livan, representing the latter. and E. A.
Plummer and w. II. Germaine at once
adjourned to room to arrange the
terms of the proposed fight. While
waiting for some agreement to be
reached the others discussed the chances
of the fight should it take place. Sulli-

not fully recovered from his illness, but
assert he will be as good as ever when
the time for the fight comes. He now

time ago. and his appetite is good. Kill
rains friends say that he will tire Sulli-
van out in the first five or six rounds
and
THEN WHIP HIM EASILY.
An agreement was reached in com.
paratively short time as to the main
conditions of the fight. Mr.. Harding
said that both parties agreed that the
fight should come off near New Orleans
on the Sth of July for purse of $4,000
the largest amount ever fought for
and the championship belt. Over this
last provision there was some wrang-
ling, but it was finally agreed upon by
both parties. Ten thousand dollars are
already up at the Clipper Office in New
York. An additional $1,000 will be put
| up in New York on the 18th of April.
The referee could not be fixed upon.
and it was agreed to appoint him at the
ring side. The final stakeholder is not
yet chosen. Harding, in behalf of Kill
rain, proposed John Scanlan, of New
York. The Sullivan faction wanted
George b. Engeman, the Clifton race
track owner. The Dwyer brothers were
also suggested. This point is yet to be
fixed. Mr.. Harding SAID that the pa
pers would probably not be signed in
Toronto through fear of the law. but
they would be signed in Hamilton or
some other Canadian town. Harding
will remain here for day or two. Sui
llyan and his party left on the 2:3
train this afternoon.
