cheers for King.) Seeroely had the sounds subsided when
King, following up his advantage with terrible meaning in
it, launched a feller on Heenea atemple, memematered,
and tried to follow it up, but fell short in his delivery, his
right being out of distance ; Heenan, in despair, bagged
again, and threw his antagonist. (Trommdme theering..

these great heavy men lunged at one another as if net only

fearfully that the man mod ham left hie own impress
upon the earth. People eetwally held their breath for •
moment. and felt relieved when the ma were carried to
their earners. During MO round King gave Heenan a
rattling 'ledger on the nose with his right, and brought the
blood down in a stream. (Cheers arid counter-oheere.)
6. On "lime" being called, both were upend actively at
work. No reconnoitring, or backing, or ducking to get
away. Toe the mark was now the word ; some rapid coun-
tering took place. Hamm west in, when the hugging
mechanism wan brought into action, but this time failed
woefully, for King turned the tebles, and floored his an-
tsponist. (Immense cheering for Tom, and cries of "He'll
win yet.")
9. Both sharp to time. King let out his right, and struck
Heenan tremendously about the head. Heenan closed and
threw King again.
10. Express speed had now began in earnest, King ladling
out heavily with both fists, cluing, and, after a struggle,
was thrown.

E. gismo began to show the pace was telling on him.
Cocain up, he caught and threw King very heavily. It
sounded like oxen falling outfit • cart
12. Not more than • minute. Heavy exchanges about
the head, and at the close King threw Heenan heavily.
(Loud cheering for King.)
13. Some heavy countering about the head on both sides,
when Ream closed, throwing King as before.
14. Heiman snot Kier at the very outset with • fearful
punch from the latter's right hand ; some sharp hitting, and
another heavy fall for King. Notwithstanding all this
throwing advantage, Heenan seemed toshow nearly as much
distresses Mag.
15. It was now plainly seen that the rate of going was
telling powerfully on both men. Heenan showed unmistake-
able symptoms of uncommon rapid " travelling," and the
balance, notwithstanding all his wrestling good luck, wee
beginning to draw against him. In this resod both men
west as if at pariah hollers:4os. After some keg swinging
reps on each aide, Heenan shot out his eight hand with such
terrific effect that King actually staggered and reeled like a
drunken man from the force of the blow, ultimately falling
into one of the seats ia his corner. It was thought
that he had turned tail, sad woodd not face the storm again.
This was the first genuine knock down blow, and it car.
Unity sounded and looked like something strong enough
to shake the foundations of any structure in the shape of
humanity.
16. In this round Heenan began to show that fortune
was gliding fast from him. He came up with a dreadful
eye after the last round, whilst the blood flowed copiously
from all over his face. King went in upon some more
country practice au nature!, when Heenan sent him down
after a severe struggle.
17. In this round the excitement became so tremen-
dous that all regulation about inner ring, or any ring,
was swept to the winds. Men rushed madly about.
sod yelled with the frantic energy of despair.. King's
huge Cyclopean blows about Heenan 's head—especially
the temples—so swelled up the parts that be began to
look in • sad plight His eye was in a frightful state, as
King had made several sudden successful shoulder hits with
his right upon it. The latter stood well behind his fists, and
he certainly did not let them live the life of idleness. He
became so exasperated at the awful hugging. to which he
had been welcomed and treated, that it could be seen that
he went in to batter the enemy to pieces. Aa he faced his
man, he seemed by his firm, oompreseed lips, to say to him-
self, " King and courage "must be ray motto after this day.
He too looked so far gone that it seemed extremely doubtful
whether he would be able to " toe" again to the call of
the referee. But he revived wonderfully, and so
raised the expectations of his friends that the
people swayed to and fro in • dreadful state of
exitement. From this to the 24th and last round one was
so much like the other, and so short, that it would be utterly
impossible to detail them. King went a-bsed in a perfect
g and on time being called for the 25th round the
sponge was thrown up by Heenan 's seconds in token of his
defeat. He was dreadfully punished, and should never
have been permitted to have passed be7ood the 21st round.
The cheers that made the " welkin ring " were such as
cannot possibly be imagined. King presented no visible
marks of punishment except the " mouse on his eye."
Thus ended this great contest, in 24 rounds, occupying 35
minutes, and • braver one was fought.
Heenan was decoeded by Tom Sayers and Johnny Mac-
donald, and King by Hos Tyler and Jerry Noon. The bet-
ting was 7 to 4 on the American.

At the Southwark police-coort, George Barker,

Crowding and fighting were taking place in every direction,
and screams for help were beard everywhere. Witness was
proceeding up toward, the statism when he saw an elderly
gentleman peas him, and at that time the prisoner rushed

sir." While pretending to do so warmer saw him
snatch the gentleman's watch and hand it to another man,
who made his escape. While witness was securing the pri-
soner another of the ruffians snatched the gentlemen's gold
spectacle, from his face, and got away with them. He (the

dragged him out of the mob, but several men surrounded
