that they we're located at Tom Curley's saloon

Sullivan had arranged 10 leave for New York

route chosen will take him through Canada

observation as much a. possible, but managed

ENJOY himself thoroughly in private.

pugilist, John L. Sullivan, for next mayor OF
cultured Boston That the report is not alto

given it by an influential morning paper, which
saws:
John L. Sullivan is unquestionably bug man nova.

Hon. NJ. N. Cuniff, the democratic boss was
asked what he thought about it, "What do
think about that" said he: II don't know VIVA,
to think Of il. This is the first intimation
received that John was in the field. That may

may be serious. Stranger things have occurred.

incumbent opposed to him. John would be sure
to make tough fight. Here in Boston can
