Dbob Olippeb-^Ab you hsTe always glTen^th aides their say, perhaps you will aBow one of your old subscribers, and a Mace man, to say a few words. Our confidence in the late Champion of the World is not In the least shaken (by his being placed tort du comiat; on the contrary, in haTO more conSdence In him than eTer, and belieTo in the oTent of another' match "he will snatch the laurels tram the brow of Hitter Elng." Johnny Gideon and Mr. Blchordson's opinion are worth mdch welabt "£80 to £6, again shrieked the Bothsohild of the ring." But neither Mc- Donald nor any of the Kinft men took It op. Mr. Blchardaon, King's ttmpln, than whom no better Judge of mlUbg eilsts, sal^Usce'conld not lose it, unless br some extra.: ordinary good lack of the enemy. It Was a splendid flaht as far as it went Jeo'e magnificent science and greosed-Ilghtnlng-two- hsnded fighting, haTe neTer been excelled. That he Is a tremen- dous bitter, no man can deny, for a man of his T^elght Ho pol- ished Sob Breltio ofl; with scarcely a soratch, in 19 minutes; and Bob's' nob was allawed by those who wen present, tobe one huge black bruise, and eTery hit as bad as Heenan's was after Tom Sayera painted it Why yon conMer him inferior 'as a punish- ing hlttm to Bayers I can't concelTO. Bam Hnrst according to the ^rOag Life, looked SI If he had.boen dragged through the shambles. The most enormous flattery was heaped upon the Btaley Bridgo Infant after he defeated Paddock; and Big Bell said he was quite sue Sam would proTe a thorn In the sides of some of the fancy. He might haye so proTed, but there Is no mistake but the accomplished Jem proved a thorn, and a prickly one to boot all OTer the Infant's huge carcase. .1 will Tenture to assert, with- out fear ottrnthfal contradiction, tUit hod Cobum, Eelly, Orlbbln, or any of the New Tork Irish boxers made snoha fight with Eing^ they would hsTe been landed up to the skies. Why the Ameri- can people were so anxlons to haTe Mace defeated, I can't oon- eelTe, unlesa it was a sort of left-buided hoist tor Heenan, to SSTO nlm the tronblOi te. It IsvTCttr generally known that Hee&anwUIflghtno more; that he will fighino more In EngUnd, Is certain; notwithstanding the sensation paragraphs of your respectable (?) contemporaries. Should Heenan offer to fight Uaoe la France or Belgium, he can be accommodated to any amonnt up to £800. I see by last week's Olifpbb that the Sjonrting life and Bdl't U/e differ by six pounds as to Jem's weight Which aro we to belioTe 7 Bell stated he weighed Ust 41b.; the Sporting Life lOet 121b., a se- rious difference. It must not be forgotten that before Uace be- came Champion, ha was able to reduce himself to lOst. 41b., and fought as light as 10 stone In his twenty-sixth year. Think of that, ye detraoton'of Uaoe, a man Champion of England who oouldflghtatl4ilbs.lt I must say, yonr paper Is mora Inclined to glTO the dsTlI his dne than any of your contemporaries. In ftot I could scaroely faelieTO my eyes, the other weeki when yon stated in theOuFisB that justice was dealtout bi rich and poor alike, mon equally in England than in the States ; that if a man had money hare he generally got oil; &o. We Britona haTe been held Up by some of the American Journals so long ss obleets of ntfer abhorrence, that we are becoming used to It .Tour neighbor of Antl-McClelr Ian notoriety, says the only thing that will ssto the Union Is im- mediate war with England. How the deuce can any internation- al matdi bt brouight off. when the editors of sporting paper* write Buoh trash T Ijnah left New Tork ond fought manylM^ ties In England, and flnaUy mode it his home.

Jack was a na- tive of LlTerpO'oI, Eng.. and emigrated to this country about-'Iha Sear'1846. The first notice I had of him was at Boston. Maas., 1 '48, -vhero he proTSd hlmaelf a ekllfol boxer at a sparrhig benoflt, glTeu at Bland's Old Coui-etreet Adelphi Theatn, to Jim Stewart, the «oi-(Usan4"QlasgowObamploo," at present resi- ding In Benlola, Cal. The renowned Belcher Eay, of Boston, ap- peared on this oocaslon,' and sparred with Jaok Bany, a pet pu* glllst of. the Irish population of South Boiton. Henry Floyd, a aparter of some colebrity, hailing Irom tho Dry Dock, New Tork city, donned the mils wltti J. B. Booth, Jr., the actor, who was knexcellent boxer at that period, and "biffed" Floyd around the stage until he made the b6ys UTftont qllt their Jaws with "lof- t^." They era both oltlzeni o< the Golden State.' Olark ap- peared in the Trind-up with Stewart astonishing tho quid nuna with the rapidity of his hitting. By trade, Clark was a steam bpOtrmaker, and was principally employed In tho.Uorgan Iron Worn and tne NoTelty Tnrd when in New Tork. Ope day. aietf years subsequent to Stewart's albir in Boston, Clark, with seTO- rol other wotkmeui was sent aboard Of a steamship docked at the foot 6t Eighth ikraet, to perform some repairs upon a damaged paddle wheel. As a oonTonlent means of aoces; to the Interior of the wheel box, wherein the work was done, a narrow plank was etietched trom the otring-pleea of the wharf to on arm of the whtfel, tlie plank running under t)ie gnard, On thie plank the workmen, going on andotr, crawled on all fours, to save a Jour- ney, to the shin 8 deok, from which they would haTe to take the gangway. Jack considered the pUnk arrangement tho result of a laay man's labor, and vowed "thatlie might be cursed if he'd onwl on the d—n tiling I" Betnrning to nu work, at the dinner hour, one dayi Clark for tho first time cnwled the ptant, as he was Inahurry, andjustashoraaohed the spot beneath the ship's gnud; the wheel KTolred, bringing the pUnk upwards, and orushing the poor fellow almost to death. When exUoated, he was hisenellble, but upon his roTlTal no bones wore dlsoorered broken, He was "as good as.new" at the end of three days, and upon being asked how he felt he trailed—"Like a fiddle; 1X4 dtMMm^emm'lkillmel" The/next day.ho took passage to Boston, via Ml Blvor, and died on board the atoamer fWm ihe effects of the eruahing en the plonk. - Should the foregoing, suit the oorso of the OUFPKB. count me In (or another "IIR." . ■ Toms tr^, JoHUNi Dvos8.e ,P.

Shortly aftte .the brilliant mOitarr aehloTements of the noble General George B. Mcdsllan in iTestero Virginia, a party of young sports residing inths upper part of the ot^ nsolTcd them- •etVes into a body, fw the purpose of ornanlcing a club in honor, of the'hera's name, to be known as the "George B. UcOlellan Boelal and Sporting Club," whtoh is now In a flourishing condi- tion. This organlzallf n is composed, of as fine a looking body of young men as then is to be found together in this d^, many of whom belong to, and praotlce 'ln, tne Tarlons gymnsslums In this olty and In Brooklyn. They oooupy a large room, which is ;repIeto ivlth cTery anlcle necessary to tkeh: amusement and comfort doting tholrlelsun hours. Dumb-bells, Indian olubs, boxing-gloves, and other appendages of thegymiikslnm; an at their disposal, wheneTer they take the nbtlon of nelng them, and their meetings are characterized by a hUarity and henlthfnlness really commendable. They get up Impromptu, little gamm, which are alwaya performed with a dexterity and agUlty which would do .ore{dit-to far more pretenUpus athletes.. Football is a faToritebame'with them, the majoril? being quite proficient in that healthiest of all exenlsea. ' On Friday, December llth, we were 'present at one of their private obntests, and a flmer treat in that sort of sport we have seldom enjoyed. Taking odTantage of the lovely weathor which then pnTalled, they seleoied Wost Hoboken' es the scene of their explolte. A finer day conld not be dealred,and although the field was rather soft their splrils'wen so bnoyaht that they flew OTerithe ground like deora. At one o'clock P.M., they wen stripped and ready for the trial; eight stout strapping fellows being appointed on each side. Alter tossing for Itho'Tantage ground, the ball was sent wlilzting In the air as "high as a Ute," and then the sport commenced m earnest Bach shln-dlgglpg, running, coBar-and-elbowlng, and e^ert ondloftyldoklng, nOTsr was seen In the "Jarales." A Judge and referee were duly ap- pointed, who occupied the groater part of the.tlme In dhipenslng choice lager and other Inrigorating cordials beneficial to the In- ner man. The grahd stmgale progressed In the moetrigorons manner, each contestant benaring In the most admirable and expert style. It was surely a Unghable slgh^ to witness the mOec that ensued when the sixteen etordv fellows 9ame together in a bnuoh. Ton con bet yonr booto then.were some loud ex- clamations uttered, while stentorian howls o;( "Ohl.-myshln,'" and other loud expressions, rang throngh the snmtmdlng woods. Then the circle was broken, and one of the fleetest of ihe.orowd took the, ball with a tnmendona kick, and followed it OTer the field in his own direction, hotly pureued by one Of his opponents. Just as the first is about gaining the run, his pur- suer OTertakee him: A trip, a hoist and a oorpus.ls seen flying heels OTer head, and measures his length on the ground. Then the ball Is recaptured beforo the fallen hero can recoTer his "poor feet," andthe nsual straggle ensues between the combined forces. Thus the gallant humorous, and manly display contln- ned from one till half-past four, when the youthful athletes wen prettywellusedup,andtheconteatwasdoclared<'ad>aw;" tlv Slay was ordered to b4 renewed another day, and the "George B.
