From the New 70 EXP e..
From q gentleman just arrived from
England we learn the following interesting
facts concerning Mr.. lIeenan, his condi-
ton, etc NJ. lIeenan, 80 it is reported
to Ia, looks fully ten years cller than
when he left this country for his encounter
with Tom S.yers- but still that ri : ill mus
Gle. in.ln,n table pluck and long reaching
arm are lett him animpaired Hsenan Is
now keeping IL pubIi; house, but i, UNDER
gcing the usual exercises AMI training
incidental to priz. gifts lie is reported
in most excellent condition, an | rs feeling
very sanguine of the result OF Iii. set with
Tom King. 1t is said that he has liz, eSteti
all he is worth on tile coming mill
(about $4,000 or $2O,UO0). and even
among English patrons of the P. T., he is
the favorite at 100 to &c. Heenan, it is
also said, never stripped so finely before,
and Tom Slyers believes him to he the
best tighter of the present day-and yet.
his antagonist, King, is no mean adver.
sary. lie Is as tall ~, it not taller, than
Heenan, and he is well developed and
muscularly built man. His celeb. ated
battle with Jem Mace, in which he knock
ell Mace "Out of time" is still fresh in
the minds OF those who keep the run of
this line OF amusements;" and lis other
battles equally show how hard q hitter
he is. And Heen:n himself probably
(ar d with his left mauler at ,hat) cannot
hit much sharper blow than ca King.
Strength, endurance, and all that compose
the department of muscle he has; but
science-the art Of defence and attack,
the ability to ward off a blow, and to re-.
si>t it by counter-these qualities King
docs not so fully possess a. Heenan As
to Heenan's capacity to intlict punishment
who has doubt? Let his battle with
JOHN Morissey answer. Let the broken
main tendon of Syer's right arm Ohe
auctioneer as it was called, because OF the
knock-down quality attest to this power
in Heenau. OF course, in this country,
the odds are all on Heenan, as King is to-
tally unknown.
Its further stated that Heenan is bound
to have "ti'at belt," if it is possible to Oh
tain it. Or cour-e, To win that, he must
fight Jtm Mace, and unless Mace tries the
- skiilking' game, he most assured y will
have an opportunity OF meeting Iiecnan.
Many OF lietEa!!'s enemies in this country
;!ave intir'rte,I that the fight between lee
nan an. King will never take place, and
that it Vas started as d "s!iy," so that
both men T. gilt make money en- public
exhibitions. This is e!npllatica ly dct:i.d
III the prompt Payment made as each
stake" day occurs AMI the energe!i;
preparations going on with 10th mei:.
rLcy also cast % Gouh5 on his "game-
uesS," 10y talking OF him in tie sub
junc:ivc mood, When tie battle between
Tim and hlorriSSey was really tor o. era
tiun%, EleenHn's iii .iLs and hackers, at
least MANY OF them wanted lin IL Iay
the fnrie t, but IIenan said lie had come
10 fight, and fight lie would lie entered
the ring, an fought, but broke down in
rather Il short ti.ne. Che of his hackers,
Il gentleman who had l. S. Il thousand dol
lars on tim ut that time, states that
Hcenan's les was in horrible condition,
and it was really Il wonder he >tOud it
Us long as he did; and in recent letter
to the same gentleman. John says, He
wants that bet he fought ,yers for, and
he means to have it it possible. Aud if
Mace does not "retire" from the ring
before That time, and Heenan should win
the ;,nill with King, battle with Mace
is altos :tller likely.
