Fight.

New YORK, Aug. I7.-John L. Sulli-
van. accompanied by his manager and
e friend, strolled into the Terrace Gar
den cafe about O'Clock last night and
aat down near window. Sullivan be-
gan to amuse himself by throwing
dimes and nickels out OF the window to
boys in the street. The party had q
number OF drinks and Sullivan was
noisy in ordering the walters about.
Finally he became so boisterous that
Alexander Maisel, the head waiter,
came up and ssked him to be quiet.
Sullivan took offense at this, and ris-
ing from his seat, feinted at Maisel.
Maieel is q short, thick set man, weigh.
ing 200 pounds, and he struck out with
all his strength with hie left. He wears
a heavy gold ring on the little finger Of
that hand, and when be hit Sulivaa's
face, the ring drew blood under the ex.
champions left eye. Sullivan stepped
back a bit, and instantly his manager
and friends rose from their chairs
to stop the row, while num-
bers of diners in the cafe
crowded around to learn what it was all
about. Sullivan wanted to talk and
smooth things over with Maisel. Blood
was trickling down his cheek. Maisel
went off to another part of the roon
and Sullivan followed, Fostering Maissi
to shake hands. Masel would not do it
and he picked up stone beer mug and
told Sullivan to keep away or he would
brain him.
The affair sobered the drunken man
somewhat, and when ths proprietor
came Up with apologies and asked him
to GO upstairs to the concert, he con-
sented. He was taken into box on the
east side OF the gallery, where presently
the audience recognized him and began
to yell and cheer. Sullivan was very
much gratifed at this, and struggled to
his feet.
"Gentlsmen and ladies'" he shouted
thickly. "let the leader OF the orchestra
present himself"
At this point . waiter pulled him
back to his seat, but with struggle he
got on his feet again and went out.
"Well. Pm interfered with, and Pm
sorry / don't 60 on, but let the band
play Sweet Marie"
Then be dropped into bis chair and
shouted for whisky, but was soon
asleep. He walked up when Besuie
Thornton came out soon after, and sent
her two $5 bills by q waiter. He got
up and staggered down stairs again,
where he ordered more drinks. His
manager came up and spologized, and
then John L. npolegized, and after some
more drinks he was lifted into cab at
midnight and carried off.
But the end was not yet. John L. is
stopping at the Coleman house. He
reached there in company with his man.

in the bsrroom. Then be began to
blustsr. He invited ali hands to drink,
and no one responding, slang bis brown

lengs. Then no got up and thrashed
around. eursing all within sight. A
luokiess cabman got in his way and re-
ceived blow from aulliyan's "terrible
right" which landed him against the
bar with uncomfortable force.
1--WE known you for eight years, Mr..
Sullivan" said the cabman, land you
ought not to treat me that way"
Sullivan was literally running smuck
rev. He hit right and Loft without re-
gard to rsons. An unknown. man en-
tsfed ths door and was greeted with q
terrible swinging blow, which he

ran off. Finally "Nsd" Barker suc-
ceeded in leading him into tho hotel
entrance, where he swung out Of the
frcnf door to the sidewalk. A cabman
wanted to get him for faro, and sulli.
van immediately jnmpsd On to him.
There was rough and tumble fight in
which the cab man and ex-pugilist
banged each other right and left. The
cabanan fed and Barker took hand.
Then there wassa wrestling match in
which the big man. after three or four
minutes Of hard work, was thrown. He
fell heavily on the pavement and cut his
face. on the right side badly, the blood
flowing down his light euit. But the
fall aobsred him. He staggered to his
feet and exclaimed:
"Hsy, this is nice condition for me
to be In, Amt it? And me just etart-
ing up."
He looked st his blood. smeared hands
and let bis friends lead him into his
bed. No policeman appeared on the
| scene.
