WELLS AND SULLIVAN TO-NIGHT. Patrons .of "the noble arf'should have no cause/to complain of the./bill, of fareto be presented at the Opera House tq- ' night. During recent years much has ibeenj heard .'.of' "Sid" Sullivan and "Dealer" Wells as; feather-weight; boxers of the' first rank, and, consequently, their first meeting is. attracting ..considerable attention.; The management, of the tourney, states / that both ; : men have shown splendid - form in their training since ar-. riving here! On Tuesday evening a number gathered to witness Wells in a.threeround bout-with Tracy;(local-light-weight champion), and were' treated to.a fast and clever exhibition. Immediately afterwards Wells boxed three rounds with: Porter (amateur champion),' and demonstrated his 'fight to-'be termed one of. the cleverest: of his-class, seen here, in recent .years, v His' hitting and foot-work was much admired. Sullivan is/of-the. closer order of. fighter,- arid appears to hit very hard: indeed-for bo'light .a-man. In boxing/with'-, heavy .men'he has:shown par liculrirly clever work in avoiding punishment. .' Other- items ;that should be interesting are the bouts'between Bums and Leckie, Kerr and. Ellis,- Gould and Galvin, and . (as :a variety) -a- skipping exhibition by-a local'. amateur. His Excellency, the, Governor ■ has - intimated < his intention of ".being present.. ■;. ';;,
