W0m on the Result.
New Orleans Cor. Feb. 81, New York Sum-
The great fight is over, and every sport
ing man now believes that Sullivan is the
hardest hitter that ever stripped in
ring, and that Ryan was beaten on his
merits. After the battle the reporter of
the Sun, in company with well known
physician of Pass Christian visited Paddy
Ryan at his quarters. He was lying in
bed, attended by his veteran trainer,
Johnny Roche The doctor said that he
would be happy to render any medical as
sistance necessary, but he found that the
pugilist's condition did not require it.
His pulse was normal, and his chief in
iuries consisted of cuts across the nose
and large swelling on the left side of
his neck Just below the ear, made by a
terrible blow in the last round which de-
cided the battle No bones were broken,
were not of serious nature. The doc
tor said that Ryan was affacted- with
hernia, and must have suffered great pain
during the fight.
In response to inquiries by the reporter
Ryan said: ssThis was my last appear
ance in the prize ring. l shall certainly
carry out the determination. was not
intended by nature for the business, but
Sullivan is, as he is a natural born
fighter"
Reporter-What was the chief cause of
your defeat?
Ryan--Well, to tell you the truth, my
truss came down and l was partly dis
abled, but thought could win the fight
under any circumstances. Had l been
perfectly well, perhaps the result might
have been different, as could stand pun
ishment better and give Sullivan long
tussle. AS it was, when Sullivan hit me
the first blow thought telegraph pole
had fallen on me.
eyes," broke in Johnny Roche, "that's
a fact. You must have noticed that Sui
Ivan in the last round was pretty well
tired out and could not have stood two
more rounds. AS it was, was so sure
Of Ryan's winning that L said: Steady
yourself, Ryan, you have got him. but |
was never more astonished in my life
when Ryan said: Its no use, Johnny, l
am too weak Then threw up the
sponge"
MIR. Roche said that this fight was the
briefest and one of the most desperate on
record. The betting was heavier than at
any mill he knew of. In his opinion, at
least $500, 600 changed hands. Both Ryan
and Roche took their defeat calmly, re-
garding it as one of the vicissitudes Of the
prize ring Ryan said that some thief had
stolen $500 from his clothes while he was
at work in the prize ring.
VIM. II. Borst, of New York, who won
81, 500 by Ryan's defeat, said: 'Sullivan
is great,fighter, but have my doubts
about his lasting qualities if he can only

blows" Mr.. P. Mealey, the administra-
tor of police, lost S., 900, q years salary.

Ryan and Sullivan met last evening in
the parlor Of the St. James hotel, and had
pleasant time together with their friends.
They popped the corks to the tune Of
twenty eight bottles of champagne.
In the course of the conversation Sui
Ivan said: s:Ryan, you are good, game
man, and 1 will do all in my power to IN
augurate and participate in an exhibition
for your benefit"
The reporter said: "Sullivan, you have
been very successful in beating all your
men, do you intend to fight any more.?"

to beat a good many more of them before
I get through"

porter?
"You can see for yourself. My left eye
is black and swollen. l received heavy
right handler on the back of my head in
in the last round which dazed me, and
for few moments saw plenty Of stars"
A rumor was circulated among Ryan's
friends that Chief of Police Boynton was
to arrest him and Sullivan. Ryan left
his quarters and took the Louisville d
Nashville S p. m. train for New York.
Sullivan started for the West, in COM
pany with his hacker, VIM. Emmett, on
sparring tour. Sullivan says that if he
receives any challenges he will set sail for
Europe and make match with any man
to face him there for $4,000 The Tre-
JAMS have all started for home with sober
faces and depleted purses, while the Chi
cagoans and Bostonians went away in
high glee, with their pockets well lined
with greenbacks. A very few will re-
main here to see the great carnival. Too
much praise cannot be given to Col. Tom
Kilkenny, Of New York, who had charge
of the excursion. Many were the old
friends he met on the train, and ne made
many new ones.
THE STATE WINS.
