Vienna studying medicine, returned to Boston
yesterday. Since completing his Studies be
had been travelling on the continent and had
passed the larger portion of the past winter
in Florence, where he frequently saw and
talked with James G. Blaine Being asked,
"1s Blaine as Ill as reported or is the story
simply a campaign lie," he answered: "Mr.
Blaine is not sick in the sense OF requiring
constant medical care but he is far from being
well and believe he has progressive malady
which will cause his death in short time

think he can not with the best OF care, sur

IDENTIFY Afraid of Him.
BosToN, February 27th-Regarding the
plans for the coming battle between Sulli-
van and Mitchell. one of the champions
hackers writes:
The champion wants no tough people
on his side; those whom he has chosen to
accompany him are above any misdoing.
The list made up thus far includes Harry
Phillips, John w. Barrett, Harry Bull,
Arthur Magnuss, Fred Atherton, George
Macdonald, Patsy Sheppard, Jack Ashton,
Sam Blakelock, and two Americans who
are expected here. hardly think Mitchell
will be able to muster anything like a
tough mob, because he's too badly disliked
by the people, particularly by those who
would do anything wrong. ] understand
he will be seconded by Jack Baldock and
Jake Kilrain, with Jem Smith as bottle
holder and Pony Moore as umpire.
sULLIvAN's SECONDS.
Sullivan is not fully decided on both
seconds. One will be Jack Ashton, with
John Barnett as bottle-holder, and the
writer as umpire. The battle-ground and
referee will be chosen on or before March
LIST, when the last deposit of f400 side is
posted. The privilege of the battle ground
will be decided by a toss. The lucky man
must then name the place. which must be
at least eight miles distance from here, and
not farther off than 1000 miles.
1t remains between Jem Mace and ]. B.
Hugle as to vino will officiate as referee.
The last named is a stockbroker and an ex-
cellent judge of fighting. He contributes
literally toward that branch of sport, and
is highly recommended as sauare-dealing
man by the editor of the Sportsman
WILL MITCHELL FIGHT?
Many are OF the opinion that the Eng
hshman will not enter the ring unless he
feels reasonably certain of having the best
OF 1t In some manner. 1t is no secret that
he has offered 9200 to a certain man to get
him draw or win. They attempted to
make overtures to Mace, but Jem declined
to listen to them. The only obstacle that
Mitchell can place in the path to avoid the
fight is the police.
WHAT KILRAIN SAYS.
Kilrain does not wish to be quoted as
saying that Mitchell will whip Sullivan
but he assures everybody that Mitchell will
be in the best condition and will enter the
ring at about 10 pounds. Mitchell hopes
TO give Sullivan the hardest battle in his
life.
Jack Baldock and Kilrain will handle
him in the ring.

shall again try to make a match with Sui
livan for myself"
He says he will return to America with
