Sayers and Keenan, from the 10th inst to the 18th.
4 This, 1t Is alleged, has been done to prevent any
interference with the fight by the authorities, and
to throw the crowds Of roushs OIL the scent. But
there y, IN reality, no foundation for such rumor
III the anticipation Of interference by the authori-
ties, and probable change Of the day, the Heenali
| party have made stipulation that the fight shall
not GENE oil earlier than the 18th of pril On this
subject the editor of Wilkes Spirit says.
Ii Ii settled that the visitors to the arena shall be
conveyed there By special train. and to make the
matter as select az possible me rare viii be axcd
class cars. This will be a the ticket Of admission
required to see the fight, for the train will stop
| when ordered, and everybody will at once swarm
| to the ground. Two rings VIII DC formed, and
trnsses OF straw will be furnished for the SIC and
$25 spectators according to their degree. The
contest will probably come oil, think, exactly on
the day named, though, if there be reasonable
apprehension Of interference from tle authorities
on that date, it will be anticipated some three or
four days, the only stipulation existing Of present
on that subject being as requested by Heenans
party, that 1t shall not come OIL earlier than Thurs
day 18th Of April so you will perceive there Is no
foundation for the rumor which has got into print,
that it may even now come OF at any day. Inc
editor Of Bells Life in London has the direction OF
this matter entirely in his hands and get the
matter directly from him.

That, should the fight not be decided on the
day, all BETS instead of being drawn, shall be put
together and divided unless the fight shall be re-
sumed the same week between Sunday and Sun
day, in which case the bets shall stand and be de-
cided by the event. That where the day named in

another day, bets shall stand,''
The New York Herald Of Wednesday last says:
Betting in New York shows the Benicia Boy to
have decided call over his English antagonist.
The friends of the latter have never ceased laying
the odds Of 100 to 3d. and occasionally, still larger
upon his success, and have now invested all their
money. Many friends of the Boy have refraned
from backing HIN until recently. as they imagined
still longer odds would be obtainabie. @Dsap-
pointed in this all rush into the betting market to-
gether, and the desire to "get on Heenan at any
price has naturally sent up the Benicia stock to
premium, 100 to so being laid ON him. AT the
great center of sporting speculation in England,

formed circles that Heenan recently engaged in

boxer, and that the Bencia boy never possessed
