Ilk mode of fight fur with a spring •cr.,ey his right foot, he throws his body in with the blow, which is sure to end in a close, 'Particularly trying to queer his opponent on the nqpper;7asc, .by which he. meant to - make an end of .the Chancery. Suit—his strengtls. prevailed—Eales, though I.e stewed much. pluck, was dreadfully beaten and car ried off the field, while his 'adversary, who likewise suffered 'mutt, marched round the outer ling, with the true blue in his bat, and quitting it received many con . gratulations from his friends for his style of boarding, and making his enemy strike his col o urs The battle lasted tg minutes. Afterwards, a second fight took place, between two candidates for pughistic fame, for a purse, which pro duced much amusement, !:or ten minutes, being hard fight ing. • Aibird, between Ayres and Ballard, was then fought, which closed the amusements of the day, in which Ballard beat his man.
