Thit match, for 100 guineas aside, was Night
on Saturday, at the abore spot, amidst thousands of
spectators. No battle, within the 20 years' practical
of Oar informant, had elated so much interest as to
the reault,.and'the betting (altlitiugh bets *MI g.if, the

that day, been enbrthous. Of the qualification of the
men a few lines will suffice, as their peiformances
mast 'be fresh in the recollection of trtritt of oar
Heide's. They are decidedly the two beat men of
the present day, something Under 11 stone, hut of
nearly equal weight, although Ttrrner'hat- height

ceived a smart hit ou the chin, but he served his man fur it by
another knock-down. Turner, in fact, irradown every round.
