ana once more the cheers went up for Sayers.-
Heenan rushed forward, but his blow passed over
the shoulder, and Sayers catching again heavily or
the mouth, went down amid great cheering from
ms friends. This a very severe round for
Heenan, who bled very freely; but there was moi
man on the ground who did not admire the sound
game which he displayed in following up the sharp
est and most damaging cuts.
ROUND 3l.-Two to one offered to be taken by the
friends OF Sayers. SayerS encouraged by the sue
cess OF tne last round and the evident bewildering
erect 1t mad on his opponent, walked over to Hee-
nan corner, and opened the campaign himself As
quIck as thought he planted a sharp cut on Hee-
nan nan mouth, and followed it by light touch on
the lett cheeE, In which direction he evidently still
hoped to have come back for his satisfaction. he
avoided cleverly by getting down and lettinG the
fierce shot of Heenan pass hurtless over his
head. ~

seconds corner, and when he confronted Savers he
did not show that aacrity of battle he had exhibit

away, and subsequently few passes were ex-

more for a wipe off, neither being in a humour to
press too rapidly on the other. They came to-

atlon took place, and the round ended by Heenan

him down by a tremendous blow on the nose

ROUND 33.-Sayers was this time very slow to

stranger, might be struck with alarm, and either
be induced in natural panic to jump over the ronps

seen, the hopes OF his friends began to be disturb

j ROUND 35.-Sayers rushed in to improve the on

lice subsidized, and during the sharp exchanges that
| ensued, that particular alarm was done and the
round ended by Heenan seizing Sayers in his arms
| and throwing him out from him clean to the earth
! as ii he were a frog.
ROUND 36.-Heenan, however, in addition to this
| strength, was not much damaged on the left
| eye as the hackers of Savers supposed; he had
plenty OF daylight in it to find his adversary and
he went after him like a tiger. Right and left he

hit him against the ropes. After slight sepa

Round 3S.-lt now plain, from the noise
| around Sayers corner that it was the determine
ton OF his party to bring the fight to such close
as would save Sayers the belt, but still Heenan
| kept to his work. and Macdonald kept steering him
| with Judicous steadiness. He was determined to
| light and do nothing else so long he could get
Sayers to hight with him, and though the ring was
now on the point of being broken n he went up
| to his man and fought as manfully and as desper-

Sayers must have sunk helpless to the EARTH inca
pable to respond again to time, whereupon, finding
desperate crisis had arrived the adherens of the
Champion actually took hold of Heenan's arms
and while they kicked and struck him, dragged the
! beaten Champion from his hold.
ROUND S9.-The confusion was now so great that
no appeals could possibly be heard, and the ring
| being broken in by the friends of Savers, at the
same moment, the Referee very improperly got up
and retired. Heenan, however, apprehending some
new artitce to prevent him from obtaining the
belt he had so fairly won, remained in the ring,
and when time was called, went after Savers again
through the centre of the crowd that now swarmed
within the inner ropes of the arena. Savers was
pushed up towards him, but he easily hit him down
or pursued him to the corner among bis seconds,
| man would drive boy.
In the 40th and 4lst rounds the dishonorable
treatment was repeated, Sayers neither time being
brought up until Heenan presented himself before
him, and demanded he should come out and fight.
| Finally, when he went up the last time for
ROUND AZ, finding that though Savers could not,
or would not rise from his seat in his corner, and
his seconds refused to award him the victory that
| belonged to him, by throwing up the sponge, he
advanced upon him in the midst of his seconds and
struck him where he sat. Being struck in return
by some else in that corner, he turned upon
| that other party, and, in his just indignation at
the outrageous manner in which the object of his
| ambition had been dishnnOrably wrested from him.
he opened a free fight against them all. His
friends, however, intertered, and carried him back
10 MS CORNER, from whence, aler declaring himself
to be the winner of the fight, and the true owner
of the belt and title of the Champion of England,
he left the ring. Fair minded and honorable En-
glishmen will decide whether these rights so dear
ly and bravely won, shall not be given to him be-
| cause he is stranger to their soil.
REMARKS.
The heroism displayed by the Benica Boy, and
his courageous bearing, was frequently applauded
during the fight. Little therefore, did the small
| bands of Americans seated around that Ring ex-
pect to see it broken up. That it was so, will be
| found too true, and its motives too plainly,
| when our narrative of the contest is perused We
| hare hesitation an pronOmcing John c. Heenan
| fairly entitled to the Champions Belt. He knocked
down his adversary thirteen times, and one
| occasion threw him like frog At last, after a
rally and a close, in which the cOmbatants Rugged
each other on the ropes, and the odds were 10 to
on Heenan, the crowd broke into the ring in most
rulianly manner, under a false pretence that the
cOnstabes were interfering. These very cOnstables
had been on the ground during halt the battle,
and were averse to making any attempt at getting
in. But the ruflians, seeing that their man would
be beaten and their money lost, made the presence
| of the police an excuse, and stopped further pro-
| ceedings.
At this iuncture the Referee quilted his place,
most unfortunately leaving all question of "fair or
| foul" without deciding voice. Three rounds were
fought after his departure, and at the end of the
| third the uproar was tremendous, the ringkeepers
were unable to keep the mob back, and the victory
which would in few minutes have been awarded
| to John Heenan could not be obtained. The cow
| ardly mob saw the laurels within his grasp, and
tore them away from his reach. We acquit Tom
| Savers of anV fOrpEnow led nf their intpntiOn-
