Edwards and Chambers,
lFrom Wilkes Spirit I

Another of the thieving transactions call
cd prize.fghts came off on an island in Lake
st. Clair, above Detroit Mich, on Wednes-
day last. The two men were Billy Ed
wards, very clever boxer, q hard hitter.
and one ofth best behaved of bis class, and
Arthur Chambers. The latter is a good
fighter too, but gave away weight, and was
overmatched. Edwards fought him TO a
stand STILL and then found himself robbed of
the battle money upon the absurd prsteucs
that be bit Chambers on the shoulder
This is like the preposterous plea that Tom
Allen gouged McCoole after having punish
ed him all over The ring, and hit him with
such effect that bis gigantic strength was
gone, aud be was oil abroad. We have o.
ten commended the behavior of Edwards
He is too good for that business, and had
better seek some other. Proceedings that
could no longer be tolerated in ENGLAND
will not be put with here. The bes. man
is not allowed to win In cases where there
10 . fight, and 10 others the pretence of bav-
ing one is only the occasion for a eowara,v
farce. Fights are now made tho mere clo.ks
and instruments of q set of thieves, who
would not fight anybody themselves wItbo u,
odds OF about four to one, though they have
great passion for midnight assassin alton.
Edwards should leave what is falsely called
the "prizs ring" and let most OF the 9TH
ers os sentenced to the State prison % soon
&c possible.
