| When John l.. Sullivan stood in ths
waiting.room of the Grand Centra
Depot Tuesday morning there was q
smile of contentment on his lips and a
CLEAN of satisfaction in his eyes. HI
wore the tall white hat which he
jammed on his head wi h 30 much en-.
ergy Immediately after Mondays fight,
and he was followed and worshippetl
at q distance by his mill-lOOking wife
and his peaceful brother. Behind him
was q long queue of friends and those
parasites Of the prize-ring who natural
ly prey upon the victor.
When the 8 80 train left the city Sui
livan rode In a parlor-car, and his
stories of his experiences of the night
before no doubt sent many thrill of
admiration through the wife, who
denies with emphasis that she ever
served her husband as a sand-b bag.
Sullivan was accompanied by the same
men who came to this city with him
from Boston. They did not ride in the
same car with hun, for the glory of the
suce esslul "slugger" was too great for
them. To the reporters, before he left,
Sullivan had little to say. He was
evidently supremely satisfied with the
result of the fight.
admission TO the fight on Monday night
was the largest that has ever gathered
to witness Sullivan's prowess. There
were IL, 900 persons present, and $l3, 400
was the total of the nights receipts
Before the morning dawned Sullivan
was handed 81, 900 az his share, or IS
per cent, and Sade was given 81, 900 or
35 per cent. of the net receipts. The
expenses were 81 ,0o0 rem tor the build
ing, and like amount for printing and
other expenditures. As the Garden
has seating capacity of only $4,000
persons, the number Of men who stood
and awaited Sullivan's final blow can
easily be appreciated.
The amount taken at the door in the
Sullivan-Wilson Iuatch was SIG, 900, but
then each ticket sold for 81. In the
Sullivan Mitchell fight the receipts
were 1000. 1t Is said that when
slade hail been sponged after his arri-
val at his room in the Putnam House
on Monday night, he went Immediately
to bed and slept, without break in his
slumbers, until ten O'Clock yesterday
morning. Sullivan slept but little. AT
tor the fight he seemed to lose his nerve,
and his wife sat by his bedside until
late in the night. He had evidently
been prepared for desperate encoun-
ter, and his comparatively easy victory
surprised him into nervousness. Both
men ate hearty break kfasts in the morn
ing.
There was not scratch or bruise
on Sullivan's s face to tell of the meeting
of the previous night. When Slade
arose he took a cold plunge bath, and
the story of his experience as related by
the newspapers was told linn by Mace.
He gave no evidence of being pleased or
dispeased, but simply observed "Sul-
livan was a better man than thought.
When Mace asked him what he thought
of his defeat he replied "Im salts
fed. got enough" There were many
persons who called on him, but he re.
fused to see them. His body gave no
evidence Of the severe punishment it
had received, and there was not q
single mark of a bruise that had been
made by Sullivan's gloves.
On his right thigh there was a scratch
and bruise which he received when he
fell from the platform at the close of the
second round. His face told the story.
His nose was swollen and scratched,
and his left eye was almost closed.
Iodine and ice relieved the inhammar
tion in the course of the day, so that
when he visited Harry" Hills last
night he was able to see with his bat
tered eye. He passed the morning in
his room. In the afternoon he az.
companied Mace to the latter's lodgings
in Clinton.place.
Harry" Montague, Mace's agent,
explained Slade's defeat to Tribune
reporter by saying that the Maori
was the LATEST dog ever met. We
were unable to get Slade to take the
proper exercise. He was too confident
that his superior weight would whip
Sullivan, and in consequence when he
should have walked or run fifteen
miles day, he only did two. Then he
stuffed himself with beet and vegeta-
bles, instead of confning himself to the
diet bis trainers prescribed. After eat
ing until he could hardly breathe he
would 60 TO bed and to sleep, and he
invariably raised a row when we awoke
him. The only portion of his training
he liked was his daily swim. There is
no doubt in my mind, however, that
when he meets Mitchell next month he
will worst him."
Mace was apparently as satisfied with
Slade as he expected to be. The old
fighter winked shrewdly at the reporter
when he was asked his opinion of the
fight, and said "It wasn't fight.
1t was bit of Slade's training. The
man was tiabby, and wasn't in condi-
ton. didn't expect him to fight. l
only wanted him to stand up against
Sullivan and show his pluck. He acted
well-better than had reason to ex-
pect. What money we made we will
use to whip Mitchell. don't know
of any man in this country who can
whip the Boston man, even if he found
the courage to try.
"Sullivan told me after the mat ch that
Slade hit him more frequently and
harder than any man who had ever
faced him. Slade will start for Kansas
City tomorrow night, with Jack
Brighton and Harry Rice, his train
ers. He will goimmediately into active
training" Mace added that he inten-
ded to challenge Sullivan after the
Slade- Mitchell fight, and if his chal-
lenge Is accepted q soft-glove match
will be held at the Madison Square Gar
den between the old champion and the
new. Slade was not disposed to talk
about his fight he told " Harry" Hill
yesterday, however, that he was de-
termined to meet Sullivan again under
the same conditions as on Monday
night.
The stakes in the Slade- Mitchell fight,
which will in all probability be held
within forty miles of Kansas City on
September II, will be $1,000 side.
The betting is at present equal on the
result. "Gharlie Davis, or "Parson
Davis, came from Chicago on Monday
to arrange soft-glove contest between
Sullivan and his old antagonist,
