How Fitzpatrick Was Chosen.
When the question as 10 tho referee
came UP and Kilrain's men suggested
Kenrick, Sullivan named John Fitz-
patrick, saying he was widely known as
an honest and upright man. Mitchell
said he did not know Mr., Fitzpatrick,
but thought II the othet side wanted to
fight the man he (hfitohelD had named
ought to satisfy them. Charley johnson
said that II Kilrain would not take
man Of Fitzpatricl's reputation IL
showed that he did not care 10 fight.
Mitchell then proposed toss up for
choice between Kenrick and Fitzpatrick,
but che Sullivan men refused Professor
Butler here suggested The name Of New
York man, but the other side also OBJ
jooted to this nomination and, after
some further wrangling, Mitchell said
they were willing TO accept Fitzpatrick.
This was greeted by cheers from the
crowd.
