SULLIVAN BEATS KtLRAIN.
John l.. Sullivan defeated Jake
Kilrain at Richburg, in y well-con-
tested fight of seventy-tive rounds.
Kilrain was lighter than his anita
gonist by from ten to thirty
pounds, according to different, ac-
counts, and made a sort of dodg-
ing fight all through. Kilrain's
hackers threw up the sponge for him
when time was called for the seventy
sixth round, as they would not see
him take any more punishment.
The only marks on Sullivan were a
slight cut under the right eye and
another in the left ear. kilrain' s
body showed the effect Of Sullivan $
blows and he was bleeding at the
ears, nose and mouth. About three
thousand spectators viewed the
fight, which was for $4,000 side
and the championship of the world.
William Muldoon, Sullivan S
trainer, considered it the greatest
fight that ever took place between
two heavyweights. Kilrain he con-
sidered the greatest heavyweight
fighter except Sullivan. Muldoon
never wanted again to see a man
knocked about and punished as
Kilrain was. He thought boxing a
grand exercise, and would do all he
could to encourage it; but he
thought ring fighting too brutal, and
wanted to see no more of it.
1t is telegraphed from London
that Smith has challenged Sullivan
to fight in Europe for fl 900 a side.
