Sporting News.
The lovers of manly British sports will be glad to know that there is a chance of seeing another good fight, or so, before the law is altered. A rattling mill is to come off in the north of the West Riding. Powell, the well-known Cambridge Slogger, is matched against Holden, of the above parts, who has not fought in public, but is known in the Chapel districts as a determined cove. As this will be nearly the last of the real old English fights, much interest is excited. The white chokers are with Powell, and Holden is backed by the humbler humboxes. Both men will do all they know, and a clinking good contest may be expected.

Uncle. "Good Gracious, Boy! Are you not Ill?"
Tommy. "No, Uncle; but I'm Thirsty."
