Round 3. This round was begun, like both
the. previous ones, in Heenan's corner. and
both began it by the same emblems of happi-
ness that had been exhibited at first. Seye-

Round 5. Gwen betting on Heenan.) Hee-
nan now went at Sayers and passed over To
his side of the ring and opened the fighting.
Sayers, however, admonished by the fearful
visitation OF the terrible left hand which had
now sent him twice to earth, began to get
shy, and gave way; and at length, when fol-
lowed still more closely by Heenans con-
tracing brow, fled from the approaching mis-
chief by sideway sort of run. But Heenan
seemed to have been instructed in this arti-
fice, and gathering up his arms, smiled and
took q new and waiting position. Savers
came up again, and they began to spar anew.
Presently Heenan found his chance, and let
ting go his left, caught Sayers smack upon
the forehead. Bewildered somewhat by the
blow, Sayers gave way, and Heenan pressing
on, repeated the visitation twice more; Savers,
after a light return upon the cheek, going
down to avoid.
Round 9. 'Six to four on the Benicia Bow
Sayers came up this time looking as if he
meant mischief, and walked, as at first to
Heenan's corner, and there commenced the
battle. In few seconds his good intentions
were. developed by tremendous hit under
the right eye, which made clean crosswise
cut of half an inch, let out gush of blood,
and at once puffed up the eye. Stung by
this blow Heenan rushed upon him, and with
another clean hit from what his friends call
the left duke" knocked Sayers down.
Round Z. When Heenan came up to the
scratch this time, his right eye was fearfully
swollen, and projected upward like cushion.
This was an immediate signal for the ieers
and taunts of the friends Of Sayers, and the
Champion himself took part in the enioy-
ment by placing himself in front of Heenan
with folded arms and smiling pityingly on |
him. Heenan paid no heed to this, but bore |

The men resumed their work again, Heenan |
trying to land his left again; Sayers cleverly
stopped it, however, and some exchanges
look place, and they separated for sponging
again, without finishing the round. Savers,
not having much blood about him, was soon
inished, and he amused himself by looking
