The battle continued to the thirty-kennel round in
a very confuted hate, without any ring whatever;
fometimes one had the advantage and fometimes
the other. Pittoon almoll invariably fell from the
weak (late of his legs, but, before he dropped, be
generally cut his opponent dreadfully, from his
ttraight method of hitting.
Thirtyjicoad Round.—With great pains a fresh
ring was made, and the battle again proceeded in
aregular way, but it was evidently in favour of

Pittoon.
From the Thirty frond to the Tbirty:frxth Roused, the
Coachman made a good Rand-up fight, and it was
fuppofed by many, that as Pittoon generally fell at
the conclufion of the rounds, that Wood had the
heft of it; but it was not fo Pittoon invariably

The 35th round the Coachman drove cn with a
lode rein, as if totally regardlefs of his own perfonal
fafety, fo as he could be enabled to fumed in the
endeavour to inkire his opponent ; he did Co. and
threw in a blow with fuch violence on the pit of the

make the blood gulp out of his mouth and note.
'The children of Jima Rill kept up their heads,
and laid even wagers. The event jullified the opi-
nion which they had formed cf their man: for it
appeared that this was tie Lia dcfperate (tingle
of an almoft eahaufted man, collecting a!l his
remaining ftrength together fur that one effort,
while the youth and activity of Pittoon Rill pre-
vailrd, and the Coachman was beat out of time,
out of ftrength. and power of further endurance in
a few rounds more.
Ihe Thirty :Asir Round finifhed this fever: entreß.
Wood, after a hard (trunk, being quite worn out,
was obliged to yield the palm of victory.
The purfe of fifty guineas, out of which ten gui-
neas went to the Infer, was then given to the con-

George Madder and Paddington Jones were C'.

to otsierve, that there was a great difparity of years

The battle laßed about 55 minutes, which, con-
