Kilrain's Friends Satisfied with Their Man.
Odds Stin on Sullivan.
NEW ORLEANS, La, July 5.-The
friends and admirers of Jake Kllrain
were disappointed by the announcement
this morning that the train that he and
his party were on had missed connection
at Cincinnati.
Among the many who saw Sullivan at
the Young Men 8 gymnastic club rooms
yesterday were not few of the friends
of Kilrain who were actuated by a desire
to see the man against whom Kilrain
was to stand. Some of the best informed
of them went away well satisfied and
Kilrain gained quite a number of friends.
The odds are still largely in favor
of Sullivan in the pool rooms
but this is probably owing to the nom
arrival of his adversary. Some of the
latter's consorts aver that their man viii
in no wise suffer in comparison with Sui
livan but on the contrary, that Kilrain
viii show up in much better form. The
programme as regards Sullivan IS trans
fer to Spanish Fort has been changed,
and he is still quartered on Rampant
street, opposite the Young Mems gym
nastic club rooms. A large crowd has
been congregated in the vicinity ever
since daylight this morning, and they
appear oontented to watch the brick and
mortar which surrounds their hero of the
hour. At l0:30 o clock Sullivan, Null
doom and Cleary proceeded to the gym
nastic club rooms and at once proceeded
to the hall in the third story. With but
few words they proceeded to strip, and
the doors were then closed on all, and
no one allowed in the room save three
athletes, members of the club committee,
and few others. Muldoon 8 medicine
ball, sphere about eighteen inches in
diameter, weighing about twenty-five
pounds and covered with leather, was
produced and practice commenced by
Muldoon hurting the BAH at Sullivan
with all his force. The latter caught it
and threw it back with both hands, some
times over his head from his chest or
with his arms held down. This practice
continued for half an hour, Cleary TAX
ing Muldoon IS place while Sullivan gave
not the slightest evidence of fatigue or
being winded. During the exercise the
athletes eonversed on the subject of
gymnasium and expressed themselves
pleased with the young men 8
quarters After the ball game
came the dumb bell exercise
and then Sullivan and Muldoon wrestled,
the former gaming several laIls. Sulli-
van showed himself in perfect condition.
His rather protruding stomach had been
reduced somewhat and he showed up in
better form than on his first appearance
in the gymnasium. Those who were
present and witnessed his exercise de-
clared him to be sure winner, no mat
ter what form Kilrain might be in. After
the wrestling came the rope-sklpping,
at which Sullivan has proven quite an
adept His movements were grace
full, 1.-THE and active, and after
skipping the rope for more than
thirty minutes gave not the slightest
evidence of fatigue. After the exercises
the men returned to baths and after
wards Sullivan was rubbed down by his
attendants.
The st. Joe Kid, Coburn and other
pugilists are still at the ST. Charles and
are unanimous in their opinion that
Sullivan will win. The "Kid'' said, in
referring to Kilrain g chances: "He is
as much out of fight as al unborn colt is
out of the stable with the doors wide
open.
Kllrain is expected to arrive here in
the morning, and no trouble is antici-
pated in his passing through Mississippi.
Betting is very slow.
