Match fer Sullivan.

Several members Of the boxing clubs were seen
last evening by reporter, 10 whom they ex-
pressed their opinions freely regards the
meeting between jackson and Smith and the
probable outcome Of a contest between Sullivan
ana Jackson.
With the exception OF two or three who thought
thar Jackson was completely out OF form when
he faced Smith, the others spoken TO firmly be-
heyed that Jackson would not stand the ghost OF
show against Sullivan With both puglllsIs in
good condition. Said one old sport:
jackson Is unQuestiOnably clever man who
strikes terror into tie hearts of his opponents in
the INST round Of Hsht, and any mau who has
not firm heart is sure TO 60 TO pieces after The
round Is over. Smith, according TO accounts,
was on the verge of quitting before he had faced
the colored man round. and had it not been for
lis second and adviser the Denver man would
have been recognized as gutter to-day.
