illustrations Of the fgh5 between Heenan and
Sayers. Here was Say ers knocking the
claret out of Heenans nose. There was lIeen-
an upsetting Sayers witha ponderous blow
in the mug. Here wac Sayers f,oaIing ilo
boundaries of Heenans eye There was IIee
nan knocking Sayers down again Here as
Sayers doing his utmost to put fist into the
same place under Heenans eye that he had
put it before, directly in the raw There
was Heenan Strengthening out his arm like
the hind leg of mule, and knocking Sayers
completely off his pins. And so the illustra-
