NEW YoAK, July 17.-Before O'Clock
this evening in the vicinity OF Madison
| Square Garden, a perfect ocean of hu-
inanity was gathered. attracted by the
| announcement that within the confines
of the garden Sullivan, champion OF
America, and Tug wilson, champion of
Enpland.iwould haye glove fight. In
the center of the building was a Al foot
ring, five feet above the floors. At half
past seven, 1900 people were in the gar
den, and half an hour later the number
had grown to 5000 or 5000. At about
s:l5, Harry Hill appeared in tae ring,
accompanied 10y Harry Evans and Tom
my Cook, Two English boxers, who gave
\ r.ttliny set-tc of three rounds. Two
local boxers then engaged the attention
OF the crowd fora few minutes. At 9:..ss,
Wilson and Sullivan, the first accom-
panied by Arthur Chambers and George
Holden, and ths latter by Billy Madden
and Joe Cobourn. There were TO be
four rounds fought. under the Marquis
Of Qcssnsbnry rules, three minutes
each. one minute rest, and ten seconds
n the case OF a knockdown for the
fallen man to get up. II Wilson should
fight the four rounds Sullivan agreed to-
pay him $1,000 and half Of the gate
money. Wilson, holding $1,000 in his
gloved hand stepped forward to whers
Sullivan sat and offered 10 bet that
amount he wonid not be knocked out of
time. Sullivan declined the offer, saying
there WAS enough money on ths match.
At $40 Harry Hill called time. when
Goss appeared in the ring. The vast
mass of people rose and cheered, and
seemed wild with delight. Betting at
this time stood sl5 to S7J in favor of
the American. Both men stripped to
t % waist. Harry Hill was chosen ref
cree. The conditions of the fight were
announced. Both men we're in fine
trim. Sullivan seemed to tower above
his adversary. Wilson has fine frame,
:he perfect one of the fighter; his body
is stout, legs short, aud arms powerful,
although he is not to be compared with
Sulivan's magnificent physique. Sulli-
van weighed 100 pounds. and Wilson 40
| pounds. The Englishman, although
manifes,ly no match for. his opponent.
showed himself full of pluck and made
a game fight. He stood the punishment
infiictd by Sullivan, and although
knocked down twenty seven times,
fought against hope, and pummelled and
hammered in every conceivable man
her, managed to stand for the four
rounds and won the one thousand dol
lars and his share of the gate money.
He showed great cunning. In each round
he would endeavor to catch around the
neck of his antagonist and hold by the
arms in lock in gap. His obiec. WAS 10
prevent punishment during the continu-
ance OF the round, and held his antsgo-
mist until the time was up. When he
found himself unable To do this, he
would slip down, and then slowly
rising wariiy watch sullivan, who was
on the alert, catch him. He was very
quick to dodge. and thus avoided sever
nj terrific blows, such as would knock a
horse over.
First round-Wilson leading, planted
light blow on Snllivan's face. Sullivan
then hit the Englishman viciously
three times in succession, and knocked
him down. He fought him all over tho
ring, and on the ropes. planting stinging
blows on the face and neck.
Second round-fhis round was a re-
petition of the first. except that Wilson
instead of leading wason the defensive.
Sullivan punched heavily and long, and
landed Wilson out eight times. Wilson
always managed to gain his feet before
the expiration Of ten seconds. He sac
ceeded in getting one or two blows on
Sullivan, and when knocked down once
or twice drew Sollivan on top Of him.
Third round-Ihis was desperate
one. Suliivan's teeth clenched. aud he
rushed at Wilson and knocked him
against the ropes and all over tho ring,
the little Englishman standing up grimly
and receiving a.terrible slugging, once
in which he gained few seconds, by
clinching and holding Suliivan's arms,

In this round he was knocked down five
| tiunes.
| Fourth round-This round being the
