CHAMPION Latterly 1t Is true, the crowds that afOre-
time hlled the immense building have been smaller

Sullivan staggered platform OF UPRIGHT
eous lntoxication. Despite this however. and
despite the s,ill greater shakngup OF that confidence
when their hero inglorously marched to a police
station AFTER scientifically maulng brother sugSer, It
was expected that the Of his intention to
meet his first noteworthy antagonist more would
restore the old time gores of the smuggling match"
That that expectation not unounded was apparent
| very early last evening. At o'clock immense
crowd already gathered around the entrance
Of the Garden and through the Interior
They continued surging for at least two hours by
which time the Garden fuller perhaps
than 1t has ever been an occasion

occasions. There the crowd OF INDECENT
blackgiards outside the OF benches within
filed with all sorts and conditions Of men the same
flock OF small boys without climbing up tho waerpipes
In vain attempts reach the roof and accompanying
skylights aud tho same crew OF :" sluggers" and
sports inside breathing imprecatlons against Judge
Barrett and HIS rules which have succeeded those OF the
"Markts" The atmosphere was, as usual, pcsferous-
only moro Not only could 1t have been cut like the
traditional London fog. but it could almost have been
used standing ground by those adventurous spirits
who had climbed up tho supports OF the roof into It's
MI !st.
