and half-past four o'clock this morning. The fare
was three guineas. Their departure was managed
very quietly. Heenan's American friends mustered
300 strong:. Sayers received the first knock-down
blow. This was repeated by Heenan 20 times-
the blows of Sayers after the twentieth round
began, however, to show very visibly on Heenan.
From the twentieth to the thirtieth round, the
hitting on both sides was very severe. The police
twice attempted to stop the fight. During their
second effort the referee left the ring; the me*
foeght a round or two more. Although he was
nearly blind in. the thirtieth round, Heenan mete
up to the scratch ; but the Sun newspaper says
that Sayers had then, owing to the absence of the
referee, quitted the ring. The fight was claimed
by Heenan, amidst loud cheering and confusion,
but the friends of Sayers refused to accede to such
a decision. Heenan is severely punished, but
Sayers has not suffered to anything like the mine
extent. The .5.3)2, says it was evident throughout
the fight that Heenan's blows did not tell like
those. of Sayers. The opinion is general that
everything was straightforward and fair.

this time 2tol on Sayers, rose to even. In the
32nd round it was evident that daylight was be'
coming almost of no avail to Heenan, as both his
eyes were nearly closed, and his face altogether
presented a fearful appearance. In the thirtt
third round, it was plain that Sayer's right argil
was not of much avail to him, Prom the repeated
stopping of blows from Heenan, and also becaree
much swollen from the repeated use he -lied
made of it. In the forty-second gt,nd het
