SULLIVAN AND RYAN.
THE CHAMPION FINDS HIS MATCH
The Contest al Madison Square Gar
den Terminated by the Police
A Close Fight.

New YcKK, Jan. l9.-Seyen thousand peo-
pie gained admission 10 Madison Square to-
night TO witness the much-talked-of glove
contest between Sullivan and Ryan. The
crowd being composed of men Of all grades
Of society. The first part of the program
was of the usual character, but the boxing
and wrestling of the lesser lights failed 10
excite much interest. Al quarter past ten a
loud yell proclaimed that the stars
of the evening were making their way TO
the platform. Sullivan was the first TO make
his appearance. he was dressed in flesh
colored drawers, green stockings and sleeve
less silk shirt, such as rowing men wear.
Paddy Ryan Immediately followed, was
stripped 10 the buff, wore white flannel knee
breeches and green stockings. Dan Murphy
and Pat Sheedy esquired Sullivan, while
Ned Mallahan and Jimmey Patterson per
formed a like Office for Ryan. The weights
given out were 1917 pounds for Ryan,
while Sullivan was given "a 2l2 pounds.
After some delay In the selection of a referee
John Scannell was agreed to. When all pre-
liminaries had been settled, Captain Viii
liams handed each man the gloves. They
weighed about four ounces. and were much
smaller than ordinary boxing gloves The
men then put up their hands. Sullivan led
off at the body with his left, but the blow fell
short, as Ryan jumped back. In stepping
into the distance again Ryan was
met by Sulivan's left glove, which
just reached his face, making slight
blow. The meeting brought them TO short
range. Ryan swung his right heavily into
the champions ear. Sullivan rallied quick
ly and made play at the face, landing
good, clean blow. Ryan again countered
twice, once on the neck, again on the ear.
Then came clinch, which was terminated
by Ryan getting Sullivan's head in
chancery and administering two heavy blows
on the Bostonian's S ribs. Then he broke away
and spared at long range for second or two,
when they came together again. This time
Sullivan made lead on the mouth. Ryan
putting IN a straight left-handed counter on
the chest and swinging the right on the ear.
Then he ratified away at short range. Ryan
getting the best of the exchanges, which were
all over the body and face. This close work
precipitated another clinch, and as they
stood hugging each other, Inspector Thorne
jumped on the stage and stopped the
fight. The contestants went to the corners
expecting to be allowed to resume the fight,
but the inspector was inexorable, and told
Capt. Williams to take the gloves away.
This was done and the crowd howled in dis
appointment. The referee said ne consid-
cred it no fight, but the popular verdict was
that Ryan had the call. There were NO
arrests.

There is mistaS en notion among philan-
thropc people in the East that the Indian
is n much abused person, who is entitled
to the lively sympathy OF mankind. Un-
questionably there have been plenty of in
stances of broken treaties and individual
and tribal wrongs; but looking at the
matter, not from the historical but from
the actual point OF view, it must be ad-
mitted that the aborigine on a reserva-
ton has more rights and privileges than a
white man enjoys. III could have the
privileges on this reservation, which the
Indian has said Ma jor Roman, the Indian
