this round King gave Heenan rafting sledge
hammer on the nose with his right and brought
the blood down in stream. CHEERS and coun-
ter cheers.)
ROUND Son time being called, both were
up, recovering, or backing, or ducking to get
away Some rapid cOuntering took place.
Heenan went in, when the hugging was
brought into action; but this time failed Woe
fully, for King turned the table and foored his
antagonist.

out his right, and struck Heenan tremendously
about the head. Heenan closed and threw
King again.
ROUND 10-Express speed had now begun in
earnest. King landing out heavily with both
| fists, and at struggle was thrown.
ROUND 11.-Heenan began to show the pace
was telling on him. Coming up, he caught
and threw King very heavily. 1t sounded like
oxen falling out of cart.
| ROUND 12.-Not more than a minute -
heavy exchanges about the head, and Heenan
threw King heavily.
ROUND 13.-Some heavy countering about
the head on both sides, when Heenan closed
throwing King as before.
ROUND A.-Heenan met King at the very
outset with fearful punch from the latter's
| right hand. Some sharp betting. A heavy fall
for King Notwithstanding all this throwing

tress as King.
| AsooND 1V.-As Wdo uOW pldlIlly oCCu tuht tuC
light was telling powerfully on both men
Some swinging raps on each side. Heenan
shot out his right hand with such terrific effect
| that King reeled like drunken man, ultimate
~ falling in his corner. 1t was thought that
he would not face the storm again. That was
the first genuine knockdown blow.

TO look in sad plight. Bis eye was in fright
full state, King having made several sudden
successful shoulder hits with his right ON it.
From this to the twenty-fOurth and last
round, one was like the other, and so short
that it would be almost impossible to de-
tail them. King went ahead in perfect
gallop, and on time being called for the
twenty-tifth round the sponge was thrown
up by Heenan's seconds in token of de-
feat. He was dreadfully punished, and
should not have been permitted to pass
beyond the twenty-first round. King
presented no visible mark of punishment,
except the "mOuse on his eye.
Thus ended this great contest in twenty
four rounds, OCCUPYING thirty-four minutes
and Drawer one never was fought.

Heenan was badly punished
Tho oor1ior ronp6c u-oro IooiIa1ly fo
vorable to Heenan; but King showed the
most endurance.
The fight between Heenan and King
had been the all engrossing topic in Eng
land. The papers give elaborate accounts
of the affair, and Kings victory is natu-
rally received with great exultation.
There was no interruption, and the fight
was fairly fought. The Times devotes a
leader to the affair, and publishes graphic
special account 1t editorially says Hee-
mans game was throughout to close and
put the hug on, so as to crush his antago-
mist by dashing him to the ground. Kings
tactics were different, and more creditable
to professor of pugilism. They consist
ed in striking series of sledge hammer
blows on the most sensitive and prominent
parts of Heenan's physiognomy, until the
latter collapsed from exhaustion. The
affair was over in twenty -four rounds and
thirty-ive minutes. There appears to be
little science on either side; but it was
fair stand up fight, without a check. and
ended in the decisive victory of King.
The Times concludes by asserting that
plize fighting is more revolving than bull
fighting, and ought to be discouraged.
| Tom Savers was one of Heenan's seconds.
