BOXING.

Two manly battles took place yesterday in Morton Enclo-

smith, who bad fought and conquered until he was quite sweet
upon himself.
Five rounds, which occupied forty-two minutes, were glut-
tonously contested. The first lasted eleven minutes, and each
had the ben of it, until Nesbit was floored by a stunning hit,
which cracked his left temple severely.
