A match has been made for fifty guineas, between Jring, Mr. BradyVs chairman, and Reynolds, of Bristol. This last is of such weight, as to have offered to fight Mendoza with one hand.Humphreys is now in training in the country— preparatory to his fight—-and Mendoza has ceased sparring at his school in the city.Humphreys has also of late set up a school in the West end of the town. It has hitherto been frequented by the Westminster boys. Th# approaching fight will determine which is to be the new school. Mendoza, consistently with his charafter as a Jew, has his near the Bank.Though the bets are six to four on Humphreys, it is not yet a settled point who is to win. Since Mendoza fought Martin, he is not only increased in bulk and strength, but improved in fighting. His scholars speak highly of a new blow he has adopted from Broughton.Ryan complains of foul play in the late boxing match. There certainly was a strong partiality shewn in favour of Johnson. When the match was made by his friends, Ryan was in Greenland. He was persuaded that he was a better man than Johnson, in consequence of which he betted ten guineas, which was all he had. He has been very hardly used, and is willing to fight Johnson again, provided there is fair play on both sides.
