White-headed Bob took his benefit yesterday. Among the
novelties were the first public appearance of the Ex-Champion,
Tom Spring, in London, since his departure for Hereford, and
the re-appearance of West Country Dick, after a long retirement
from public life. Spring did not set-to; but West Country Disk
took the gloves in his turn, and &hewed that he had not forgotten
the use of his f wes.
White-headed Bob and Ben Burns closed the games, and there
being a little grudge between them, each tried to have the best of
it, and never was a point better contested. It was science against
science, and strength against strength. Both bad their canisters
shook; but, in the conclusion, the experience of Uncle Ben gem
