looked upon q sort of holiday And we believe, from
the of the men, that the 10th OF April VIII be
awaited by Sayers and Heenau IN tue ga ne cheerful
spirit II is TO be hoped that the Americans demand
for fair field and favor will be conceded. Ii the
ring is ever 10 regain its ancient reputation, the st
step will be to make that all the proceedings IN
it above suspicion of Partially in umplres, or OF
dishonesty in combatens III that condition could be
fulfilled we think that neither the danger TO life and
limb the repulsve features Of prize tight, would
prevent these exhibitions from recovering good
deal OF the popularity which they enjoyed during the
last great war. Even Mr. Williams who is so shocked
military and naval flogging, has counted the fsts OF
Lambeth among the OF defense available against
q French invasion. Certainly if there were in Lam
beth 10000 volunteers capable OF administering 10 an
enemy the terrible upper cut Of the champion, we
might safely reckon upon them 10 put hors de combat
large hostile force by the only OF the cheapest and
simplest Of all weapons. We veGture 10 suggest that,
after the opinion he has expressed of che vaoe of pu
giistc skill, IT would only be night OF Mr. Williams 10
diel lay the champions colors in the House OF Com
mons. We are told that they are made of the finest
SILK and that the design If most beautifully executed.
IL is the standard of England In the center, the
British lion rampant in each corner upon cream
colored ground, with a crimson border. This must
be a very neat thing, and would look uncOmmonly
well upon Mr.. Williams. But whoever wears these
colors do hope they will be suhed by no unfair
ness toward foreigner whose friends upon the field
may be but few. Ii the ring on this occasion prove
itself capable of honesty, the world will not IN future
be 70 much surprised, probably IL is on hear
ing that patience, temperance, and self-eontrol
of'en displayed by prze-iighters III very high and
rare degree.
