survey with his eye Of the crowd about him.
He looked very handsome, with an eye as
clear as bell, and an expression Of cOun-
tenance which betokened health and solid
ity. Hesnan came in few moments after
wards, with Jack Macdonald and James
Cussick. "Ths Boy" wore white coat,
and looked cool and composed. Upon his
entering the ring Saysrs measured him
with mis- eye, and walking up TO him ex-
tended his hand, and they then commenced
little laughing and apparently pleasant
conversation, which continued. two or three
minutes, when Heenan tossed penny for
the choice corners, and Sayers guessing
wrongly, Heenan had the choice, and chose
the corner where his back would be to the
sun, while Saysrs would have to face it,
and would also be obliged to fight little up
hill, as the grounds here were slightly ris.
ing.
These preliminaries being settled, the
men began to strip, and in few seconds
presented themselves in full fighting cos
rume. naked 10 the waist, wearing white
tighs, knee breeches and stockings, and
high quartered shoes. When stripped the
contrast between the size ofths men was
very apparent. Sayers has splendid de-
velopement of chest and neck, and sppar-
emily more breadth Of shoulder than his op-
ponent, but Heenan, also, with a fine mus
cular Development, lowered above Sayers
like giant above a pigmy.
Upon being stripped, Hsenan was spon-
ged all over his head and chest with cold
water. He had removed his moustache,
and his hair was closely cropped in the
prize fighting style. The GOODNESS and
composure which, under all the circumstan-
ces, he exhibited, was really astoni.hing.
Here he was in foreign country, come
to fight the champion Of that country, who
had won his belt and fame in many well
contested battles with the most celebrated
! fighters of the day, while he had never
appeared but once in the ring and then he
was defeated, and here be was now sur
rounded by crowd of two thousand per-
sons, the large majority Of whom wished
for his defeat; and yet he exhibited not the
slightest degree Of nervousness, or that un-
easlness of look which might, under the
circumstances. reasonably have been ex-
pected. Each man had his celors fastened
about his waist, and each seemed ready and
anxious for the mill to begin.
| THE FIGHT.
Hour after hour the fight continued, both
men bruised and bloody, still fought brave
ly Cir such things can be called SO, and
well they were supported and encouraged
by the cheers of their friends, and with a
smile playing upon their bleeding faces
they followed up the fight for two hours
and six minutes. Two masses Of muscle
directed by two brains, performed the work
allotted 10 them. We never could have be
lieved iha, anything human could sustain
such continued furnishing withou, prostra
tion and iainting, but little water, little
brandy, little rubbing, and few words
of coEsolation, seemed to keep the machines
in perfect order. In the thirty fifth round
Heensn almost blind, rushed madly at Say
ers, caught his neck under his left arm, and
seemed as though he were about TO strangle
him. Savers body was in front Of Heenan
and his face towards his back. Heenan, in
attempting to strike him, caught the rope
under his ether, when, we regret 10 say.
some of Sayers' friends kicked Heenan and
pulled him down. The ring was then bro
ken in, when the referee left, and e general
mob was the result. Sayers' friends tried
10 stop the fight, and called upon the police
to stop the disturbance, while Heenan's
friends determined it should go on. Sew
eral rounds were fought when Sayefs re-
fused TO rise from his corner. when Hee-
nan went at him, knocked him of his seat
and then knocked down two or three OF his
friends. who refused TO throw up the sponge.
After this Heenan ran with his friends to-
wards the cars. The struggle with Hse.
nan in the last round had evidently worn
poor Saysrs out, great as is his endurancs.
how THE AMERICANS BEHAVED.
We will there state that the Americans
have most unusual manner Of exhibiting
their satisfaction and delight. A. the con-
clu,ion of each round they would clap him
on the back as if they were desirious Of
testing the thickness Of skin; then. when
he hit saysrs well. they would jump up in
the air like so many antslopes.
Americans loudly and threateninely
claimed the fight, bat no one could agres,
