The suIIIvan-acCanrey Contest.
CINCINNATI, O., August 31.-ihere has
been a halt called in the negotiations for
closing up the business portion of the Sui
livan-McCaffr ccntest The money lies
in a safe here, and McCsffrey sud bis
hackers have entered a protest against it
going to Sullivan On the ground thst the
referee has not mad his decision. Ref
cree Tate has been sept for to come here
and make q deci iop, and until that is done
the money will remain in the safe. II is
true, as stated in these dispatches, that
the referee did not see the articles of sgree-
ment, and that he did not pub icly render
any decision. What he said on the plat
foim was addressed to Muldoon, master Of
ceremonies, in sDops TO that gentle
mans question, "What do you think OF
this fight ?" and Muldoon thea made the
public announcement that the referee de-
cided in favor OF Sullivan.
On Saturday night, after reaching the
city, Tate said publicly 10 q number of
people that he had rendered no decision,
and that was repeated in a dispatch fr,m
Toledo. McCaffrey's hacker, Billy O'Briep,
claims that it should at least be declared a
draw. The conditions, which have never
been formally published nor accurately
stated, are in the form of an agreement.

the end of six rounds, unless one had FOL
before that time, and that they must

who made the challenge is not authorized
to do so by Sullivan. The principals are
both here yet, and will await the decision

George sCampbell, lessee OF Chester

getting the decision charged by going to
law are so great that it is not likely that it
will be undertaken.
