l have received many ANONYMOUS letters
asking NE II am no ashamed OF myself for q
great fellow like me to come over 10 whip q
little man like Sayers. Under ordinary cir

HEENAN'S PROTEST.
The following appears in the London
Times:
Slr-l am desired TO state, Oh the part of Mr.
John &. Heenan, in answer 10 your report OF
this morning, that neither he nor any person
to act for him. req ues ted the referee
AT The late encounter between Savers and him.
SELF TO stop the light W hen the ring was broken
into On the contrary, he and his friends,
nearly All OF whom We're grouped in little
handful al his corner, repeatedly protested
against the invasion of the ropes and demand
nd That the light should not be interrtipled
In proof OF this, Heenan breasted his way
three times through the crowd OF persons who
pOn red Ito the arena fl ON the side of Sayers
TO renew the combat, after that outrage had
taken place, and who refused to leave the ring
and did not do SO until SaNers had been with
drawn. He wishes me to say, moreover, that |
he feels snre that, had not that occurrence ia
ken place. he would soon have made his victory
manifest to the most pref udiced person on the |
ground. As 10 the suggestion which has been
KINDLY made by the editor of Bells Life that
Sayers and he should have belt apiece he
begs to say that, while he will cheerfully sub
scribe to new testimonial for his brave and
adversary, he will have none other
than the one he came 5000 miles to get, and
which he honestly feels ne has already won
He believes. however, he can win it again. if |
req uired 10 do so; and if it be really amenable
TO conquest by Il stranger, he will not leave
your shores until he brings his late contest TO
4 new and due conclusion.
On the part OF many Americans in London |
who have called upon me, we repudiate en- |
Lirely the idea expressed a the conclusion of |
your article-naIneiy, that Heenan's Ameri- |
IAN supporters "consent 10 the contest being |
considered drawn battle' They, on the |
contrary, insist that the fight, il not decided |
10 be already won 10y Heenan, shall be con-
'idered AS stiil pending, and subject to renew
Il at the earliest possible day. Through a |
lote from the referee. which now lies before /
ne, learn he has refused a new arbitrament |
his week (according TO the usual cGstom) |
ON the ground of humanily;'' but, while the |
rIends OF Mr.. Heenan cannot object TO such
highly creditable motive, they disclaim for |
nm the requirement OF any such considera-
ion, be being quite capable of responding to
he orders OF the referee, and Will so respond
II an hours notice. The friends of Heenan.
while they acquit the upright and gallant
,ayers and his immediate hackers from any |
in the violent interruption of
he contest, wish to declare the ciearness OF
1eenan's supporters from any completely
Tith that outrage and III this connection de-
ire me to say that when a man i'll our coun-
ry who has engaged TO subdue another re-
lures outside aid to help him, As was given to
savers in the 39th rou.G, he is considered to |
Ne beaten. In short, whenever "humanity''
ustifies such interference, The verdict is given
ga.nst the man whose cong uered and hope
ess condition requires the practical interpo. |
ition OF such Il sentiment
In conclusion, wish 10 say for myself that
n the haste OF writing my long report, the
attIe part of which has been published here |
II an illustrated extra, a few errors crept in |
which could not be corrected for that edit tion |
s had no time allowed me to either revise |
ny manuscript or read its proof. One of these
rrors WAS omission OF the word "at'' in the |
ast line ot one of the closing rounds, when in |
peaking OF the Conduct OF the persons who
roke into the ring, ii should read "they |
licked At and struck at him. ins tead of
kicked and struck him.
| send with this a corrected copy of that re-
ort and II you will lay it before the gentle
1an who prepared your ably-written ac-
cunt OF W ednesday, and he will point out
ny errors l have made therein, l will cheer
niiy correct it for perusal in America.
Very truly yours, GEORGE WILKES.
