band from Sleden, near Skipton. E. G. Hornby,
and other gentlemen of Lancaster, were present. 14 it
competitors appeared for the first wrestling match for
weights, and the sport was prime. In the final throw 5
Longmire beat M. Butterfield. The money was thus.

match followed. Sacks of sawdust were quickly th
into the ring, which had been roped for the occasion. ,1.
score of hardy young fellows were blindfolded, and

Battersby, of Skerton, took the bell, and commenced
" jingling " very merrily; helter-skelter after him welt
his blindfolded pursuers, and pell-mell they
soon tuna'

laughter. After this pastime bad continued for neihA
half an hour, "White-headed Bob" made a s atch al
Battersby, and over a sack they rolled together; butllt

" Bob" had so removed the bandage from his eyes tu„

GREAT WRESTLING MEETING AND SPORTS AT ..-t.0%
NEAR ULVERSTONE.— The great northern wrest tlba •
meeting came off on Friday and Saturday week, at eir
foot of the hill of Flan, from which the sports derive
name. The weather on Friday was favourable, andb'a
spectators numbered from four to five thousand. `1,4
wrestlers comprised the elite of the northern ring, of
included the champion of all rings—William Jackson's!
Kinneyside • also Mr. W. Coward, of Hawkshead, sos
Mr. John Atkinson, of Russland. Mr. Jacob Robinso
acted as referee. " The Trial Hunt," for three g°l4s
commenced the amusements; and the admirers o,nra
sported their " rhino " freely on their favourites. .1; oh
were dogs from all parts of Lancashire, Cumber'swo
Westmoreland, and Northumberland. The sP°l..,,t bid)
excellent, and four dogs carried off the stakes,
varied from 255. to 4s. The wrestling that suceeedene
admirable, the men being in prime condition. ErigArril

prize of £5O. After six rounds, the final fall was 39,00
lows :-1. G. Donaldson stood, Jackson fell ; 2. Jaelell•
stood. Donaldson fell; 3. Jackson stood, Donaldson jgbt
The trial between the champion and Donaldson, Logo'
be anticipated, excited much interest. Both men s,""tter;
a great deal of " pluck" and science, especially the Toe,
but it requires a giant's strength, in addition to sTeor
Oceti
to overturn the Herculean frame of Jackson, who otr
his opponent in beautiful style. A purse was then 06
tended for by the last 16 standers, and was won inlet
fourth round by Longmire, several others receiving s° 05.4
