T1IEEE 18 LITTLE NOW TO HINDER THE GREAT. PRIZE-FIGHT. Danbt a ta Whether Crldge Wilt Be Stakeholder-" Prof." Oravss Waute to Hpar With Dempsey-Tbe Lyraan-.llur-ray Plftkt Postponed Tommy Ilurns'a Itecord as a Swimmer and Pedestrian, The surprising case with which the final ar rangements for tho greatost prize-fight the world has over seen woro completed yesterday is tho theme of comment In sporting circles. " Why, it really looks as if both parties were eager to fight, " remarked a prominent sporting man. " What hat become of all this talk about one man's being afraid and the other scared T Thcro wasn't much of that spirit shown at tho meeting." This gentleman's remark was tho gist of all. Indeod. tho business-like spirit evinced by both Sullivan's and Kllraln's backers was highly com mendable and will tend to lncrcaso public confi dence in the honesty of pugilists. Had thcro been any bet inns disagreement and the stake holder' not clinseu, pugilism would havo le ech cd a very blink eye. Tho pal tlos interested were, well auaio of this, ami both sides did all they could to facilitate matters. ... Messrs. Frank Stevenson and Charlov John son, at the conference yesterday, showed them selves to bo old dinlnmatH at match-making. Ihoy urged tho cases of thoir respective clients as skilfully an two Philadelphia lawyers could havo done. It was thrust and parry right through, though tho main issue was not lost for a moment. e Jimmy Wakoly said last night that Mr Allen II. Cridzo, tho bookmaker, selected as llnal stakeholder, had not deciclod to accept tho rcspousiblo position. lie asked to hae until to-night to say whethor or not he would aceopt. Tho impression iprovalls that ho will consent to act. Now thcro cannot bo any hitoh or decent ex cuse for cither sido getting out of lighting. Tho only way to avoid a light would bo for either Bullhan or Kllrain to secretly notify the polico so the latter could prevent the fight, or have themselves bound over to keep the peace. Then, of course, they might disagree as to tho clioico of a referee Noither thoy nor their friends aro at all likely to do oither, and thoro is ovory reason to oxpect a fair, square battlo. "Prof." Qravos, tho "coon" who wants to fight Ills Coonship, Potcr Jackson, haunts Frank Stevenson's lesort liko a black shadow. As a preliminary' to fighting one of the most formidable heavy-weights in tho world, he would liko to spar Jack Dcinpsoy at tho Brook lyn theatie where tho Nonpareil is now exhibit ing.

The backors of Jack and lllly assort positively that tho scrap will occur within four weeks, Mike Conloy, the Ithaca giant, who wants to fight Jack Ashton for any amount, so ho says, has not yot heard from Ashton.
