At that period, Jackson was an entire stranger to the sportuig world: and if we are not mldnformea, it was owing to Colonel Harvey Aston, (one of tbe most steady and firm patrons of pngUlam,) that be was todnced to t^ his skill to a public pngillstio encounter: and from that totrodao- tlon was occordtogly matched to fight the above boxer.

' . .1 Jaokson defeated Fewterel, on June Q, 1786, at fimltham- bottom, near Croydon, Surrey, In a few mtoutes over an hear. Uendoza snrrendered hto laureto to Jaokson, at Hon- oborcb, to Essex, to ten mtoutes and a half, on April 16, 1795, .,. Jackson also fought with George the. Brewer, atlngate- stone, in Eaex, onllarch 12,17S8, but breaktog the small bone of hto leg, the contact was not decided. In reilnqulsiung bto pretensions to FngUIsm, and to glytog up all tbe nonon attending on oroquest, it to. but common instlce to observe, tbat Jackson had praotlcally realized the character' of a gentleman; equally reepeotw 1^ the rich and poor—and ever ready to perform a good action: - were It necessary, nnmeroua Instances might be Sioted to vnify the excellence of his heart and the seur blllty of hlsduposltton; to htoi the Pogiltoto experienced a steady and warm flrlend. It has been observed of hhn to reference to other men, that few pngiltoto have appeared but what have been dla- tlogutohed for some peouUur trait of eioellenoe apper- teJntog to the art er seif^efenoe-some for snmrlor strength—othen for totultlve science—and many for ex- traordbary bottom; bat Jackson had the whole of them united to one person. Ur, Jaokson died on the 7th of October, 1846, aged 77, may be oontatoed to a medium-sized chest, and all above that to wasted, and to extra weight Many of our best- winded horses have bad medium-sized chests, and some of the very worst have been f omldied with room enough for a pair of bkokamlth's bellows to play Ip. If the heart only does Its dnty well, the lungs can always (bmldi snfflolent air: and we know that when f^uentlv renewed, and with snfllolent power, the blood Is aerated as fast as It to propelled, and the chief dUDcnlty lies In thto nower of propualon wbloh reeldes In the heart alone. If the chest bo too wide It materially alTeote the action of the fore-legs, and therefore In every potot of view, theoreti- cally and praotlcally, there to ahappy medlmn between the too great contraction to thto department, and the heavy, wid% lumbertog cheste sometimes seen even to the thorough-bred race-horse, especially when reared npon rich Buooulent herbage, more fitted for the bullock than the eastern horse. In the formation of the Hips, the essontlal potot is length and breadth of bone for muscu- lar attaonment, and It mattere little whether the croup droops a Lttle, or to pretty straight and level, so that there to a good lenglb ibom the hip to the hannch-bbnej the Une between which two points may either be nearly horlzbntal, or Ibrmtog a considerable angle with the ground; but still In both cases it should be along line, and the longer It to the more muscular substance Is attaohed to It, and the gnater leverage will the muscles have.
