THE CLII AJr P ONSHIP.

The following letter has been addressed to a
contemporary :

Sir,—Ever since the appearance in your paper of
May 7 of the letter of Torn Sayers, I have endea-
voured by every means in my power to ascertain
from him in an official way, guaranteed by the
presence of the editor of Bell's Life, whether he in-
tends to abide by the date recently fixed for us by
that gentleman for the champion's belt and stakes.
The editor of Bell's Life, in view of the sentiments
of that letter, acknowledged the propriety of such
inquiries on my part, and also of such proposed
official response on the part of Sayers, and did what
he could by letters and telegraph despatches to get
Sayers here to answer. Until Saturday, however,
it was impossible for him to ascertain, with cer•
tainty, even in what part of England Sayers then
was, and finally, through the failure of such efforts,
I received information on Saturday from the editor
and referee, that he could not interfere further in
the matter.

Now, sir, as I am left as it were " all at sea,"
and as it was yesterday stated in Bell's Life that I
was desirous of bringing the matter to an amicable
arrangement with Sayers, I will state what I am
willing to do.

I Am willing, first of all, to accept of the pro-
position made by a writer in Bell's Life, that
Sayers and I should have a "belt apiece," to be
gotten up by public subscription, provided that
the true champion's belt remain in the hands of
the editor of Bell's Life, to be fought for again,
the best man to take it. If that be not agreed
to, I will accept the proposition put forth in.
Punch—viz. to divide the belt—l to take one
half, and Punch—viz,,
to keep the other half. I
will then head a subscription tolprovide a new half to
his, and in this way I think good feeling may be
preserved on both sides.

If neither of these propositions (proceeding, as
they do, from English sources) are allowed me,
then I shall claim that Sayers meet me on neutral
ground,
where our late battle may be properly re-
sumed. Though lam not yet quite ready to be-
come a member of the Peace Society, I will cheer-
fully vary my propositions somewhat to suit him.
As the belt may be said to be eqiially owned
by both of us, I will agree to run

race from one hundred yards to

I will swim a mile with him for the belt, or I will

him for the belt. If all these offers will not do, I

public feeling, to accept of half of it. _lf that be
denied me, and through the exceptional action or
the British authorities I be denied the privilege of
another meeting, I shall have no alternative but to
go home, refusing all English testimonials andslib-
scriptions, and shall hereafter feel at liberty--nay,
justified by all the equities of the late transaction
—to sign myself " The Champion of the World."
—I 'main, sir, your obedient servant,
lonN C. lIEENAN.
