MORE ABOUT THE PRIZE F1GHT.


Paris correspondent of the New York Times,
has, in Saturdays issue, long letter--a re-
sumo of the great prize fght--from which we
extract as follows.
Previous to the fight the English did not
complain of the differences in size Of the two
men. IL was considered that Tom Savers
by his superior science, his great experience.
and well-known judgment, would make easy
work Of IL. But now, since Heenan 10 shown
to be the better man, we hear most lament
able complaint from one end Of England TO
the other-and the London Times is the prin-
cipal echo of this complaint--that the one
was a pigmy and the other giant. Now,
Tom Sayers is not q small man, nor is Jack
heenan giant the difference is not at all
enormous between them, and in many menu
0rable fights in England the difference has
been much greater. Moreover, when Heenan
is in position he stands low; his head was not
more than an inch higher than that Of his ad-
versary. But his arm is an inch longer, and
this no doubt was a real advantage in the
fight.
sAYERs's SUPERIOR HARDNESS.
On the other hand, Tom Sayers had an inn
portant advantage over Heenan, an advan-
tage that certainly compensated for the differ
ence in the size Of the men, and one which no
one seems thus far to have noticed. Heenan,
from his youth and the very little battering

puff ball, while Sayers, on the contrary, has
the cellular tissue Of his face completely con-
solidated by long bruising, 20 that Heenan's
blows, which were powerful enough to knock
him down with stunning enect, produced no
moore swelling of the face than II 1t had been
marble. A cicatrlce can not be made TO
Now II is o fact patent TO every one who saw
| the hght that for the last hour Toms only
cnance OF gaming was IN shutting up

that one object. so that II Heenan had lost

But Heenan's eye was not going to shut
as rapidly as his enemies hoped for, and if
Mr.. Bowling had consented to give him
| few more minutes's fair play, the Champion
wonld have been knocked out of time. The
Loudon Times made totally gratuitous as
sertion, intended to cover up the disreputable
| treatment of Heenan, when it declared that
| the latter was blind by the time he arrived
at the train. The statement is totally un-
founded. The fact that the Sayers party laid
| so much stress on the eye is sufficient evil
| dence that they recognized Heenan to be
otherwise the better man, and just so soon as
it was evident that Heenan's eye was too
long in going to shut, and that Toms pins
were growing too Timber, was the ring
broken up and the police obeyed. Heenan
fights fair stand up fight for two hours in
order to show his science and his endurance,

The London Times says that heenan had
two other advantages the sun and nigher
ground. The latter is an Illusion easily ex-

higher ground. But it was mere illusion of
the eve. and a reporter disposed to impartial
ity would never have imagined 80 fiimsey a
pfetext for throwing so important an advan-
taee against his man. Speaking of the mud.
reminds me of a fact worth noting, that at
the end of the fight Sayers's breeches were
black with mud, while Heenan's were as
white as when he commenced the mill.
