BOXING.
Rook-xecm NG PPR rue FANCY.—riP rant nob fights,
which are all to take place, barring accidents, before
Christmas, have fur the last few days kept the mio•ls of
the smatenrs on the alert, and their books have bees
continually lugged out to note doers the variety of bets
upon the ',object. Such as "the four winners are not
named; Ward's winning against M trtin ; that Spring
and Martin are not both defeated; a long odds that Mar-
tin conquers Randall in less than half an hoar ; others
that Neat and Randall can't. lose ; the fight between
Spring and Neat is not over in an boor ;" and several events
comercting the above battles with races. The mien are a'l
buy u is preparatioa ; Randall is improved, Spring is
feting better, Martin is qnite well, Neat as lie 01.11;4
he, Abbott tinder a severe trainer, and nearly, if not
uite, hang.np to the mark, Ward in high condition,
Jost'. Hudson thinking shoat 'training, and Shelton
anxious to do the best for himself upon the same slit.
Jarkson, the Somers Town Champion, according to
report, is a good bit of stuff, a hard hitter, and has ap-
peared ones or twice ia the prize ring ; he is matched
against a pupil of Josh. Hudson, fur 40 sovereigns
side. This mill will take place on the Essex road to-
morrow, within ten miles of London. Both of the com-
batants are about 13 stone. Josh.'s pupil, Tibbitt, is
said to partake of some of the qualities of his master, a
sort of John Bull fighter, rouge and ready opon all oc-
casions, and a bit of a ghitton. The East-enders ale ra-
ther nuts upon him, and taking the odds. At all events
alrood battle is everted, and cut anti come again to
the end of the chapter. Another pupil of lindson will
make his appesrauce in the ring on the day that Ward
and Abbott fight, as a watch has been made between
Hamilton and English.

ors of Warren not appearing at the scratch to make the
money good on Wednesday last, Curtis received the fur-
-IMt of 51. Dick says, "as bow, be is very sorry poor
Peter ha been disappointed ; and that he alto likes him
so much for a customer, that if be can get, backed
&Eldest him (Curtis) bv any other person, be will not
at present take advantage of the forfeit of 51., hut fight
Warren 551. to 5111.. as Curtis is in want of* job."
*Plow, who sort cull/ was &fraud by Josh. Hod-
son. is determined to have another trial before lie gives
op all pretensions to the prize ring; and his friends, on
Thursday evening last, harked him against Day. Had.
son. The latter is alp/faker ; and if Harlow can but get
on the blind side of Dal. he stand* a good chance to
make it all right this:ifise. Little Day. however, will
prove a tronblesome customer. The fight to be within
two months, fur 1001, a side. on the great north road,
half way from Doiscaster.
The champion, Neat, is gone into training at Weston.

Spring. The salubrity of the Severn breezes, and the
altitude of•Wsitun•bill, which he intends to climb every
they, will, it is expected, purify him of that " gorgeous
fulness" which " dotk pall life's energies."
A istve'ann WARD.—The whole of the stakes are to
be made good beta een the above pugilists to marrow.
The Gas-light Man and Cy. Davis, who went out on a
Sparring Eillibition to Exeter a short time since, have
returned to town.
PRDESTRIARISM.—On Friday morning a match, which
excited very great interest at the Club Houses, and upon
which there was heavy betting, was decided on the Kit-
burn•road. Captain Smith, well knowo in the sporting
world as a good Pedestrian, undertook to ran fee miles
in thirty militates, fur a stake of 501. play or pay, and
time for the favourite at odds. He started at eight
o'clock from Madis-hill, a mile in and out, and finally
performed the match, not having even a second to spare.
The ample, and timekeeper declared that the distaste
had been fairly performed in the stated time, which had
the effort of settling all murmurs as to the bets. The
Captain was greatly fatigued. A Gentleman present.

for exercise, and to give bitn an appetite for his break-
fast ; he returned from the half wile in 1$ minutes,
