Front the 45th to the 53d there was but little to notice. Langan
had but one way of fighting, which he never altered. He fought
altogether at Spring's wind, but so cautious was Spring, that he
never did- the. job properly. Spring's return was always left and
right at the head, which Langan generally stopped, then rushed in
to tight, when a hugging mitch took place, and this is the brief his-
tory of every round.
From the 53d to the 84th round, the battle went on in the same
way. No chance for Langan until the 80th round, when he planted
his right hand like a sledge hammer on Spring's head. The ring
were loud in praise of his game, and it was admitted on all sides
that he is the best big Irishman that ever peeled. Spring, though
piping, kept his judgment, and fought irately to the 84th round,
when he went in and gave a few finishing touches to his painting.
Langan went down so weak that the cry became general to take him
away. Iteynolds was recommended to do so, but Langan would
not consent.
" Clear the ring, and let me fight," said the poor fellow, all drnp-
ping in gore. " I have not given in, and I can fight for an hour."
Reynolds and Hudson gave in for him out of compassion ; and
the battle was decreed to Spring by the umpire: but it was several
minutes before Langan could be persuaded to leave'the ring. The'
battle lasted from half-past one to a quarter after four—t*ti hours
and three-quarters.
Thunders of applause for Spring, who was taken away in Lord
Deetkurst's carriage.
