The latest account tr0m Sayers and Heenan

and both confident OF success. UP TO this

the BETTING ON THE RESULT.
The betting still continues seven to four
on Sayers and although there have been a
few small sums laid at two TO one, this, for
the last fortnight, has been the state of the
odds. OF course il is impossible 10 be very
accurate in such q supposition; but gentle-
man well posted in sporting circles tells me
that he thinks at least hundred thousand

pion's belt Is reouired 10 fight any man. of
whatever weight, size or country, for three
years after it comes into his possession, a
period of six months being allowed to elapse
between the fights. AT the end Of three
years the belt belongs to the champion.
Sayers's time of probation will expire in
June, and should he conquer Heenan he will
then be entitled to the belt; and he has
stated that, win or lose, he will never fight
again, but will retire from the arena in which
he has given and received so many hard
knocks. Should Heenan win the belt,
should think he would be in worse con-
dition even than the man who won the ele-
phant in the rattle, for he will be SO beset
with challenges that he will certainly have
to fight for It every six months for the three
wears to come.

sum from this source. The tickets are put at
f3 3s.-about fifteen dollars and a half piece
and this is to be divided between the rail-
way company who furnish the train and the

| three thousand tickets will be sold, and this
will give Heenan and Sayers each as their
share about twelve thousand dollars.

Tom Savers has remained all along at
Newmarket unmolested, and we are informed
has left no stone unturned TO bring himself fit
to the post. His weight during the week has
been lost. 9lb., and we are informed that when
he fights he will not, including his boots, ex-
coed lost. lob. or lost. lib. If this be SO,
he must be as well as his best friends can
desire. He like Heenan, is extremely conf
dent as to the result, and is in high spirits.
