| minutes to 10. The general feeling was in favor
| Heenan, and it was remarked by great man
who had been shouting loudly for Sayers durin

by his tremendous power and endurance and goe
nature, and the fight is considered one Of tn
| greatest which has ever taken place in England

| World were expressed, as the crowd were weni

ture to look at, but there is doubt that had on
