Sorter than the Chicken, although he is one (tone
and a half hurler.. He is unknown to the ,
ppgililts-
of the metropolis ; but the many fuccefsful ;bastles
he has fot at Briftol and other parts of the Weft

ORE KRAL REMARKS.
The Chicken in this fight gained, if poffible, greater
popularity than on any former occation. It has
been Paid of him, that he was unable to fight in a
rally ; but that affection was controverted in the
prelim inflate, when he fought a powerful man in
;be compafs of 20 feet, where it was impolEble to
flirt from him: He is at once a fcientific bruifer,
ind a bard hitter, and none but a bottom man can
tope With him. Spray fell very far Otort of what
was expeded. He had no notion of fighting with a
feet tific man. He is a hard, but a very flow round
hitter ; and we venture to aflert, that he was inferior
in the pugiliftic an to any profeillonal man on the
ground.
The fight lafled 3S minutes. Maddox and Hall
feeonded Pearce ; and Wood and Mountain feconded
Spray.
After the fight was fettled, Cart, a Birming-
ham Hero, challenged the Chicken, which was accept-
ed, and fifty guineas were flaked to fight for within
I fix weeks.

A fecoud battle was fought; but it was deiiitute
