P~ITTsRURaH, Sept. 20.-The Sullivan and
Herald sparring match took place Satur.
day night at 10 o'clock. The referee called
time. Both men sprang lightly forward
and shook hands, giving the audience their
first opportunity to compare them closely.
Sullivan weighed 205 pounds and Herald
1876, but it was hard to believe that there
was only q difference of 20 pounds between
them. The gloves, four ounces. looked
very small. and everybody felt that the in
tention was to slug. As the two SPARED
for an opening both were very cautious,
but Sullivan evinced the most desire to be-
gin. He made several feints at Herald,
but the latter, 1.-THE and active ~ q cat, got
away aud danced around the big man in q
most aggravating manner. Sullivan WAS
evidently getting mad, but Herald's face
was as expressioLless as q whitewashed
fence. john could not stand it any longer.
He made one of his famous rushes, and
sent a fearful ~right-hander into Herald's
stomach. Herald countered rapidly on the
chest, bat got another one on the nose that
sent him flying half across the ring. but
the Philadelphian was not there TO be
thrashed without q struggle, and he was
back again, banging away vt the champion
with but little effect certainly, but with re-
markedly good intentions. There was no
doubt now about the character OF the con-
test. Sullivan meant to knock out his man
if he could. The two fought wind for
perhaps a minute, and then clinched.
There was desperate fighting, and
Herald was forced over the ropes. The re-
fierce cried, Break away" but there was
no break away in the aforementioned fight
ers. and amid the yelling OF the crowd tho
pugilists were pulled apart by their attend
ants and forced into their chairs. The
time of the round WAS two and three
quarter minutes. Herald shook himself
and laughed while he was being sponged
and rubbed down. He did not look much
worse for the rough handling be had re-
ceived. Sullivan was not hurt, but he was
very mad. He had evidently found more
powers, of resistance in the Philadelphia
boy than he expected. The second round
opened with cautious sparring. Sullivan
was wary, and Herald was u little appre-
hensive of the giants rushes this time.
Herald was the attacking party. He had
made up his mind that he must fight.
Sullivan then got on his guard, and he
gathered himself for o supreme effort, and
with an upper cut on the chin he sent
Herald fat on his back-a clean knock
down. Herald was up like a flash, and
they clinched. The fight had become q
more rough.and-tumble. Herald slipped
and fell again. when the Chief of Police
and his officers rushed in. and with diff
Guilty separated them. All was confusion.
The pugilists we're both anxious to go on,
and If the officers had not kept between
them they would have fought with the po-
lice on the stage. Sullivan made a dash at
q representative Of a New York paper. and
the latter reached toward his pistol
pocket. but the police disarmed him and
forced Sullivan into his chair. Re-
fierce Newell then declared Sullivan
the winner, while Herald's hackers
protested that their man was still anxious
to fight. Sullivan then addressed the
press representatives. In which no com-
plimented Herald for his pluck. He
boosted OF his own " talent" aud declared
himself still ready to defend his title OF
champion against all corners. IL was his
opinion that Herald made a better stand
than McCaffrey did. The crowd dispersed,
and the pugilists were driven TO their
hotels. Sullivan says Herald stands no
show against him; that having whipped
Herald once he will pay no more atsen-
ton to him.
