BOXING.
•
The match lately made between Hall, of Birmingham, and Quilts,
Coventry, was decided on Tuesday last. The ground fixed upoa
was a fine level, and just opposite the Grand Stand on Warwick
Race-course. Hall is well known in the neighbourhood, from his
having beat Sampson last year on the same spot, and from having
been since vanquished by him, in turn, in the vicinity of London.
Quilts, we understand, never before entered a prize ring; but be
had won some hammering battles among the Johnny Haws in the
country, and was considered by his friends to be quite a match for
his opponent. The friends of each party took their favourite for
choice; but before the setting-to, Hall was generally the favourite.
They were to fight in a 24-tiet ring, and to bi a fair stand-ep fight,
for 25 um. a-side, hall-nainotetime. Quilts entered first, and threw-

had such at direct upon him, at the instant, that be reeled as he rase
front his second's knee; and though he was very anxious to renew
the contest, the time had passed, and the Umpires declared the bat-
tle to have been fairly won by Hall. The men were,well rostehhd,
and it was a brave manly fight of US minutes. •
