SUMMARIES
SULLIVAN-KILRAIN MATCH.
The Two Ex-Champions Spar Before
a Big House at kernan's

u
The interesting attraction promised in
sparring contest between John l.. Sullivan
and Jake Kilrain brought big audience
to Kernan's last night. The men did not
make their appearance until the remain
der of the bill had been finished, when
they were introduced informally by Com
edian Begley, of the company. Sullivan
wore his familiar suit of green tights and
looked very much as he did before Cor
bett and the hand of fate united in knock
ing him out at New Orleans. Both he and
Kilrain were given emphatic ovations.
The sparring that followed was divided
into three fifty-second rounds that were
always more interesting than lively.
While both men went at each other nobly,
the effect of time and want of training
was plainly visible. Kilrain seemed more
agile than his opponent, though Sullivan
was apparently the more powerful of the
two. Toward the close of the third round
he landed a blow on his sparring partner
that caused Kilrain to stumble and fall
just as time was called. The entire eXhi-
bition was enjoyable and was vociferously
applauded The sight of two such men in
friendly opposition is one that brings
pleasurable "reminiscences and in itself
proves interesting. There is no doubt that
a little time will make the team a thor
oughly capable one. The sparring match
will be repeated every evening during the
remainder of the engagement here

o'RoURKE Is PFRTURBED,
He Says Fftzsimmons Wishes to
Avoid Meeting Sharkey.


New York, Aug. 25.-Tom o'Rourke is
much disturbed over the fact that Bob
Fitzsimmons has gone on record py de-
claring that he will not box before any
club controlled by O'Rourke. He says
this is only fiimsy excuse OF the cham
pion to avoid a meeting with Sharkey.
ORourke informed reporter that if
Fitzsimmons will agree to box Sharkey at
the Lenox Athletic Club he will give a
purse of $4,000 and allow any fair-minded
man in New York to act as referee. Shar-
key will not face Fitzsimmons for an out
side stake as the law prohibits such pro-
ceedings, but O'Rourke will wager any
amount IN personal bets. O'Rourke. in
conclusion, thinks that Fitzsimmons has
no occasion to refuse this offer
Tom also says that If FTtzsimmons does
not like to meet the ex-sailor at the Lem
OK Sharkey will consent to meet Fitzsim-
mons anywhere else, provided, of course,
the club is a reliable and trustworthy
one.

CRAP GAME ROW.

Last Sunday a row occurred dur
ing negro crap game and ball at
Montgomery's pavilion, about six
miles north of Pearl River Station in
which a number of shots were fired,
and several of the negroes were
seriously wounded. Sheriff Stro-
BILE left promptly for the scene,
and with large posse of deputies,
endeavored to capture the guilty
parties. He found the leader of
gang in the swamps badly wounded,
and sent him to the Charity Hos
pital. Another was captured but
made his escape. Some of the
negroes had placed crossties on the
track of the Northeastern Railroad,
presumably for the purpose of
wrecklng and robbing the train.
There were about ten of them,
who are thought to have come from
New Orleans. During Saturday
they held up and robbed num-
Der of colored railroad hands, and
secured several hundred dollars.
