Round 2S.—Two to one freely offered on the Benicia
Boy; but no takers. Sayers did not look so entirely
feeble as some few rounds before, but he was evidently
much distressed ; and unless some lucky accident could
retrieve his fortune, defeat stared him surely in the face.

but caught it with great severity again, and once <more

planted a ,harp cut oni Heenan's mouth, and followed it
by-a light touch on the left cheek,,in which direction ho
evidently still hoped to have the happiness to clod up the
only remaining eye. When &man would have come
back for his satisfaction, he avoided cleverly by getting
down and letting the three shot of Heenan pass hurtless
over his head.

Roend 32.—Heenan showed distress while et his
second's corner, and when he confronted Sayers hs riid
not show that alacrity of battle he had exhibited, before.
He led off, however. but Sayers got away, and subse-
quently a few passes were exchanged with no effect;
and, as the blond was flowing from Heenan'sserions
cut all the while, he paused in his hostilities to 1)e tem-
porarily sponged off. While this was going on, :Sayers,
who,' though most seriously hurt, was by far the least
disfigured, folded his arms and stood tranquilly behiie
Heenan, and surveyed him with the most amazing con-
fidence, and as if he were his captive. 'When they
came together again, Sayers was the first up with a
light tap, and they then separated once mare for a wipe,
off, neither being in a humour to press too rapidly on
the other. They came together again with light
exchanges, another separation took place, and the round
ended by Heenan measuring his adversary handtsomely,
and hitting him down by a tremendous blow ,on the
naze. "That's a pretty fellow fur a ChamPion 'Of
England !" said Macdonald; pointing disdainfully at
Sayers, while nursing his man.
ROUND 33.—Sayers was this time very slow to rise
from his second's knee. The
.game little fellow had
already made the most superhuman exertions, 'but he
found he was over-metaled,. and it was ,like fighting
against fate to hope to overcome his game-lastlng and
powerful adversary. Though he showed no .evidence of
sinking of the heart, his want of prospect had a plain
effect upon his spirits, and Heenan had to go after. hini
almost to his second's knee. It was plain that the fight
was'nearly out of him, and his friends saw clearly that
his chance was gone.
.While' therefore, the two men
commenced to square away, they thought to make a
diversion in favour of the champion by an outcry of
" Police police!" in the hope . that Heenan, as a
stranger, might be struck with alarm, and either be
induced in natural panic 'to jump over the ropes, and
thus forfeit the fightor to turn his head so that the
watchful champion might get on his left eye. But
the artifice did not take. Heenan had been forewarned
of the intended dodge, mid* had- seen, moreov'er, that
several policemen had been quietly looking at the'battle-
ever since the seVenth round. He, therefore, only
fought on the fiercer, and Sayers being on the lookout
for chances at the same moment, they had a passage of
real ding dong, give and take, fighting; in the ancient
style. The blood flowed freely from them both, and
two or three times they Stepped aside to sponge, but
neither paid any more attention to the swaying crowd,
and the pretinded effort to keep back the police, than
if no effort of that sort had'been made. Heenan got
sharply on the nose of Sayers, and the latter in return
caught Heenan sharply in the mouth, drawing 4 further
quantity of blood. Sayers seemed to be encouraged
and, to freshen up at this, and went after Heenan, but
the Boy caught him and floored him with another
square knock-down blow. (100 to 20 on Heenan !)
Round 34.—Sayers now came up very weak,' and his
artisans seeing his chance was almost hopeless, kept up
