monies, made a formal call for Nc
Csfrey, or for some friends to go after
him. A cheer was the response, and
carriage appeared with tine other con-
pstant. McCaffrey was received with
Tld outburstS of enthusiasm. he
.semed TO be in perfect physical condi- !
ton, and was attired the same as Sulll- |
van, except that his flesh c0lored tights !
we're encircled BY a maroon sash. Con- |
siderable time was spent in choosing q
referee. Conferences between Messrs. [
Lunt and o. Brien, McCatfrey's seconds,
and those of Sullivan, were held. VIM. |
Tate, Of Cleveland, Ohio, was called for, !
but he declined. Subsequently he re-
considered and accepted, and at 5.2l
the men shook hands.
The first round began amidst almost |
0reathlesS Stiffness. Mccartney made |
The first lead, but Sullivan stopped him
easily, and in the cautious work which |
followed, both succeeded In getting |
sight blows; Mccartney ducked to avoid |
a heavy blow, and as he arose struck |
wildly at Sullivan, and was pressed to
the ropes, where he fell to his knees. !
Rising, they clinched, Sullivan manag /
ng to give McCafrey a light blow Is
they did so. This was repeated aI3 the !
round closed.

minutes breathing spell. SulG-
van opened the fight this time,
BY q blow, which Mccartney
artfuNy eyadel. McGaffrey then made
4 fierce drive at Sullivan, which was
lodged gracefully, but McCafrey gave
MIN reSounding tap on the back of
the neck as he recovered, which started
a chorus of cheers. Another of the
same kind set McBaffrey's admirers
Wild; clinch then followed, Sullivan
getting in a blow on McCafrey. He
then pushed McCaffrey to the ropes, |
where danger seemed imminent, but
aeCatfrey slipped away, and the men
vent to their corners.

Mccartney. Hestruck out for Sullivan.
