a-side, to make it IoOgs. s.side in .eue course of a few days: to
be a fair stand-up fight. Hall minute time. The match to take
place on the 1 itb of December, half way between Bristol and
London. An umpire to be chosen on each side, and a referee
upon the ground. The battle money to be 200 gs. a-side, and to
be made good a fortnight before fighting.
Immediately on the above articles being signed, 5 to 4 was
betted upon Hickman. Neat, it is said, wilt be nearly two stone
heavier than the Gas Light Man. It will be recollected that
both Neat and Hickman have defeated Oliver ; but with this
vast difference, Neat won it with great difficulty, after a long
fight; while, on the contrary, the Gas defeated Oliver in twelve
minutes; without giving tha Litter boxer a shadow of a chance.
Neat has only appeared once in the Prize Ring. He La a great
favourite at Bristol, and is one of the finest made men in the
kingdom. Neat is said to be much improved as to pugiliqic
science, and it is a battle that will excite a great deal of interest
throughout the Fancy.
HARRIS AND PAGE,

TOL TWENTY GUINEAS A sync, AT THE OLD irsitrwAv-Kotisz !ROM
GRAVESEND, THIRTEEN MILES FROM LONDON.
Yesterday the East end part of the Fancy, determined as it
were to have a mill of their own, and so snugly was it conducted,
that the Lads and Swills in the West were so much at fault re-
specting the right scent, that numerous amateurs arrived too
late to witness a single round.. The ring was formed contiguous
to the Chequers Inn, and within twenty yards of Old Father
Thames. It was a most picturesque situation for delightful see-
nery ; and, heightened by numerous vessels passing and repassing
'in full sail, it had an interesting effect. The yards of those yes-
eels that were near the shore were crowded with sailors, anxious
to get a peep at the fighting heroes, and join in the animated
shouts which were heard from the amateurs round the ring.—
Harris is well known to the Prize-ring; he is about 10st. 51b. a
good man, and can also fight well. Page is a knig/st of the oar,
and fancied, as did his friends, that he could fight a little. Harris
was attended by Josh. Iludson and Bishop Sharp; and Page was
seconded by the two Burkes, of Woolwich. In detailing the
rounds the amateurs would feel no particular interest ; suffice it.
to observe, that It occupied 45 minutes, and 27 rounds were
fought. Harris, on setting-to, took the lead in such prime style,
that after the first round, it was 2 and 3 to 1 in his favour; and
he won it without a scratch upon his face, except a slight touch
upon his motrh ; while, on the contrary, Page was so terribly
punished, that he was led out of the ring in a most exhausted
state, and Immediately put to bed.
A second fight was knocked up, from the liberality of several
Officers belonging to Woolwich making a subscription purse;
Robinson, a navigator, and a big one, and who had been de-
feated by. David Hudson, at Chat ha u., was nevertheless so much
attached to miffing, that he threw up his topper for another sky,
which was immediat-ly answered by young Burke, brother to
the hero who was defeated by RandalL Robinson was taken
in law by Josh Hudson and Sharp ; Burke was waited upon by
Ned Turner and his brother, and Randall was the umpire and
time-keeper—half-minute time. This turned out an excellent
fight, and equal, if not superior, to many of the Moulsey Hurst
and Crawley Down battles.
In the first round, salts ceremonie, Burke went in and gave
Robinson such a nosegay, that he went down like x shot, and
continued for several rounds after to have the best of it, although
much severe milling took place between them. Robinson, at
length, got his left hand into play. and the nob of Burke re-
ceived lots of pepper. The 18th round was as fine and as
manly a one as was ever witnessed. Robinson with his left
band put in three successive facers, bluing Burke quite away
front him; but the latter would not be denied, and returned
to the charge like • trumps the exchange of blows was ter-
rific, till Robinson went down quite exhausted, and his face
covered with claret ; £l5 to £5 went a begging, indeed no one
would take it. " He will not come again," was the cry. Robin-
son, however, under the encouraging auspices of Josh Hudson,
who told him " nothing was the matter," and " that the mischief
done was upon the other side," came up to the scratch, and
renewed the fight with great courage; Robinson planted some
severe left-handed bits, and was so pleased with his success, that
he pointed and laughed at his opponent with much derision.—
\ Sixteen more-rounds were contested in the most manly way,
with some little changes in favour of Robinson, but never any
thing like to give him a chance of victory. Robinson contended
every inch of ground while a shadow of chance remained, and
reluctantly admitted it was all up with hint. Burke, however,
did not win the battle without being well convinced that he had
been fighting; he was most terribly punished about the nob.
Young Burke appears a better made man for fighting than his
brother, and also seems a more scientific boxer. The amateurs
left the ring well satisfied with the sport. The ring was better
kept than usuaL Burke won it in thirty-four rounds, occupying
twenty-seven minutes.
