Boston's pride, who is to spar with Jack
Burke at the Chicago Driving park to-
morrow, arrived by the Pennsylvania Cen
tral road this morning at 9 o'clock.
Patsey Shepherd, his trainer. and his
brother, Mike Sullivan, had preceded him
and were at the depot to meet him,
as was Prof. Connolly, representing Parson
Davies, Ed Dorney and the GLOBE CORE
spondent. With Sullivan were Arthur
Chambers and one or two other friends.
The champion has not improved in appear
ance since his last visit. lie has shaved
off his mustache, and he has bad boil a.
the back of his neck, which prevents MIN
from wearing collar and large silk hand
kerchief takes its place. He seemed to be
afflicted with slight cold. He was dressed
in blue suit, with tall white hat. The
party entered hacks and were driven to the
fremont house. On arriving at the hotel
the party registered as follows: John L.
Sullivan. Michael F. Sullivan, Thomas
Bogue and Patsy Shepherd, Boston: Arthur
Chambers, Tim A. Maher and William
Shillingsbury, Philadelphia. John L.was
in hurry to get renovated after his jour-
ney and
DID NOT TALK,
but Shepherd said he thought they would
return to Boston Immediately after the con-
test here. He did not think there was any
chance of Sullivan's going into the show
business for good. He smiled incredulu-
ously when reporter told him that Pat
Sheedy had said Forepaugh was willing to
give Sullivan 81, 500 week to go with the
circus, provided that Sheedy went with
ho n ,0t1
in Chicago. Later in the afternoon Sulli-
van was again seen. The champion was
sitting in the rotunda of the fremont with
his friends from the East and several Chi
cago sporting men. He said he had spent
all the morning in a Turkish bath and felt
fresh and well. In fact he had never felt
better, were it not for the boil. He would
express no opinion as to the coming contest,
but Was evidently confident He denied
the statement telegraphed from Philadel-
phia that he had been on spree there and
in this he was corroborated by Arthur
Chambers and the parties that were with
him. Patsey Shepherd also said he had
made inquiries and was sure there was no
truth in the report.
THE IRISH LAD.
Burke has been in training here for the
past three weeks. His Headquarters are at
farm house just outside of the driving
park. He is now looking in better form
than at any time since he has been in
Chicago. He expects to enter the ring on
Saturday at ITO pounds. Burke has fitted
up neat little gymnasium, where daily he
can be seen taking his exercise. He rises
at o'clock each morning, takes a short
walk and eats breakfast of rare beef
steak and mutton chops, couple of soft
boiled eggs, with a little dry toast and tea.
After breakfast he takes walk to the Des-
PLANES river and back. He is then rubbed
down and indulgeS in a 200 yards spin.
Dinner, comprising boiled mutton, stale
bread, tea and pudding is followed by
SHORT REST.
The afternoon is spent in the gymnasium
and the days exercise is taken by Burke,
and he is sent to bed at 10 o'clock. '.I'm
building myself up, instead of coming
down." said Burke, land I'll strip about
TO when go into the ring Saturday. 1t
is not waste flesh, though, and it makes me
hit good deal harder. When fought
Barnes up at st. Paul l noticed I could
strike good bit harder than I used to-"
His wind is good, and he takes a long spin
with skipping rope every day to strengthen
the muscles of his legs and make him quick
on his feet. Twenty miles is about his
usual walk each day, with run of half
or three-quarterS of mile. Bass ale is
the only substitute for tea he ever takes"
