The Prize-Fight Between Sullivan and Mitchell Results in a Draw. The much talked-of fight betwwen Sullivan and Mitjhell occurred on Baron Rothschild’s estate, at Creil, France, and resulted in a draw. Thirty-nine rounds were fought, Sullivan getting the first knock-down, and Mitchell the first blood. Both men were servo roly punished, but the reports agree Sullivan probably had the worst of it, for the reason that he stood tip and fought, while his opponent was dodging and falling to save himself. Tbs following particulars of the fi£ht we glean from the cable dispatches: Mitchell appeared to be in the better condition before the fight, the opinion being that Sullivan was overtrained. Tno tight began at 12:55, Mitchell winning the toss for corner and putting the sun and wind in Sullivan’s face. In the first round both contestants showed tbeir tactics. Mitchell’s aim was to avoid punishment and prolong the fight, in the hope of tiring out the American. Sullivan fought lor a knock-out in a few rounds. The betting at first was three to one offered on Sullivan,but toward the end of the fight the betting became even. In the first round Sullivan got home with two blows on Mitchell’s head, and receive a left-hander in the stomach in return. Mitchell soon dropped to avoid punishment, but in the second round was caught by Sullivan’s right on bis temple and went down. The third and fourth rounds were like the preceding one, Mitchell being knocked down at the close of each. It was evident at this time that Sullivan was surprised and disgusted. Up to the ninth round Sullivan forced the fighting and chased Mitchell around the ring, but could rarely get to close quarters. It became evident, however, in the sixth round, that Sullivan was suffering for lack of wind. Mitchell was gaining courage and taking advantage of his adversary's condition by occasionally getting in a blow. In the eighth round he was awarded first blood. During rounds nine to fifteen a fearful storm prevailed, and nearly all but the principals and their seconds took shelter in a shed. In one of these rounds, which lasted twenty-five minutes. Mitchell received several nasty blows, especially on the temple, but Sullivan was evidently tiring. He was shivering visibly, and his teeth were chattering from the downpour which he hod endured. By and by, however, the sun came out quite warm, and with its appearance Sullivan seemed to recover. At times he made tremendous rushes, but Mitchell’s agility stood him in good stead, and he milled on the retreat most of the time. The rest of the fight was tedious. The ground haa become soft, which made it hard work for both men. Sullivan grew tired of chasing Mitchell, and would stand in the middle of the ring while Mitchell walked around it. Mitchell seemed little hurt, and showed great generalship and scored the best, but he appeared to be afraid of Sullivan's right. A draw bad been suggested, but was declined, and between 4 and 6 o’clock all got impatient, as the finish seemed at least two hours off, though probably favorable to Mitchell. The latter at last said: “Well, lot us shake bauds or fight on, as John likes.” Hereupon Baldock, who had been very troublesome, rushed in and joined their hands. Sullivan was nothing loath, and both wero tired greatly. Sullivan's body, right eye, and mouth wero more punished than Mitchell’s, whno right eye and temple received the most damage. Mitchell and HulliVan were arrosted after the fight, with the whole party, by French gendarms. They were taken to Senlis. Here the rest of the party was dismissed, but Sullivan and Mitchell were locked up and held for two days, when they were released and left at race for London.
