CHARLEY MITCHELL VISITS
THE ONCE MIGHTY JOHN l.
Former Gladiators of the Ring Meet
and Discuss Fighters and Battles
of Other Days.

BOSTON. April Sin the home of
Mrs. Lannon, at Rocks Ferry, to-day,
two of the greatest pugilistic cham
pions of their day met in a friendly
way. The heroes of the roped arena
and bitter antagonists of other days
who received each other in most
cordial manner were John L. Sullivan,
the former champion of all glove cham
pions, and Charley" Mitchell, the best
boxer that ever represented Great Brit
ain in the prize ring.
Mitchell was visiting The pugilist,
Mrs. Lannon's home beirg the present
residence of her brother, the once
mighty John L. The occasion of Mitch
ellis visit was one of kindly interest in
man whom he fought in America
and also in Chantilly, France, for pre-
mier pugilistic honors. The former
champion of the Old World had been
informed that the health of Sullivan
was in precarious condition and that
he needed financial assistance. Wish
ing to show his old opponent that he
bore him no ill-will and to declare his
intention to go any length to alleviate
any possible suffering on Sulivan's part,
Mitchell placed himself az the service
of John l..
Sullivan, whose physical condition
has undergone a decided change for the
better within the last two days, ex-
pressed his thanks to the Britisher and
welcomed him warmly. Mitchell said
he was pleasantly surprised to see the
old-time idol of pugilistic followers
looking so well. For the first time in
several weeks. Sullivan was able to be
about the house yesterday and received
Mitchell in the parlor of his sister,
home, where the two great pugilists
discussed fighters and ring battles of
other days.

MISS MILLER. THE POLO PONY,

Handicap to Honiton,
Driving, From
Gateway.

The handicap, or any Of the other
features OF the card at Oakland track
yesterday were not a marker TO the
amusement furnished by the special
for polo ponies at a quarter Of mile
The starters were Silver Dick. Becky
and Miss Miller, each carrying ll5
pounds and with a professional rider
in the saddle.
without exaggeration Miss Miller is
the tartest piece Of equine hardware
passed over the counter in many day.
Duke Of Milpitas and all Of those old
time bad actors pale into insignificance
when compared with her. Thirty five
minutes were consumed at the post,
during which time Jake Hoffman,
three assistants. the recall flag. the
stand messenger and the judges bell
were called into requisition before a
start was accomplished. Miss Miller
once dumped Sherwood from her back,
and did everything else but bolt the
outer fence.
During the festivities attendant on
getting her away, Spencer, who rode
Silver Dick. was fined 500 for break
ing up a start. and Powell. the rider of
Becky. got 500 for a similar offense.
Finally Silver Dick, which ruled a 3

the others TO a fair start and Won as
he pleased in 25iz seconds. Becky lost
the place TO Miss Miller by less than u
length.
