THE RING
The Era (London, England),
Sunday, November 2, 1845; Issue 371
CANINE
On Monday last the renowned lurcher dog, Tommy, had a contest
with the celebrated Bow Lee dog, Spring (22lb), for 10 sovs a-side
The betting was 6 to 4 and 2 to 1 on the lurcher, with few takers. It was
soon seen that Spring had not a shadow of a chance, except as a cour-
ageous dog to receive, and after contending for one hour and ten
minutes, the lurcher was declared the winner, without any perceptible
punishment. The lurcher was excellently well trained, and handled
in first-rate style by Young Simons, of the Gipsy King, and Spring
by Jud, of Bow Lee. It was fought near Manchester.
