The referee, how- ever, ordered the men to be on the ground already named. At half-j)aat six o'clock, a start was. made, and after a Journey ot twohpnrsond'o half, the ring was pitched pith great despatch by Fred Oliver and his asshjuutts,^ The hacker of Dutch Sam asked the referee what condnotha should pursue,'when' that offldal said the men must 'be Inthe rtogln a quarter of an hour. Drew wansoon to the ring, and ready for action, but there was no applarance of the Saet-ender. Drew was aa Uvely as a Ulten, bat snowed some, marks of Batch Bam's handiwork, to the shape of a pair of Uackeyeaand a cut on the bridge of eulty. Then came the. tune ot fighting, and about this there thtogs l>elng thus &r dono m r<^ attention wsa next dnown was but little dlsonsslon; each wanted b long day, eaoh, no ' • - - '-^ ™. , doubt, boring an eye to bustoesa during the ensntog summer, when the fkot of their betog matched tor £3,000 wUU naturally, greatly enibanco their popularity throughout the ktogdom. This preUmtoaiy betog overcome, ond the periods for snd amounts of deposits settled, camk the awkward question of o referee, and this was the only notot which caused.muchdlouaaion, and upon which any difficulty waa experienced.. Uany persons ware proposed eh either aide, and no aooner propoaed than rejected, nntU 'Etog, although knowtog that we had long deoUned to act oa referee, proposed "Tha Edltdr of Bell's I^t." Heenan objected to thla; he aald there might be three or more editors of BdVt Life, andi it was tmposilhle to say who might be Editor of BilX't lAft ntoe months' hence. He hod no. objection to ourselves personoUy,' as we had atood refbree' when he fooght Bayers, and if Etog would cona^t to our being named to the articles, he would pre- fer IL King waa equally wllUng, and although both were assored we would not act personally, Heenan Inalsted that he would hove us, and no one but us, and so our name was inserted to the articles, and they were duly signed and wltaessed. This quesUon as to a referee caused not a Uttle dlfSouIty, and had nearly oottsed the motoh to drop through. At the time of the mtcb. between. Sayeis aqd Heenan i^emetwith such, toaatment A the Sohda of the Amwlcan party, abetted by one or tvro Eng- fUUy, and risked a coating of groMe, to grasp tha prize displayed ao tembttogly upon the top of that pole, and many an eye gazed*, wlstfoltf at It, but It waa not untU acme twen^-flve had at- ' tempted the feat, that It waa "lifted." When the lucky one did' . obtato It, you would have.been amused to have observed how overjoyed hewas, danctog around the pole like one poeaessed, Veruy It was t^e "happiest day of hla life." Seme of the climbs ers 'wonld succeed to getttug near enough to touch the prize ' with the tipa of their lingers, but here they would eoine to a halt, and, after reflecting a second, would conclude to "let her sUde," and descend to lenafirma once more vrith fearful rapldl^,. greeted with the shouts of the spectators.

Imagine, therefore, our disgust, when we observed the first person who presontod himself "walk over the course,'' and 'nary 0 badge" did the.blarsled thing make, l assareyoult hlaqose; but on the body he waa scathless. The seconds of ^as provoking, especlaUy to those todlvldtiala who fnrDlahed the to the drawtog up ot artlclea. There was on evident eamestoeaa to the proceedings that savored strictly of boatoess.

Here every one Imagined there would be 0 hltoh to the whole proceedings, fbr Heenan dlsttoctly announced that he would not agreftfor the editor of Bell's Lift to.be ref. eree. Thla waa a atartUng declaration, and every ntoe out of ten to the room began to think the matdi would dnp through.

BIr.Ward dcdlored that Dutch Bam could not fight, but that he hod cheerfUUy obeyed the masdsteof the referee. The backers of the other claimed thb mdney, and aaked the referee to award the bsttls to Drew.. Ward wanted the referee to take Dntoh Bam to'ohoapltal, and bavo him examtoed; but that the official to question considered out of his Juriedlotlon, to- asmach as the cerUfieato had not been shown to him on Wednes- day, when .there would have been time and opportunity to toves- tigale the matter thoroughly. The referee, however, did not give bis decision on the ground, but ordered the men to meet him yesterday morning at the stakeholdei's, when the decision llshmen who should hove known traitor, that we stated poalUve^ a acore neither I nor Heenan goes down without being knocked down, so Ihe referee's task will be an easy one.
