Scenes In and Around nAadtaOn-SquaRe Gar
den ON Monday Night.
New York Sun.
Before o'clock the crowd had begun to gather
about the garden. Vendors with sliced water
melon, cent a slice, lemonade at three cents a
glass, roasted peanuts, chalk statues pictures
of all descriptions of Sullivan and Mitchell,
candies and icewater took possession of the
corners in the neighborhood and vigorously an
| nounced their goods.
The small boys were the first to arrive. They
took possession of the cutters, seated themselves
upon the curb-stones, and soon formed perfect
made raids on the peanut vendors, and all
shouted for BILLY and John.
Before the show began the crowd filed the
Streets and covered the stoops and ratings
The police were out in force Captain Williams,
presuming correctly that the crowd around the
garden would be greater than ever before, sta
toned half dozen or more of his sturdiest men
on each Of the four sides of the square The
men buttoned their blouses close and twisted
the straps of their long night sticks tightly
around their wrists, and in the five hours they
were on duty got very little breathing time.
The. crowd at first were orderly and well be-
haved, but as they increased in numbers they
became more boisterous and as the sidewalks
and the middle of the streets became packed
the police felt obliged to keep the dense throng
moving. They accomplished this by making
sudden rushes, brandshing their clubs high in
the air, and yelling, Move onl" Each time the
| police charged the crowd did their best to scat
| ter and nmove on but found it hard work
They fell over one another down stoops, into
area-ways and under the wheels of vehicles, yell
| ing frantically all the time.
The long line Of ticket buyers at the Madison
avenue door was frequently broken by the
| stampeding mobs, and many a swell was pre-
| vented from buying his 81 ticket by these FREE
| quent breaks in the line Shortly after o'clock
coach drawn by bay and white horse
| dashed up Fourth avenue into Twenty sixth
| street, scattering the crowd all sides, and
pulled up at Madison avenue. As a muscular
| looking man In business suit and high hat
| jumped out on the sidewalk, followed by Pete
Mccoy, some one yelled, There goes SULLIVAN
and the cry was caught up by thousand Threats,
! and the mob with one accord made a rush for
the corner to see. The police massed themselves
to Withstand the crowd, yelled themselves
| hoarse, and used their clubs vigorously before
| the crowd scattered At about the same time
Mitchell arrived at the Garden, but his arrival
was almost unnoticed by the crowd until he had
got inside the building and then yells for Mitch
ell alternated with loud cries for Sullivan.
There came loud cheer from inside the build
ing and then the crowd became frantic. The
| small boys and many men seized long boards
| in an adjoining street. with them into TWEEN
| ty-sixth street. and, while the police were en-
gagged in driving the crowd at Fourth avenue,
showed their boards up to the lower and smaller
circular windows of the Garden, and conducted
the enterprise Of free entry with varying sue
cess
While this was going on there came crash
from down the street nearer Fourth avenue and
the police found that one of the double doors
had been forced open by the crowd, who were
pouring insloe; OiuDs were USED VIII VlsoI,
thrown down, and the crowd finally scattered.
