fought at 165 pounds, Sullivan ut 2O6. He
stood up through six rounds and was willing
to continue. There were not wanting per-
sons who decried the exhibition as
poor one. Sullivan did not
deliver one full blow. McCaffrey probably
aggregated as many hits as Sullivan. but
his lighter weight made him appear weak
in comparison with his antagonist. There
Is no question that the popular vote would
have been decidedly in his favor. While
the spectators We're generally well-behaved
there were several fights, and one that
caused a general stampede, but without
serious results. One of these contests took
place on the edge of the platform just after
the fight was over. 1t was between Nc
Caffrey's brother and Arthur Chambers
but as the rush of men to the spot broke
the platform edge down, the contest was
bloodlesS and brief.

clause about scientific points, and the agree
ment was closed upon the condition thus
Oyerruled. When the referee took his
place to-day. he did not ask for the agree
ment, nor did any one produce it.
The official manager states that it
was siX-round glove contest for the cham

rounds were ended. Mr.. MuldoOn, master Of
ceremonies. called on the referee for his de-
ciSiOn. The referee said, but i'm tone TO
be heard only by those nearest TO him on the
platform: II decide that all through the
contest Mr.. Sullivan has had the best of it.
Besides that on one OF two occasions, when
McCaifrey went down, he struck Sullivan
on the leg" Mr.. Muldoon then made the
public announcement that the referee gave
his decision in favor of Mr. Sullivan. lie
did not repeat the reasons for the decision.

The decision therefore seems to turn upon

Mr.. Sullivan would not agree. The gen

The whole matter of conditions is in mud

worse for wear this evening. Upon being
asked his opinion Of McCatfrey, he said:
