BOXING.
In order to diversify the sports at Epsom on Thursday. a
subscription purse of £25 was collected. for a fight between
Dick Curtis and the younger Cooper, the gyro y. It took place
in the railed hollow, where the plate horses saddle, and in the
hurry to encircle the field of blood, hundreds of elegant females
had a peep if they chose, as they were snugly wedged is. A
smart battle of 22 minutes duration was fought, and much sci-
ence was displayed.
ROUND 1. - After exchanging several hits, Curtis floored his
adversary by a blow on the throat.
2. The Gypsey placed a ealking facer, but he was countered,
and sprung upon.with astonishing alacrity, and both fell.
and 4 were manfully maintained, but Curtis outfought hi;
adversary at all points.
In the 7th round Cooper gave a turn to the battle by getting
his adversary down; but aker this, it was the horse Moses to a
Donkey. Like the fernier, Curtis spewed all the blood, sci-
ence, and activity he was distinguished for; and it was nu di:-
credit to Cooper to have had enough' from the bands of one
of the best fighters of the day. Curtis won it carefully, but easy.
A second terrible rufflaning battle was fought on the extre-
mity of the Course. It was meant at first to be for lose, but
hostilities were suspended whilst a purse of five guineas was
raised. It lasted 18 minutes only; but the time was so busily
spent that their faces were as round as puddings : there was no
sight between them, nor could a nose be seen. Their names
were Baddeley and Hodgkins, navigators; and the former won
it, if it could be called a win.
Friday sennight, an affray took place at Pitnacree. Two men,
who had been drinking together in a public-house,quarrelled over
_ _

their liquor. and froniw;rds proceeded to blows. The scuffle
went on until they reached the top of a stair, down which one
of them fell, or was throws, and dragged his companion along
with him. The former fell on his skull, which was dreadfully
fractured, and expired on the spot; the latter, although stunned,
speedily repined his feet, and made his escape.

Wednesday se'nnight, while three men were em.
Played in cutting out a large stone from the side of
Kingoodie gnome, near Dundee, it came down un-
expectedly, when one of them was tossed from the
scaffolding to the bottom of the quarry, a height of
fifty-one feet, and only received a trifling cut on the
head, and some slight scratches on the fice!
