P UGILISM.

THE CHAMPION'S BENEFIT.---A truly sporting
scene was presented yesterday evening at St.
George's Hall, Southwark, on the occasion of Tom
Sayers, the champion of England, who will ere
long have to measure his prowess against the
Benecia Boy, taking farewell of his metropolitan
friends and admirers, prior to settling down in his
training quarters to those arduous duties essential
to befit him for what is fully expected to.be one of
the toughest, as it certainly is one of the most im-
portant, contests in which this pre-eminent boxer
has been engaged since the commencement of his
extraordinary career. As this was known to be
positively the only chance the metropolitans would
have of meeting Tom prior to the eventful day, his
friends, as may be anticipated, rallied round him in
great force, the building being crowded in every
available part, all the " talents being present, and
many of the champion's aristocratic patrons. Tom
was well assisted by his brother professionals, and
when the champion made his appearance his recep-
tion was most enthusiastic. He looked indeed re
markably well. His sea "dipping" had unquestion-
ablyc much improved him, bracing the frame and
setting the muscles, thus giving tone to the system.,
There was a sprightliness and elasticity about lom
that was highly gratifying to his friends, who ap-
peared to be struck with an irresistible conviction
that, although there were formidable odds against
him, he must win. Tom, on the conclusion of the
sparring, made his acknowledgments to the com.
pang, who with cheers, thrice and thrice age in re-
peated, wished him, in truly English fashion, suc-
cess in his forthcoming engagement. We had nigh
forgot to mention that Sayers on presenting him-
self before his friends displayed the colours of each
man for the forthcoming contest, likewise the
champion's belt; and, in his usual good-humoured
manner, assured the company that he once more
intended to win and wear the same ; which bold
announcement was received with a round of ap-
plause.
