No Decision in the Sullivan"M cCaflrey
Case.-Sull,van Receives so Per Cent
Of the Gate Money.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 81.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 81.
McCafrey and his hacker have entered
protest against the proceeds of the last match
going 10 ulliyan on the ground that the
referee has not made a decision. Referee
Tate has been sent for. On Saturday night
after reaching the city Tate said publicly TO a
number of persons that he had rendered no
decision. McCstirey's backer claims that
the fight should at least be declared draw.
McCafirey claims that he is not bound to
take notice of the counter challenge of Sui
ivan's mentioned in last nights dispatches,
until after Sullivan replies to his challenge
OF Saturday by covering his deposit for gate
money. Besides he thinks the man who
made the challenge was not authorized TO do
so by Sullivan. The principles are both
here yet, and will await the decision of the
question as to the disposal of the gate money.
Gen. Campbell, lessee of Chester Park,
who had the gate money sn custody, decided
this afternoon to make no further trouble for
himself by holding the money, but to pay
over Sullivsn's share and let McCafirey make
good his claims to part of it in court if he
chose to, He therefore paid 70 John L. Sui
hvan S., ,6S4 60 as his 60 per cent of the gate
money. The difficulties in the way of get
ting the decision changed by going to law
are SO great it is not likely that it will be
undertaken.

result of the contest has not yet been rem
dered by HIM further than that contained in
his expressed opinion that so far as the fight
ing was concerned Sullivan had the best of
it. Tate has not yet seen the articles of
agreement, but SAYS McCaffrey's hackers are
expected here tonight with copy of the ar
ticles and no further action will be taken in
the matter until they arrive.
John +. Kennedy, representative of Nc
Caffrey, arrived here tonight and had an in
terview with referee Tate relative to the de-
clsion by that official concerning the fight.
The result is that elegrams have been sent
to the stakeholder to come here with the
original articles of agreement and to Sullivan
TO send representative. On their arriv al
consultation will be held with view of set
til ment of the disputed points and the pro-
mitigation OF the final d. cison by the referee.

ing over the back in two long ends is a wide
sash of black MORE. The small visite- shaped
wrap is covered with lace; the sleeves
form par5 OF the back along the upper
arm, and contract SO as to join toward
the wrist; the back is half adjusted, and
terminates in basque with round pleats,
while the front forms square tabs having
fiat double pleats that extend from top to
bottom, and are studded at regular inter
walls from the belt to the lower edge with
macaroons in pomegranate and black pas
sementerie; the collar, cuffs, and belt, which
crosses the basque part of the wrap on the
outside, are of passementerie, and along the
sleeve and shoulder seams are double rows
of pomegranate drop trimming, while at
the lower edge of the basque the silk is pro-
longed two inches beyond the lace outside
covering, and passementerie drop fringe
of the same depth is set upon it. So pro-
nounced is the favor shown to all open-worle
