It was '9:55 when Hearld entered tina,

cree called time. Both men sprang light
ly forward and shook hands, giving the
crowd it's first opportunity to compare.
them closely. Sullivan weighed 2O5 pounds,
and Heard 185, but it was hands to be-
lieve that there was a difference Of: only
twenty pounds between them. The gloves,
fourounce, looked very small, and every
body felt that ii the intention was to- slug,

the apologies for hand covering worn by
the combatants. The ring attendants re-

not obstruct the view, as Sullivan and

THE FIGHT.
That it was to be business could be seen
in Sullivan'5 eye, that was flashed omin-
o,usly, while Hear]d's red head bobbed here
and there as the two SPARED for an open
ing.
First Roundabout were very cautious,
: but Sullivan evinced the most desire to
begin. He made several feints at Heard,
i: but the latter, 1.-the and active cat, got
away and danced around the big man in
an aggravating manner. Sullivan was evil
IDENTIFY getting mad but Hearld's face was
as expressionless as a whitewashed fence.
John could not stand it any longer and he
made one OF his'famous PUSHES and sent
fearful right-hander into Heard stomach.
Heard countered rapidly on the
chest, but got another one on the
the ring. But the Philadelphia was not to
be thrashed without struggle, and he
; was back again banging away at the cham
pion with but little effect certainly, but
with remarkably good Intentions and
Sullivan meant to knock out his man if he
;. could. The two fought for a minute and
= then clinched. There was some desperate
: in-tigh Ting, and Heard was forced over the
ropes. The referee cried, "Break away"
but there was no break away in the now
maddcned fighters, and amid the yelling Of
by their attendants and forced into their
; chairs. The time OF the round was two
and three-quarters minutes. HEARD shook
himself and laughed while being sponged
j and rubbed down. He did not look much
the worse for the rough handling he had
received. Sullivan was not hurt, but he
was very mad. He had evidently found
more powers of resistance in the Philadel.
phia boy than he expected.
Second Round-This round opened with
cautious sparring. Sullivan was wary,
and Herald little apprehersive OF the
giants mashes. This time Heard was the
attacking party. He had made up his
mind that he must fight and was determin-
ed to do his best. He tried to get at Sulli.
vans lace, but his blow was short. In an
Instant he was in. the embrace OF his an.
tasonist, who pounded him on the head,
face and neck with all the force OF his
brawny right arm, until Herald slipped
away and gave Sullivan a drive under the
eye that was the only clean blow he got in
on the champion. The latter seemed stag.
too surprised to do more than protect
himself from the blows that Heard was
showering on his guard. Then he gathered
himself for Il supreme effort, and with an
upper cut under the chin, sent Hearld fiat
on his back-A clean knock-down. Hearld
was up like flash and they clinched. The
fight had become mere rough and tumble
affair, and Heard slipped and fell again,
when the chief OF police and his officers rush.
ed in and with difficulty separated the men.
All was confusion. The pugilists were anx.
ious to 60 on, and if the officers had not
kept between them they would have fought
with the police on the stage. Sullivan
made a dash at the representative OF u
New York paper, and the latter reached
toward his pistol pocket but the police
disarmed him and forced Sullivan into
his chair. Referee Newell then declared
Sullivan the winner, while Hearld's backe,
protested that his man was still anxious
to fight.
Sullivan. after quiet was restored, ad.
dressed the press representatives, in which
he complimented Heard for his pluck,
boosted OF his own talents" and declared
himself still ready to defend his title Of
champion against all corners. It was the
opinion tonight that Heard made bet.
ter stand than Mccartney did at Cincinnati
The crowed dispersed and the pugilista
were driven to their hotels. Sullivan says
Hearld stands no show against him; that
having whipped Heard once he will pay no
more attention to him.
