We are told, and can readily be-

interesting one. Mace, insseonse-

habits, was in far the best condition ;
Sayers being, as is we'll known, con-
siderable of a bon vivant, with a
strong partiality for indulging in con

His indomitable bulldog courage,
tremendously powerful hitting and
thorough practical knowledge oftight-

fast fighting, terrific hit from the

Mace all abroad, and unable to come
again to the scratch. AS soon as it
was over, Tom was among the first
in cndeavoring to bring his gallant
opponent round, all his animosity
having evaporated on the defeat of
his antagonist. Sayers himself did
not escape unscathed, as Mace repea-
tedly visited his 'sdeal'' with his dan
gerous left, making his "mark' very
legibly, while Tom showed that his
