souls to each square NILE, and more
rock than Jersey, has developed
greenhouse culture. The rails .ng Of
dollhouse grapes was started 30 years

saultlng John T. Sullivan. the actor. and the hus-
band OF Miss Rose COghlan came up again ycster-
day in the Jefferson Market Police Court Mr. Sulli-
van was still unable to appear. and his counsel
asked that the might be postponed. Mr.
Richardson's counsel wanted 1t to 80 at once.
but 1t decided to postpone It I'LL Friday Of next
week. Mr. Sullivan's condition does not seem 10 be
materially improved. An operation had to be per
formed on his nose a few days ago. and since then
he has been troubled with eryspelas. He has been
extremely weak and has not been able to SIT up In
several days. II was thought yesterday morning
that he might be able 10 go TO court In the after
noon. but when the time came his physician DR..
Harris did not think IL advisable for him % try
to go out. Last evening he seemed a little better
and Dr. Harris expressed the hope that he might
be able to act next week
At the theatres and among theatrical people gen
orally there IS great interest I'm the affair between
Mr.. Richardson and Mr.. Sullivan. Nobody forgets
for instant that Richardson IS about twice the
size OF the man whom he assaulted. and his action
is denounced as particularly cOwardly attack on
a who In a fair fight would be no match for
him. Some satisfaction Is expressed at the subse
quent encounter Of Richardson with Louis Massen.
"A OF about his size. who got decidedly the bet
OF the fight. and disappointment has been ex-
pressed that the quarrel which Richardson came
having with John l.. Sullivan ended before
blows struck.
