Adam FOrepaugh, whose fame as an
amusement purveyor is as wide as the con-
tinent itself, will be in ST. Paul to-day
with the greatest aggregation of tented at
fractions that he has ever been identified

stringency of the times, Manager FUrepaugh
is said TO be doing a larger average business

A Chicago journalist describes this sin
gular encounter as follows:
''Addie' came in the ring first. Sullivan
took his corner a moment after. There was
not spare ounce of flesh on his body, and
he looked as calm and collected as the hard
hitter for whom he is named could possibly do.

The contestants were sitting in chairs op-
posite each other when the magic word was
spoken They came to short range at once,
but IL was soon seen that Sullivan's one
glove, securely fitted to the end of his trunk,
was as effectual as the two on the fists of his
brawny opponent After little cautious
sparring ''Addie'' led OF with his right, land
ing il squarely above Sullivan's eye. Sulli-
