    3. The House-warming dinner of the gallant Ex-Champion Spring (Winter), who on his retirement from the ring purchased the Boothall Inn, in Hereford, took place on the 16th inst. and was attended by nearly 70 of his friends, including several gentlemen of the first respectability. Spring’s health was drank with three times three. Spring, in returning thanks, declared it to be the happiest moment of his life in which he saw so many friends come from far and near to support him in his new vocation, and amongst the rest his old father of the prize ring Tom CRIBB. Tom CRIBB’s health was then drank with great applause; the old Champion returned thanks for the honour done him, and said it made his heart leap for joy to see his son so nobly supported. The health of “BROWN, and may success attend him if he enter the ring again,” was next given; BROWN, in returning thanks, stated that he had no particular wish to fight, but if WARD, or any other man in England who called himself champion, should lack a customer, he should be found ready to meet him for £500 or £1000. the evening was sent with the most utmost conviviality.
