followeal..--The blow floored him cleanly, and it Was a great

a smart rally and exchange of hits, Burn was thrown.
7. Crashing hitting on both sides, and Shelton was knocked
down by a heavy tight-handed blow on the head, which put his
, filatures upon the grimace order. Burn missed one right-handed

ft was any body's money, as both were weak and much hit, but
is forehead seemed to be fast covering his eyes.
Shelton was thrown in a close, or he rather seemed to
a bit of rest.

9. This was the best round in the fight, which commenced

gallantry. Burn had most strength, but Shelton's science serve 4
him. Both down and much distressed. _ _ _

ing, and although Burn exhibited more beating than the other,
he had the best of the fight.—Betting 6 to 4 on Shelton.

peared most fresh.
10. The last round in which Burn could make any fight. Be
stood to his work like a real good one ; but a blow from Shelton
brought him down forwards, and he was in darkness. lie, how-
ever, stood up until the 55th round, when he received a heavy
'hit on the head, and remained for some time motionless; and
Shelton must hays been glad enough to heir that he had won.
Burn is worse beat than any man for some time; and Shelton is
severely hit also.

In 83 minutes there was more execution done than
in the modern system of fighting two or three hours.
It was not wrestling at and hugging ropes, it was all
rnimhood ; and whilst Burn is not to be scoffed at,
Shelton is the best of the heavy weights of the day.
game, which was once doubted, is decidedly of
the &a order; and the manner in which he beat his
herculean antagonist, makes Harry Harmer as good
a man as ever peeled, and it does credit to the pugi-
listic talent of the veteran Richmond. Shelton was

probably in better condition than he ever was before,
and he timed his adversary to a great nicety. Burn
is a very heavy hitter, but the practice of the ring is
wanted for him to judge his distance. Whoever may
have him next will find him very troublesome.
