October 21, THURSDAY. Principal news the issue of the much-talked-of prize fight. Morrissey prevailed against “The Benicia Boy.”*

* John Morrissey and John C. Heenan, two pugilistic Irish-Americans, had fought at Long Point Island in Lake Erie, about eighty miles from Buffalo; Heenan was knocked out in twenty-one minutes.
