PUGILISM.
At htdf-past twelve o'clock en Saturday, Mr. Jatbsoa
and some of the chief Members of the Pugilistic Club,
arrived at the Cock, at Sutton, where the men wete gear-
tered, and shortly afterwards the signal was give, for I
move to the seta* of action, which was sitesssd on an
elevated plain about two miles distant. The rain, which
continued to poor with little intermission, bad so elect
on the Wads of these who bad arrived, sad they peer
seeded to the riag in the highest spirits.
THE BIRMINGHAM YOUTH AND H:TDSON.
A few minutes before One " Brummagem" entered the
ring, and was soon afterwards followed by Hudson: The
former was attended by Spring and Randall, and the latter
by Purcell and Oliver. On stripping, they both appeared
to be In the finest condition.; but to point of flesh sad
'attack, Hudson was manifestly the best for choice, sad
be ems backed freely at six to four. To describe ouch
mad of the fight, as it occurred, would be more than
'earlindle would permit, as well as prove tedious to the
I artier- The contest proceeded with mutual bravery to
14th round; but Hudson, although a good deal bit,
was clearly the best man, and was backed at two to one.
The odds, from thenceforth, gradually increased, till the
twenty-eighth round, when Brummagem' whose home
for the previous seven ronmls had tottered beneath h
weight, received a finishing touch on the ear. He fell,
sad was unable again to face the scratch. lisJeas,
although greatly disfigured, was still in comparative
vigour. It is but just to state, that the Birmingham
Youth entitled himself to the praise which he received,
and proved himself upon this occasion, as lie has spa
many others. a man of great science, and for his weight,
a powerful hitter. In point of personal courage lie is not
mulled by say of his contemporacies, but with Hudson
he was overmatched.
SECOND FIGHT.
"immense lICROOGIVI Ann PARINI. /On 25 GUINEAS a-staiit,
Notwithstanding the rain continued pouring dowse
to torrents, Seroggins appeared, and threw his hat in
the ring, attended by Randall and Paddington Jones,
as his seconds. Parish appeared soon afterwards, fel-
-1 lowed by Spring and Harmer. Both of the men sr
pearl in excellent condition. For one hour sod a
sinterter, both of the pugilists exerted themselves in
the highest style of courage to obtain time viewer.
The rAniegto wer.• frequent indeed-2 to lon Scrog-
gins-3 to lon Parish-3 to 1 again on Scroggins
—then other changes. In the 52d round, trout the
diiteessed state of Parish, an
Rdall threw up his 110,1
as it did not appear that Parish would again be able
to appear at the scratch. He how. ver recovered; and
fonght till the 69th round; bat in the last threat
rounds, it was a hundred pounds to a farthing in,
favour of Scroggins, who won the battle.
THIRD FIGHT.
Between JohNsoa (the new man of colour, Rich.
'Bond's man,) and Smith the wathrman, who recently de-
flated Spencer the butcher, for 101. aside, and a purse
'if 101. from the P. C. The Black was seconded by
Illlabsaond and Paddington Jones; and Stuith
by
Sprlngiand Martin. On stripping, the long arms of
the Black appeared tremendous, and hr was also in
excellent condition. Smith scarce'sy went up to him, be-
fore he was hit down like a shot. In the second round
be touched the Black on the body, but was again shut
down. The third was similar ; but the fourth, be
turned away quite panic struck, and positively refused
to meet his man. Martin endeavoured to lie:Need,
Smith to renew the combat; but all the horses belong-
ing to the King could not have isronght him again to,
the 'crotch. Martin was so disgusted with Smith"
%atilt threw his bottle slown'on the glowed quite in-
dignant. The shouting and laughter exceeded all de-
scription ; and Blocky felt quite surprised, and asked
what bad become of his opponent.
