Johnson is a sort of Savvier:, fighter. He is al-
ways in action, but it is of that suet which the spec-
tator dues not see t! e injury he is doing to an adver-
sary at the time. Ills tight hand k terrific, and if it
tell once in halt a demi attempts, it will answer.
Although Lancaster is the best lia.:bter, yet he begins
well, and does not fruit t. Instead of throwing the
weight of the. body st kb his hits, he uithdraws him-
self on delivery, as it aiartiied at rectiviii.,T, and no-
thing can more folly jusLity thtse obsiJvations, than
that Johnsen never was bled during the fight. He
received some body hits which should have b en ap-
plied at the head. Anuthcrbattle of minor interest
finished the day's sport.
