FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP,
We have received another cassuntuacation front Reynolds, en
the subject of the late.fight :

TO THE SPORTING WORLD..
Giturtassii—l addressed you on last Friday evening concerniox
Langan's treatment, and conscious in my own mind of the truits
of that statement, I did cot anticipate any reply ; much less did /
expect so ridiculous, so lime, so poor a &fence, as that Spring set'
forth in the Dispatch of last Sunday. Ile says the principal part of
my statements are rank falsehoods ; but I thrtsw the lie-bask Whit
face, for I defy any man inexistence to cantradict a single- assertion
that I made in the letter allueledlon But why not hive said is
what part I was wrong?' I Could then have answered him. Un-
like hint, I willanswer his lettyr by giving good reasana why he
had better not have taken up the pen, for I ant confident the more
it is dragged before the Public the betterfor Langan.
lie says, when his friends meet him, they ask why he did not
win the tight sooner? and he says in his defeoce, that, his hand
broke " like glass." By the bye, I would recommend hint to be
cautions how he enters-the ring again with the Irishman ; fur, as it
appears he is made of such brittle materials, Langan may crack
him all to nieces, if he gets him on a stage. In consequence of his
hand breaking, having. so little roots to nse his superior science,
anda.Langan's seceer.d, Josh Hudsoti; behaving so well to make his
man win, it W2l impossible, 'Mr. Spring says, to finish the contest
newer, ,and that he thinks himself lucky in winning at all. I assure
you, Gentlemen, I chink his luck was in getting the battle-money;
, but to the latest moment of my existence I will bold up my band
against so barefaced a robbery. What difference could it have made
!to hint having more or less room ? It would not have finished the
flight sooner; for running away would slot beat Langan, And Spring's
!power of punishment with the hands had left hint. In fact, to-
wards the latter end of the fight, the fortune of the day entirely
rested on the- hest thrower ; bat in this, I say again, that Langan
was foiled, by Spring's friends, the lowest order of betting met;
who had got money heavy on String. Ily.this mercenary, cowanhy
crew, we were surrour.ded seven deep'; the men that ought to 'neat
out the ring, to a man, had bet their money on Spring. Was it
likely that they would Rog men away who wan: leanntig a helping
!hand and foot to make the threwmotie safe? The compliment to
Josh 'Judy:tin its my opinion, was badly timed ; and I am conft,
dent Josh feels it .fits him awkwardly ; but at all events it proves
that Spring is not deficient in gratitude. lie says, in consequense
of Langan denibriing to the stakes being given up to Spring, the
-Limpets were written to for their decision, and they have given it
in his favour.
In the first place, as his umpire was chosen by himself: Led nets
was chosen by his, we might easily anticipate the answer. r
umpire says positively that Spring won the battle--he was not in
the ring for several rounds—of course a very incompetent jud,e.
Spring's umpire confess,* in his letter that he has no knowledge of
the rules of fighting, but says that Largan did 'not get up to tin'
and wiffeily avoids saying whether *piing did or did not. lie dr.
anrtre, by stating the fact that Spring did not get up, that the Little
must have been a draw. Ile seenns ottended that the Hemmer of the
fight should say that he has not raised himself in the opinion of the
Fahey by this battle. The truth is sometimes unpleasant ; hut that
be Should be offended at a truth so plain, skews lie must be in pos-
session of a larger stock of vanity than I gave him credit for, Well
might the Reporter say he has not raised himself, to allow a novice,
more than a stone teas, and two inches flutter, to stand successfully
before kids far nearly three hours, though hacked. ny a ruffianly
mob. Ile says, oue-third of the time would have been suffiels:rt, if
the ring had not been broken and his bend had remained sewed.
'there I differ pith hint; for it Langan's hands were tied, he tiould
not have beaten him in one bouts
Spring charges me with keeping up invidioul distinctions between
English and Irishmen. Pernik Me to say, slaae, is not, a man in
existence who more highly respect, the true-hrait. Inglisfunan than
myself ; but these are :atens in all countries. Those Unit 111-used
Langan in the ring, did it front mercenary motives—they walla
have done the same to a Yorkshireman. But what made, the um-
! pines give such a denfston Must be, fiom tender-feeling:ref country
or pocket.—l am, Gentlemen, With great respect,
Your humble servant,
Cheltenham, Jan. 19. THOS. REYNOLDS.
P.S.—After I bad written the aboVe, the Endialematt, was rut
into my hands, in which• I had an opportunity pf readirg
Spring's second letter. The first part of it this letter has*atswered;
but he says Langan made no complaint. This I deny ; for he told
me and Josh repeatedly that he received kicks,- and that the mob
were. preventing his throwing Spring. He also says that Lan-
gan's kicks were phantoms of the brain; but I assure Mr. Spring
there was something more than imagination, for a number of re-
spectable persons iu Worcester *will hear witness that Langan's
sins and back had the impression of. the toe of a shoe as plait a; if
It had been printed. In his first letter of the ifith, in the Pi puck,
be says he wishes Langan's conduct out of the ring was equal to Ow
it ; but, singular to relate, the conduct he praisesin,tke nispoich,
in the Englisluircur which came out the same elan be says my can:
duct was not right : but this is excusable ; for it is evident, frosts the
style of the two letters, that they are not the proshiction of one
band.—T. R.

produced its evidence at the Somerset Sessions (which

pei haps, been paralleled in the annals of- humanity.—
In an appeal cause, a woman, who was there as a
wi,ness, swore that she had " never lost sight of her
husband for twelve hours together, at any one time,
either day or night, during a period of fifty years."
