the instance of Sullivan. IL also
shows that the gloves were to be
agreed upon at the time OF the meet
ing, but this was stricken out at Sulli-
vau's suggestion and "three ounce

with the clause scientific points to

would make IL draw at the end of
six rounds unless one had won be-
fore that time, and that they must
either so decide IL or go on to
finish. McCailrey wanted to finish at
the end of the sixth round. but Sulli-
van declined as the decision was made
in his favor. McCatlrcy claims that
he is not bound to take notice of the
counter challenge OF Sullivan, men,

after Sullivan replies TO his of Satur-
day, by covering his deposit of forfeit
money. Besides" he says, "the man
who made the challenge is not au-

principals are both here yet and will
