Morris tried to Set on Be knoes, and nearls succeeded. In his attempt,-when Holden, by sheer strength, polled him up, held htm for some time, then swung him down, and fell side by side with him. 9 The lame tactics were displayed on both sides; Holden, who was the strongest by far, forced the pace, and went to oloae quarters, getting the hug on again, and. holding Morris till he aWeeded m roeohmg mothor earth with his knees. 10. Morris was up first, with Holden soon after. Very little 3iarrlng took place, and. after a couple of feints for an opening, olden went In, and exchanges passed merrily until they got to the ropes, where Morris was fought down, receiving heavily on the month. . l 11. Holden was up first and waited a few seconds for Peter,' who came up with hie mouth bleeding from Holden's last blow In the previous.round. The Walsall lad took the Initiative, and forced the fighting, which was of a severe charaoter. The ooun- ten were delivered with stinging effeot, and passed with great rapidity; but the half-armed Mtting was at this Ume In favor of ' Holden, whoso blows had most powder, and who concluded the round by fighting the Brum down. '.'<-• * 13 and IS. These rounds were fought ,at a tremendous pace, and the punishment administered on both" sides was taken with great kindness. Holden had his left oye muoh discolored and swollen, while Morris was as red In the face as a young lobster, and bleeding from the mouth. In the latter of these rounds, Hol- den stood for no repairs, but rushed In, and seizing Morris, by sbeerforce, threw him a back fall, fallmg with and on him. Time, 81 mln. ■ 14. Both took rather long time before they answered to the call of tune. Holdon, although blowing, was Bmlllng, fall of confi- dence and eager. Morris was rather,weak, and looked tvery serious Indeed. After some very prettyeparring, Peter racceed- ed In getting his left on the left eye, Holden, In the return, visit- ing the nose, after whloh he fought his way to closer quarters, and the usual rattling exchanges ensued, until Morris got down at the ropes, with Holden on him In his rush. ,v- • 15. Holden had his left eye swollen and his lips out of the line of beauty, but there was a consciousness of great power In the manner he walked to the scratob. Morris was blowing, hot cool and collected In his demeanor. A degree of caution was display- ed In this round, and thoy rested for some time. Morris walked back to his corner until Holden went to him, and then retreated 'to the middle of the ring. Both sparred for some time for an .opening, Morris now and again taking a walk. 'When they re- newed the fighting, Holden was twice-out of distance with his left, Morris also too high a couple of tunes. Holden at length .got to business, and would not be denied, when counters with the left were exchanged like lightning, Morris getting on the eye •and nose, Holden with great severity on the mouth and hoae, .staggering Morris, who finally fell on his stern, Tune, 44 mln. 10. After some of the nana] sparring for an opening, to., they stood looking at each other, Holden having his handkerohlef ad- justed, and advice given him. On getting within Bhot, Peter's left' ' visited George's corpus sharply. Holden riishedln, and avoided -a straight left-hander by ducking. Morris stopped him as he went In. Morris then tried the double with the left, but Holden was away, getting his left on the body as he got baok. He then •dashed in, but Morris shifted his ground cleverly. Holden was "very anxious!. Morris, cool and cantious, waited for the attack. 4 to 1 w.as offered on Morris. Holdon, who by this time was very impatient, would not delay proceedings, but went, as before, to -work.wlth a will, and forced exchanges with the left, Morris get- ting well on the mouth and on the eye; Holden on the nose and -forehead, and not to be stalled off, bored In, and fought Morris "to the ropes, where he was down to Avoid being thrown. Time, <I3 minutes. ' IT. Holden was bleeding from the lips, and with .hit left eye nearly closing as he came np. ' Morris was blowing and flashed with a few bumps over his' forehead and on. the cheek-bones. Holden, as usual, would be busy, feinted and sparred with great .qnlokness. Morris waited for the usual ruahi and, wanting to break ground, feinted with the left qulokly. Master George -"stood the over," and broke ground. "Peter followed up, but was short with a left-handed' chop. Holden rushed in, when some.very heavy exchanges .took' place, Peter visiting the mouth and left eye; Holden thenoso and mouth with Bttnging -severity, and the round was concluded by Holden fighting Morris down. ' .j.'. ' 18. Morris was bleeding from his mouth as he came from bis corner. Holden, the same as previously, farced the lighting, and commenced the attack by planting his left on the nose, Morris Immediately on' the damaged eye in -return. This exchange led to a close and half-armed hitting at the body and head, until they broke away. They were soon at It again, both fighting at the body, when Holden got the double ■on the body and nose, Morris tried his left at the head, and then on the body, and slipped on his knees as he was endeavor- ing to get amy. An appeal.was made to the referee, on the ground that awi'ls had gone down without a blow. The verdict .wag, "figtyon." Tlmo, 05 mln. ■ ■'■ 19. Peter's right eye was swollen and discolored; Holdon with the same'bruises as before, but a trifle more bumpy. Holden made the pace very good, and forced counters with the left -at the head. He then rushed In wildly, and a scrambling rally was <onolnded by a break away. On' coming together, Morris tried the left double, when Holdon Jumped In, and tried to hold Peter, who got down, amldet derisive oheers^from the Holdenltes, and cries of "He knows bis place.". ■''*«*■ _ 30. Morris wss bleeding from the nose, and the right eye still lumpy; Holden'e mouth anything but shareable. ' He, however; got his left on the cheek bone.and went Into oloae quarters, when a couple of exohanges passed, and. Holden got on the hug, but loosed in a manly way when Morris got on Mb knees on . the ground. Time, one hour, . 21 to 21. These roundB were characterized by the very same maneeuvres as previously pnt ufforce by both.. The science dis- played by both was-only equalled by„the resolution equally, shown; and although there were appeals in consequence of Morris going down, there was nothing that would justify the' weree in cautioning him; ho never went down without blows Minn exchanged, or to avoid being thrown by Holden, who was tne hotter.wrestler. Holden, In all these rounds, forced the ngntlng, and proved muoh the stronger man, At this time, a ^"jsetnat the police were en route for the eoene of aotlon, ana wnloh proved only, too truer as a spring cart was seen in the owance, with throe of the local force as freight, ■ A . 25.

' 81 to 38. Morris was much the stronger of the twsjen his legs, and finding that Holden was trying to land his right, was naturally cantious, more especially as he had a taste of one or two hear shaves of tho cross-counter being brought oft At out- fighting, Peter had the most decided advantage, whloh he held fromround to .round an diminished, and now he was called upon to fight, he was by no means backward in meettngjSolden in his rushes; , although he tried his best to avoid being thrown by sUbplng down.

Holden'sieyes were both giving notice of closing. rEe obeyed the advice of his seconds, and rattled away, and oloslng, caught Morris, and gavo him the hug, throwing him •regular oross-buttook, and falling upon him. ■ .. 40 to 60. It would be tedious to our readers to describe these rounds in detail, as eaoh was nearly the fao-simUe of all. Mor- ris, who found he held the winning card In his hand, played tho old soldier, and began to pat on one for nothing enithen-get away. Holden followed him headlong, and after getting one or two as he went in, the rounds were all oonoluded by their fight- ing to the ropes, where they were either down together, or^Hor-, rls was down to avoid being thrown. There wereseverel ap- peals made by the seconds that Morris fell foul, but In all the cases op to the present, the mandate was for them to fight on. Time. 82 mln. , N to 80. Holden, who was strong on his lege, but nearly blind, continued his rushing system, to endeavour to snatoh the battle out of the fire, and his determined endeavors to prove the winner forced Peter^Bria to fight so fast to keep him at bar, that he was getting very slow, tired, and weak; in fact, so nearly was the balance even that the Holdenltes asserted their belief In the victory of the Walsall lad. Bound, after round did Hoi- den'persevere, and Morris, finding he could not stall him off with his left, was obliged to use his right, and for some two or three rounds they stood face to face, and fought with the right hand until they got to the ropes, and went down together, or Morris slipped down to avoid being hugged and thrown. Mor- ris, In one of the rounds, went down suspiciously, when he was cautioned by the referee, although his frtands averred that he had tripped. 61. Morris was not much punished about the face or head, but was rather bruised about the ribs and sojpulders; he was very weak, and no wonder, considering the great pace at whloh they had been fighting, and the ln'tense heat of the day. Holden was nearly blind of both eyes, and was also getting very groggy. Peter landed the left on the face, which brought on tremendous exohanges on both Bides, until tiiey dosed, when they, both fell together at the ropes, evidently very weak. ■ 63. They came up very gamely, butqulte exhausted from their, exertions, and their hitting had; as a matter of course, become of a very light description. Peter got his left on three times; bat could hot succeed In getting on Holden's half-open eye. - George rattled In, and they exchanged right and left with hearty good win, until Morris was fought down; falling apparently very weak.. Time, 50 mln. 63. This was a very abort round, neither standing on any cere- mony, bnt went to work to make a finish, and they stood foot to, foot until both were down together. tt. In this round Morris obtained a decided advantage, as he led off with his left, and knocked Holden back, but who came: again like a lion, and Wed to force the pace, bnt Morris pushed him back to the ropes, where he had muoh the best of the round by fibbing Holden until both were down together. 65. The gameness displayed by both was much admired, and so fast did they fight Out they were forced to have a look at one, another, until Holden, trying hie last chance, sent out his right, whloh, from his approaching blindness, missed its mark, and Morris went to work with both hands, and fonght the game Hol- den down at the rones. 66 and last. Holden was up as resolute as s lion, but-going blind as fast as he could; he. tried all that nature would allow him to torn the tables on his opponent, who met .his.rush with hearty good will, and took a decided lead In the: in-fighting, by getting on to the right eye several times, and finally closing it Poor Holdon could not see hia opponent, who fought him down in the middle of the ring. ' On being carried to his corner, it was found that Holden was completely blinded, and that his further ohancet of victory was destroyed, therefore his father. threw up the sponge for his defeat, and Morris scored the eleventh vidory, after fighting exactly 3 hmn 0 Wnuto. Holden was muoh out up at his defeat; and it was not for some time that he would listen to the consolations, io., of his friends. It must have been the wish of all who witnessed this really splended fight that the chronloler of the P. B., had more fre- quent opportnnitieeior placing similar details of science, skill, and courage before the public After many of the recent exhibi- tions perpetrated in the name of "the noble art," it was refresh- ing to watch the progress of this battle, and it positively herded redeem the tarnished reputation of pugilism. The contest win be long marked with a white stone in the memories of those who were fortunate enough to be present The winner, who is a well-conducted and civil lad. Is one of the most talanted bantams that has appeared since the days of the late wonder, foe Holies. He is a remarkably clever left handed boxer, and, besides, la not deffiolent in the use of his right; but his parttdular puglllstio gonlus Is a coolness and precision In discovering his adversary's weak points, and immediately taking advantage thereof by loop- ing continually picking at the same spot ' Ho is a shrewd judge and knows when to force the pace and when to rest and avoid danger by getting down without infringing a rule. Young Hol- den is a fine and manly boxer, and fully realises the promise we held out to our readers In our remarks upon his fight with Char- ley Lynoh. Although defeated he Is by no means disgraced, but has raised himself a whole host of friends, who, we hear, are willing to give him a chance of retrieving his laurels. Morris fell weak soon after the commencement of the battle, but that no doubt arose from tho Illness he had been eoffering from dur- ing hit training. The shifty tootles he displayed, are by no means pot Into force from cowardice, although at times trespass- ing very closely npon the limits of the referee's authority, who considered It his duty to give a caution once. Holden was much cut up at bis defeat, and it was not for some time that he recov- ered anything like equanimity of mind. ' Peter Morris-went round to the company on behalf of his gallant opponent and a handsomo subscription was collected as a reward for his bravery and good conduot during the encounter. He is the stamp of a pugilist who deserves every possible encouragement, and we shall be glad to ascertain that his friends and the pubUo.gethim up a bumping benefit Jock Macdonald was in Morris's comer, and by his advice and attention did muoh towards the suoceas of Master. Peter, who may thank his fortunate stars that, he had auoh a friend in court -rt.niB.

'"■'' ^ ' The: most extraordinary innings on record has at-last been played, and the Losdon.Orioket Season of 1803 wound np with a thorough'sensation matoh in all Its phases. . There are a few big innings recorded.-In Cricket journals—"to wit,"-in'1777 the' Hambledon 'Olub played England at Seven Oaks, and soored an innings of -103 runs, In whloh was an innings of 187, made by a then celebrated player named Ajlward, who—LUlywhlte.'a big book tells us—went in at five o'clock on Wednesday, and out at throe o'clock on Friday; he was a topper. Then, in 1820, the' M.O.O. played the Bllllngdon Olub at Lords, and the M.O.O. made an Innings of 421. Then, in July of the present yeaiy in the Gentlemen of Norfolk and the Gentlemen of Cambridgeshire Matoh, played at Norwioh, the Norfolk Eleven played an Innings of MX This was topped in 1881 at Cambridge, when the Long Vocation Olub, In a match, against "The Town," noi only made 450 runs in oniinninpi, but pQei vp thou ran* Vn four and a KaVJUiurt, or at Oit rale c/100 runs jw hour. Then, In 1820, the great "Ward" Match of .M.O.O. v. Norfolk was played at Lord's, wherein Mr. Ward scorod an Innings of 378 from bis own bat, and the M.O.O. 478- runs in one Innings. This was a "screamer," in all conscience, but beaten In 1810, when Mlddleaexplayed Epsom at Lord's Ground, and two of the Epsom men soored 116 and 107 respectively, and the -Epsom Innings closed tor 478 runs—the largest recorded, until all the above were "whippedout of time" by tho wonderful 1803 innings of509, made by England at the Oval on Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 35 and 26, In the match between ENGLAND AND SUBSET. On Monday tho weather was glorious: some 5,000 people at- tended tho Oval; a magnificently true wicket was got ready by George Street The toss was won by England, who, at twenty minutes past twelvo, (at this period of the year fifty minutes too late) commenoed the bitting with Grundy and Willsher, to the bowling of Oaffyn and Beweu, the umpires (rather Important in this matoh) boing John Llilywhlto and Old Sewell, It was a Sreat advantage to England (a strong team) winning the toss, as io wicket played so true that (unless the bowling was quite up to the mark) It was evident to all Judges of play that long scores, would be made. WoU, tho' Burroy bowling was not up to the mark, and long—very long—scores wore mode. Grundy and Willsher began play with, great caution, and scored so slowly that In the fat forty minutes only 30 runs were scorod, but alow and ture was tholr motto, and well they enforced It Sewell gave up the.baU to Griffith, but tho slows of old Ben were hit jo fait by the batsmen that he cried a go, and Humphrey tried. - Bt began with a brace that Grundy nor "any other man" could nit, thoy were so widei so, at twenty minutes to two, when fifty were scored, he gavo up to H. H. Stephenson; he in turn turned It over to Griffith last, while at the other wioket Oaffyn gave way to Mr. HlUor, and he to Mortlook; so If ever a lot of bowlers were "tied up in a knot" It was here. However, the defence W tho two men was flno, and their bitting ditto, At twonty min- utes to three. Mortlook missed, o and b Grundy. It was a not one to the loft hand, and would have been a topper Indeed if held, bat it wasn't and at dinner tune, three .P.

Grnndyhadbeen four hours, and ten minutes at the wiokets, first man in, second out, and the I Bcore at 185. Smart work this. Carpenter and Hayward thon Sot together, and there the^'stopped, mastered the bowling, and It brilliantly until time was! called - at half-past six, Carpenter: being then not'out 81, Hayward not out 38, and tht BngUni tone at 3144tnd only three vridatt down. This was not particularly fast run-getting, being under fifty p*r hour, but. then the fielding of Surrey had boon brilliant indeed, and quite up to their fine old fornutat their bowling was weak. TtntSDiT was" another, day of glorious woather, the attendance was enormous, and a day's oicket of greater-Interest or vaster importance to the national game, was never played on English Seen sward. Play was resumed at twenty minutes to twelve, e two not-out oracks of Cambridge at the wickets, to the bowl- ing of Humphrey and Oaffyn. The score roae to 263, when Mr. Miller went on at Humphrey's end, and was np to 280, when Griffith's slows were pnt on at Oaffyn'a end; nevertheless, the score rose, a single by Hayward, at .ten minutes to one, making. Ike teore 800, and only three wicktltiovm.- The play then became slow, the heat was great, and the fielders appeared baked, bnt at eighteen , minutes to two (after more ohanges in'the bowling) Carpenter was very finely o and b by Stephenson, and four of j England's wiokets were down for 338 runs. Carpenter's 04 was a splendid, innings, made up by one flvo (a fine forward drive from Oaflyn), six 4's (8 leg hits and 3 drives), two S's, six 2's, bo. George Anderson and Hayward mode another stand, brought on several changes, Lookyer. giving up wicket keeping to Griffith," and going on at the fast bowling business, No use, { so he tried his "lobs. ' l Bah," said a looker-on, '^theytre no use; : wretched stuff; nothing In 'em';" however, In his second over ■ '■Mr. Tom" bowled the Cambridge briDiant, and Hayward was ont for 117; another huge Innings, made up by seven 4's, five S's, eleven 3'S, fcc. Just before Hayward left, the teore -of EngUini ttood at tie wonderful and unprecedented phaie of four hundred runt maiefarttitlo&of only four wiekeU. When he left it was 402 for five wiokets. Two fine Innings of 23 and 42 were played by the Hon. O. G. Lyttelton and George AnderBon, both or-whom, from successive overs, were ont-and-out'-weU caught at the wioket. by Griffiths. Iddlson and Jaokson rattled up two good innings until Jackson was bowled by. Oaffyn; the 8th wioket (Mr, Lyttelton's) being gone with the score at 446; the 7th (Anderson's) st 451, and the 6th [Jackson's) at 407. Iddlson was then Joined by Mr. V. E. Walker, irito, at twenty minutet pad fire, by a tingle fnm.Cqffm brought the inningt up to 600—and .be may exclaim with truth, "Alone I om rr," for no other Cricketer—dead or living—ever accomplished that feat Iddlson Went directly after for 39, a finely obtained score—eo the 9th was down forSOl runs; Blddulpb, the last of this now renowned Eleven, then made a bnce of slngleet when, at half-past five .exact, Mr. 7. .E. Walker was bowled by Oaffyn, and this wonderful, unprecedented innings was over; an .innings that lotted nn^nourt ten minuter, in vhith 1,058 battt were bovHea and 603 runtTtorcd. The fielding of the Surrey Eleven (Tom Humphrey and Mr. E. Dowson In particular) was as brilliant as ever, and kept np all through with rare pluok, but their bowling was thoroughly mastered, over and over again, in this memorable Innings. A trifle extra rest for the hardworked Surrey men, then at five minutes to six their innings com- menced, and one of the most important (to Oicket) events occurred that could happen. What we saw we wul write. Mortlook and Tom Humphrey began the Surrey Innings, Will- sher bowling, and John Lyllywhlte umpiring at the Pavilion-end wicket, and Mr. V; E. Walker bowling and Old Sejaijp umpiring at the other. Willsher bowled a maiden over, andaV&Id Mr. V. E. Then Mortlook made a cat for 3 from Wlllsher's second over, and a single from' Mr. Walker's second. Then Humphrey was was well caught by Grundy at short leg, and one was down for 4 runs. Mr. F. Burbldge then joined Mortlock, and Willsharforth- wlth commenced his third over. -"Nb ball I" shouted ont John Llilywhlto, and she was well caught for a 4 by Mr. Burbldge. Willsher then bowled the second ball of (be over. "No ban I" roared John L|Uywhlte 'again, and a murmur of surprise ran round the ground. The .third pan was bowled, and "No ball I" again shouted by the umpire, and the lookers-on sprang to their feet and veMikl their feelings, pro and eon. Willsher, evidently pained, senrthe fourth ball in, and again was "No ball I" cried by John L.—and the 6,000 lookers-on In a state of great excite- ment The fifth, the sixth, and even* seventh ball was bowled by Willsher, and "No balled!" by LUrywhite, and then Wnisher threw the ball down, turned round, and quietly and slowly walk- ed off the ground. Most of the other-Englond.players after a brief consultation followed him, leaving the^two- batsmen, the two umpires, the two England gentlemen, and Blddulph at their posts,' The great multitude then rushed onto the ground—sym- pathy for Willsher and support to John.LUlywhlte found vent in load anijfl some cases; unmanly words, and' saoht-a scene of oonfnslon was witnessed at the Oval aa we hope win never be seen again on a cricket ground. .
