pondent of-the Ny Tnep, whose graphic
elters from the scat Of war in italy were read
10 TIE United States with so much interest
by his countTymeR, thus closes his account Of
the fgl between Heenan aud sayors:
The fight had lasted abJut two hours, and
had been thus far eonducl uriectly fairly on
both sides. There was not the slightest show
Of "loul' during all this time on either eide,
and both men were yet firm on their pegs and
capable Of fighting half as long sgain HOe
nan had the most marks, because he was young,
his flesh was soft, and whenever Sayers touchs
ed his noddlo it swslled out like puff ball.
Bot of the two Hoenan had yet much the most
| Fl yht in him. One of his eyes was shut, and
all Sayers' hope was to shut the other
Everybody saw that il was his only chance,
aud all his FIRE was directed at Heenan's TemainN
/ g eye. Heenan being afraid Of this game
determined to throw all his force into few
concluding rounds which should finish Sayers
Hssnan now went at Sayers most terribly
and succeeded in getting his cad into chan
cery. Iu this position he held him hard against
the stake, within three feet Of where ! stood,
and here the fight would have been ended if
the English had not rushed in and broken up
the ring, Sayers was black in the face, and
by the tune Heenan would have finished the
round, if let alone, Sayers could not have
come to time, The English say that Heenan
was killing him in that position and that they
were right IN interfering; but the fact is that
lIeenan was only trying to throw him, and in
doing this his giant arm was stopping the
circulation in SayeFs' jugulars. He would
have got him down before he was totally suf
located, and the fight would have terminated
BY Sayers not coming to time.
| After this there were three rounds fought.
| in all Of which Heenan had the advantage, and
in one Of which he held SayeTs head again
long timo in chRncery. Each time Sayers
was much too slow to the scratch, aud it was
evident to everybody that the est Of the fight
was Heenan's. Each time, tco, the ring was
broken up by the English, notwithstanding the
efforts of the Americans 10 preserve it. The
widest confusion reigned, and it was evident
to the most stupid looker-On that Hoenan was
not to be allowed to gain the money he had
honestly won.
AT tue end of these three rounds Heenan
again came to the, and stood in the middle Of
the ring waiting for his man, anxious to finish
the fight, bat Sayers did not come to time. At
ter waiting halt a minute beyond the call, and
Savers still remaining seated, the Americans
yelled triumph and took away their man But
when they looked for the Referee, Mr.. Bowling,
to obtain his decision for their man, he was
not to be found He had withdrawn at the
round in which Heenan had held Sayers so long
in chancery, and in which the ring had been
broken in, declaring that he would not preside
where lie could net see what was taking place.
The Police, also, who had interiered, ordered him
to des.st acting as Referee, but this took place
before the ring was broken in. Under any
circumstances, however 60 ID Mr.. Dowling's
excuse may have been for leaving the place, it
must be reeOllected that it was Ssyers' friends,
the English, who broke up the ing, and rcn
dered the termination Of the fight impossible.
HoreOUer the Police loere not o6eyed, nor The
ring broken dOlOn till IL i0Gs eUident that Sdyers
i0as a lohiPPed man
Heenan is blamed for showing his temper at
the close toward Ssyers and his seconds. But
after what precedes, the reader will know how
to excuse his momentary forgetfulness Hee-
nan ran to the railway station after the fight
with as much activity as if othing had Oc
CURED, while Sayers was supported away from
the place by his seconds.
Mr.. bowling declares the battle drawn enc,
the bets are to be cancelled, and if the fight ia
renewed it cannot take place Tor month OI
more.
