piece of plate, as a token of respect and regard for the liberal, constant, and indefatigable manner in which you have conducted the hounds. Long may you live to have this testimony of our regard in your possession; and, as it descends to your latest posterity, may it, through all ages, be a memorial of the sincere and heartfelt friendship entertained for you by the present members of the Hunt! Long may you live to enjoy their esteem, and to hunt this country as you have hitherto done !"

At the close of this address Mr. Browne proposed "the health of Colonel Berkeley," which was received with the most exhilarating applause.-Colonel Berkeleyacknowledged the kindness of his friends in a very animated speech; in the course of which the gallant Colonel said,

"In ranking fox-hunting high among our pleasures, I think I shall be borne out by the concurrent opinion of many of the most brilliant and highly-educated members of society; and I will take it on myself to pronounce it to be an amusement wholly without alloy. I have followed it for nearly twenty years; and with truth I can aver, that it has ever cheered my cheeriest hours, and invariably solaced some of my saddest moments. It has been the bond of union, the source of lasting friendship; and while it enlivens the present day, it brings in its train all the most agreeable recollections of auld lang syne.' I can assure you, that when the grim nuntsman who never misses his game- though in some instances, like huntsmen of this world, he makes short bursts of it, and in others long-hunting runs when he shall have run me to my last earth, I shall derive consolation in leaving behind me this mark of your friendship and esteem; and while memory exists, during this chase of life, it is a token which will be cherished by me with an affectionate and grateful feeling, which you, the donors, can well imagine, but which I have no power to describe. That Providence may bless you with happiness and prosperity, is the sincere wish of your old friend and companion, who now most heartily drinks to all your healths."

"The health of the President, John Browne, Esq."- "The Marquis of Worcester". "The Duke of BeauJohn Bushe, Esq. and the Cheltenham Harriers,' were among the toasts which followed, and a happier [evening was never spent.

was consequently made there: but the Magistrates having determined to prevent the exhibition in their district, the ring was formed at Monmouth Gap, and a better was never witnessed. The concourse of people was immense. About one o'clock the men entered the ring, both feeling confident of suceess-Robinson attended by Spring (the late Champion) and Harry Holt; while Gas was waited upon by Ben Burns and Dick Curtis. Both were comparatively novices; the former having only once appeared in the Prize Ring, when he fought and beat Crosbie, in Scotland; and Gas having distinguished himself in his fight with Tom Gaynor at Epsom Races. Robinson, in length and weight, appeared to have a point in his favour; while the friends of Gas considered his hardihood and game as fully equivalent to this fancied superiority, and backed him freely at 6 to 4. After stripping, and shaking hands, they lost no time in commencing business. Twenty-five rounds were fought in thirty-five minutes, of which the following is an abstract :

In the first round Gas went up manfully to his antagonist, who proved that he was no flincher, but met him in the most courageous manner, and some good right and left hits were exchanged, when Gas was thrown. In the second round the manœuvres were pretty much of the same character, Robinson falling accidently on his hands; but in the third Gas received such a tremendous hit from Robinson's right hand over the left eye, as for a time nearly deprived him of his senses-he went staggering down, but was soon rallied by his seconds. On coming up in the fourth round, Gas shewed evident symptoms of the disordered state of his upper works; but still he evinced thorough game, and rattled away as if intent alone on delivering without regard to the consequences. Robin

son, seeing his advantage, peppered him right and left in admirable style; and in this way the fight continued till nearly the last round-Robinson having a manifest advantage, and the friends of Gas candidly confessing the " game was up." Dick Curtis, however, cheered up his man, reminding him that all London would be in darkness if the Gas was extinguished. Gas felt the appeal to his honour, and though dreadfully jobbed

continued to weave with all the vigour of an expert manufacturer; but still the odds increased against him; and the fine scientific style of Robinson, combined with the powerful effects of his well-directed and straightforward deliveries, rendered him the favorite at any odds. In despite of all these unfavorable symptoms, however, Gas still came up with unshaken courage-he was weakened, but not subdued; and while a chance remained he was evidently determined to continue the contest. At length, after a dreadful rally—which ended in the fall of both-Robinson, upon being lifted on his second's knee, dropped his head, and was "deaf to time."

This unexpected result excited surprize; but from subsequent explanation it was understood, that about the middle of the fight Gas fell heavily on Robinson's body, and shook him so severely that he was

not

"himself again," and became gradually exhausted, till, in the end, he lost all power of motion. Had he been able to give one or two hits in the right place with his wonted force, such was the state to which Gas had been reduced, that it would have been impossible for him to come again. This was all felt by Gas's friends, and they all acknowledged that a fight had never been got more completely out of the fire."-Gas, before he left Hereford, received 251. of the 501. which had been promised.
