Messing tho brilliant glove "setto last evening between
the renowned English boxer, Aaron Jones, and John o.
Heenan, the antagonist Of Morrssey in Hoyms theatre,
Bowery.
From twelve to fifteen hundred persons assembled as

the English trainer OF Keenan, their personal respect lor
him man and scientific boxer The exhibition wsa
for his benefit Every nook and Of the building
crowded from the floor TO the ceilng-whcrcver q
standing place could be procured. Ths sparrng exhibi-
ton given by the "Bencca Boy" in Mozart Hall, just
preceding the great light for tho championship,
more to show OH the candidate for public favor than for
sparrng. The "fancy" then wanted SEQ Morrisseya
rival and conentedy paid their dollar for the sight but
last evening they wanted TO tho sparring At the
first exhibition eenan and his friends afraid show
his points, lest friends Of his opponent might take notes
and report Aaron TOO though dutful trainer, and then
content ITO play second ndde, and willing for the
ment to take little "pepper' without retaliation, has
since been understood 10 have had kind Of ambition
for free setto TO show his points before he re-
crossed the With this expectation tho admirers oe
the 'many art Of selfdefence pail their dollar last
evening" and for full hour from the opening Of doors
to the raising Of the curtain sat compacenty enveoped
in clouds Of tobacco smoke great anxiety 70
be early and procure good seat TO better sport.
An efficient brass band was fortunately engaged 70
to be suocated by fumes Of tho weed TO he
tune OF "hal Columbia and other favorite airs. How.
ever time and tobacco smoke rolled away, aud at last
full half an hour after the appointed hour for
ng-the curtain rose, and displayed to wondering eyes 70
clear stage and no favor"
Johnny Mackay, one Of the seconds of Heenan, soon
entered and made his bow master of the ceremonies
He first introduced
JOHNNY AARON. OF LONDON. AND TIN x'AnrmuR, OF
NEW YORK,
Who opened the ball Johnny considerably shorter
at both ends than his New York cousin all the

their respectful bow and exit, to gve place for

adorned in the upper man they displayed their "bus"
the furious gloves for nvc ronndsplenty Of hitting in
almost every fashion, but from tho 'sh0ulder that so
much debghteb the fancy Notwithstanding the absence
Of science they heercd for pluck and gave place for
NEW YORK.
Responding to the call OF "time,' they cheerfuy
walked up 10 the scratch John bigger and heavier
than joe but the latter gentleman quick his toes
and got out Of reach often II avoid
his friend Johns kindly attentions. This tho nrst
set that warmed the lockers on and the applause was
neither scanty soft Feet hands tongue chcered

door by which they made their exit still in tho struggle
Never satisfied, the delighted admirers Of both did
their beat to get from them round, :, but they
knew best when they had enough
