The New York World OF yesterday
says: A. y o'clock last evening
Mar. Harry Hill was busy removing
bottles of champagne from baskets
when . World reporter tapped him on
the shoulder. Cliff those fellows, Sui.
Ivan and Wilson, want to fight" said
Mr.. Hill, "they can fight, and h'if
they disagree about the battle-ground
why that's their business, not mine.
Hit nv want to fight they can fight
m Lonk Island just as we'll as down in
LouSi I'd. The nearer the city the
It rer-Ior police protection" and Mr..
tlIh continued fumbliDg among the
straw. While a girl in short skirts
was singing comic song there was
com motioA at the door and In walked
crowd Of distinguished gentlemen.
Among them we're MIR. Madden, the
of Mr.. John L. Sullivan,
Of BOston; Mr.. Arthur Chambers and
L. Harding, tho representa-
tives of Mr.. "Tug" Wilson, formerly
Of England, but now of Philadelphia;
Mr.. George Holden, and others whose
faces are familiar to followers of the
prize.6ghts. The ostensible occasion of
their visit was to arrange for prize
4 ghC betW cen Sullivan and Tug Will
son. The crowd Immediately surged
into the room on the second floor, where
} drama which had previously been
rehearsed was acted. "Here's s., 00O,"
Iaid Mr.. Harding, "that Tug Wilson
ian lick Sullivan in the prize ring, bare
for $4,000 a side. He will
light Sullivan In either Louisiana,
or Texas, and we are will
ng to draw for choice of those States"
Mr.. Madden looked 1T Mr.. Harding
md replied: Sullivan will fight Tug,
North, East or West, but he won't fight
lin South"
"What's the matter with the South?"
,elled Harding and Chambers.
1.-THE people down there are against
replied Madden. "Dldn't
10 say that most of them couldn't read
r write ? He will fight anywhere but |
Il the South"
"He licked Paddy Ryan down near
Jew Orleans" answered Mr.. Harding,
and l guess he had fair show"
"He won't fight down there" ejacu-
ated Mr.. Madden, land that settles
j."
This remark brought matters to a
5andstill for short time. The repre-
sntstives of the heroes went into side
DOM and had a caucus. When they
ere returning Mr.. Madden was heard
} say "Our man is too valuable
ian; you don't suppose we are going
, let him be '6owneG' by outsiders ?"
Ex-Alderman James Dunn, of
rooklyn, y retired fighter, who had
Sen sitting quietly on window sill, ID
ere arose and astonished the crowd by
"see here, if you fellows
70 on the fight and mean business
by don't you come to terms ?" Then
,hing out roll of bills from his &
Ousers pockets and throwing it on the t
bile, said: S
"I'll take a hack at o fight my self. t
IL fight Sullivan or Tug Wilson for l
900 or 1000 side, and here's the {
lgar to back"
Madden looked at Harding, the lat c
r eyed Chambers aud for moment T
ere was a lull. I
"I'm here" said Madden, Ito make t
fight for Sullivan with Tug Wilson. s
y commission dosen't extend any t
rther." +
"Tug' is on the fight" calculated v
lambers; che is ready to fight any /
,dy for h'any h'amount h'any bloody \
an wants to put up"
'T'll fight him." put in Dunn. Five Z
inutes afterward Dunn and Chambers 4
ere in the hallway talking in low
ne. Dunn was heard to say: "All A
,ht, won't break up the racket" F
When Chambers got back to the
ene Harding said in a loud voice: q
swell, as long as we can't agree at n
esent on ring-fght, let's have q
other glove-fight." Il
Madden quickly answered, GAIL D
