their hands and then anoint him with
tlesh-hardening liniment. Next comes
a dinner of roast beef. or mutton, or
chicken, with vegetables and fruit for
dessert. He washes the food down
with two glasses of the best ale. Forth
fed by this meal, he lounges about
under the trees or plays with the two
big mastiffs on the farm until half
IN hour before supper. BY that
tihte he is rested enough to
Mfsstle with Muldoon or Cleary for
hAH,an hour. After supper, which is a
frugal one. he bats a bail around, and
tl}en throws the heavy shot and goes to
bed and sound sleep at 8 or $3.50.
From the time of BendigO to the pres
ehEday many celebrated pugilists have
matte their appearance in the prize ring.
4 There have been countless champions.
ibqtsthe king of them all is John Law
irarrse Sullivan. Heenan, Sayers, Nor
risssy, Yankee Sullivan, Tom Flyer,
iJee Coburn and Jem Mace were all
sgfeAt fighters. but not one Of them ever

his like has never been seen. Dempsey
Isl called general because of his head
work in protracted battles when the
tNonpareil' has had an opportunity to
wind his man. Dempsey is tactician
OF the Mace school. Sullivan instituted
a,school of his own. His style is new
and original. Many fighters have
striven to copy it, bur have not sue
ceeded. Peculiar in temperament, er-
ratio in habits, Sullivan has assisted his
enemies in their attempt to cause his
Reinforcement, and phenomenal con-
stitution has alone prevented the mans
downfall. 1t is said that Sulli-
van has passed the zenith OF his
glory, that he is not the mighty
This may be. Still he is yet to be de
feated in the ring, and thousands upon
thousands of dollars will be wagered
upon his success in his meeting with
Kilrain. To know Sullivan when he is
himself is to know prince among good
fellows. His popularity is widespread.
On the night he opened his saloon on
Washington street, in Boston, it was
hard to get within two blocks of the
place. That was five years ago. After
he fought Mitchell to draw in France
it was declared by several Of his enc

Boston. A benefit was proposed. It
took place at Music hall. The result
was not only a financial success, but

was in reality an ovation. Some peO-
