !lilverthorn, Coomite Warren. Knewlsworthy planted a
hit, ;JnO a tremststious rally lbllowed, which *hewed niche spec-
tators which was the best in-fighter. lioth men frequently hit
each other away, and returned with real native courage to
t Ifru-
sive operations. Scroggios proved himself the best iii.l4hter
and the best punisher, and he hi: KnowitWorthy down at last,
deriding brood and the down.
3. This was aA obstitta-ely a contested rotund as the last. Both
men were on their mettle, but the hitting of Scroggiiis was ter-
rific. A most courageous tally again took Ware, and Kismet..
worthy naives' a dreadful right-handed hit under the ear, front
which blood flowed copiously it:wardly, and he was aga.n
knock-d down.--2 to lon Scrogei.,s.
4. Scroggins having got his man undo., exercised his pugilicic
talent with much adroitness. He hit hint in a rally to alt parts
!of the ring. Knowkworthy was returnable with moth courage,
1 but he was here beat, and never recovered hintself,—.4 to 1 tat

&noggins.
5. In ltiA rouni Scroggini, availing himself of the weaknos
of his ad% erAary. not only curt-fought hint, but he dieweJ hint •
st if moil decidedly the b. sz fighter, it ILI KllOwl.w orhy only
stood to rece4e the hits of his adverstay, who Woke way, hit in,
and did as be iled.
It would be uninteresting to pursue this fight for-
then in getiin. Knowlsworthy was knocked down at
setting to in the sixth round. In the st venth he made
his last, but unsuccessful effort, although he planted I.
a good t ight-handed hit upon his opponent's eye-lid.
In the eight round, Knowlsworthy was vg tin knocked
down, and he had no chance alter but at the head-
Stop. He was unable to come to time after the 15th
round, and his head was never out of chancery from
the first round. The battle lasted IS minutes.
Notwithstanding the victory Knowlswoithy gained
over Dutch Sam, he was always considered by the
best judges of fighting as a second-rater of ordinary
talent, and in this combat he spewed it to the ring.
lie is a thorough game man, but he is a stranger to
every other requisite necessary to a boxer. . He is a
delicate hitter,-4although a good sparrer, and has a
very unhappy knack of throwing away' his blows to
the advantage, of a man like Scroggins, who can
break and receive him. Scroggins is decidedly the
hest man of his weiAht of the-day, and reminds the
amateur more of the exploits of Hooper, the celebrated
tinrnan, at in-fighting, and at other tunes in stringing
hits, like the renowned Johnson. He is one of 'those
sturdy fellows who will not be denied ; and, in some
instances, where he could not get at his marl, be co.
vered his head with his left hand, went in, and got to
his free. He is a tremendous hitter, and can beat
any 11 stone man in the kingdom. •
A second and most courageous battle was fought
between lam Johnson, of Pad tingtein, and Roam, a
smith, a pupil of Wirer's. The former won in halt an
1
hour, after much good and determined fighting.—
Rowe received a bit at the close of the battle und.r
the lower left rib, which sort him to sleep. Joe Ward
and Jane: sectahltd the winner, and Oliver and Painter,
the loser.
