S:15 Harry Hill appeared in the ring, accom-
panied by Harry Evans and Tommy Cook,
two English boxers, who gave a rafting

engaged the attention Of the crowd for
few minutes. At 1888 Wilson and Sullivan,
the first accompanied by Arthur Chambers
and George Holden, and the latter by Billy
Madden and Joe Goss, appeared in the ring.
The vast mass of people rose and cheered,
and seemed wild with delight. Betting at
this time stood 800 to SIS 10 favor of the
American. Both men stripped to the waist.
Harry Hill was chosen referee. The condi

to pay him 81 900 and half the gate money.
Wilson, holding 81, 600 in his gloved hand,
stepped to where Sullivan sat and offered to
bet that amount that he would not be

on the match. At $40 Harry Hill called
time, when both men cane in full view.

Wilson has the perfect frame of fighter.
His body is stout, legs short and arms power
full, although be ia not high, as compared to
Sullivan's magnificent physique. Sullivan
weighed 100 pounds Wilson 160. The
EnRlishmap, although manifestly no match
for his powerful opponent, showed himself
full of pluck and made game fight. He
stood the p Inishmeut inflicted by Sullivan,
and, although knocked down twenty.seven
times, fought against hope and pummeled and
hammered in every conceivable manner. He
mana ed to stand out fer the four rounds and
won 81 900 and bis share of gate money. He

ouist until time was up. When be found
himself unable to do this, he would slip
down, and then slowly rising warily watch
Sullivan, who was on the alert to catch him.
He was very quick to dodge, and thus avoided
several terrific blows, such as would have
knocked a horse over.
Round Wilson leading, planted a
light blow on Sullivan's face The latter then
at lsCh ry,pfo al,r min
times in succession knocked him down. He
fought him all over the ring and on the ropes,
planting singing blows on the face and neck.
Round 2-This round was repetition of
the first round, only that Wilson, instead of
leading, was on the defensive. Sullivan
punched in hammer and tongs, and landed
Wilson out eight times. Wilson always
managed to regain his feet before the expira-
ton of ten seconds. He succeeded in getting
one or two blows in on Sullivan, and when
Knocked down once or twice drew Sullivan
on top of him.
Round 3-This was a desperate one. Sui
livan's teeth clencaed, and he rushed at
Wilson and knocked him against the ropes
and all over the ring, the little Englishman
standing up grizzly and receiving terrible
smuggling punishment. Once in q while he
gained q few seconds by ciinchipg and hold

as the stakes were concerned, was in favor
of Wilson. Time bsing called, Sullivan
fairly leaped at Wilson. He pounded and
