Carl Abs arrives on the Suevia steamship, which was captained by Franzen
Notes:
Initially it is reported to be expected on March 7, 1885.
Then it is again expected on March 9, 1885.

Prices for the Suevia's trip back to America were:

Steerage - $10; round trip.
They are said to be reduced prices.
On March 17, 1885 it's reported two passengers from the ship have been diagnosed with "typhus" and "proper sanitary precautions" were being taken to stop it spreading.
The whereabouts of all of the passengers is going to be ascertained too due to the disease being extremely infectious.
It's said around 100 passengers were on the ship.
On March 20 it's reported another has been found with "typhus."
This time it says there were 100 immigrants on board.
On March 22 it's reported the sixth person from the ship has been diagnosed with "typhus."
In the same newspaper column a report from the Sanitary Bureau is printed which states 5 people have died from "typhus fever" over the past week.

Abs is said to be 6'0 and 33 years old. Abs:
"is a perfect specimen of manhood. He has an intelligent face, black curly hair, and the muscle of his neck and shoulders stand out like whipcords. Not withstanding his geat weight there was not a pound of superfluous flesh on his body."
Abs is said to have defeated "Vauss, the famous German wrestler."
Abs is also said to have a reputation as a weighlifter eprforming feats such as lfiting a 1,500lb horse with the use of a harness and raising a 230lb dumbbell with one hand.
Said Abs may have a promising future and is likened to Clarence Whistler.
Mr. Schmidt was announced as challenging the winner of the bout.
Bibby said Schmidt will get a match then.
Bibby continued to say Abs's backer was in attendance and would back any amount against anyone in the world at Graeco-Roman on behalf of Abs.
Hoeffler claimed Abs had choked him and pointed to some "slight abrasions on his throat."
Hoeffler said he would face Abs again though.
Bibby said Abs will wrestle anyone for $1,000.
Matsada Sorakichi then shouted, "That's me."
Abs is reported as saying he is confident he can beat any man in the country at Graeco-Roman.

An Hartford paper called him "the new sensation in New York."

Carl Abs "The German Giant" (202lbs) Vs. Matsada Korgaree Sorakichi "The Japanese Wonder" (170lbs),
Draw (01:55:00)
Notes:
Abs is billed as the German Champion.
Sorakichi is billed as the Japanese Champion.
Abs suffered a cut on his head when Sorakichi charged at him head first and their heads crashed together.
It's said Abs "smiled when he saw his blood-stained garments."
At one point in the match Sorakichi exclaimed, "Too muchee likee Jumbo," of Abs.
Sorakichi managed to push Abs on top of the footlights while the German was off his guard.
Then while Abs was off-balance Sorakichi shoved him again and sent Abs off of the stage and under a table.
Again Abs is said to have smiled upon seeing the broken chair and crushed high hat which was a result of his fall.
Police Captain McCullagh threatened to stop the match if Sorakichi didn't abide by the rules of wrestling.
After 50 minutes wrestling Coburn allowed the men a 10 minute rest.
When the men resumed Coburn was unhappy with Abs's workrate and threatened to give the purse to Matsada if Abs didn't get a fall in 10 minutes.
Bibby spoke up and informed Coburn he could not do that as two falls were needed to win.
A member of the audience shouted agreement with Bibby.
Coburn threatened Abs again a few minutes later and was met with fans gesticulating wildly with their canes and hats to show their immense displeasure.
One woman rushed the ring and made "warlike motions" at Coburn.
She turned out to be Abs's wife.
Captain McCullagh again sensed trouble and whispered something into the ear of Coburn.
Coburn again accused Abs of not wrestling, but this time just called the match a draw.
The spectators left "sadly disappointed."
"About 2,000" for attendance comes from an out of state newspaper.
"Over 2,000 Men" was reported in Buffalo.
Papers from other cities also reported the match as being $500 a side, rather than $250 a side.
An out of state paper reported that James Daly was second for Sorakichi.

Abs is listed as the German Champion.
Sorakichi is listed as the Japanese Champion.
After the first fall an admirer of Abs's threw the wrestler a bouquet of flowers.
Like in the first match Sorakichi was heard to exclaim, "too muchee like Jumbo."
Sorakichi managed to tangle his foot in the ropes to save himself in the second fall.
Abs's fans cried out, "Foul! Foul!"
It looked as though a row was about to get started, but Sergt. Gallagher, of the 17th precinct, managed to quieten the situation.
Sorakichi quit due to being too tired to continue in the second fall, he told his second, "me sick, me sick."
[Jumbo was a giant African elephanbt which had made promoters of curios large amounts of money. By April 16, 1885 Jumbo hadbeen with the Barnum & Bailey Circus for approximately 2 years]

During part of his speech Muldoon asked the crowd not to smoke.
When the match got underway Jerry/Jere Dunn and Wm. Harding sat in the count room and began counting the receipts.
It's said Muldoon is Abs's biggest opponent thus far and Muldoon isn't big enough for the German!
After an hours work the two men were allowed a rest of 15 minutes.
After a further half hour they were allowed 2 minutes rest.
Madden offered a wager of either $500 or $1,000 that McMahon could throw Abs at Catch-as-Catch-Can.

Abs lost the second fall by using his hand for balance on the ground.
In the third fall Abs got an arm-lock on Matsada and Matsada quit.
He exclaimed, "You too muchee fightee." Sorakichi continued, while checking his arm was not too badly damaged, "You no likee a wrestler."
After the match Mrs. Matsada Sorakichi had a verbal exchange with some men who called her husband a "quitter."

The Debut of Mr. Augustus Harris's Pantomine; Jack and the Beanstalk: Evening Show
Promoters: Augustus Harris
National Theatre - Drury Lane, London, Greater London, England
Attendance: "Despite the Unwonted Rivalry at Her Majesty's, the Usual Crowded and Noisy Boxing Night Audience Assembled"
1 - Jack and the Beanstalk
By Harry Nicholls & Augustus Harris with Herbert Campbell, Harriet Vernon, Dan Leno, George Conquest, Leopold Troupe, the Brother Giffiths, Agnes Hewitt, Marie Faudelle, Charles Lauri Jun., Mdlle. AEnea, and Carl Abbs
2 - Feats of Strength
By Herr Carl Abbs "The Strongest of All Strong Men"
Notes:
This is billed as the debut of both the pantomine and Carl Abbs.
Originally Abs is advertised to debut at the Covent Garden Grand Circus on December 26, 1889.
He only appears in one advertisement for the Covent venue though and then he is added to the Drury Lane show about a week prior to the show.
The one of the diretors of both Drury Lane and Covent Garden was Augustus Harris though, so it was simply a case of Harris needing Abs at this venue more.
Colonel North; H.L.W. Lawson, M.P.; Montagu Williams; Captain Shaw, fire brigade; W.H. Russell, Henry Petitt, G.A. Sala; Lord Londesborough and party; and Lady de Grey were all among the audience.
"[Abs] performs some remarkable but rather tedious feats, and ultimately lifts a good-sized horse several inches from the ground by the aid of a strap around his shoulder." - The Guardian
At the Alhambra Theatre Herr [Eugen] Sandow is in his last few dates of a near month long engagement.
