HEENAN IN PuILADELPHIA.-Greatn numbers o.
the governing classes" of Philadelphia turned
out on Wednesday to witness the pucilistic exhibi
tion of Heenan and his friends. The Inquirer thus
describes the last sham fight:
THE LAST CONTEST
This supposed to be an exact representation
of the fight at Farnsborough. OF course we can
not say whether it was or not.
The Professor, the opponent of Heenan, is from
New ork, where we believe he is the manager or
n s1f;,
eallbre. weighing over two hundred pounds but
nevertheless endowed with muscular power. He
tossed up copper (aias nickel) with the champion,
to see who should have the choice of places or
rather corners. Both parties finally arranged
themselves.
In one corner were Prof. Ottingnon Price and
Aaron Jones. In the other were Keenan, Mcdonald
and Cusick.
On one side of the platform was VIM. McMulIin.
who, with watch in hand, kept "tme" for the
combatants.
The shining brightly in the faces of all
those who were in the open space in the centre of
the woods.
One, two, three, four and five rounds were fought,
Heenan almost always having the advantage. The
men were both in what members of the prize ring
would call "gOod condition. and laughed and
seemed to enjoy the blows in their faces amazingly
Alter the fourth round the Professor, who repre-
sented Sayers, gave signs of failing, and retired
corner, in which was found small black Bottle
which was not labelled strychnine
This failing on the part of the stout representa-
tive OF Sayers was greeted with cheers by the en-
thusiastic populace, who saw in his defeat the
triumph of their favOrite bOy.
This was the cue for the entree of the friends oil
the sham Savers, who proceeded en- nasse to assa
Heenan. AS in duty bound, he attacked them all
and according to the programme, they were knocked
down, of course not being injured This free fight
which everybody understood as being an exact pic
ture of the termination of the afray in England,
was loudly applauded and closed the enter tanment.

$50 you see have seen the Queen. The Dukt
went before US, and made two bows, and then wa
left in the presence of the Queen. She came for
ward to meet me, and held out her hand for me t.
kiss, but forgot to kiss it, and only shook hand
with her. The Queen asked me many questions
and was very kind in her manners and very friend
ly to me-. Then my Quaker friend spoke to tn
Duke and said, Il suppose the Queen knows 70
| what purpose my friend has come? p The Duk
said all my papers had been explained and laid be
fore her Majesty, and have her Majesty's com
mands to investigate the Indian affairs when g

| Queen bowed to me, and said, Il am happy to prom
ise you my aid and protection and asked me my
name The Queen then looked at her husband
who stood at her left side and smiled. She receiv

when saw her come smiling and so good 70 a poor
