The attendance at the Tivoli Saturday
evening 10 see the sparring exhibition by
members of the Maynard & Mitchell COM
bination was light, and so was the perform
ance which was of the " slap and-tap' or
der, with a great many motions and pre-
tended blows to indicate that the contest
ants could almost annihilate each other if
they deemed il advisable to take the brakes
of. The audience were pleased with
Mitchells build and general style as
sparrer, though his bout with Maynard
could scarcely be taken as fair specimen
of his ability. He is active, hard-hitter
and lodges well. The combination left for
San Francisco yesterday morning. Mitchell,
in conversation Saturday evening, stated
that he was born in England, but of Irish
parentage; his father is a native of county
Wexford, Ireland; a physician with large
practice. Charles studied medicine for
some time, but finally gave it up.
At college he succeeded in winning
years, never having been worsted.
He said " / like fighting not of choice,
but as business proposition. ! am not a
sparrer am too slow for that; | make no
claim to being rapid, but | fight all the
time. John l.. Sullivan is a rapid fighter
n rush fighter. There is not much love be-
tween John l.. Sullivan and myself /
would have beaten him in our first fight in
New ork had not Captain Williams inter
fered. Q! course they would not let a little
fellow ike me-a stranger here-win,
having just landed from England" When
asked who he regarded as the most scien-
the lighter as between Sullivan and the
old-ciass, such as Coburn, Mace and
al hn id
John L., of course" His attention being
called TO dispatch in the REcoRD-U MON
OF Saturday morning. 1t being an extract
from q letter written by Mitchell TO Richard
X. Fox, of New York, offering to fight any
man in the world Sullivan preferred. he
merely nodded his head, neither affirming
or denying the truth OF the telegram.
Mitchell has been rendered engagements
with dramatic and minstrel organizations
East, and will probably join some combi-
nation shortly. He is quite a good CONVEX
sationalist, plays the piano and sings
nicely, and also speaks several languages.
He is a man of good appearance, and not
given te carousing and dissipation.
