 NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-The glove contest which was to have taken place last night at Madison Square Garden and was postponed came off tonight in the presence of about six thousand people. After some sparring by local celebrities Sullivan and Greenfield appeared with their trainers and seconds and were greeted with great applause. Charley Johnson was chosen referee and w. E. Harding was appointed timekeeper for Greenfield and Ed. Hummer for Sullivan
 First round-Greenield led off with his left hand which landed lightly. Sullivan tried a straight counter which also fell wide of the mark. They then got back to long range and Greenfield again tried with his left which just reached his chest. Sullivan met him with 'tjab'' in the chest, but there was no force in the blow The latter again tried before getting back and this gave Greenfield the desired opening. He availed himself of it by swinging his right hand bravely Sullivan's ear. This seemed to surprise Sullivan and wake him up. He tried rush and counter, but failed to get home. Greenfield again nailed him on the jaw with his right. The blow flushed Sullivan's face and he then got in a little one. Greenfield let go both hands, his left landing on the nose and his right on the left eye. This brought on a clinch and as soon as they parted Sullivan essayed to score with his left, which fell short. Again they got together, Greenfield making play at the chest and for this liberty Sullivan pounded him the chest. Mutual exchanges took place, but no great damage was done. Greenfield hit short Sullivan now gathered himself and let go his right, which landed on the ribs He was met by Greenfelds left, which struck him square in the face. The men then took a breathing spell and Sullivan seemed distressed. Seeing this Greenfield once more made his lead at the face and caught hot counter on the ear for his temerity. Short armed work then ensued during which Greenfield was busy using both hands on the face. The exchanges which followed were fast. Sullivan shaped himself several times and tried his favorite right, but the distance was badly calculated and only once did he
 land them on the ear and then very light.
 His next was at the jaw, but the blow was
 weak. Greenfield was now in range and he
 scored twice, once with his left on the mouth
 and the other with his right on the nose-
 Before getting back he put in another little
 one on the mouth. Time was then called and the bout ended with Greenfield a little ahead.
 Second round-Sullivan led off at the cheek, but Greenfield jumped back and was

 sounder on the jaw and Sullivan was short
 on his return. Again Greenfield caught his antagonist with the right hand on the ear. Sullivan did not seem to be able to judge the distance and was short when he tried to counter. Several times referee warned Greenfield that he would disqualify him if he persisted in that meth cd. Greenfield always had the best of the hugs. Once he planted two good blows on Sullivan's face and ear and got back without return and as he got back he let fly his left, which reached the Bostonians nose. Sullivan was still very short. ] They spared for few seconds I when suddenly Greenfield planted his glove on Sullivan's jaw. This woke up the cham pion and he put in two scorchers on the rib | and the ear. They were heavy blows, but 1 the Englishman kept at Sullivan's face.
