Katy Peg, the gaze of Leadenhall-street, and the Tar of.
the frequenters of the Blunt Magazine, the heroine of the tale,
was the darling object of both the heroes in question. Tommy;
Moine, who held a aim** not under the Mures, but with.the
Master of the Balls, felt a passion hot as his own oven for this
tip top creature of tier circle. Dloore was struck " all of a
heap" when he first discovered the sneaking kindness displayed
by saucy Joe Anderson for Peg. Anderson belonged to
the frmernity. of tidarr-mahers, and was also a descendant of
" John Anderson, my Joe. Tommy, on the score of gallantry,
was determined ta have a turn-up with Anderson, if the latter
did not, " when the office WAI given to him," relinquish all
pretensions to the goddess of his idolatry. Bet Jae said, as
bow be voud'n't at any price: a cat might look at a King, and,
besides, if his Peg bad no objestion to become his Pal-for life,,
he -would make her his vile. This aoswes was explicit enough-'
nay, too much for Tommy Adore. He burnt with fury ! Bo-
shires was all up with him. The oven was neglected, the dough
went without kneading, and tke loaves were. parched up, to-a
chide:: in fact, Tummy was quite abroad: and nothing else
but an appeal to arm; could subdue his agitated feelings. 0,
this love! Jot observed, this challenge -wet his hews WSW'',
except fighting for nothing. Vy, you doesn't call Peg no-.
dim do you? Veil, never mind, Fit make suloots4 of you.
• spoil your time-making, blow me ! replied Tommy. Joe.
urged, he did not mean no offence to the roineus, but he
would make a match for three of the Sings pictures aside,
as he should then be able to treat Peg with a prime scarf."
The heroes accordingly met by appointment at the Three Her
la Cree Church-lane, Leadenhall-atteet, on Monday even-I
iqg lest. to. decide their fate ; aud. it was agreed between them
to sleep at peep o'day the. next morning behind the London
Hospital, Whitechapel-road. Peg (after the manner of the.
damsels of oulden times) also acquiesced to surrender her " lily
vigs,usauley to the vintner." Master Jack Whitney, one of the
clergy, was selected as the stake older ; and Jemmy Boulton, in
order that no quarrels might take place as to pedigree, another
of the " Weweep! tribe, was also chosen to fill the important
office of umpire on this occasion. Hercules in miniature! (H.
Gideon) and Sims were seconds for. Tommy Moore ; and Jack•
Barnett and Sam. Taylor officiated for Anderson.
Round 1. Both came up to the scratch full of " love and
glorf.'llrommy nabbed his opponent, hoping he should.soon be
able to take the conceit out of Anderson as to Peg. Anderson,
however, returned cleverly, and also drew poor Tommy'acork,
which cooled him a little. Both down, Anderson undermost.
2. Moore napped a shaker on his bretd-kaskel, and heavy work
occurred till the round was over. Both down.
5. Tummy had a balcat'of good luck in this mood; Anderseui'
received a saucier, and was also thrown. " That's one for Peg," ,
cried Te,nuny, laughing.
4, 5. Moore, worth twenty drati men, *sent to work, hut he
hit open-handed; be however threw his opponent.
8. Tommy stood- up like a game cock, and a sharp rally ensued,
in which he received suck a tremendous hit as to set ail his Norio
a-dancing„ and he fell down like a log of wood. " Oh my legi,"
cried an last-coder, and." that's a nice one for my Peg, 1 don t
think, my Tommy," chafed Joe.-3 too on Anderson.
7,8, 9. Tommy as good as Joe, and walling away for natty •
Peg, tilt their feetitigs were-overcome, and bath went down quite
exhausted.
10 and 11. Joe, by a flush bit, darkened one of Tommy's
peepers, exclaiming,. " Peg will never marry a blind one, my
'foamy." Anderson had the best of it till the 17th round, in
which the Baker turned the scales, and almost made the eiclar-
maker iusensible to time, by planting a kar.er under his left
listener. The claret flowed profusely. " Good night to Peg for
Joey—you can't win her.now," said Tommy, with a smile.
