great confusion and the crowd pressed forward anx-
iuus to take the pugilistic worthless by the hand.
HEEyAs AND oTTIGsos SPAR
Loud crifs of Heenan' were made, aud every eye
turned nspctvely toward the cottage from which the
Champion had not yetissued. In short time, howey-
En- il was announced that Heenan was coming, ana AZ
quarter after clock open barouche, containing
Heenan Ottingnon, Nixon and Wood drove rapidly
through the crowd. Their appearance was The signal
for the most tumul,uoos cheering. The ropes were
broken down, the carriage drove TO the platform,
Heepan acknowledged the compliment paid him by
DO all sides and sprung out OF the carriage IN
a sprigbtly manner. He wore brown overcoat OF
light material and lead-coored felt bait but had
tai en- the precsution TO attire himself In his boxing
costume His dress differed from that of the others
only in the substitution of silk-woven shirt, with
short sleeves He wore white leggns and caifskin
shoes. His waist encircled with a red silk belt,
confined with nlver clasp. He in excellent con-
dion. He is the finest type of physical perfection we
have beheld His broad chest could be seen to
heave with every respiration, and the great muscles
exhibited themselves at every movement OF the arm.
The confusion at this moment was unprecedented.
Tremendous shouts made that Heenan should
be presented to the crowd but he de-
cined any such honor until order should be restored.
He gave the necessary directions about the disposition
of the ring and ordered the removal OF number OF
oafers who had taken seats upon the platform and OBJ
trueted the view of the crowd. His handkerchief was
hen tied to the ropes in imitation OF the display OF col
ors on the field Of marlborough.
Heenan was then formally introduced TO the spectators
assembled OH either side of the platform and made grace
full bows in acknowledgment of their hearty salutauons
His opponent, Prof. Ottignon of New-York was pre-
seDted Immediately afterward. Othgnon lacks some
inches of being as tall Heepan, but will
probably weigh nearly three hundred pounds. He
is one of the most accomplished boxers in this
country, and specially selected TO spar with
Heensn, in order to bring forward the superior
qualities of that young champion OF the fstic arena
The crowd laughed irreyerently when Otgnon was
presented His figure presents strong resemblance
10 that of Amodio. He wore salmon-colored elk
shir and loose pantaoons of black silk alpaca.
THE COMBAT.

preached him from the north-east warily fol-
lowed by Aaron jones' his second The two pugillsts
Joined hands, and the same ceremony performed
by Cusic, Macdonald, Price and Jones. The seconds
then retired 10 their respective positions, and the prnc
pals proceeded to mimic the fight at Marlborough OF
tignon put up his tremendous paws amid of
laughter. Heenan assumed beautiful position and
began to play upon the offensive. In trce, how
ever the obese professor raped him heavily in the
center Of the forehead There were cries from the
crowd Of Colt, old fatty and as Heenan, growing
warm attempted TO give return blows he was nicely
struck in the mouth, and the round was concluded
amid cries of " Police, police"
TIE champion of the world seated himself on the
knee of his second, Cusick busted hmsef in wping
the PRESENTATION from his face and neck. The bottle
was also brought into requiston and Heenan protected
himself from the rays OF the sun by throwing hand
kerchief his face. The half minute being up, cries
of time, time ~ were heard from all sides, and the
sham pugiists again advanced. Keenan, this time
ceeded no better for, after feinting, Otignon
struck him heavily and threw him against the rope.
The latter, however, lifted him from his perlous po-
sition as though be had been infaut.
On the thId round, however, Heenan displayed his
wonderful power and agility, and completely mastered
his opponent. lie pummeled Ottignon severely, and
was loudly appaue ed and when the Professor attempt
ed TO throw him against the rope, Heenan brought all
his strength to bear and finally succeeded in placing
that member Of the faculty in similar position to that
from which he had just escaped. Otinon began TO |
pant in manner indicative of wearied respiration, and
