BOXING.

There was a strong muster of the Fancy yesterday, at Fairlop,
to witness three fights, which afforded one of the ben days play
of the season. The first was between James Kirkman and Mo-
ws Wad,. for 20 sovereigns a-side, which was decided in fa-
your of Kirkman, after a bard conflict of one hour 25 minutes.
A second and-very manly battle was fought between Kirkman
(brother of the winner) and Wooten, good men. It was a rare
bitting siand-up fight, and every inch of ground was contested..
' Kirkman won.
A third and also a good fight took place, between two big ones
unknown to the ring.

three were observed to take the lead, which they kept through-
out. Their names were Botcher, Braithwaite, and Hann ; the
two former belonging to Hungerford stain, the hatter to Back-
side. The race was rendered very interesting from the sue-
:nous exertions mutually made by these young &Spirants to pass
each other. The two Hungerford men were forectintl and on
passing through Vauxhall Bridge, Butcher had coweinCed most

company on the water ; bpt owing to the circumstance of there
