little singular that while have been disturbed no

Morrissey has arrived, in company with Dad Cum

in the papers that if win my battle with Sayers,

changed the time Of fighting to Wednesday, the
18th day of April. This news you have in advance
of others; make of it in the Clipper. Wilkes

you to send the Clipper to my trainer, Jack Nc
Donald, whose address enclose. He is staunch
friend, and his heart and soul are wrapped up in

and if do not fight and do my duty on the 18th,

In the Cincinnati Herald we find the following
attempt to foreshadow in verse the result of the

Protected by forehead broad and white,
And hair cut close lest it impede the sight,
And clenched hands firm, and Furnishing in size
Steadily held or motioned wary wise
To hit or stop-and kerchief too, drawn tight
Der the unyielding loins-to keep from flight
The inconstant wind that all too often flies

Dips her rich pen in claret, and writes down
Under the letter H. first on the stone,
-John-Irsh parents-age not known
Good with both hands--weight, twevle stone four.
