In Isling-j ton road, this present Monday, being the 7th of October, will be a complete boxing match by the two following: cham-pionesses: Whereas I, Ann Field, ofSroke Newington, ass driver, well known for my abilities in boxing in my own defense wherever It happened in my way, having been affronted by Mrs. Stokes, styled the European champloness, do fairly invite her to a trial of her best skill in boxing for £10, fair rise and fall; and question not but to give her such proofs of my Judgment that shall oblige her toacknowledge me championess of thestage, to the entire satisfaction of all my friends.I, Elizabeth Stokes, of the city of London, have not fought in this way since I fought the famous boxing woman of Billingsgate twenty-nine minutes, and gained a complete victory (which is slifc years ago); but as the famous Stoke Newington ass-woman dares me to fight her for the £10, I do assure her I will not fail meeting her for the said sum, and doubt not that the blows which I shall present her with will be more difficult for her to digest than any she ever gave her asses.Note—A man known by the name of Rugged and Tuff challenges the best man of Stoke Newington to fight him if- 1 guinea to what sum they please to venture. * ' *N. B.—Attendance will be given at 1, and the encounter is to begin at 4 pre* cisely. There will be the diversion of cudgel playing, as usual.
