To THE EDITOR OF THE New YonK CLIPPER
Dear Sir: Will you please allow me to inform MIR,
Heenan that he will see by the columns of Bells
Life and have no doubt also in the pages of the
Clpper that am matched to fight an Unknown, for
f200 side and the champions belt, to come off on
the 10Th OF November next, being two months after
my light with Brettle, and cannot make a match
with Mr. Heenan, unless my old opponent, Aaron
jones' refuses to fight me, as my hacker, Mr.. John
Gideon, left ESQ at Bells Life office for me to fight
Aaron Jones for f200 side and the champions belt.
six months after my fight with the Unknown-that
is in case beat him; for should be beat me- have
no belt to fight for give Mr. Aaron Jones the re.
fusal; but, IT he do not fight me- will make match
to fight Mr.. Heenan, within six months after nv
fight with the Unknown, for any sum over f2O0 a
side, as may be agreed on In fair terms between us
for the championship of England and the champions
belt, according to the rules of the Puglstic Beneyo
lent Association.
Yours, ohedently, TOM SAVERS
London, May 7, 1861 Champion Of ERgdi,a.
We also received private letter from Mr.. Gideon,
in reference to the second challenge of Mr. Keenan,
and to which the above letter appears to be reply
1t will be seen that there is no prospect of Heenan
getting on with Sayers for eighteen months at least
unless either of the matches referred to should fall
through Of which there seems to be no probability
At present. The match between the Unknown and
sayers is progressing with all due regularity and
Aaron Jones, we understand, is now on his way to
his city, to make preparations for an early return to
England, and to get himself in proper trim for the
TASK he has cut out for himself. The Benica Bow is
here at present. undecided what course to pursue OF
course he will have to bide his time if he still desires
meeting with the English champion. Whether he
will be able to pick up another customer in the mean
lime, time will tell Whatever transpires in reference
% the match with Sayers will always be found at an
Early moment in the columns of the Clipper.
