BILE for the purpose) Sullivan takes
brisk walk Of from eight to ten miles,
the last two OF which are with an In
crease of speed to bring on good per

and in being rubbed with the coarf
towels and hands.
Mr.. Madden says this is the la
time he will train, unless it be Sui
Z. van again, for he expects to mai
Z money enough out of this fight to
him. / never saw two men so perfec
ly confident of success as Sullivan al
= Madden in the coming contest vii
= Ryan. Their only apprehension seen
= to be that their adversaries will sele
u some battle ground whore the office
u of the law will interfere and stop &
= fight. The general impression is tn
!. they will fight in Louisiana but VI
!, not in Mississippi, for there is no Ia
:. on its statute against prize fighting
10 There are Claiborne and Touline st
/ tions, and Wayeland station, whe
81 Mace and Coburn fought, on the ra
~ road between this place and the Lo
II isiaaa line, and at any OF the thu
81 they can have a square fight. I
le Mississippi law officers can be preset
