TuE POLICE ARRivB
The ,oce now made a determined effoit to interfere,
which those present seemed equally determined to pre-
vent and the end of the ring having been cut the ei-
closure then inundated BY dense crowd, which
scarcely left the csmbaans six feet to fight in Ump,res,
and all were overwhelmed, and the whole thing
became close mob round the two men lighting AT
ter this four other rounds fought in the midst Of
allowed the fight in the aires way they could con-
sstent with their having hardly any room to fight at all
This however was, the whole unfair to Sayers whose
only chance now lay in advoidng the tremendous blows
of his antagonist, against whom contended with only
one hand, and who thoughnow as blind as bat was st
possessed of nearly all hs immense strength and, to little
mun like Sayers, very nearly as formidable as ever In
these rounds sometimes Sayes gotawiu blows upon the
head and body, and sometimes he managed TO give
turnhs tremendous unges full in the dsgured face of his
antagonist At time caps thrown up and cheers
gwen for Heenap having won, when he knocked down
Tl-
eau such staggering blows that he IN turn was hailed as
conqueror.
AT length the police forced their way to whore they
were fighting, in space not much larger than ordinary
dining table, and the referee ordered them at once to dis.

Once in the early stuges of the fgh says the Times,
'shouts nd the ring that Sayers had virtually nl
ready lost and indeed the punishment he had received
81 much than that bestowed upon his tall,
wiry antagonist who seemed always smiling and always
fresh that matters really began to look serious for the
Champion and almost 10 wnrran the belief tfat the belt
was going to Troyn
Eighty noblemen and minister from Cambridge,
were present ut the tight.

He is anxious to fight Sayers as soon as pos
