The sporting fraternity Of this country have been
ptoe for weeks the prospect Of great fight
between John G. Heenan and Tom Sayers--the
spectve representatives Of knucke pluck and shoulder
hitting in the United States and in Great Britain.

fraternity, and all the visions OF piles Of
the gittering re the betting table, gradually
vanish and by degrees become beautifully less. Hsenans

before the cute Benoa Boy Bes Life perfectly ignores
the American, and bots him from the list OF Sayers
opponents. On the latter that sporting oracle says:

enter into an engagement which would enable his
opponents TO have many they chose in training
