 NEW YORK, May 26.-Quite sensation was caused in uptown sporting circles to-day by the sudden and unexpected appearance in this city of the great American ''Knocker-out' John L. Sullivan with his entire troupe. The occasion for this unexpected visit of Sullivan WAS on account of his erroneous belief that Charles Mitchell, the English champion, was billed to box tonight with Mike Cleary and his desire to witness the set-to in view of 8 possible match being made between himself Bad the winner. Sullivan on his arrival to- gether with his troupe consisting of Messrs Steve Taylor, Pete McQoy, FIorie Barnett, Mike Gillespie, Mike D Donovan, Fred Moran, J. Munzenger, Hugh Coyle, his treasurer, and Al Smith, his packer and manager, were driven to the Ashland House where Charlie Mitchell, Charlie Rowell, Tom Davis, Pete Duryea, Billy Madden and numerous other sporting notabilities who happened to be there welcomed his arrival. An adjournment
 was at ones made to private room where after again engaging in handskaking all round and other interchanges of courtesy Sullivan inquired at what hour the contest between Mitchell and Cleary
 was to come of. He was in formed that the match would not take place uutil July 2I. At this he expressed himself aa considerably surprised and dis appointed, saying he had come from Toledo,
 O., only for the purpose of witnessing the
 fight and making match with the winner.
 He expressed himself as being much disgu st. ed at having made sueh g foolish nistak e,
 but said he was willing to make match there
 and then with Mitchell, who he had been given to understand was anxious to meet him
 again. Mitchell had few minutes before
 this left the room, but at this point again re- entered and was informed by Billy Madden Of Sullivan's propositlcn. Mit6heH at once re- piled that he was willing to give Sullivan an-
 other go on any tair and reasonable terms. Sullivan stood up and stretching ont his hand to Mitchell said: s'Charlie, now tell you in the presence of the gentlemen here that yop are the best man that I ovsx h4t dn the
 gloves with sau or stosa pg .n1 sgainas st give you another chance; especially as you appear to have grown bigger since our last contest" "~ Mitchell appeared to size Sullivan up and with a smile replied: 'I m willing. Name your terms and l may say
 that you don't seem to have got any
 smaller.a' ssNo Charlie" raplied Sullivan, 'I'm getting bigger all the time and now | wsigh 227 pounds and tell you that the l next time we meet will lick you" s1s that so?'' replied Mitchell. 'It will be ! the funniest licking that you ever saw," and he ahowed his white teeth as he gave pleas l ant smile. e'I shall be there" ''Yes, added
 Sullivan, .sand after have licked yon Ihope | we shall shake hands again as friends. and at my benefit at Rqston.'' .'IlI do it, rs- piled Mitchell. "Whether you beat me or I
 beat you, I am not afraid, and hope there will be no hard feelings between us. ''None l whatever," said Sullivan" all want is fair 1 play" The two pugiIists again shook hands
 and drank. ..NoY. saia Mitebeil, .'te hasinssa l On WThak fernGa shslI we spar2" s'Marauis of i Queensbugy rules" answered Sullivan. "All I right, "said Mitchell, ethe winner to take two thirds and the loser one-third. A match I was made on these terms and Madison Square Garden viil probably be engaged for the COZ l tegt. Sullivan in conversation afterwards said that after sparring Mitchell he would give l the best men in the country chance to knock him out. During the fall he intends l to visit Europe with his packer. Sulhsan left by the o'clock train for Boston to visit ! his wife and new born babe, ths latter hay . late tour. ss-.&
