11.—Jack again took the lead: he planted two dreadful hits right and left on Dick’s nob that seemed nearly to stupefy him; but Dick, game-cock like, went in with the most determined confidence, changed the scene, and the butcher rolled down from a hit.
12.—After an exchange of hits, Dick sent his opponent down.
13.—Dick slipped down on one knee, but recovered himself, and ultimately got his adversary down.
14 and 15.—Jack was down in both these rounds, but not before Dick had received much mischief.
16.—Dick again slipped; but recovering himself to meet his antagonist, received a desperate blow near the mark that floored him. This was bad judgment on the part of Dick.
17.—This was a singular round: both went down from counter hits.
18 to 20.—One of Dick’s peepers was nearly closed, and although he had not lost a single drop of claret, he had received an unusual degree of punishment. These rounds were rather in favour of Dick.
21.—This was a grand round on the part of the little one. He planted three facers with his right hand without return; but Jack at length got into work, and fought gaily till he went down.
22 and 23.—Jack down in both these rounds; in the latter he received so severe a facer that he crimsoned all over in a twinkling.
24.—The butcher again administered some heavy punishment. In closing, both down, when Jack laughed at his antagonist.
