BOXING,

Between Ned O'Neale, the Streatham Youth. and David Hudsmo
brother to the John Bull Fighter, for £4O a-side, at lillindlow
Heath, in Sussex, 24fr miles from London.

Early yesterda7 morning the Fancy was in motion, but the Ama-
teurs generally were grumbling at the long distance they were corn.
pelted to go to witness a minor fight, when Wimbledon Common
would have answered the purpose equally as well. Hudson came
on the ground in first-rate style--a barouche and four—accompanied
by a mob of swell ast Enders. At one o'clock David Hudson
threw his hat into eh lug, followed by his seconds, Tom Owen and
Joshua Hudson. 0' 'eale, in a few minutes afterwards, waited
upon by Holt and Ward, repeated the token of defiance. Six to
four on O'Ncale.

found 1. On stripping, Hudson appeared too fat, while on the
contrary O'Neale looked as hoe as a star. David hit short ; O'Neale
also got away from another blow. In fact, it was a long scientific
round, displaying considerable boxing skill on both sides, but no
smashing or workmanship ; ultimately a few blows were exchanged,
yet no mischief prominent. In struggling for the throw, Hudson
was undermost. Loud shouting by the opposite parties.
2. This was a similar round. O'Neale would not fight first, and
he also shewed great agility in getting away. It was evident in this
early stage of the fight that Hudson was too short for his opponent ;
and the loss of his eye was likewise a great drawback to his
dons. Hudson often missed his adversary, hitting at random owing
to the above defects. In closing both down.
5,4, 5. O'Neale received two severe cross-buttocks, but he did
not Appear to be injured by them.
6,7, 8,9, 10. Tedious to the spectators, particularly the judges,
and of no interest to the reader.

11. This round reminded the amateurs of what Davy was in his
prime. He went to work boldly, when a sharp rally commenced,
but the length of ('Neale gave him the best of it. Hudson received
a tremendous hit on the left ear; the claret followed profusely. Hud-
son's ear seemed almost cut in half.

12. This was a •similar round, but Weak went down. Great
outing from the East-enders, " Go it, my little Davy !"
13. O'Neale received another cruse-buttock.

14,15,16. Hudson was terribly distressed, and his flesh seemed
shaking on his back. He was too puffy. o'Neale was piping a
little. The latter was thrown by Hudson like a tumbler. Seven to
four on the Streatham Youth.

17, 18, 19, 20. The truth must be told. Stale cocks must give
Way to young chicks. Davy has been a publican, and the promi-
nent and ill effects of the waste-butt here began to peep. Davy
thought himself now as good a man as when he be* Harry
Holt, disposed of West-country Dick, and defeated Scroggins.
His courage was equally good, it cannot be denied ; but Naturc had
been played tricks with, and training cannot make a new man, al-
though it may help an old one. In all the above rounds Hudson
could not reduce the strength cf his adversary.
21,22. Hudson's face had received some pepper, and O'Neale's
snug was rather flushed. Both the combatants seemed to be very
anxious to throw each other.

23. O'Neale received a severe hit between his eyes that made
him wink again. He however recovered from the effects of the,
blow, and had the best of a rally, till in closing both of them went
down.-5 to 1 on O'Neale.

24. Hudson fought like a Hudson. For high, if not the highest,
courage in the Prize Ring, no boxers stand better than David and
Josh. But a man cannot have his cake who has eaten it. This was
another sharp rally, but terribly to the disadvantage of Hudson,who
Was nearlyfinithed by O'Neale. Davy down.
25 and last.—O'Neale, as the term goes, had got David, end by
a severe hit on the latter's throat he floored Hudson. On Jos!).
picking up his brother, he said he should not fight any more. It was
over in 55 train. Josh. earri•:d David in his arms out of the ring.
