--Heenan and Sayers gave joint sparring exhi-
bton at Manchester In the afternoon and evening of
the 9Th inst The price of seats had been reduced
one half the amount at first advertised being finally
fixed at 81 so, 81 25 and so 81. The applause was
enthusiastic when Savers closely followed by Heenan,
came upon the platform; each being in sparrng cos
tune, and wearing gloves. They at once " set TO- 3"
and had seven bouts, with sharp hitting in each.
In the very fret, Heenan gave good sample of his
le-hand hitting of which much was said after the
fight, and by which he did so much at Marlborough,
for he caught Savers full and fair in the forehead
that the Englshman staggered backward In the
third bout Sayers returned the compliment very clever
ly. After acrobatc exercises by other perform
ers the Champions reappeared in the ring and the cere
mony Of presenting the belts was repeated prefaced
by the following exquisely humorous speech from the
Chairman, Mr.. j. Norris an American" we quote
now from The Manchester Guardian:
The Chairman, after some introductory remarks
narrated the facts now so well known, TO the settle
ment Of the question, remarking that when two brave
men, who had acquired respect for each others quail
ties met face to face they did that which months
of controversy had failed to effect. II was 10 be
hoped now that their friendship would be sincere and
lasting. (Applause.) He believed that the termina-
ton TO in accordance with the desires of the
great majority Of the people Of England and America
lapplause; that it was felt that all that could be
proved by prize battle had been proved that cour-
age, endurance, and skill had been displayed in the
greatest perfection; and that again to pit the men
against each other would not only be needless, but
cruel and barbarous Loud applause 1t was be-
eved that the interest taken in the fight the settle
ulent, and the men, would Justify the repeti
ton, in various parts of the country, of the
ceremony of presenting the BELTS which took place re-
Gently at the Alhambra Palace, London; and as MIR.
Bowling, of Bells Life, and Mr.. Wilkes of the New
York Spirit Of the Times, could not be expected to
travel for the purpose, he the Chsrman) would read
Mr.. Dowllngs address to Heenan, and Mr.. Wilkes's
address to Sayers. The Chairman then pre-
sented the glittering belt to each man, each
bearing, like the original belt, the words,
Champion of England In FURNISHED silver. Con-
tnuiDg his remarks the Chairman said: II was
reported in the papers that at that part of Mr. Wikess
address which related TO Heenans intention to return
the belt, had he won it, to Sayers, there were some
expressions of incredibly. Hypocrisy is the vice of
towards; but do you believe one so brave would
descend to mean and needless piece of hypocrisy
lCries of mol To show that the feeling expressed
that Mr. Hyer one of the first American pugiiss said
that if he were 10 fight Sayers and could win he would
draw the battle rather than net disgrace on 90 good
man. lApplause.l 1t has been insinuated that the
light between Heenan and Sayers was likely TO create
i'll feeling between England and America. A cry Of
Nothing Of the sort Laughter. believe this to
be an error. Nations, like men, respect those whose
qualities they have proved and earned TO admire. The
non IN tbe euplen OF EDghnui tne eagle tnat OF
America. They have divided dominions One is king
of the earth the other of the air. England and Amer
lea may well be content one to be as the lion the
other the eagle. Let be the great power of the
new and the other the great power of the old world
and let their only rivalry be in science art literature
good works, and-manly sports. lApplause.p
In the evening the same programme was performed,
with variation in the orator Of the occasion--Mr
Charles Soman then officiating His address appears
to have been more howery than that Of Mr. j. Nor
ris, an American" and The Guardian says it was
overwhelmingly overdone with puns." AS compen.
