before HeenaB, and surveyed him with the
most amazing e,oOnfdenoe, and asif he we're his
captive. When they came together again,
Sayers was the first up with light tap, and
they then separated once more for wipe Of,
neither being in q humor 70 press too rapidly
on the other. They came together again with
light exchanges, another separation took placs
and the round ended By Heenan measuring

Round S8.-Sayers was this time very slow
to rise from his seconds knee. The game
little fellow had already made the most SUPER
human exertions, but he found he was over
matched, and it was like fighting against fate
TO hope to overcome his game-Iasting and
powerful adversary. Though be showed no
evidence Of sinking Of the heart, hi want q,
( prospect had 3 plain effect upon hsis spiTiu,
and Hssnsn had to go after him almost % his
seconds knee. Il vas plain that the fight
was nearly out Of him, and his friends saw
clearly that his chance was gone. While,
therefore, the tive men eonmene ed to square
away, they thought to make diversion In
favor Of the champion BY an outery Of = Po-

either be induced in natural panic to Jump
over the ropes, and thus forfeit the fght, or %
turn his head 80 that the Wstchful champion
might get on his LEFT eye. But the arti6ce did
tht take. Heenan had been forwarned Of the
notended dodge, and be had seen, moreover,
inat several policemen had been quietly look
ing as the battle ever since the seventh round
BE, therefore, only fought on the fercer and
Sayers being on the look out for chances at
the same moment they had passage Of real
ding dong give aud take, fighting on the an
eient style. The blood flowed freely from them
both. and two or three times they stepped
aside TO sponge, but neither paid any more
attention 70 the sEaying crowd, and the
pretended effort to keep back the police,
than il no effort Of that sort had been made
Heenan got sharply on the nose Of sayers, and
the latter in return caught HeensR sharply in
the mouth, drawing q further Quantity Of
blood. Sayers seemed 70 be encouraged and
to freshen up ct this, and went after Heenan,
but the Boy caught him and foored him with
another square knock-doWn blow. 600 to
20 on Hesnan.
Rsund S4.-SayerI now came up very weak,
and his partiSsns seeing his chance vas al
most hopeless, kept up the elamor about the
police, while the poor police, beWildsred ct
their own importance, or rather at the sudden
and fictitious Importance thus given to them,
looked on in perfect wonder at the senseless
panic. But Heenan paid no heed to the idle
trick, but went up TO the fading sayers aud
hit at him with effect and then closed upon
him for fall. In the thiekast adversely there
often comes ray Of light and promise, and
just ct this point the Champion found CLEAN
Of promise, which seemed to show him the
road 70 victory. As they struggled for the
fall, and while they fell, it so happened that
Sayers' right hand became free to play upon
Heensn's left eye, and play upon it be did 50
vigorously that it threatened to elose under
the unexpected visitation. Sayers vas thrown
and Heenan fell on him; but when the latter
reached his corner, and the swelling eye was
seen, the hopes Of his friends began to be dis
turbed.
Round s5.-Ssyers rushed in to improve
the opportunity thus given to him, and with
his apparently improved chances the olsmOr
about the police subsided, aud during the
sharp exchanges that ensued, that particular
alarm vas d9Be, aad the round ended BY
Heennn seiEing Sayers in his arms and
throwing him cut from him clean to the earth.

On the lea eye a. the hackers Of sayers sup
posed he had plenty Of daylight in It to find
his adversary, and he went after him like a
tiger. Right and left he gave It 10 hin in the
most commanding style-frst on the mouth,
then on the right cheek, and then hit him
against the Fopes. After slight separation,
and process Of sponging Of, be went at him
again, but caught it on the mouth, and she'd
considerable blood in consequence. Again !
he pressed upon him, but Ssyers was too |
quick, and went down to avoid.

p Illed at its sore and Habby folds most pain

and Ssyers slipped down.
