Hsenan ordered him to be called, and in che
me1ntime took an armchair and prepared to
snswer his friends interrogatories He had
not brought the champion belt, he said, for II
was not paid for, and Bowling would not let
him have e. Sayers' belt was in the sane
pfedicament, and the manufacturer now held
the three belts-Atlfe original and the two fac
did not accompany him to the steamer, be-
cause he had hurt his arm by = fall from =
wagon, and though anxious to 20, Heenan re-
fused to allow him 70 accompany him further
than the railway station. Sayers would not
suit our people; he was too aashy, and talk
ed Of himself too much for our notions. Hee-
nan ssi1 that he was much more popular in
Ireland, he thought, than Sayers was. There
had been no disturbance while he was in Dub
lin, except from the immense crowd. Sayers
was grossly insulted there, but Heenan was
lifted up in his cab and carried about three
miles by the people, who kept saying, You
may walk over our bodies and souls" and
such expressions.
He WOULDN'T LIQUOR.
The conversation was here interrupted by
an invitation to drink, which Heenan declin-
ed, saying that he never took liquor--a proof
that his strength Of mind is equal to his
strength Of body, for heis continually among
drinking men, and has no lack Of temptation.
One Of the Staten Islanders thereupon
drank the champions health, with many cx-
pressions of admiration and regard. Heenan
sat evidently much annoyed. Ny heart ID
broken with such things" he remarked in an
under tone to our reporter; " if they but
knew how much disliked it they wouldn't
say any such things" 49,,
Some one announced that Heenan's father
was unwell, and Heenan would not resume
the conversation thus interrupted until he had
made arrangements to have his father notified
This arrival and intention to visit him shortly.

/. HE FIGHTS HIS BATTLE OVER AGAIN.
In answer to many interogatories, and with
him, Heenan said that he lost his left hand in
the third round OF the fight. After that he
had to close it before he left his seconds

He could not strike hard with it, and every
time he did strike, the pain went to his heart.
Savers had been informed that he was cow
ard, and therefore at first looked to see him
run at every blow. Morrissey was the cause
Of this mistake, and this explains what the
London Times says about Sayers pcering cu-
riously to see the effect of his blows. Mac
Donald advised him not to rush the fight
having seen so many big men whipped by
Sayers-of be would have finished II sooner.
He put on the gloves with Nat Langham
three days before the fight, and Langham had
no chance whatever. As it was, in the 39th
round he got Savers under his arm to give
him . squeeze, since hecould not hit him with
his left hand. His other arm was over the
rope, with which it got entangled while he
was trying to hit Sayers. Then they cut the
ropes, hit him with clubs and cut him from
head to foot. Shepard hit him with club,
in spite of Bob Brettle's fourishing a whip
and threatening to knock Shepard's brains
aezt. They then pushed Sayers' up, only to |
be knocked down and caught in chancery
again. WEIGH then tripped Heenan up, eve
Tything being in confusion, and Bowling
away. When Heenan went back to his Sec
end he told him what WEIGH had done, and
now be should whip not only Sayers, shut
the whole bloody corner" He went to the
scratch, and called on Sayers to come out or
throw up the sponge. Sayers was leaned up
against stake il order to stand erect. WEIGH
came between Heenan and Sayers, and Hee-
nan knocked Welch down, then BrougEton,
and then hit SayeFs, who fell half over, sup
ported by the stake. Then he took chair !
At the scratch, and if any referee had been
there, be would have had the fight.
81 SORRY he ACCEPTED THE OTHER BELT.
q He was sorry now that he accepted the. fac
ssasile belt, but wished that he had Just come
home without any belt, if they refused him
the original. When Shepard was accused of
his conduct afterwards, in bar room, he |
dropped on his back and cried = Don't hit rue
when I'm down i dare not fight you" and
he wasn't worth noticing. 81
HE REPUDIATEs THE DIVINE MRS. KEENAN,.
Some of the party then related to Heenan
the manner in which various women had
claimed him as their husband, dwelling par
ticularly upon the case Of Mrs Adah Isaacs
&c. Mcnkin, who even imposed on Heenan's
brother, who visited her at the Bowery thea
ter. Hcenan seemed very much annoyed at
these claimants, and only said, :" Hasn't she
got cheek? I'll give any Of them who come
along, in charge ofthc first policeman meet"
