THE COMING MILL.
Sullivan is now in training for his match
with Slade, the Maori, at Madison square gar
den, New York, next Monday night. at the
Cliffs, Scituate, Mass. asked Moran how the
champion was progressing
He is In fine condition. said the valiant
Frank II left him this morning in the hands Of
Joe Goss and Pete Mccoy, who are handling him.
Sullivan is not working very hard for two reasons.
In the first place-he has been taking good care of
himself recently, and in the second place, he does
not need to in order to knock out Slade. Sullivan
has very poor opinion Of the proves of the
Maori and rightly, too. think. John will have a
per cent Of the net receipts
"How does he tramp
He gets up between and z o'clock and takes
walk OF two miles; breakfast is eaten at o'clock,
after which he lays around until it is nearly d.
gssted, when he walks o distance of twelve or
fifteen miles, generally running the last two, how
bath and briskiy rubbed down. after which he eats
a carefully selected dinner. In the afternoon he
amuses himself by playing base bali Or football,
followed by an hour or more at smuggling
pended bag or ball. Supper is then eaten, followed
by walk Of about four miles He retires at 8
o'clock sharp"
He expects to make professional tour Of the
country about the last Of September, going as far
West as California" He may engage in sparring
hibitions for year after that when he expects to
settle down and attend to his business here"
The newspaper and sporting fraternity of
Boston are upon the lockout for something
exciting now, as there is a probability Of an
other Elliott-Dunn affair." Sullivan, the Boston
bruiser, is bowling for gore, while poor scribe
has made walking arsenal of himself for pro-
lection. Col George Eland, the active sporting
editor of the Globe in this city, has mortaly
offended Sullivan, who, it is alleged, VOWS
revenge. Eland is long-legged Irishman
with close cut hair, but minus decided

At the breaking out Of the rebellion
he joined the confederates, and was
elected colonel by the captains of a large
body of cavalry, which afterward captured

was an Insurance agent, doing large business,
| but he was ssknocked OUT by the Chicago fire.
He then became reporter upon the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, bus he was too original even for
| that paper. He came East and joined fortunes
with the Globe Il was he who started the
false story Of sullivan's attack Of hsemorrhage,
and later on he concocted a yarn about Sulli-
| van getting drunk, breaking the furniture in
his house, and nearly killing his wife. The
champion was almost frantic when the first
| story was printed about him, but when the
other was published he vowed vengeance and
sent word to Eland that he would break him up
| into little pieces at the first opportunity. The
colonel immediately secured o revolver, and
swears that if Sullivan lays hands on him he
| will shoot him like dog. His knees are lit
| tie shaky, however, and he manages to keep
out Of Sullivan's way. MEL e.
