Governor would stop the fight. He was
assured positively the battle would be
fought beyond the State line. A point on
the New Orleans s. Mobile Railroad
within the limits of Louisiana, had been
selected, but the action of the Governor
made it necessary to change it. 1t looked
at one time as if it would
be postponed, but late in
the evening Sullivan agreed to the choice
of place beyond the Louisiana line. He
would not, however, sign the new articles.
A very large crowd assembled at the
Mobile depot in the afternoon to witness
the departure of the pugilists. Ryan and
his second, James Dunn, of Brooklyn. and
Tom Kelly, of St. Louis, left the train, in
