 Madden's English S1ugger - He Gives
 Bruiser Cleary a Little Surprise Party.
 NEW YORK, April 9.-At the athletic enter
 tainment given this evening under the man agement of Billy Madden at the American
 Institute, there took place club swinging exhibition by Prof. Hoepler, collar and el-
 A-SSSA Dempsey, in which each won fall, bouts with gloves between Samuel ColIyer and Pat Jordan, Joe Flomes and Frank Wilson, Gus Lambert and the ''Black Diemsnd," John Saunders and John Moore, Jimmy Murray and young Tom Allen, Charlie Mccoy and Joe Keenan, Funny Cook and Dan Dougher- ty and Johnny Keenan and Jimmy Ryan. The event of the evening was the match be- tween Mike Cleary, Of Philadelphia, and Charlie Mitchell, the English champion i'm ported by Billy Madden. Oleary ap- to the waist and seemed to be in good form. He was greeted by his admirers with loud applause. The En- glishman appeared, in the opinion of most of the spectators, to be too slight in build to make good the claims circulated in his be- half. In the first round, however, he showed that he was 8 skillful sparrer and that his opponent would have all he could do to hold his own with him. He excited the applause even of Clearys friends by the way in which he got in left handed body blows. In the second round both men seemed to grow more earnest and blows on either side fell fast and heavy while each showed disposition to close with his oppon- ent and transfer the friendly sparring set to into slugglng match. Captain Gunner and two sergeants had ascended the platform at the beginning of the match and warned the men to avoid slugging while they boxed. The police officers stood without the ropes ready to interfere the moment the game should appear to be growing too warm Mitchell won enthusiastic applause by his offensive and defensive movements In the third round Mi chell still held the advantage he had won over his opponent and towards the close he succeeded with one of his strong body blows in knocking Cleary of his pins. When he recovered his feet it was only to receive a second blow which would have knocked him not only of his feet, but of the platform also had not the ropes supported him. The men closed and for few moments the fighting was ex- tremely vigorous, but Captain Gunner sprang into the ring and separated the two men. They shook hands and bowed good night amid tremendous cheering. During the even ing there were about three thousand spseta- tors present, and among them was John l.. who watched the Mitchell -Cleary contest with especial interest.
