DRAW IN EIGHT ROUNDS.
Alexander Greggains stopped the Mad
Rushs.s of Tom SlnrkeY.

San Francisco. March 13.-The much
taiked-of boxing contest bel ween Alexander
Greggains and Tom Sharkey, at the Bush
Street Theater last evening. ended in a
large draw. The referee was Ed. Hoeman.
Sharkey appeared at least fifteen pounds
heavier man than Greggains, but the
latter was some inches taller and more OF
an athlete in appearance. Up to the eighth
and last round but little hard fighting had
been done. They were evidently reserving
their strength for the final round, and
when time was called Sharkcy rushed like
a wild bull at his opponent, and, swinging
his right, he missed the fircman's head
and stumbled against a post.
Greggains WAS taken by surprise, but
met Sharkey as the latter settled himself
for another rush. ana some sharp infight
ing followeJ until the time keeper closed

Referee Hoeman declared that the men
We're so evenly matched that he could do

Jack Smith, OF Norfolk, Va. Billy Payne,

The following letter, which he received
from 7. II. Franklin, is likely to make him
a dangerous rival of Dan Stuart and the
National Sporting Club:
Il have for sale floating theater built
on very strong vessel hull, capable OF
seating 800 people: is fiji to go TO sea or
any point along the Atlantic coast: would
be just the thing to use for boxing
