GALLANT 'FIGHT BETWEEN ' > THOMAS DAWES AND^ JAMES EVAN8, . Fob £50, ax OiTOB-wsidBT.' On Monday, Aug. 18, the lovers of a good mill were afforded a rest treat In consequence of a Ditto tournament having been lied for that day, between a oonple of aspirants for pugilirtlo honors, of the names of Thomas Daws ana James Evans (aHoi I Hurts), Both have met In the roped arena previously, each I having leathered hie man.'and that in such a style as justlfled their friends In finding their money for some future contest I The pretensions of both were'thought highly of, and were so lauded by their admirers; that, Jealous of the fame of "t'other" on meeting at a glare felt or two, the smothered are burst Into a 'flame, and the lads wore matohed at catch-weight for a £26 a elde. From the time of articles being signed, the rival houses of the Sugar Loaf and the Horse and Groom; when the deposits had to bt staked, were the scenes of arguments, each In turn being both persuasive and forolble. Notts, who was tho favorite at the LHorse and Groom,' Bedfordbury, became also she favorite in the betting, being considered by his admirers to have the'"pull" in cleverness and gameneas, although Dawes might be somewhat the heavier man. Dawes was not without ardent admirers, who thought he was not deficient In skill or sameness, and that his superiority in weight would tell s tale in his favor. Thomas Dawes, who win be twenty-four years of age on the 39th of the present month, stands 5ft Bin. in height, and on the £resent occasion wolghed about Set 81b. His previous encounter l the P. B. was with one Inch, whom he defeated Oct 7,1881, in 1 three rounds, which lasted only 10 minutes. The occupation of Dawes did not allow him to leave London for a lengthened pre- paration, but he made the best-use he could of his time in re- Juolng his fleeh, and went with Jem Dillon Into «atrlct training Tor about the last ten days,-at Garratt-lane. During the last i week he was more than once: called to London, In consequence | of'a deep domestic affliction. The natural consequence was, that, although strong and In robust health, he was much too "fleshy" In appearance. His colors for the mill were blue, with I a large white spot. James Evans (Nutts) was bom May 29,'18i8, consequently he Is twenty-two years of age. He is 6 ft. 5Jf in. to height, and I weighed 9st 31b. His only battle In the ■ ring was when he beat Benson, near Aldenhot, on Friday, June 13,1863, twenty-foni sharp rounds having been fought In 25 minutes. He eported of the present oooaslon, a white- sUk handkerchief, with a diamond spot and a mauve variegated border, for his banner. The articles stated that the men were to meet on Tuesday, Ai 19, but,-for nradentlal reasons, the manager of the trip hrough~t forward the event by twenty-four hours. On the day before the [fray, the respective"hostelrles" of the combatants were be- sieged by those who wished to know the whereabouts, which was not divulged until nearly ten o'clock in the evening. 'A large number of metropolitan followers of the Blng, Intermixed with a tidy sprinkling of gentlemen, met at an early hour at the railway terminus appointed, whence an hour's run brought the travel- lers to where a steamboat was waiting to convey .the belligerente on .their way to that mysterious spot known to the Initiated as "down the river." No time was lost in getting underway, which | was effected at a quarter to eleven. A good tide and a fast boat brought the nyageun to the first of the pre-arranged "spots" at f twenty-four minutes past eleven. Fred Oliver, with the Orestes and the Pylades of the Blng (Puggy and Martin), soon had the ring pitched on a level piece of green sward, surrounded byflags; | and from the sheltered and secluded, nature of the spot, even the grumblers and growlers were convinced a good pitch had been made. Precisely at a quartor to twelve, the lads walked at the same time to the ring side, and threw in their. Dawes was attended by Job Cobley, the "enthusiastic" and Jem Dillon, Evans having the services of Jem HHi; of Chelsea, and Tom Bar- nssh. The toss* for choice of corners was won by Jem BUI, for |,Nutts. The proposition for choice of the referee was scarcely made before a tiUny hat' was discovered by a wary watcher, which was found, on further inspection, to cover the upper ex- tremity of a local "bobby," who came to the ring-side, stopped ■ the further progress of the affair, and said three more constables . were'en mule This announcement was but too true,- for the re- serve blues came'up before a fresh embarkation could be effeqted. The tide by this time having fallen, the mud was deep, and the stepping-stones but so many traps for the unwary, who were caught In numbers. On arriving on board, mops and palls were I at a premium to cleanse the pedal continuations of the unfortu-. nates. On the muster roll being called over by Fred Oliver, the ropes and stakes, with their, guardian spirits, Puggy and Martin, | were found to be absentees, and it was' not for some lime—and then by the aid of a telescope—that they were discovered In another boat at some distance. The safety of these lndlspensa- bles (ropes and stakes) being certain, a quick trip was brought to a conclusion by another jaunt on shore.' The ring was soon pitched, the referee chosen, and the men ready for battle. 6 to 4 was laid on Nutts previous to the commencement The final artlstlo touches having been administered to the men, and the last bitof advice whlBpered, they/were delivered, by their seconds, at the scratch at one o'dook precisely for- . u , 1 . ' TBS FIOHT. . !. ''. Bound 1. The attitude of the men was not the most artistic but yet sufficiently so to show that they were not complete *.'4unoeev" although almost complete novices.- Dawes, who.was very flashy. Indeed, Is well made, with very good shouldenriarms, and loins. Be stands with his arms rather nigh, and with an uneasy move- ment with his right, whlob threatened a dangerous hit with that weapon. Notts' attitude, was rather neat, and he was very fit in- deed, the muscles showing plainly all over him. As soon as the seconds had retired, It was evident that fighthm was to be their "little game," and accordingly they got atlt ding-dong. Dawes was already busy on the side of the head with the right, and on the top of the same place with the left Nutts visited the mouth' with the left, and the body twice with the right, and rushed in. Dawes steadied himself, and stopped Nutts' rush by a left-hander on the cheek, which brought on exchanges of a heavy descrip- tion, until Dawes was down from the force of his own. blow, Time, 2min. 2. Both came up eagerly to time Nutts with his left ear flushed and a lump on the oheek bone; Dawes, had his month swollen and his left eye very red. Nutts was the first to lead off with the left, which was planted rather, lightly on the cheek. Dawes re- turned with the left ion the forehead, mulcting a cut: Nutts. not relishing these stingers, dashed in; rattling exohangea at half- armed distance to the ropes took place, where Dawes got down eleverly. 8. Nuttic who was up first to tho call of time,, had a bump or two on thy forehead, and was bleeding from the out; Dawes was niuoh flushed, and his mouth swollen. Notts led off. on the cheek, Dawes, In return, visiting she nose with the right, draw- ing bloods This forced good exohanges.unttl Dawes broke away, followed by Nutts, who wanted to get to close quarters. ' Dawep met him, and a rattling set-to at oloee quarters ensued;' Nutts delivered on the head, oheek, and body, receiving on the, body and nose heavily. Dawes, In this round, proved'he was the stronger nun,'oi he. fought Nutts Into bis (Nutts') corner, and administered three good upper outs on the head and body, and then closing at the ropes, both wero down In Evans' corner. ■ 4. Dawes came up bleeding from the nose; Nutts with his cheek, left eye, and ear "up; "'and an abrasion on the shoulder. Both sparred for wind, until Dawes orept to within, distance, and daehedront his left, but was short Mutts was also short In the return. Good left-handed counters .were then exchanged, and Dawes missing a right-handed upper-out, travellod round the ring, followed'by Evans, who hit out wildly in the pursuit opened the ball by a feeler with the bad hand, hoping to draw Nutts .within a right-handed distance, but he returned with* wild left-hander, which was out of all distance. Tommy, in' his next attempt, planted the left, and they were .busy with both hands for some little time, when they broke sway, Dawes getting well home on the nose aa he retreated. Notts again forced the in-fighting, trying all that was' In his power to turn the tide of battle In his favor, and taking his hiding like a man; Dawes' duokedt and retiring, was followed by Nutts, who was met by a ' right-hander on tile nose, which steadied him in his rush, when Dawes again trotted,-but soon stopped,' and some very vicious' exchanges took place, until both were down. Time, 37 mln. 18 to 23. These rounds were all fought In a manly style, and although Nutts persevered In the inoat determined manner, It was evident that the battle was going In Dawes' favor, and that it was only time for him. The blows administered by Dawes' left did not leave any very severe punishment, bnt the oontlnned and repeated taps began to tell a tale. In the exohanges at close. auarters, Dawes used his right with most effect, and, In foot bar is accldontto his left hand, be was also'without any marks of. consequence. Tho last of these rounds was concluded by Dawes knooklng Nutts down by a left-hander on the throat Time, SO minutes.. 23 to 38. Nutts was gradually getting weaker and weaker, but- to any question asked by his Bcconds, he invariably answered. that he could and would fight for a week. His left eye was, quits oloeed, and his nose enlarged, besides that he showed^eio punishment about the body. Dawes, on the contrary,' wis very. strong, and was only cautious about the too free use of his left. ' Dawes in these rounds lnoreaaed his lead, and; har accidents, the fight was all over. Dawes, as soon aa Nutts came op, landed' bis left lightly on the face or bead, and then, forcing the fight- ing, sent Nutts to the ropes, where he got a hold and threw Nutts; or fought him down, The last of these rounds' was con- cluded by Dawes planting bis left on this ohin, a stinger, which, sent Nutts down-on bis back like a shot. Time In, 30 mln. There were a couple of appeals made during these rounds, om, the ground that Dawes had fallen Intentionally on Nutts, but tho. referee ordered the battle to proceed. ' 39 to 68; and last These rounds were-only noticeable from, 1 the foot that although Nutts was so dreadfully weak that heTe* quired all the attention of his seconds to bring him round bt time to face his opponent he would still persevere in his en- deavors to alter the face of affairs. Dawes continued to have the- best of the hitting, the blows' of Nutts, with but few exceptions, having apparently no steam behind them; bnt so gamely did he try, that he cutDawes'. right eye in theforty-thlid round. In the forty-fifth round, the referee cautioned Dawes respecting the manner in which he fell on Nutts when they were down, but ordered them- to fight on. In the remainder of the rounds, Dawes fought Nutts down, and the 'latter had become grad- ually so weak, that,- at the conclusion of the fifty-sixth round,'. 'When Nutts was again fought down, they humanely threw up the sponge In token of his defeat, and Dawes, to the delight of 'bis partusans, was declared the winner, after fighting 1 hour 42mm. On such a game contest as the above there can but few remarks be made. The best man won no doubt, and bad his left hand stood, It Is our opinion that the battle would have been decided In a muoh shorter time. Dawes Is a well-behaved young fellow, 'who, although far from a novice, bis much to learn before he la a thorough proflolent He has a knowledge of the use of bis feet In avoiding an antagonist which stood him in good need in the' present fight end he also avoided being thrown very neatly several times. Notts has not lost any of his friends by bis defeat, as he did all that a gams and resolute man could do to turn the 'tide In bis favor, not by being a mere passive object of attack," Ibut by resolutely forcing the pace, and going in atTJnoe to close Snorters, when' he found he was losing ground at tho out-fighting, [is friends must remember that he was giving away at least five or six pounds, if not more, in weight whioh, at their respective fighting weights,- must tell a great tale, The loser was much ont .up at ..his defeat and a subscription was entered Into foe' him, whioh amounted to a respectable sum. The seconds of > the men did their duties In the' most satisfactory, manner, and sent them up marvels of cleanliness, notwithstanding the short- ness of the rounds, 4c. The arrangements of the Journey were under the management of the well-known Mr. John Patten, of the Horse and Groom, Bedfordbury, and were carried but in the most comfortable manner, So that, after such a good'fight to make things mors pleasant, the company were finally landed in the metropolis once more at half-past five In the afternoon. to 1 ?*' fc^Mo-MMM.
