RING AND SCULL.
Arrival Of Two Promising Aus.
tralian 0arSmen.
Reported Defeat of Critic by Billy Murphy,
Sullivan on Board ship-Billy Jor-
dan and His Bicycle

The steamer Alameda. which arrived yes
terday from Australia, brings the news that
Joe ChOynski defeated Owen Sullivan,
six-footer, in two rounds. The purse was
$500 and the agreement read that the
Yankee must stop the ex-Barrier cham
pion in eight rounds. The battle between
Ch0ynski and Goddard was fought after
he departure of the steamer. The general
opinion. however, is that the account of
ChOynskI's defeat in four rounds, as per
Cablegram, was correct. Goddard is now
looked upon by the sporting fraternity of
Australia as being their best represen tive
hea yy-weight pugilist. The crauks on box
ing admit that Jackson is the superior of
either of the two whites-that is, scientifi-
cally-but as formidable opponent, whose
hitting powers and gamy qualities are Sec
.ond to those of no man, Goddard is now king
OF the prize ring in the estimation OF large
number of Australian sporting men. The
conqueror of Choynski and other good men
is expected on the next steamer from the
Colonies.
BILLY MURPHY AGAIN.
When the Alameda arrived at Auckland,
one of its passengers states that wire had
been received from Sydney announcing the
defeat of Critic by Billy Murphy.
Freddy" Gallagher, the Denver middle
weight pngilist who is matched to fight
will go into training Monday next. 'Reddy"
is looking well and hopes that he will be
able TO give a good account of himself.

vices state that Professor Lush attempted to

to Auckland, and the captain, to preserve
decorum on board. had Sullivan locked up
until he got perfectly sober.
THE oARsMEN.
Among the arrivals on the Alameda were
c. Dutch and e. Stephenson, two Australian
oarsmen of some note. Although neither
belongs TO the frst-class order of scullers it
is intimated that race can be arranged be-
tween the former and Henry Peterson, the
champion of this Coast.
StaDsbury and Mclean met for the Sec
ond time on the Parramatta River July 9th
and the race was easily won by the former.
A Melbourne paper says: One thing is
plain. and that is that neither man could
have stretched old Bill Beach at his best,
while poor Harry Searle at his best would
have beaten either in paddle.
A CHANGE OF PLANS.
Young Mitchell will not go into training
for his fight with Freddy Gallagher as
soon as he had expected. Yesterday one of
his sisters died. which will cause somewhat
OF an alteration of his plans.
The match between Con Riordan and
1.-THE Terrible Swede," which will take
place at the Pacific Club this month, may
turn out TO be surprise to the talent. Re-
ports from Max FenDer's training quarters
state that Fenner's muscles are as hard as
pig-iron and that he can hit as hard blow
as Sullivan.
