THE GREAT £2,000 MATCH,

HEENAN AND KING.

The arrangements are now completed for :bringing off
this exciting event in the course of the ensuing week; but
as to the day, time, and place of starting, &c., all that can
be said is, that every one must be in Louden on Tuesday,
Dec. 8, at the very latest who wishes to be present. The
entire conduct of the affair has been left in the hands of a
great conveyancing firm, who have stipulated that to them
must be entrusted the selection of a day, a time, an hour,
and distance from the metropolis; and this being agreed to
they assure us that they have every confidence that
they will bring off the battle without let or hind-
rance. The difficulty as to the " roughs,' too,
seems from the admirable arrangements that have
been made to be entirely obviated. A sufficient force
has been secured, exclusive of the ring constables, to ensure
protection to gentlemen ticket holders at the point of depar-
ture ; and as the tariff is arranged by the company at £3s 3s.
(the inner ring will be 10s. additional), and not a single per-
son, not excepting even the men and their backers and
seconds, will be conveyed free, there is every hope that the
company will be very select.

As to the belligerents both are well up to the mark.
Heenan will be a trifle bigger than when he fought Sayers,
and to all appearance is a far stronger man than on that
occasion. King, too, is somewhat bigger than heretofore,
but it is doubtful whether he will much exceed 13 stone,
while the Benicia Boy will be near 14 stone. Heenan is
still the favourite, but anything over 5 to 4 is freely taken
by the Kingites. Neither man will come to town till the
last minute.
