LETTER FROM JOIN c. HEENAN.
From Wil&es Spirit Of The Times.


LuEDoS, May ., 100.
DEAR SPIRIT: ! am happy TO inform you that am
very well an0 that the liue scar got under The eye
is almost entirely gone. In week or more no one
wOuld suppose Tor moment that had ever been mt
AT all need not say hing to you about the manner
in which the fight was brought 10 a concu n-ony
this have no fault with Saytrs for anything that was
done. II natural that he should avail himself OF
every opportunity that offered 10 ave his belt AID his
hard-eai1ed reputation; but there others whom
hold responsible for depiiving me of what | earned,
and all that am sorry for Is, that here u no earthly
way in which can get redress am e9tITey 10 the
taIde of the referee and he gays Syers bad right to
be relieved when got him in ch8acerv, 80 he gave
him two months to get his wind and come TO tine.
Rather a long spell This | think, should be the
newest of WI az il called the rules of the ring.
am glad 10 say. however that through the determine
ton OF Mr.. w, have got day ret for ncw battle,
but cannot mention It at present, az 1t would COTE
back here IN time 10 interrupt the meeting. In The
mean time think ! sEs 90 over TO Ireland to tram,
or 10 place at any rate where shall not be ha-
rlsstd as / was before. They gave me pretty rough
time of il with their warrants and notices TO quit, aud
want no more of that kind of exercise must say,
however, that j have but little faith in being
able To get the belt, though | have the most
perfect confidence in being able 10 win II IN ess than
half al hour. The persons who were willing TO bet
100 to 40 against me before will not lei me have II
mderanv circumstances and it must not be forgotten
that Mr.. Downing who showed me 40 much favor at
the last fight is looked up to by the boxers here as the
natural protector of the trophy OF Old England There
are hundred difficulties in the way, AMI the lighting
psrt is 30 far as am concerned, the least one of all
They now say that the Government will surely inter
fere 10 prevent If attempt 10 meet again, and IN
addition to this they threaten to prosecute M both for
what we have already done. Rather tight on the
American people that as the boys say Mt home; and
10 tell you the truth am little uneasy that they may
keep their word. Under this state Of things, |
shouldn't much wonder 10 see Savers arrested for
the frat tne and if that is taken, and he IS
bound over in heavy sum, shall be told tina! II lsno
hir fault be- cannot meet me, and the stakes VIII be
darwin and he will keep the Belt for hi, term is out some
time in June. To become Champion after that
shoud have 10 wait till belt subscribed for
and then would have to fight for ii with plenty OF the
I00-to-40 fellows around to me- p to win II. How
ever shall stick TO my point as long as car, and &c;
"A new meeting out Of Savers if possible. SO, IT do
not bring over the Belt nobody shall say chat did
not take every fair chance 70 get il. But mast hold
no here, for have now written the longest letter
almost that ever wrote in my life.
Please give my regards to all friends aud believe
Truly vours j. C. uEENAN.
p S.-We will have 10 speculation in the next fight
in the way of railroad trains threeguinea tickets
There viii be merely party of twenty-five side,
seconds principals spectators, and ali told and then
hope and think that the best man may win. }. G. II.
