THE MANLY ART y has become quite the talk
since the arrival of John c. Heenan and Aaron Jones
| in our midst. No matter what the art may be, the
presence of lion professor of that art is sure to at
tract general attention anywhere, and render the art
of which he is the professor, topic Of talk in ali
| circles. u
So, the pressure here Of two of the prominent par
ties to the recent great milling match in Canada, has
made boxiana subject Of general discussion and
if people cannot agree upon the merits or dement's
OF the socaed "manly art, they are at least unaui
nous upon one point, and that is, curious and very
natural desire to have good look at the men whose
fistc prowess has furnished SO much work to sketch
ers engravers, writers, and printers throughout the
civilized world. There are many who have not seen
the "Beneca Boy" and his trainer and would like
good opportunity of seeing them. For the gratifca
ton of all such we will state that those celebrities in.
tend to crafty the public curiosity and benefit them
selves at the same time, by giving public sparring
exhibition. Bills about town will give the particulars
| in due time.
Our friends who do not favor this sort of thing,
must not be hasty in accusing of belonging to the
boxana side of public opinion but having seen the
respectful Difference paid to the stic lions wherever
they have gone and having heard all sorts Of people
talking about them, we consider them and their
movements legitimate subject Of reportorial men
tion. t
