BONING.

MOLT AND CYDONNEL.—To make up the deficiency
of the sports at Canterbury Races, the second match
between these milling heroes of light weight, was
fought on a line of Common about two miles from
Barham Downs, on Friday, the last day of the Races,
for a subscription purse of 95 guineas. Holt beat
O'Donnel on Twickenham Common some time ago.
An Honourable was the patron of the day, while
Oliver, Purcell, Reynolds, Randal, West-country
Dick, regulated the Cmnmissarylepirtment. Randal
and Dick seconded O'Donnel, and Purcell and Grin-
ley seconded Holt. The lion. Baronet held the watch,
and his motions were to the keep the men at work ; and
they were scarcely down, but he limed them up again.
THE BATTLE.—It was a very scientific combat cf
55 minutes, and a punishing one too.
Round I. After exchanging and parrying hits, O'DonnA was
knocked down. .

2. Holt chewed most science, and less regard at being bit.
O'Donnel parried his left hand, and returned with a good body
hit; and, in a close, both went down.
It was nearly equal fighting for twelve rounds, each alternately
haring their peas ; but, when in, they fought wish much earnest-
ness, and left but little time for thinking. Ilolt, however, out-
fought his adversary in these rounds, and seemed to be reducing
victory to a certainty.
1:1. O'Donnel turned the fight, by getting decidedly the best
of this round. Ile knobbed his adversary well, and !loured hint,
by a smart tye-up at the fourth button-hole.
14th. 13th, and Itith Rounds. O'Donnel continued to lead;
but he had out-fought himself, and Ilolt recovering, took the
lead in the 16th round. There was some good fighting after-
wards, but O'Donnel was shy, and the knuckles of his right
hand were dislocated. Fir several rounds preceding the 7,2(1,
Holt treated him jocosely, and kept urging him to hit.
The :a'3d round took the cAirrup out of Holt, as O'Donnel,
whose only chance was to hurt him by throwing, succeeded in
a cross-buttock, which' stunned him, and Ilolt fought five rounds
after, and then gave in.
They are equal weights and heights, and to use a
cant expression on the ground, "change their clothes,
and their wives would not know them," they were
so much disfigured.

to go abroad.
