HAS GONE TO A NEW FIELD. Tlio Manager of the Globe Mutual Life Insurance Association Disappears, Leaving Some Had Stories Behind—How the AlTairs of the Association Were Managed by Marcus E. Frazier. The absence from the city of Marcus E. Frazier, secretary and manager of the Globe Mutual Assessment Life Association, is attributed to a desire on hi3 part to attend to official business elsewhere. “A few days ago," says C. D. Thompson, an attorney, and once book keeper of the association, ‘Mr. Frazier went to Hornady's stable, where ho kept his horse and buggy, saying he intended to take a drive. With his somewhat costly turnout he left the stable, but did not return that night. The next day Ilornadv received a note from him Baying that ho was called away by urgent business. ” “Where is the gentleman now?’ “I can’t say; his father-in-law, Dr. F. M. Packer, says he and his wife have gone to Des Moines, la., but I went up to No. 107 North New Jersey street this afternoon with Constable riummer to attach his household goods, and the lady from whom he rented rooms said ho was at Hot Springs. We got there just in time, for the goods were being packed up for shipment.” “Evidently Mr. Frazier has gone to stay.” “It looks like it; and moro so since in rooms 36 and 38, Thorpo Block, where the Globe Mutual Assessment Life Association’s offices were, we found nothing of value. The books, vouchers and papers of the least account had been removed, but where nobody knows.” This recital of Mr. Thompson’s search for Frazier's effects was suggested by the suit brought yesterday, in ’Squire Smock’s court, by S. M. Bruce, attorney and treasurer of the association. He sued Secretary Frazier for $175 attorney’s fees. Mr. Thompson said that the Globe first did business in Anderson, in 1882, but Frazier could not get along with the other officers and he came to this city the next year, when he organized the company here referred to. Dr. S. M. Packer was president, S. M. Bruce the treasurer, and Frazier the secretary. The other directors were Frazier’s father and Isaac N. Baldwin. But to the secretary was left thefcntire management of affairs, and none of the othor gentlemen were cognizant of his alleged reckless handling of funds until lately. “There were three departments in the Globe, and the policies represented values from SI,OOO to $0,000,” sai.l Mr. Thompson. “These were the junior, senior and guarantee funds. In the first, youths were issued policies, and each member of the latter paid so much each month. If a death occurred in that class during the month tho amount received in that time was paid to the beneficiary. The payments were from $1.50 to $3.50 from each member. If there was no death, the money was kept by Frazier. If there were two, three or four deaths, the amount paid in was divided .among the beneficiaries. In the other classes an admission fee was charged, which the agent generally got, and in addition there were dues of $2 per year for each member, which went to Frazier. If a death occurred, an assessment was made, and the beneficiaries of the insurance expected to get, and were entitled to, whatever that assessment would bring. Frazier, however, would delay payment, giving this and that excuse until the claimants tired of the matter, and would be glad to compromise for any amount equal to or above that which had been paid in. There were about 400 paying members, so you see this scheme of compromising gave Frazier a good profit He sometimes tried the wrong parties. A man named Bingen, of Muneie, died, and his beneficiaries asked for payment on his certificate of membership. Frazier told them that he could pay them but $l3O. They secured an attorney, who came after the secretary and compcllod him to turn over the full amount, S4OO. Once there was a membership of 2,000, but when it was discovered that instead of SI,OOO. $2,000 or SO,OOO amounts, only a few hundreds were paid on certificates, they began to drop off. At Vincennes one of the insured died and his friends got nothing. Other instances of tho kind occurred at Hartford City, Muneie, Rockville, this State, and at Mount Vernon and Mount Carmel, 111. I myself once settled a $6,000 policy for S3O. Generally, if a man got the money he paid in he was satisfied. Another instance: J. H. Hammond of Washington, N. C., died, and the amount due on his certificate of membership was payable to his children. On this assessment S3OB was collected, but Frazier went down there and told the heirs that only $203.40 had been paid in. They would not compromise for that or any sum less than S4OO —the amount to which they wero entitled. Suit was brought, and on order of court Frazier was required to answer under oath and to show books and papers as to the product of the assessment. The S4OO was paid over to the children. Altogether Frasier made $12,000 or more out of his compromise operations. Os this ho dropped $4,000 in a vinegar factory, which has appeared in * litigation during tho last few weeks. Frazier’s interest in that has also been attached, lie is the same gentleman who figured conspicuously in the barometer scheme, and among his effects at No. 107 North New Jersey street, this afternoon, was found a lot of circulars relating to that business. Frazier is not likely to return to tho city. The other gentlemen of the association went into the enterprise in good faith and with honest purposes, but they left tho whole management to Frazier, who made his thousands a*d lived hieh. He is about twentyeight years of age, and was married only last June.” Injured I.y an Explosion of Powder. Three young street Arabs named Willie Tanner, Walter Ross and John Kimberlain, yesterday stole a small can of powder from the grocery store of George Hammel, on North Alabama street, and carried it up the alley, in the rear of Roberts Park Church. Jn firing the powder, the explosion,which was as loud as the report of a cannon, resulted quite disastrously to tho boys, burning very badly the face, eyes and hands of Tanner, lacerating the face aud singeing tho hair of Kimberlain, and mangling the hands and arms of Ross. Dr. Houghton was called to attend young Tanner, who is badly hurt, but will recover. Tho injuries of the two other boys will bo some time in healing. Tanner is the same youth who was, about a week since, given by Judge Clark the alternative of either going to tho House of Refuge or leaving tho State. Ouly a Slight linference. Yesterday Mr. Berhamer was meditating on the possibilities of a search after the nomination for mayor when a Journal reporter asked him in regard to signs and conditions of canvassing Mr. John P. Frenzel for his support. “Oh Frenzel and I have settled our littlo matter,” replied the good-natured Bernhamer. “Hon?” “I knew John in 'SB when we were boys fishing for tadpoles together. There is only a slight difference between us. Ilis father had a little saloon and sold whisky with beer as as incidental supply. My father kept a little saloon and sold with whisky as an incidental supply. John and I understand each other, you may bo sure.” Treasurer Miller’s liout). The County Commissioners yesterday had t*n sureties on Hiram Miller's bond as county treasurer before them to acknowledge their signatures. It seems that there is some feeling about this proceeding, Mr, Miller's

fr ends saying that bonds of his predo cessors have been approved without this formal acknowledgment from signers. The commissioners say that because tho law has been neglected heretofore it is no reason why it should, be now. The statutes require that signers of bonds for county officials must make personal acknowledgement of their signatures before the commissioners. All of Mr. Miller's sureties but one fulfilled this reoiirSuient yesterday. John Johnson was the one absent, but his acknowledgment will be taken next week. The bond is virtually approved. PRACTICING PUGILISM. An Actress Training to Play the Part of Mrs. Slugger Sullivan. “Is this Professor Rooke?” inquired a Journal reporter, as tho oak opened a couple of inches, disclosing an athletic person in a striped bathing suit and profuse prespiration. “It is,” was the answer, “but I’m instructing a pupil and will not be at leisure for fifteen or twenty minutes.” The reporter returned at the end of a half hour and was admitted. Professor Rooke is a somewhat noted prize fighter and is now giving boxing lessons in this city. “I would have admitted you but for the singular fact that my pupil was a lady, and objected. She ’andles her ’ands right clevorly,” continued the professor, who, though an Irishman born, was bred in England, and at times drops his li's like a true cockney. “She’s an actress and intends to work boxing into her business. I think it will be a taking card. She might, you know, ’avo a drama and take, say the character of John L. Sullivan’s wifo (you know he has had trouble with his wifo), and at the proper time, up with her fists and knock him out. She wili ’andle her ‘ands scientifically, and that’ll bring down the ’ouso.” “Isn’t there something of a revival in the Jast half-dozen years in boxing?” “Oh, yes. It is coming into favor again among gentlemen. I have taught at West Point military school for three years—the first man in my profession who ever did so. Professional pugilism has declined, however. Most of the business now is only ’ippodroming. It'3 nearly all ’umbug. This is the country to make money in the business. Just fancy five or six thousand dollars for two men who got together for five minutes or less until the police stop them. And the thing is nearly always arranged so that the police will stop them. It used to be a square stand-up, with naked fists for four or five hours. The boxers now a days are no fighters. They use puddingbags on their 'ands. I ’ave 'ad eight fights with naked ’ands, but none except glove fights for four years. All over the country boys and young men aro taking boxing lessons. It’s the finest thing in the world. The ’ands are nature’s weapons. A man insults you—(here the professor made a bicepital demonstration that caused the reporter to retreat toward the door)—knock ’em down. That’s better than the kuife or revolver. No remorse, no penitentiary, no widows and orphans.” “As I said, the ’ippodrome business pays best. Sullivan and Mitchell, at Madisonsqiiaro Garden didn’t ’avo the gloves on more than four seconds, and divided $9,000. People will be’umbugged. Understand, I’m not running down the profession; but this is the Xvav it has happened, and I suppose it will be about the same when Sullivan and McCaffrey come together.” “How is it that most prize-fighters die young?” “Through dissipation, whisky, and women. Now I’m forty-eight years old, a married man, and the father of fifteen children. I’ve always taker, care of myself.” Rooke doesn’t look to be more than thirty-five or thirty-six, and is a splendid specimen of physical manhood, though his face .shows the scars of more than one hard fought field.

THE MEXICAN VETERANS. The Preparations for the Reunion To Be Hold in This City Next Month. The several local committees having in charge arrangements for the meeting of the Mexican Veterans' National Association are stirring to prepare for their comrades of a war that occurred nearly forty years ago meaus of entertainment that will make the reunion here one of the most pleasureable of the scries. "What will be done has not taken definite shape, but a decision will doubtless be reached at a meeting of the general commit tee next Wednesday. If the money to justify lavish expenditure can be had the visitors will have a full round of pleasure on the 10th and 17th of next month. At the St. Louis reunion, last year, Indianapolis was highly favored as the place for the meeting this year, particularly by Southerners. A considerable sum has already been secured, but more is needed. It is the desire to give the soldiers of 1846 and 1847 a genuine example of Indiana hospitality, which is to include a banquet. It is probable the meetings will be held in the Criminal Court room, as that can be secured without cost; and as for decorations, parties have offered to furnish and put them up gratuitously. Mrs. Sarah T. Bolton, the aged poetess, who addressed Colonel Drake’s regiment, First Indiana Volunteers, as they were about to depart for Mexico, is expected to be present and read a poem. The principal address Governor Gray will deliver, and short one? aro looked for from Vice president Hendricks and Senator Voorhees. An invitation was extended to Gen. Lew Wallace, but his engagements elsewhere will prevent bis attendance. The attendance, it is expected, will reach 400 or 500, comprising representatives from nearly every State that sent troops to Mexico. Col. Dodd, the secretary of the committee, is busily engaged in sending out transportation certificates that will entitle the holders to one third fare for the round trip on some roads and half fare on others. Within the past two days he has sent nearly a hundred to those in different States who requested them. Any one of the Mexican veterans who wishes a certificate of this kind can address the Colonel at the postoffice, this city. General headquarters will be at the Grand Hotel, from which, as well as other hotels, reduced rates have been obtained. The largest meeting of the association was at Norfolk, and the next in size at Nashville, where a hospitable lady opened her doors to the veterans. At Washington the meeting was a great success. It is the wish of the committee to have the Indianapolis reunion to take rank with the best of the series. General Denver, of Ohio, is the president, and’Lieutenant-eovernor Manson, of tliis State, vice president of the National Association. The Churches To-Day. Rev. Dr. Jeffery will preach morning and evening at the First Baptist Church. Rev. Dr. Day will preach at Meridian-street M. E. Church at 11 a. m. No evening services. The pastor-elect of the Central Christian Church will preach at that church this morning. No evening service. There will be services at Grace Episcopal Church morning and evening by the rector, Rev. Augustine Prentiss. There will be morning and evenirg services at the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church by the pastor, Rev. J. A. Rond thaler. George W. Cobb will conduct tho services ai the Church of the Holy Innocents this morning, and Rev. Dr. Jenekcs this evening. “Ashamed of Jesus" will be Rev. R. V. Hunter’s morning topic at the Seventh Presbyterian Chuich: Evening topic, “The Fullness of Time.' At Plymouth Church Rev. W. W. Daring, of Elkhart, will preach this morning on “The" Ministry of Musie;" this evening on 'Tho Uses and Abuses of this World.” Rev. S. Sawyer, of Thorntown, will preach at the Fifth Presbyterian Church this morning on

“What do the five books of Moses teack with regard to the immortality of tho soul and a future state.” To day will be the last dav of Rev. Dr. A. Mar 4 ties service at Central avenue M. E. Church: Morning subject, “Tho Value of the Church;’’ evening subject, “The Resources of the Gospel.” In the morning the ordinance of baptism will be administered. STILL SEEKING A SUITABLE MAN. Several New Booms Which Soon Came to Naught—Local Political Gossip. The Democracy seem to be having much trouble in finding a suitable man to nominate for mayor. Last evening a small boom was started for Gabriel Schmuck, who was defeated by Mayor McMaster two years ago, but it received little encouragement. Schmuck, it is understood, expressed to his friends a willingness to accept the nomination if no ore of the present candidates could be agreed upon, but be does not caro to make an effort to secure it. There is no question about the convention agreeing upon ono of the candidates,” confidently declared Bernhamer, when this information was communicated to him. “There might ba some doubt in a national convention, but not in one where a candidate for mayor is to be nominated. “Bernhamer last night received a letter from Alderman McHugh, who is spending his vacation at a resort on Lake Superior, promising his hearty support, and he is now confident that this assures his success. Tho friends of Bernhamer have succeeded in defeating tho movement to change the date of the Democratic convention until after tho Republicans have named their ticket, claiming that it was simply a scheme to defeat him. It is understood that Frank Creelman engineered the move, in order that certain persons might be removed from his way. Bernhamer found a strong ally in Sim Coy to defeat the scheme. A committee of prominent Democrats called upon Judge Pierce Norton yesterday, asking him to accept tho nomination for mayor. Tho Judge replied that he could not make the race if he desired, as the law prohibits anyone elected to a judgeship from accepting any office other than a judicial one during his judicial term. A good deal of quiet work is being done among the labor organizations in the interest of Colonel Maynard’s nomination for mayor. It is thought that on the night of the primaries he will develop surprising strength. Another candidate for tho Democratic nomination for mayor is Dr. R. F. Bence, of the Seventh ward. His friends say they know of no reason why tho Seventh ward should not supply the entire ticket, thus relieving the city at large from any embarrassment. Win. Flynn, who resides in the Twenty-fifth ward, has announced himself as a candidate for councilman to succeed William Curry. Thomas Markev is a candidate for the nomination for councilman in the Twenty-third ward, in opposition to Philip Wolf. A prominent Democrat said yesterday that if the party were successful in the coming city election, Captain Curtis, of the Light Infantry, would succeed Lang as police superintendent.

INDIANA’S DEAF AND DUMB. The Restrictions Under Wliicli They Are Admitted to the State Institution. Richard O. Johnson, secretary of tho Indiana Instituto for the Deaf and Dumb, in conversation with a reporter yesterday, said: “No, we have not near room enough at the institution to ac comodate the deaf and dumb children of the State. We now have 335 pupils, and the buildings are crowded to their utmost capacity. The next Legislature will be called upon to provide means to erect additional buildings. There must be in Indiana, between the ages of five and twenty-one years, about 800 deaf and dumb children. Our rule, on account of the lack of room, is to take no boys under twelve years old, and no girls under ten years. Only twelve years, schooling is allowed these pupils, which is not enough. Children with all their faculties are admitted to the public schools at six years of age. These, if the rules we have at the Deaf and Dumb Institute were applied to them, would leave school at thirteen years of age, the very age when they would be just beginning to learn readily and be acquiring needed knowledge. It is true we have an academic courso at tho instituto, of three years’ length, but few pass to that grade.* Two of our male pupils who graduated last year have been admitted to the National Deaf Mute College, at Washington. There they will get a regular collegiate course. The number of deafmute children between the ages—boys, twelve to twenty-one; girls, ten to twenty-one—in this State who should bo admitted to the institution is probably over 500. ' * rERSONAL MENTION. State Auditor Rice is still unable to leave his room. Governor Gray is at Union City, but will return to tho city this evening. Prof. L. R. Jacobs has removed his art studio to Chicago, and liis family to Joliet, 111. J. F. McGiuley, ex-mayor of Lafayette and editor of the Lafayette Sunday Timos, is in tho city. Judge Lewis C. Walker returned yesterday from West Baden Springs, greatly improved in health. Miss Lizzie Walker returned yesterday from Lake Maxinkuckee, where she has been spending a vacation. John E. Lamb, United States district attorney, has returned from Hot Springs, and is stopping at the Grand Hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Foster and their daughter, Alice, have returned from a pleasure trip of three months in Europe. Mr. C. M. Goodwin, of the Times, who spent his vacation in making an excursion to Niagara Falls', has returned to his duties. Dr. Henry Jameson was called to New York yesterday on professional business. lie will be absent from the city several days. Major O. P. Rooks and family, of Fruitland Park, Fla., are in the city, having been called here by the serious illness of Mrs. Wm. Willard, Mrs. Rooka's mother. Misses Anna Black and Pearl Amaek left last Wednesday for a visit among relatives and friends in Chicago. They will retr.ru the latter part of this week. Rev. L. F. Walker, president of tho Oxford Female College, at Oxford, 0., is spending a day or two in the city. He reports the college as in a very prosperous condition. Mr. C. W. Ainsworth, brother, of Frank B 1 Ainsworth, formerly assistant superintendent of the Indiana Reform School, now an officer of a like institution in Ohio, is spending Sunday in the city. Trof. Ora Pearson did not get off to the Nipegon country for his aunual summer fishing excursion, as he intended, and is tantalized by receiving letters from a party of friends there who describe the fishing as glorious. The largest trout taken by tho party weighed six and a half pounds, while one day’s fish showed seven trout, weighing over five pounds each. Tho average weight, however, is about three pounds. Accumulation of Supreme Court Cases. There have been ninety cases filed with the Clerk of tho Supremo Court since the judges took their summer vacation, and it is estimated that the number which will accumulate before the next Legislature meets will reach fully 1.000.

A MILD AND GENTLE FIGHT. Sullivan and McCaffrey Go Through the Motions According to Rule, And Six Alleged Rounds Are Fought Without First Blood or a Knock-Down—The Victory Awarded to Sullivan. Cincinnati, Aug. 29.— -The sparring match between Joan L. Sullivan and Dominick McCaffrey, this afternoon, did not attract so great a number of people as had been expected. At 4 o'clock, wten it was thought the match would begin, there were not more than five thousand people at Chester Park. The audience were not ill-behaved, nor did they manifest impatience at the delay in opening tho exhibition. It was 4:30 o'clock when the preliminary boxing began. The platform for the match was set in tho middle of the track, between the two stands, and was thirty feet square and five feet from the ground. The inner ring of twenty-four feet square was marked by three ropes around eight posts, which were padded on the inside. The spectators were admitted to a rope within twenty feet of tho platform, and, besides, filled the stands, the fence, and all other available points. An ample police force prevented any breaking of ropes. From 4:30 till 5 o'clock the time was spent in a number of short boxing contests that served to keep' the attention of the crowd, and to even awaken enthusiasm, when one man was knocked senseless on the ropes. It kept tho attention so closely that John L. Sullivan was not observed pushing his way to the platform, and was not recognized until he mounted it, when there was a brief burst of applause. lie wore silk armor over his chest, but his arms were bare. His cream colored tights were encircled with a green sash. He was accompanied by his seconds, Arthur Chambers and Tom Deloy, who went to his corner. Ten minutes later, Wm. Muldoon. master of ceremonies, made a formal call for McCaffrey, or for some friend to go after him. A cheer was the response, and a carriage appeared with the other contestant. McCaffrey was received with wild bursts of enthusiasm. He seemed to be in perfect physical condition. He was attired tho same as Sullivan, except that his Ilesh colored tights were encircled by a maroon sash. Considerable time was spent in choosing a referee. Conferences between Messrs. Lunt and O’Brien, McCaffrey’s seconds, and thos*- of Sullivan were held. William Tate, of Toledo, 0., was called for, but he declined. Subsequently he reconsidered and accepted, and at 5:21 the men shook hands, and the first round began amid almost breathless stillness. McCaffrey made tho first load, but Sulk 'an stopped him easily, and in the cautious work which followed both succeeded in getting in slight blows. McCaffrey ducked to avoid a heavy blow, and, as ho arose, struck wildly at Sullivan, and was pressed to the ropes, where lie fell to his knee. Rising, they* clinched, Sullivan managing to give McCaffrey a light blow as they did so. This was repeated, and the round closed.

Second Round—Tiipre was but a minute's breathing spell. Sullivan opened the fighting this time by a blow which McCaffrey artfully evaded. McCaffrey then made a fierce drive at Sullivan, which he dodged gracefully, but McCaffrey gave him a resounding tap on the back of the neck as he recovered, which startod .a chorus of cheers. Another of the same kind set McCaffrey’s admirers wild. A clinch followed, Sullivan getting another blow on McCaffrey. He then pushed McCaffrey to the ropes, where danger seemed imminent, but McCaffrey slipped away, and the men went to their corners. Third Round—This was the worst for McCaffrey. lie struck out for Sullivan, bivt to no purpose, and in the quick work that followed, McCaffrey slipped down. Sullivan then began to push McCaffrey, and tho latter took up the tactics of running away, but finally made a stroke which Sullivan easily eiuded. Quick as thought Sullivan closed on McCaffrey and pressed him down. Growing apparently vicious, he drove McCaffrey towards his own corner, and pushed him down across tho ropes. Here some one called “time,” and many thought the round had closed, but. tho referee told the men to go on, and they did, Sullivan driving McCaffrey over to his own corner, where the latter fell, either by Sullivan's blow, or tripping against a chair, and slipped almost off the platform. McCaffrey was more cautious, and closed with Sullivan, each delivering short-range blows of no force. After McCaffrey was pressed down a second time, the time expired. Fourth Round—Sullivan opened this round with a blow on McCaffrey's jaw. It looked as if McCaffrey's powers were waning, while Sullivan was apparently fresh. McCaffrey made no ventures, but continually clung to Sullivan. Sullivan managed to reach tho side, of McCaffrey’s nose and to bring a show of blood. The round ended with another fall by McCaffrey, though the blow was not claimed as a knock down. Fifth Round—Both men seemed willing to be careful. They played with each other for awhile, when McCaffrey got a light blow in or. Sullivan. Then Sullivan attacked, but McCaffrey ran away, and the latter returned to tho attack, which Sullivan escaped bv his favorite method of ducking. After more play with no work, the time expired. Sixth Round —Sullivan now seemed desperate, though it was apparent that he was growing weary while McCaffrey was fresher. Sullivan closed, and they gave a number of in-blows, and separated. Sullivan kept pushing his adversary around, and when near the ropes, they clinched and both fell. Rising, Sullivau closed again, but this time McCaffrey got away without a fall, and delivered a light blow on Sullivan, who sent a terrific blow back, but McCaffrey ducked and escaped, and the time of the sixth round expired. Instantly there was a shout all over tho vast crowd, whict, by this time seemed to have swelled to 7,000, in honor of McCaffrey, whom they all supposed had won the match. He had stood up before Sullivan six rounds, and seemed able and willing to go on to a finish. He was overwhelmed with congratulations, while Sullivan was left to be cared for by his stage attendants only. As the crowd understood the terms, it was a draw, and thus a virtual victory for the young Pittsburg boxer. But after some time, when three-fourths of the people had started for the trains, and while tho remainder were in loud discussion of the merits of the match, Mr. Muldoon made an announcement, which only a few heard, that the referee had decided to give the match to Sullivan, on the ground that he had made the greater number of points. This announcement was wholly inaudible at the press seats, and various versions of it were circulated, among others that it was given because of a foul. Sullivan left the platform with no demonstrations in his honor, but McCaffrey’s friends were jubilant, notwithstanding the referee's adverse decision, and they lifted him to their shoulders and bore him. amid theeheersof spectators, to bis carriage. The decision was decidedly unpopular, probably owing to the doubtful understanding of the terms. It was generally supposed that Sullivan was to knock McCaffrey out in six rounds or less in order to win, and McCaffrey himself stated, after the match was over, that he thought so. He even wanted to go on to a finish, but that was impossible, as Sullivan had left tho platform. Beingasked if there was any ground for a claim of foul fn that he had kicked Sullivan, he replied ihat there was none whatever. On the contrary, he said, at one time, when Sullivan was getting tip from their fall and hud his back to him, one of Sullivan's friends cried, “Look out, John!” but ho told them not to he concerned, as he did not want to take any undue advantage. McCaffrey himself feels that he is tho virtual winner. He fought at 10.1 pounds; Sullivan at 203. lie stood up through six rounds, and was williug to continue. There were not wanting persons who decried the exhibition as a poor one. Sullivan did not deliver one full blow. McCaffrey probably aggregated as man hits as Sullivan, but his lighter weight made him appear weak in comparison with his antagonist. There i6 no question that tho popular vote would have been decidedly iu his favor. While the spectators were generally well-behaved there were several fights, and one that caused a general stampede, but without serious result. One of these contests took place on the edge of the platform, just after the fight was over. It was between McCaffrey’s

brother and Arthur Chambers, but as tho rush of men to the spot broke the platform down, the contest was ended. CONDITIONS OF THK FIGHT. The conditions of this contest were prepared by Mr. O'Brien, McCaffrey’s friend, and sent here to tho manager of tne Chester Park Athletic Club. They were that McCaffrey agreed to meet Sullivan here in a glove coutest of six rounds or to a finish, scientific points to be considered, the winner to take the gate receipts, Ic-ss the share allowed to the manager. When the agreement reached Sullivan he disapproved of the clause about scientific points, and the agreement was closed upon the conditions thus amended. When the referee took his place to day, he did not ask for the agreement, nor did any one produce it. That official merely stated that it was for a sixround glovo contest for the championship of the world. When the six rounds were ended, Mr. Muldoon, master of ceremonies, called ou the referee for his decision. The referee said, but in a tone to be heard only by those nearest to him on the platform: “I decide that all through the contest Mr. Sullivan has had the best of it; besides that, on one or two occasions when McCaffrey went down, he struck Sullivan on the leg.” Mr. Muldoon then made the public announcement that the referee gave his decision in favor of Sullivan. Ho did not repeat tha reasons for the decision. 1 hero was no claim of foul on behalf of Sullivan, by himself, or atjy one for him, and the referee did not at the time call attention to it. The decision, therefore, seems to turn upon the scientific points, the very thine which Mr. Sullivan would not agree to. Tho whole matter of conditions is iu a muddlo—no two persons understanding them the same way. Sullivan appeared none the worse this evening. Upon being asked his opinion of McCaffrey he said: “I don't care to say much about him. Ho has made a great deal of newspaper talk about wanting to stand up blow for blow, and is a pretty clever fellow; but if to-day’s prize-fight had been under the London prize-ring rules. I would have knocked him out in the second round.” Continuing, the pugilist remarked: “1 am about done with fighting, anyhow. I have whipped every man they have brought across the water, and am not running around after anew man to fight." Sullivan, in speaking of the referee's decision, said: “Ho gave me the fight because I had the best of it. McCaffrey fouled mo two or three times, and acted as if he were trying to get me to foul him.” McCaffrey presented an excellent appearance to-night. Ho did not have much to say about to-day’s coutest, but bis manager, Billy O'Brien, displayed a receipt for SIOO forfeit money now in the bands of Harry Weldon, for a prize-fight with bare knuckles, with John L. Sullivan, time and place to bo hereafter arranged. Both McCaffrey and his manaeer expressed confidence in the ability of the young Pittsburger to down the champion in the future encounter. Later. —McCaffrey’s challenge to Sullivan, referred to in to-night's dispatches, is for $2,500 and tho championship of the world. Bare knuckles are to be the rulo, the fight to be continued to a finish. It is to take place in Wyoming or in any other place where it will not be interferred with, and it is to bo fought within three mouths after the signing of the articles. Badly Puuislied i*i One Round. New York, Aug. 29.—A prize-fight took place at an early hour this morning, at East Chester, between Pete McEvoy and Billy Melntire, for S2OO a sido. About forty sporting men from this city, among whom was Paddy Ryan, collected around the ring. Only one round was fought, McEvoy winning the fight easily. He punched Melntire badly.
