WHAT THE SPORTING MEN, SAY.
The news that Sullivan and Greenfield had
actually been arrested caused CONSERVATION among
the sporting men, Later when IL came on, ' t%o
indignation waxed high and found expression In
much profane aud explosive language; c,,,. 1.
&" Wha: do think of IL repeated sullivan 10
the onery of a TRiBuNr reporter :" think its an
outrage and shame. Some fellow has got q grudge
against and is taking dirty mean way 70 sStie
it." and the champion sluGgers eye flashed ana his
fist clInched in a way that BODIED i'll for the man
who laid the information before i me Grand

for that was his duty if he thought we were rough
ing it too much but it's this Grand Jnry business
smuggling and it would have been all right II our
heads hadn't come together and drawed blood: !
don't think this thing Will stop sparilng eSn aDd
colleges the amateurs slug heap harder than we
do as anybody knows that's seen the New York
Athletic Club men at it. will spar PADDY Ryan

"Pat" Sheedy, the manager OF tuesday aHslr.
"The men were not violating the law and II they

III iTT Law any decent odds that the exhibition be-
tween Mitchell and Burke won't be stopped on
Monday night because they are both scien.lc I,ten
any exhibition when there's no smuggling"
"BiIy" Edwards said u think there Is .a good
of these exhibitions. There are no boys admitted
TO them, aud boys are not demoralized by them. l
think 1t is good deal better to encourage boxing
and then men will settle their difficulties with ma
lures weapons and not resort 10 pistols anu
1t was the opinion OF Harry mn, hichard q.
Fox, Colonel W. f. Harding and the lesser pugi-
jstic lights that some personal enmIty TO JOhn L
Sullivan was at the bottom of the Grand Jury pro-
ceedings. -. .
Sullivan goes to-day to Boston and will not return
to New-YOrk until the day for his trial. Green
field will stay hsre until he can get match on
with Mitchell or Burke. The gross receipts of the
house Tuesday night was 1852. The expenses
were $3,O17. Of the net proceeds sxty-hve per
cent goes TO Sullivan aud thirty-iiye per cent TO
with the small house, which they attribute to the
Law proceedings
