SECOND FIGHT, between JEM STOCKMAN AND DYER,  A WOOLWICH YOUTH

_ A purse of thirty-four shillings having been collected, the above two young men entered the ring to contend for it. The former is well known as the brother of the "Lively Kid;" and the latter is a spirited lad, a favorite in the milling circles of Woolwich. He came forward under the auspices of Billy Sharp and Woolwich Burke, and Stockman was seconded by M'Carthy and Tom Wolley. On stripping, the advantage of height and length were obviously with Stockman, and he was a strong favorite with the Londoners. Dyer, however, was a smart active youth, and appeared to possess a proper degree of courageous confidence. _ From the outset, it was clear that Stockman's experience and scientific style of fighting would carry him through; nevertheless, Dyer gave him his work to do, and prolonged the contest for sixteen rounds, when he gave in. In the second round, Stockman gave him a severe cut over the left eye, and during the remainder of the fight, jobbed him in good style. _ Thus ended the sports of the day, when the motley assemblage dispersed in good order, and returned to the "village" perfectly content with the days amusement.
