New YORK, May 1s.-A very large as
semblage filled the small hall Of the Madi.
son Square Garden last night at the e1hi.
bition for the benefit of Mat Grace's sister.
Billy Madden and Charles Mitchell had
promised to be pre"ent, but perhaps the
little Englishman had conceived such an
aversion to John L. Sullivan, who had
also promised to be present and keep his
agreement, that he must have gone some
where else.
John Kiloran was master of ceremonies.
Denny Costigaut:a1d Bob Farrell had q
lively set to; also Young White and Frank
lyman, Johnny Reilly and Mike Mulry:
The latter couple spared three very good
rounds. Johnny Cash and Jim Murray
followed. Pete Mccoy danced around
and peppered Mike Cleary In ke a !nmping
jack, and Cleary. although he never let
drive at Mccoy showed to very gocu ad-
vantage.
But the chief Interest
of the evening was eentered in the bout
between the champion and his old antag'
onist, Flood. These two fought a glove
fight on a barge up the Hudson Ever. Jast
two wears ago last night, when Flood went
down before Sullivan, like all the others
who had faced him. Sullivan has much
improved since, thanks 30 practice, but it
seemed that Flood had kept pace with him,
although at a respectful distance. Sullivan,
who looked bright and fresh, spared good
naturedly with his old antagonist, who
showed considerable science, and frequent
ly must have made the champions right
arm hitch to be let loose. But it rested
quietly by his side, except once when
Flood came at him rather savagely it was
let fly, but luckily fell tride short, and
Flood escaped

When asked if he read Mitchells state

gets licked very often growls over it. Still
Mitchell needn't come to ME for satisiac-

Cleary. Cleary was whipped, and wants
another trial to get even. Let Mitchell
settle with him. and then I'll listen to
what be may say.
In view of the laot that Mitchell said
that he resisted police interference with
the match on Monday night, Capt Will

being twisted off and a general clatter pre-
vailing about the street.

that some frail wooden buildings in the
outskirts will be blown down, and the
shipping outside will be driven across TO
the east shore of the lake. The squall
struck the city this afternoon. About 400
feet in length and 500 feet in width OF the
temporary building for the coming Expo
sition of Railroad Appliances was blown
down. Two workmen were injured. One
mad leg broken and one was scalped. But
for the fact the police had just driven away
large number OF loungers about the
place, the causualities would have been
numerous. The damage will be repaired
in q couple days.
