A MEETING, But MATCH.
The announcement in our last that Woods
money, in our hands, had been covered by n
friend of Heenan's naturally created lively in
terest in fistic circles, and various werethe sur
mises regarding the prospects of a match. 1t
had been given out in some quarters that the
hacker of Heenan would not appear at the time
stated to increase the stakes and that the back
er of Woods would be permitted to lift the $50,
the real friends of the "BoY" in that way repu-
dating the action of the gentleman covering
Woods deposit. We also received telegraphic
dispatch from Woods hacker, stating that he
would not be able to be present at the time APP
pointed. However, on Friday, 7th inst, both
parties did meet at our office between and five
o'clock, P. NJ, and negotiations" were at once
commenced. The hacker of Woods seemed dis.
posed to "hy the track" as far as that gentleman
was concerned, he asserting that he had not
named any particular person to fight Heenan
the question was submitted to us, and we stated
that when the $50 was handed to US, it was with
the understanding that it was on behalf of
Woods, although it should be also remarked
that the gentleman finding the money did not
state to US personally, the money being handed
to us by a third party.
After discussing the question, pro. Nnd con-,
1t was finally agreed that each party sh)uld re.
ceive back his $50, and the money was accord
ingly handed over. The sum of $500 (S250
sde) was then placed in our hands, to await the
issue of fresh negotiations. The backer of
Woods offered to name man in three weeks
who should fight the Benica Boy for $4,000
side, either in Canada, or in any State where the
laws were not against prize fighting. Heenan's
friends said they would make the match, and
fight in Florida, and give the opposition $50 for
the privilege of naming that State The other
party would not agree to this unless they were
permitted to name the precise locality in Flori
da. This the Heenan men would not accede to,
but stated their readiness to back Heenan
against any man in the world, bar no one, if
they were given the privilege of selecting the
ground in Florida. 1t being evident that there
was no prospect of tho F" conflicting elements"
becoming harmonized, neither party showing
disposition to throw away the least chance, the
money in our hands was returned to those who
had deposited it with u.s. and thus terminated
the proposed match for the American Cham
pionship, between the "Benicia Boy" and the
yankee Boy"
The Hecuan party were anxious to close
match with Woods, but the gentleman who
brought forward Mr. Woods, plainly showed his
unwilngness TO confde himself to that individ-
ual, and claimed specified time in which to
produce man. The nicely with which the
various points were discussed by the leading
spirits in the negotiation would have done hon
or to the most distinguished diplomats, and the
two were so evenly matched in their system of
fnessing as to make itimpossible TO decide which
of the two had the best Of it. Both gentlemen
seemed to be fully impressed with the truth of
tho maxim that "a match well made is half won"
All separated on :he most friendly terms, not
withstanding some little feeling was manifested
during the discussion. Neither Woods nor llee-
nan was present at the above meeting, the for
mer being in Boston, and the latter in New Or
leans
ANOTHER IMPORTANT MATCH-ToM SAVERS AND

Owen Swift, and it agreed that month
