BULLETIN OF THE BOXIVG- MATCH ON
THE KENTISH COAST.

g‘ It has been the custom for a few years past, to
amuse the Men of Kent with a fight on their coast ;
and in this instance, two men, higher on• the list than
those usually exhibited in this part, were pitted, viz.
Harry Harmer, of the Bekheronian School, and the
prototype of the deceased J. Belcher, a Man of first.
rate science, and Ford, whose former exhibitions have

ranked him amongst the more formidable on the list,
and who unites with science a spirit of ruffianism,
courage, and bottom, not excelled.
go Them-tam was in the meadow of a Kentish yeo-
man, a mile to the eastward of St. Nicholas, a •few
miles from Margate, contiguous to a spot called
Plum-pudding Island, and near to where the Men of
Kent performed deeds of valour in days of yore.—
Margate was head-quarters, and the arrivals on Fri-
day and Saturday were very numerous.
14 Generals Cribb and Gregson, Joe Ward, Tom
Jones, J. Clark, and other Officers of the milling-train,
foretold that the Emperor of all the Millers was on his
way to join the bands.
44 The Emperor rote at midnight on Saturday, ac-
companied by his Aides du Camp, and he travelled
with the utmost celerity. He got into his carriage
in London, at two o'clock, and at four he was at
Dartford s he breakfasted with a Swell, and arrived
' at Canterbury, nineteen leaguts, in eight hours, where
he dined ; and his arrival at Margate was announced
soon in the afternoon; but the town was not illumi-

mated, nor did ihe Emperor appear at the Theatre in
public. In the evening General Cribb was present at
. the Convocation of Amateur Millers, and the Ernpror
made him Prince of Thissleion Gap, and wasideased to
load him with the additional honour of being his
lieutenant.
The Emperor has got somewhat lusty, but he
enjoys the best health, and the Miller: were animated
by his presence.
64 The various grotesque vehicles of Margate,
drawn by donkies, mules, and ponies, were in requi-
sition early on Monday morning, and the combatants
having Arrived on the ground, the Emperor addressed
them.—' This,' said he, 4 is the sun which shone on
the iormer deeds of the 'brave men of Kent; ye are
all animated by the same valour. It is here we are
about to hand down to posterity the valour of British
pugilists. It will not rain till six o'clock; the heat
is the same here as at Margate. Bear in your minds
the combats at Thissletop, Blackheath, Wormwood
Scrubs, Coombe-Wood, and Rickmansworth, where
all covered themselves with glory, although there
were some complaints of plunder, which often happen
before leaving a town.'
,t At twelve the men stripped for combat, and the
Seconds were—
" Joe Ward and Bristol Hall—for Harmer; and
" T. Jones and J. Clark—tor Ford.
4' Betting current—Eleven to eight on Harmer.
THE BATTLE.

" Ronal, 1. Harmer made play, by slashing hits left and right;
but the right only told slightly—Ford having parried the left, and
returned with about the same force. They closed, and both
were down.—Betting got down to five to four, but slack ; it be-
ing evident that Harmer would not be able to plant hit favourite
kits on his antagonist's head as he had formerly done with Atfahby.
" Both rallied, and some determined fighting took place,
rather in favour of Ford, who had avoided his antagonist's right
hand at coming in. In a trial of strength, both fell ; but Ford had
tl,e hest of the round upon the whole, and also the fall.
Harmer " 3. made his tight-banded hit on Ford's forehead,
which told severely ; Ford, however, bored upon him, to get to
in-fiBhting, and he succeeded in doing so after other blows, bet
he had the worst of the round, and was thrown.—Betting as at
the commencement.

“ 4. Ford began to show bad training: he wag open-mouthed,
ard sparring for vrtra ; Harmer, however, could nor easily get
at him. A tremendous right-banded blow on Ford's bOdy was
placed, and it was returned smartly upon Harmer's head. Mu-
tual advantages took place in the round, but Ford received a heavy
fall.—Two to one en Harmer.

" S. Another tally followed, commenced by Ford, who kept
hitting, reg.:Lidless of his own person, and execution was done
ou both sides and Fcrd was thrown. At this time an armistice
would have been acceptable to both, they having beconse much
fatigued. _ _

J 6. Ford planted a good body-hit, and went down.
" 7. Harmer was stepped at going in to rally, and Ford had the
best of hitting; but Harmer gut him to the ropes with his head
Linter his lett arm, and did much fibbing execution, and Ford at
ipif extricated himself by dreppirg through his hands.
" S. Ford mainta!ned this round with much bravery, but he
aftereVards got to his staying system of fighting. Some hard
blows were eiehanged on both sides, and Harmer injured his
right hand by a severe blow on Ford's eye. Much bravery was
displayed on both sidesjsut Ford at length went down by exhaus- '
tin; after baying been bit tethe rapes, when a trial of strength
cook plate, and Harmer appeared fresh. He exercised his trade
of a coppersmith about :Le kidneys of Ford, who supported him-
:elf by the ropes, held up by the left hand of Harmer.
9. Ford summoned all his efforts in this motto; but he bad
received much punishnunt im the he d and body, and Harmer
having got him down to tilt pitch, where ke could avail himself
e.i superior science and strength etude considerable progthst to
victory in every succeeding round. Ford went doe.n without a
idow, and a mistaken clamour of foul was raised, but one leg
iseing something longer than the other, the same accident always
happens to Ford when retreating in a weak state.
" 10. Harmer got Ms antagonist against the ropes, in a situa-
tionwhere a hit must have ended the battle, but having so much
of it, he walked off, and left him to go down of his own accord.
This act of bravery and coolness was much applauded.
" 1 be fight continued 13 cr her rounds, but to detail them
would be to repeat that Ford had no chance, and in the 15th
round he received a hit in the wind, which rendered him quite
Feeble after. He went down from weakness in every round,
and received much additional punishment in protracting the

COMMA."
RENIARKS.—In the last report of a victory gained
by Harmer, it was stated that his fighting resembled
that of James Belcher, his cousin, more than any other
p?gilist. Like him he his a happy knack of bobbing
bis bead on one side to avoid a blow as exemplified
