Sullivan, at the conclusion, was unable |
to stand, and had TO be carried to the

of the train a. the Baltic Switch, it was |
deemed advisable to remove him to the |
house OF friend there.
The party returned to this city at !
100. without single disturbance or
fight.
The first round virtually whipped Sui
Ivan, he not being able to ward off
single one of Trevillian' $ sledge-ham-
mer blows after having received the ter
ribe winder under his left ear, and it
IVES simply brutal to force him to receive
six others III as many rounds.
The result of this fight astonishes the
friends OF Sullivan. he having u much
better record than Trevillian as fighter.
John Sullivan was born of English pa
rents in Melbourne. Australia, and ia
about IS years of age. He fought IL
battles il that country and was victori-
Gus in nine.
Thus the much talked Of prize fight
has ended by almost walk over for
Trevillian, he having vanquished his
opponent in just eleven minutes. The
best of feeling prevailed, after the result
became known, between the friends OF
the opposing bruisers, and they all re-
tnrned in the same train. without q
word of bitterness or anger being inter
changed. This, and the absence of all
upon the occasion Of what
we consider such a brutal exhibition, is
a matter of extreme wonder.
Trevillian fought at 1872 pounds weight
and Sullivan at 1872.
