The Gladstone was filled to the doors
last night when Referee Tim Mccarthy
OF the Crib Club of Boston, announced
that there would be two fine exhibitions
OF scientific boxing between exponents
OF the manly ar: from Boston
and Providence. The first contest
was between Chauncey johnson OF Provi-
dence and Stonewall Allen of Boston. The
men fought six rounds and punched each
other as hard as they could, but the
gloves were too large to do any dam
age. The audience was well pleased
with the exhibition. The next bout was
for IL rounds, between Billy Hill of Bos-
ton and John A. Sullivan OF Providence.
Both men stripped at 130 pounds. For the
first five rounds the colored man
did all the leading. Both tried to keep as
far away from each other as they possibly
could, and they succeeded very well.
In the sixth and succeeding rounds
Sullivan commenced to do effective
work, and had he followed up
the colored man he might have succeeded
in knocking him out. At all times he
proved himself superior in scientific box
ing to his colored antagonist. At the END
of the IL rounds The referee declared the
fight draw. There is not q mark on
either OF the contestants.
