He has not, be says, offered tl,000 to a party to hire a gang of roughs to prevent Sullivan winning the coining fight, nor has be placed any stumbling block in tt» way of the contest being fairly decided. The gentlemen who will accompany Mitchell to the trysting place a«r well known, be asserts, and he is ready to name them. If Sullivan objects to any one of the ten names, Mitchell k willing to scratch it from his list He expects Sullivan to concede him a similar privilege; he (Mitchell) desires to extend aad receive fair play.

Accord ing to them, Sullivan would gain no glory by defeating Mitchell, and if the fight goes the other way the American will be laughed at. Mitchell assures his backers that he will be there, and will not place anything in the way of the fight being concluded.
