SULLIVAN AND RYAN.

The clouds of misunderstanding and doubt
between Sullivan and Ryan were finally dis
PEELED on Wednesday last by the signing of
the articles of agreement. The principals
came together in the afternoon of that day in
New York. Sullivan was in splendid condi-
ton, as sober as any judge could be, and his
clear skin and appearance seemed to contra
dict the stories told about his heavy drinking.
Paddy Ryan did not look so much like a
fighter as Sullivan did, but he looked very
fine, too. The coming fight was mentioned
In the articles as a fair, stand-up exhibition
with small gloves, according to the new rules
of the London ring, the said exhibition to be
for the sum of 81, 500 "a subscribed purse),
the diamond belt and the cham pionship of
the world; the winner to receive in addition
two-thirds of all excursion money and the
loser one-third.
The fight will occur on the 10th Of June,
at place to be chosen by the principals, or
by the donor of the belt in case they should
fail to agree on location. Both men must
appear in the ring between and 10 q. M,
and Harry Hill will hold the stakes until the
winner is named. Sullivan weighed to-day
232 pounds, and Ryan two pounds less.
They will fight at catch weights, and sport
ing men predict rafting fight.
Sullivan laughed when he was asked about
fighting Mccartney. ''I'll fight him any
where" he said, whenever I've got time
If he wants to come out when 1 fight RYAN,
I'll give him show, and fight him an hour
after I'm through with the first fight, whether
1 win or lose. Mccartney isn't near as good
a man as MITCHELL aud it's foolish for any
man of sense to talk of knocking me out,
with difference Of sixty or seventy pounds
between u.s."
BENEFIT FOR Goss' WIDOW.
n. Y. Clipper
Those who knew the late Joe Goss will not
be surprised TO learn that his widow has been
left In necessitous circum stances The open
handed nature of the man readily accounts
for this. We feel sure that his many friends
will be glad Of an opportunity to contribute
their mite. This opportunity will be afforded
on the evening of Friday, April "a, when an
entertainment will be given at Madison
Square garden, this city, for her benefit. It
viii be under the auspices of Billy Edwards
and Arthur Chambers, who will give the clos
ing set-to on the occasion, while Prof. J. N.
Latin will stand ready to spar anyone three
rounds, scientific points to decide. This
gives a desirable chance for Charley Mitchell,
ALT Greenfield and Jack Burke to 'stack up''
against clever man, and they ought not TO
hesitate about lending their aid to the cause
Those who are willing to appear are requested
to send their names to William Edwards at
the Clipper office.

No word has IS yet been received in reply
to the articles Of agreement sent on for sig-
nature in the Thompson-Wilson match. Il
is supposed that Forbes, Tbompson's hacker,
is in attendance upon the Buffalo races, but
II does seem that several kilograms sent TO
him at his home in Cleveland should have
been answered ere this. There is bare
possibility, however. that Thompson Is not
anxious 10 come TO time As the most Of
his work heretofore has been confined TO
newspaper paIzyer, there Is ground for the
suspicion that the proposed match Is noihing
more than boom for s cheap reputation
