Ryan was suffering from hernia aud must

He advised him TO forsake the prizerng,
RYAN stated he intended giving up pugi-

nature for that kind of business. lie said
he considered Sullivan born prize-ilghter
and very formidable. opponent in the
ring. In regard to his defeat Ryan spoke
very calmly, admitting he had been fairly
whipped, and at the same time stating lac
had been sick during the night
and was permanently disabled early in the
action by the falling OFF Of his truss. lie
said he suffered great pain and lelt IN no

senting his hacker, said they considered the
fight fair one, and had no complaints to
make in regard to the result. Fox lost
$500. Between 100000 and 100000 are
to have changed hands on the re-
suit. The result to-day was in accordance
with the expectations of many keen OBJ,
servers of the two pugilists, who relied
upon Sulivan's wonderful hitting power
and remarkable deXterity as two handed
fighter to win the battle. From the start
he acted on the offensive, attacking his OPP
poncnt with violence amounting almost
TO ierocity, breaking down Ryan's
guards with his tremendous blows,
and following up the attack |
by clinching and wrestling. There was APP |
but little science displayed, the |
rounds being short and sanguinary, ending !
in a fall or knock-down. The plan Of at |
tack could not have been carried out for
any great length Of time, but Sulliyan's |
friends depended for success upon his quick |
work. Sullivan and his party took the eX-
cursion train and came to the city soon
after the fight. Ryan, Roche and Harding
came to the city last night and viii leave
for their home tomorrow.

Travelled in this state for years Another
result of the adoption of this law in the
state is the emigration of more than IO,OW
people from Kansas into southwestern
Missouri, to say nothing of the loss
to Kansas in German and other
immigration. In addition to this many of
our business men and merchants from
Wichita, Leaven WORTH Atchison, Topeka
and other cities of Kansas have removed
their business and capital from the state to
Kansas City, and Missouri is reaping the
benefits of that capital and business which
has heretofore belonged to Kansas. The
wholesale liquor business in Kansas City
never was better, and their iobbing trade
with Kansas sufferers is simply enormous.
