Under the patronage we have already spoken of, Broughton seceded from the Tottenham Court Road establishment, rapidly completing a new building adjoining the Oxford Road, near the spot where Hanway Street, Oxford Street, now stands, and opened it on March 10th, 1743, with the subjoined advertisement in the _Daily Advertiser_. From prints yet existing in the British Museum, it appears that this edifice was somewhat similar to Astley’s original circus and riding school, in the Westminster Road, or rather the large temporary and removable theatres, which have of late travelled with equestrian exhibitions round our principal provincial towns. There were boxes, pit, and a gallery; a stage for the combatants in the centre of the ring, and the _tout ensemble_ bore some resemblance to the pictures of the Old Fives Court, in Windmill Street. The following is a copy of the announcement:— AT BROUGHTON’S NEW AMPHITHEATRE, OXFORD-STREET, _The back of the late Mr._ FIG’S, On Tuesday next, the 13th instant, Will be exhibited THE TRUE ART OF BOXING, By the _eight famed_ following men, _viz._, ABRAHAM EVANS, | —— ROGER, —— SWEEP, | —— ALLEN, —— BELAS, | ROBERT SPIKES, and —— GLOVER, | HARRY GRAY, the Clogmaker. The above eight men to be brought on the stage, and to be matched according to the approbation of the gentlemen who shall be pleased to honour them with their company. N.B.—There will be a BATTLE ROYAL between the NOTED BUCKHORSE, And SEVEN or EIGHT more; after which there will be several BYE-BATTLES by others. Gentlemen are therefore desired to come by times. The doors will be open at nine; the champions mount at eleven: and no person is to pay more than A SHILLING. The appearance of this rival was a cruel blow to George Taylor, who saw the ruinous results which must ensue to his “booth” from Broughton’s popularity: he, therefore, as a counter hit, instantly let fly in the following terms:— TO THE PATRONS AND ENCOURAGERS OF THE MANLY ART OF BOXING.
