BOXING.
JOHNSON AND SULLIVAN. ' From an American friend of the "Sydney Referee":—"Jack Johnson, in his famous grey racer, is one of the sights on tho boulevards of Chicago almost any day. He turned the corner at tho Annexe Hotel the other day, just as John L. Sullivan and J. Callahan wero getting into a taxi-cab. His machine skidded, and almost knocked Sullivan over. Tho black champion waved his hand, but old John L. could not see the joko. of the thing, and simply growled back, saying: 'That fellow is crazy, and will kill someone some of these days.' After watching Jack, I liavo come to the conclusion that Johnson parades in this way with his machine for the publicity it gives him! Almost daily he is mentioned in the papers, and when not mentioned ho gets arrested or does some thing that makes thorn arrest, him. It's the cheapest kind of advertising he can buy. And, what's more, Johnson knows it."
