 1 NEW YORK, May 14.-Before the doors of Madison Square Garden opened this evening
 the streets outside the several entrances were blocked with crowds of men bent on witness l ing the sparring match between the English | and American champions, Mitchell and SuIli- | van. Over two hundred policemen were sta I tioned about the garden. Inspector Thorne was in command with Captain Williams as chief aide. Despite this large force of police men it was impossible for them to restrain the rush that was made when the doors were opened. Tha coming crowd momentarily increased in numbers and seemed in no wise diminished by the large numbers swaI- lowed up in the spacious build ing into which they poured. At
 the Fourth avenue entrance the crowd
 was the largest. Two lines were formed,
 one extending up Twenty street half
 way to Madison avenue and the other up
 Fourth avenue to Twenty-seVenth street.
 About the entrance surging mass of men
 crowded in toward the doors. There were,
 it is estimated, at least ten thousand persons
 in the building before eight o'clock, with
 others attempting to get in. The audience
 was much mixed and in it were theatrical
 managers, actors, city officials, clubmen,
 brokers and sporting men from Boston, Phil
 adeIphia, Baltimore and Chicago. The first
 part of the evening was devoted to set-tos be-
 tween Mike Mullery and Peter Me
 Coy, Johnny Riley and Pat McDermott,
 Jimmy Kelly and Jerry Murphy, Jimmy
 Murphy and Fiddler Weary, Bob Farrell and cheers at the Madison Square end of the gar den proclaimed the coming of the champion and his English antagonist. As it had been rumored that Sullivan had been drinking and could not appear, his presence sober and bright was heartily cheered. As he stepped into the ring 1t was seen that he was in good form. He was naked to the waist and wore salmon colored tights, white stockings and black laced shoes Mitchell wore shirt, white tights, striped stockings and black laced shoes. He too was cheered, but 1 the appearance of the two men as they stood l in the center of the ring showed that Mitch I ell had no show and was disheartening to his l friends. Frank Stevenson, who up to this | time had acted as master of ceremonies, resigned his place to Billy Mahoney, of Bos- 1 ton, who had been selected to act as referee. 1 At the call of time both men came to the | scratch in good shape, but it was evident i that Mitchell realized that he had 8 heavy | task before him. Sullivan set his teeth and | an ugly smile played about his lips. Sulli- | van lost no time, but let out terrific | left handed blow which Mitchell clever ly dodged. Mitchells answering blow fell | short. Sullivan again jumped for his opponent 1 and fought him to the ropes, where he went l down Mitchell got up cautiously, but soon got an inside hold where some blows were | exchanged without much effect. Finally | Sullivan got loose and gave Mitchell a pow erful blow, knocking him against the ropes and to the floor of the platform. Mitchell on rising again rushed and after being once | repulsed got in 8 blow which sent Sullivan | sprawling on his back. The Bostonian | quickly recovered, however, and after some sharp fighting the round ended. The 1 second round was opened by Sullivan tap ping the Englishman heavily in the face. Mitchell made game fight, but was irresist- l ibly forced to the ropes where he was knock ed down. When he arose he clinched the Boston strong boy, but only for an instant, being thrown of as if made of cork. The Briton was again forced to the edge of the platform and sent to grass. When they met again in the center of the ring Sullivan forced the fighting and ended by striking Mitchell blow which sent him clear over the ropes and on the heads of the densely packed spectators near the platform. The English man was rescued and sent limping to his corner, having hurt hislegs. In the nextround 1t was evident that Englsnd's representative had no possible show. He stood up gamely, but was knocked down three times and almost hurled over the ropes again on the third knock-down. At this point Sullivan stood looking at his game but vanquished opponent with the same grim smile on his lips and Captain Williams, who had been critically watching the bout with g large force of police at his back, jumped on the stage and extended his club between the two men. There was no occasion, however, for him to stop the fight, for at the end of the allotted ten seconds Mitchell was unable to rise and was more than willing to acknowledge his de- feat.
 The receipts were estimated at $19,000, $3,O00, leaving Sullivan $9600, Mitchell $3, 260 and Madden, his agent, the same sum.
