Mrs. Mason handed him little piece of white pa- per on which was written E'For President of the United States-Mrs. Belva Lockwood" i" Mrs. Mason then withdrew and the work of electioneering proceeded as usual.

 Rounds.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Madison Square Garden was filled tonight with an audience of fully seven thousand people to witness the four round glove contest, Marquis of Queens bury rules between John L. Sullivan, the champion, and Professor John H. Lafin, the athlete Many prominent sporting men as we'll as a number of brokers, bankers and merchants were present. After some prelim- 1 mary bouts by some local celebrities the stars of the evening came upon the platform Both of them were enthusiastical- | ly received and it was some minutes before order was restored Lafiin was dressed in white flannel drawers supported by a blue belt. Arthur Chambers and Billy Edwards looked after his wants, while Harry Edwards handled the bottles. Lafiin looked very stout and showed very lit tie muscular development and was apparent 1y nervous. Sullivan looked fit and his mus cles showed that he had undergone training, but there was lack of springiness in his movements and when he struck out his trip hammer-like blows lacked steam. He was esquired by Patsy Shepard and Tom Daley. Mike Mcdonald, of Chicago, was the referee. After the usual preliminaries time was call ed.
 Round 1-Laf1in sent out his left straight at Sullivan's nose, which surprised the latter greatly, as it was liberty he was not used to, but he soon re- covered and went at his adversary right and left, banging him in the jaw and ear; not heavily, however. Lafin put in two slight hits and the pair clinched. When they broke Sullivan let go both hands, catch ing Lafiin on the nose, drawing blood. A swinging crack on the ear sent him on his knees. Lalin looked frightened and lifted his hands in supplication. Ten sec onds is the time allowed to get up, but Laf1in took over half a minute to make up his mind to return to the attack and then it was in a timorous fashion. Sullivan hit out with both hands, but he did not seem to hurt Lalin. Laf1in was sent down several times, but brought about his own upsetting in more instances than one and did it to gain the ten seconds allowed by the law; he had all the worst of the bout
 Round 2-No sooner had the men toed the scratch than Sullivan sent out both hands, landing on the nose, face and ear. Laf1in countered on the ear and nose and then came some long range exchanges, in the midst of which Laf1in was sent down in heap. Sul- ivan hit him while on his knees and it took considerable persuasion to induce Lafin to get up. He finally got up and fought with Sullivan, catching him on the nose and face several times. Sullivan made play with both hands, but seemed to be getting I1oI against the ropes he put his hands down and Laflin rattled with both gloves, scoring many points, It looked as though Sullivan was whipped and had Lafiin been at all game he might have won the fight
 Round 3-This time Laflin shot out both hands and scored at the face and ear. Sullivan countered the jaw and Laflin went down very groggy. His next attempt saw him land on the ear, while Lafiin hit out at the face. Then there was a lot of the enchanting. From this out he seemed to get weak on his pins, while Sullivan recovered a little and knocked the New Yorker down repeatedly. Sullivan shaped himself for an effort and letting his right caught Lafiin on the point of the jaw, knocking him down. He was very groggy and practically "out'' when Edwards picked him up and carried him to his corner. Captain Williams stood ready, but did not interfere.
 Round ENo sooner had they put up their hands than Sullivan caught Laf1in on the jaw. This shook him, but he clinched and saved himself from falling When they broke away Sullivan put in two raps on Laf- in's face and jaw, making him sit down. When he resumed Lafin tried to make his lead and landed lightly, but he was too weak to do any damage. Sullivan was I little better off and his blows had no force whatever Once or twice Lafiin was l sent down, but his weak and groggy condi- | tion brought this about and when Sullivan caught him on the ear he was willing to go 1 to sleep. Williams then stopped the fight and the referee gave his award to Sullivan. Sullivan to Meet Paddy Ryan. NEW YORK, Nov. 10-A four round glove
