SPARRING.

The Royal Tennis Court, in Great Windmill-street, Saint
James's, was crowded yesterday, and more gentec4 than usual,
for the benefit of Scroggins. The amateurs had plenty of fun,
and some sparring.
dtbeat and Tucker made a rid:ening set-to, and played at hitting
instead of glove tapping.
Deaf Doris and Bill Abbot made a gallant set-to ; but although
Nature never mixed together a better piece of workmaushtp
than Davi:, Abbot's weight gave him rather the btst.
aNi:xr and B. Brun.—Here was an exhibition of strength and
of science. Burn hit Oliver through the guard at going off; but
some manly rallies followed, and the exchanges of blows were
about equal. It gaVe much satisfaction.
Shelton and Bales made a most excellent display of science;
their bits were delivered with much precision, their parries were
dexterous, and their quickness in returning astonished the Court.
It scarcely can be said that either had the best.
Randall and Harry any difference, this set-to was
better than the last, from the variations in science. Although
Holt had the worst of its.- d so would any other man), yet he
sustained the attacks of this wonderful perc..rmer with great dex-
terity; but Randall's sizatidet/$ could not be kept quiet till the
gloves were off. Much applause ft:tile-wed.
Turner and Saistpsen.—This was a real milling bout, and was
another lessen to Sampson against his random rush, which is
frenzy rather than game. Turner tapped the claret in the second
round, and he kept it streaming in a regular mid of several
rounds, by ineeting Sampson at going in. In one of these rallies
Scroggins hustled, upon the stage, and getting between them, said,
" This won't do; whet be ye deter ?" Cries of "Go on!" and
" Na, no !" were vociferated, and the men took off the gloves.
IFut Country Dick and a Intrancleshirs lad had .a turn; but
Dick, always ready, usiikd away, and chalienged VI map 1 the
world, and gw.: half a stones
Tsung Richnsonst, or Richmond's pupil, operated upon a white
man's head gaily; and Scroggins returned thanks in a weds. '
Joshua Hudson mounted the stage, and challenged to fight
Randall, who took his turn there, and said, though he had tie-
dined fighting, he would accommodate Joshua in six months,
for two orthree hundred guineas.
' Ned Turner said he would fight D. Hudson for any sum, on
the same day, or give a stone to any man but Randall; but
David being absent, there was no answer.
