As the hour approaches for Sullivan and Mitchell to determine the question of ten-round supremacy betting on the result becomes more active and "even money was posted at tbe hour of going to press. "It's a guess," remarked a luminary of Spark's pool room, "because Sullivan's Sulli-van's prowess is yet an unknown quantity. quan-tity. If he is going to stop Williams, however, ho has got to do it before the equator is reached. I mean by that that he must do it in or before the tiffli round for tho tenth is a long way olT and Williams is a stayer." There will be considerable money at the ringside and speculation promises to be rife at the end of the first round when Sullivan's nctiou and skill in the arena will have become known. The ten-round go between Purcell and Richards at Sparks' pool rooms was better than the average and the fact that the coon who was Purcell's physical superior failed to stop him in ten rounds, has put another laurel in his belt. The colored man had his rival in the pocket several times, but was not general enough to finish him.
