'I HE FIGHT.

Round 1. Both men looked unutterable things," and each ap-
proached the other as if perfectly conscious he had his work to do.
Ward worked his guard and poised himself on his toe in his cu..
tomary form. ready to let fly, as an opportunkrmight offer. Carter
stood erect, hands back ou his breast, rather on the defensive than
otherwise. Some time elapsed in mutual caution, Came getting
away and keeping out of distance; at last, after nearly four minutes
had elapsed, Caner threw out his left, but Ward was awake, and
stop?ed him. The blow was too short for effect ; twice did Carter
try the same manauvre with as little success. Ward now crept in
and caught Carter with his right on the side of the head—another
little pause, when Ward again got in and hit right and left. Carter
now fought to a rally, but bit wildly, while Ward showed great
quickness and tact at in-fighting, planting a heavy blow on Carter's
mouth with his left. Carter returned slightly on Ward's cheek
with his left, and in the close was thrown.
2. More caution on the part of Carter, while Ward worked his
left fur a shy. Carter hit out with his left, but it was short and
stopped, as was another trial of the same sort. Ward now got
Within distance, planted his one, two, and three, catching Carter
round the neck with his left, hit up with fearful precision, gave,
him another deep cut on the lip, and floored him-5 to lon Ward.
3. Carter came up bleeding profusely from the lip, and flushed
in the face—Jem was ready, and all ou the tiptoe for mischief.
Carter again tried his favourite left-hand, but was prettily stopped.
Jena made a feint—but although Carter left himself open be did
not go in. Carter kept away for a time and got away front a well-
intended smack from Ward's left, and smiled. At last Jean stood
on no ceremony, ►ut rushed in right and left, jobbing well on Car.

visitation to his mouth. In the close for the fall, Carter was thrown
over on his head. _ _

4. Each stopped a left-banded compliment. Carter at length
went in. left and right, in rather a scrambling manner, and open-
handed. Jens drew back,, and jobbed him severely on the auk
Carter caught him round the neck; but Jena was alive to his oppor-
tunity, and his hghting was excellent. He kit up well, and in
the close threw Carter a beautiful crou.buttock, falling heavily

S. Carter stopped Jem's left with groat quickness. Jem neatly
rushed in with his one, two, and then drawing back, hit up in ad.
mixable style. The men bloke away, but Jem was with him, and
iteenter hits were exchanged. Jem now made himself up for
execution, and having tried his right at Cuter's body, got to a rally,
hasnmedng away right and left. Carter stood manfully to hint,
and popped la a good left bander on the side of his nose. This
roused Jens's choler ; he rattled in, delivering right and left, and
bitting up. A long snuggle ensued fur the fall, during which Jena
fibbed with great quickness. Carter got down. Ward falling
easy upon hint.
6. Carter hit abort at the body, and stopped Jem's right and left
with excellent precision. He then planted a slight blow on Jem's
hob ; Jim all alive, saw bis opening, and bit away right and left
with the rapidity of lightning. and the force of a two.year-old. His
execution was dreadful, and Carter's left eye was puffed to a close;
still Jem peppered away without mercy, and at last Carter fell on
los knees somewhat groggy.
7. Carter came up game, but Jem gave him no time for refiec.

dropped.
6. (30 to I on Ward) Jens jobbed severely with his right, and
then with his left, dr.wtng more blood. Caner fought manfully
with him, but without precision; Jem was busy at in-lighting, and
in getting away fell on his back, while Caner remained standing.
9. Carter stopped Ward's right and left with good science, but
Ward was quick upon him, made a good lett-handed job, and was
ready to Irt fly, but Carter kept sla &Amore. Carter made a good
slum with his right, but left himself open, and Ward, alive at every
point, went in to work right and lett, and again hit up with woe-
thrill rapidity. Carter mice more fell on his knees, and was bleed-
ing fearfully from all parts-of his face—his left eye completely dark.
10. Carter came up strong on his leg., though winded, and
stopped jem's left. Jem then chord for In-fighting, and bit as he
liked with terrific effect. It was slaughtenng work, and Carter
was grassed without a hope.

12. Carter was not to be stalled off: he hit short with his

left. Ward stopped a well.intentiooed delivery ; but in a second
attempt was not so successful, as he caught Carter's left on the '
nose, and a slight effusion of blood followed. Jens now rushed in,
and catching Caner round the neck, jobbed and hit up repeatedly.
Carter's arm gut entangled in the ropes, and he tried to grapple
Jem; but Jem was too teary, and continued to pepper him us the
face up and down till be fell--a woeful spectacle, and with a deep
'gash ou his left eye-brow.

was hit down.

of the contrary was so obvious, however, and his se-
bonds being convinced it would be inhuman to suffer
him to be 'further exposed to the severity of Ward's
hitting, they gave in for him, to the general satisfaction
of the spectators ; who. although they could not but
admire Carter's game, felt that the seconds performed
their duty in the humane Course they had adopted. The
