our remarks on this ga3!an. fght to the length |
which its merits deserve It WIS up to the u1->
fortunate termination, decidedly the very best
Championship fight we ever Witnessed. 1t was
to the time aforesaid fought out With the nanl;-
ness, q fairness, and q determination on both
sides worthy Of the highest commcndation.-
Without IN attempt at shifting, each scoEned 10

edEy was each Of them cheercd. The game dis
play ed on both sides was remarkable. The glut-
tony and bottom Of Tom Say ycss are too proTelht-
u to need further comment 1t cur hands; but
as certain rnmors have been flying about to the
effect that ueenau was destitute Of thase quali-
ties, We deem it right to express our belief that

Us; sud had We not known his career, ne GER
tain1y should never have set him down as nov-
ice: lie has al excellent delivery With his left,
which WAS a. straight IS dart, aud early in
the fight was very heavy It appears 10 US,
however, that his hands sre not Strong, for be.
fore half tho battle was got through, hlslet hand
was 50 much swelled As to be almost useless, and
this, doubtless, Tas fortunate for Tom, who,
with his right arm gone, could hare made but q
poor stand against such . weapon bad It retain
ed its original hardness. Of Els right Hetnan
makes but little use, but ,his is quality be may
yet learn.
Of Tom SaYers We need say no more than
that he fought the battle throughout With cou-
summate tact and Judgment, and considering
that his right arm {h.s principal weapon) was
rendered almost useless from the commence
ment. too much praise cannot be awarded TO
him for his courage aud coolness. We are Of
opinion, even without that arm, that be would
eventually hare pulled through, had the tight
been finished On the day; but it is useless spec
ulating on cases which may ret again be brought
on for trial, and ne shall therefore leave the
question Of nationality the only point that has
been decided, and the only point in our opinion
requiring decision, is that both England and
America possess bFaFe Sons, and each country
has reason to be proud Of the champion she has
selected Whether the match will be fought

the British Champion on bis own ground. A
