Macdonald advised him not to rush the

Langham, three days before the fight, and
Nat had no chance whatever. AS it was,
IN the thrty-ninth round he got Savers
under his arm to gire him a sqnecze, since
he could not hit with his left hand. His

Bowling went away. When Hcenan went
back to his second he told him what
Welch had done, md now that he shonld
not whip Sayers alone, but "thc whole

and called on Saycrs to come out or throw

Heenan knocked Wclch down, and then
Bronghton, and then hit Sayers, who fell
half over, supported by the stake. Then
he took a chair at the scratch and if nv
referee had been there he would have had
the fight. He was sorry now that he had
accepted the fac Sim!le belt but wished he
had just came home without any belt, If
they refused him the original When
Shepard was accused of his conduct after
wards, in 81 bar-room, he dropped on his
back and cried, "Don't hit me when I'm
down, dare not fight you," and was not
worth noticing.
tSome oftGg party then related to Hce-
nan the manner in which various women
had claimed him as their husband, dwell
ing particularly on thccas of Adah Isaacs
&c, Menken, who had even imposed on
Heenun's brother, who visited her ut the
Bowcry theatre. Ileenan seemed very
much annoyed at these claimants, and on

any of them who come along in charge of
the first policeman me0t." Hcennu was
iokingly threatened that he would be ar
rested and taken to Buffalo on account of
his fight with Morrisscy, but did not seem
at all daunted at the information.

and was most heartily greeted. MncDon-

is very great, and is unconscOusly dis
played whenever they are together, and
when seperated they are never tired sound
ing each others praises. Both seem to be
men to inspire and reciprocnte affection.
Soon after Macdonald's appearance,
Capt. James Turner, in 81 brief speech,
welcomed Hecnan and his friend to this
country, saying that Hccnan had reflected
dignity and credit upon the country abroad,
and that his endorsement was sufficient to
make any man loved here. IIcenan insist
ed upon Macdon0ld's answering for him;
but being told that he must answer for
himself. he said, bashfully and without
rising, "I'm no speechmaker. Thank you;
it's all very right"
The party were then invited to take

provided for ucennn, but lie declined to

THE BENIcIA ROY IN THE CITY.
Most of Sunday was occupied in visiting
intimate personal friends. Several of the

were wont to cOngrcgate, came within his
route, but ho made his principal rcndcz-

as his hcddquartcrs-th Malta saloon, on
