Smithfield, Moorfields, St. George’s Fields, Southwark, and Hyde Park,[14] during this period also had “booths” and “rings” for the display of boxing and stick play. In Hogarth’s celebrated picture of “Southwark Fair” our hero prominently figures, in a caricatured exaggeration, challenging any of the crowd to enter the lists with him for “money, love, or a bellyful.” This picture we have also chosen as an interesting illustration of the great English painter,—a record of manners in a rude period. As one of the bills relating to this fair (which was suppressed in 1763) is extant, we subjoin it: AT FIG’S GREAT TIL’D BOOTH, _On the_ Bowling Green, Southwark, During the Time of the _FAIR_, (Which begins on SATURDAY, the 18th of SEPTEMBER), The TOWN will be entertained with the MANLY ARTS OF Foil-play, Back-sword, Cudgelling, and Boxing, in which The noted PARKS, from Coventry, and the celebrated gentleman prize-fighter, Mr. MILLAR, will display their skill in a tilting-bout, showing the advantages of _Time_ and _Measure_: ALSO Mr. JOHNSON, the great Swordsman, superior to any man in the world for his unrivalled display of the _hanging-guard_, in a grand attack of SELF-DEFENCE, against the all-powerful arm of the renowned SUTTON. DELFORCE, the finished Cudgeller, will likewise exhibit his uncommon feats with the _single-stick_; and who challenges any man in the kingdom to enter the lists with him for a _broken-head_ or a _belly-full_! BUCKHORSE, and several other _Pugilists_, will show the Art of Boxing. To conclude With a GRAND PARADE by the Valiant FIG, who will exhibit his knowledge in various Combats—with the Foil, Back-sword, Cudgel, and Fist. To begin each Day at Twelve o’clock, and close at Ten. _Vivat Rex._ N.B. The Booth is fitted up in a most commodious manner, for the better reception of Gentlemen, &c. &c.
