A resit days since was wrestled for, about a mile and a half
from Chumleigh, a purse of five Rulneas and a hat, given by
Mr. louts BAKER, and is likely to be held annualiy), in comme-
moration of his having completed the building of a new house.
Sever:.l first-rate players attended—amongst them were the Wrei:

. .
fords, Jollys, Levels Flower, awl a yo,:th, not twenty years
of age, named Wodaway, six feet two inches and a 11.01 high;

BOXING:
Randall and Turner are at length matched for 200 gainels
mide, to fight before Christmas, a deposit of £4O having been
put down at Franklin's last night, to that effect. To be a fair
stand-up fight, and not to take place within 3t) miles of the \ le-
tropolis—half minute time. The qualities of both the comba-
tants stand very high in the sporting world. The Lads of tip
lartiy speak of the enriing combat as likely to prove one of the
most intercuint battles that has occurred the last 2.0 years: Ran-
dall is the favourite.

Tuesday se'unight a severe battle was feeght in a large roped-
in ring, in the George 3.leadc• •' at Battle, between aeillie
%inmate and an Irishman, named Thlkerty. a mister, and com-
monly eked the Lama Bully, for two guineas. Thescombatants,
with their seconds and bottle-holders, entered the ring at eig'.t
in the morning, both confident of victory, and after strippir.ll;
set.to, iihewing some clumsy sparring, in imitation of their bet-
ters, but no science. Dogherty was the heaviest num, but Joe
possessed the longest inn, which gave him the advantage when
his antagonist bit d'art, which he frequently did, bath's no no-
tion of measuring distance, and thereby got 'mirth" punished
about the bead and fane. No pluck was denting on either side,
the battle having lasted an hour and 55 mintttes, and product,'
72 rounds, sustained with as much gluttony as might have been
expected from the hardiest veterans of thefitn-y, when the
Iridunan gave in, and yielded the victory to Joe, which wasrt
one time despaired of, in consequence °Phis having badly
sprained his wrist.
Two pugilistic contests finished the sports on Monday on
Durdham Down ; one between Conley and Old Caltle,com-
manly called The Sandman, who fought Dick Horton; his ft.!-
, vourite play was at his antagonist's fitted-basket, which. he pit
into afiTmeat, and finally iutelsed him up. The other was a
milling last .vee a two gluttons

A survey and measurement of the ground for the
new Kelso race course, at Blal:e!aw, was completed
last week, and a plan thereof made out. The length
-of the course is to be one mile and a third of extelle.
dry muir, the breadth 22 yards. The run to the wir-
fling post is a straight line of 660 yards, and a wry
gentle acclivity. In this respect it is more favourable
than the old ccurse, which wa; uphill to the post.

bird !

Monday evening, as the Engineer employed on
the premises of Mr. Tate, of Bermondsey New-road,
was adjusting some part cf the machinery of a steam
engine `employed in the dressiog of leather, one of
