after him, but was well stopped, thrice in succession. Aftl'in
and again Tom went to hint, and baulked his eft." ts to effect
a lodgment, and then Heenan napped another slashing crack
on the right cheek, whiehfiad the effect of at once closing
his dexter goggle. He retreated fur a wipe, and was followed
by Turn, and some mutual cautious dodging and feinting
took place. At last Heenan gut on the top of Tom's
canell.r, but not heavily, and Turn then avoided another
ettempt. Once more did Heenan retire to Jack Macdonald
for consolation and advice; Tom walking round and eyeing
him in au inquisitive manner as if adminog his handiwork.
Tom, after satisfying his curiosity, went close, and slight
exchanges followed, without mischief. Heenan tried his
left and was stopped. Both very cautious, and neither dia.
posed to go within gunshot. Heenan now led off and got
slightly on the mouth with his left, Tom retaliating on the
closed peeper. Mutual taps and stops, and then Torn got his
left heavily au the old spot another mocker, whereupon Jack
once more retired into the privacy of his corner, amidst cries
of 2 to 1 on Sayers. Tom, after a few turns and a touch
of the sponge, went to him, bet Heenan shook his nob
and mewed disinclined for work. Tom fading he could
not draw him, retreated, whereupon the Boy came out, and
let go his left viciously, which was beautifull stopped. He
then feinted, and got well on the bridge of Tunis snorer as
he was retreating, and again knocked him off his pins.
Tom rolled over, laughing, and was carried to his corner.
This round lasted 11 minutest, and was a fine specimen of
Wahiawa and skulk especially on the part of Toni. His
right arm new seal much awralen, and so painful that he
could make little or no use of it.

heavily with his left, once more staggering him. Twice
after Chis did Tom stop Heenan's right, and they closed.
After rime sbght fibbing Tom fell, Heenan hitting him
when down. An appeal of foul was overruled, the blow
being obviously sock-lents'.
27. The Boy came up determined, and led off, but Tom
was away. A second attempt was equally unsuccessful,
and as Tom turned his back to dash away, the Boy caught
him on the neck, but not heavily. Sharp exchanges fol-
lowed, Tom on the left cheek and nese, and the Boy on the
mouth. Heenan then went in awl tried his left, but was
short, whereupon he retired to his corner, had a wipe and
wetted his whistle, and then went to the middle of the ring.
TOFU joined issue at once, and some slogging exchanges

Tom kept out of harm's way, but at length the Boy bored•.
him down at the ropes.

down. . . .

29. Tom still slow to time. The Boy at once went to
him, and got heavily on the top of his nut. Tom countered
with effect with his right on the left cheek, and then

Tom slipped down.
36. Hemsan's other eye wee now quickly closing, and ha
.bed evidently no time to lose. He wee strongest on hie
legs, but hie punishment was far more visible than Tom's.
He tried to lead off, but Tom met hint neatly on the now,
turning on the red port. The Boy rushed at Toni, and
literally ran over and fell on him.
31. After stoodiog some time in his corner Heenan was
fetched out by Tom, who had now recovered a little. A
abort VOX was followed by another retreat, after which
Tom went in and got a little-un on the left cheek, but it
lacked steam. More sparring, and Heenan again retired.
Torn stood and examined him with the eye of a connoisseur
until he came out, when good exchange. took place, Tom
getting heavily on the mouth and Heenan on the nose. A
break away—more sparring for wind- Heenan again to his
corner. On Tom going at him he slung out his left heavily
on the DONN and prone once more fell the brave Champion.
32. Tom all afive, dodged, and caught the Boy on the
chin. He turned to retreat, and tire Boy nailed him on the
body, but not heavily. Heenan then tried repeatedly to
draw Ton, but the latter would not go into Heenan's
corner. The Boy, therefore, had to go out, and some rapid
bite and storm followed, without any apparent damage;
each, however, got a smell tap on the mouth. Heenan
having taken another rest in his corner, came out and got
• hot one on the left cheek for his pains, which all but shut
up the other eye. This brought on exchanger, each on the
mansard, and then Heenan reached Tom's nose. Heavy,
determined, counter-deliveries on the nose ensued, after
which Heenan floored Tom by a right-hander on the cheek.
The betting was now even, Sayers for choice. It was
obvious that, strong as Heenan wee, unless he could make
a decided change, ho must in a very few minutes be blind.
3.1. The Benicia Boy, feeling he had no time to lose,
rushed in, but only just reached Tom's chest. Both seemed
fagged, and they stood a few second.,, and then went to
close quarters, where Tom, as usual, was busy ou the Boy's
mug, until he let him slip through his arms on to the
ground.
34. The Boy again tried to force the fighting, but Torn
got away. They then stood and sparred until Heenan let
4 his left, which did not reach its destination. He retired
for counsel, and then came at Tom and tried his right at
the body, but without success. Steady exchanges led to
close and rapid in-fighting, and both fell, Toni under.
Heenan's eye all but closed up.
36. The Benicia Boy's face was a spectacle to behold,
while Tom was very weak. The Boy rushed to close and
caught Tom round the neck, dragging him to the ropes.
At this time the police, who had been gradually making
their way to the ring, began a violent struggle to get close
and put a stop to hostilities. The Boy tried to hold Tom,
but the latter slipped through his anus and fell.
35. The Benicia Boy dashed viciously in and caught Tom
on the snout, but the blow was without powder. Tom re-
treated from the vigorous onslaught ; Heenan followed and
got home on the aw with his right, still with no effect.
Tom now turned and ran, Heenan after him, when on
turning round Tom napped moon the nose. Ha, however,
landed another little pop on the good eye. Sharp exchanges
at close quarters ended to the downfall of Tom. Two house
had now elapsed.
37 and last. Tom was first up and seemed the better man.
He made his left twice on Heenan'e eye, and the latter at
length caught him round the neck at the ropes and there
held him. Tom's efforts to extricate himself Were vain, but
be administered severe punishment to the Boy's face. The
police at this time got closer, there was a rush to the ropes
from all sides, and we, in company with others, including the
referee, were completely shut out from the view. We are
informed that the round ended' in both going to grass at the
expiration of two hours and six minutes. We had hoped
that the men would now have been withdrawn, as the
referee had been forced from his poet, and the police were
close by. The battle, so far as it may be called a battle,
was for the time over, and the men should at once have
been taken away. We are informed, however, that
although the referee sent orders for a cessation of hostilities,
five more so-called rounds were fought with pretty eVII/
advantage. The ring was half-full of people, and neither
man had a fair chance. Much do we regret the un-
pleasant duty that now is imposed on us of finding
fault with the Benicia Boy for cooduct which was not
only unmanly, but quite against the rules of the. Ring,
and had the referee been present, would • inevitably
have lost him the battle. A gentleman connected
our office who was present, and who had endeavoured-to
stop hostilities, informs us that at the end of the fourth of
these supplementary rounds, while Sayers was on fill
second's knee, Heenan rushed at him in a very excited AM.,
let fly left and right at Tom's seconds, floored them, and.
kicked them when on the ground in desperate style, of r
which he closed with Sayers, anti after a Wild ,
fell together. The final round was merely a wild se
in which both fell. The referee by this time was able to'
get near, and ordered the men to desist from fighting. lm-
mediately after this Heenan rushed away from the ring, and
ran souse distance with the activity of a deer, proving that
as far as strength was concerned, he was as fit as ever, but
he had not been away from the ring many minutes before
he was totally blind. Tall 51,)'ers) although a little tired,
