Will Not Accep, One Rel..

says he will not accept Fox's belt, eth
er for his bulldog or himself, feeling
that it is not necessary in establishing
the fact that he is the champion pugil-
lst. He will remain here several days
as guest at 20 North Rampant street.
This eve ming he will be given recep-
tion by the Young Mems Athletic club
of this city. Joe Coburn thought the
fight was an excellent exhibition of the
manly art. He looks upon Sullivan as
a perfect wonder and beyond all perad-
venture the greatest fighter in the
world. At first he was surprised that
Sullivan had not knocked out Kilrain
much sooner than he did, but this was
satisfactorily explained when the in
Jury to the champions left hand was
made known. He did not think Sulli-
van as good man yesterday as he had
seen him in other years, but was salts
fed that lie would never be asked into
the arena again. His training
under MuldOon and Cleary was admir-
able, its results surprising, all eX-
pectations, especially as when first put
to work he was in wretched condi-
ton. There was then nothing of him
but life, and Muldoon instead of train
ing him at once pursed him rs If he
was a child. Coburn calculates that
Sullivan's share of yesterdays mill
will net him about see 900, exclusive OF
the champion belt which Coburn says
Sullivan will return to Fox. Said
Coburn: Were l to be called on to
fight Sullivan, when the blankets were
taken off and his matchless proportions
were displayed, would say, Sullivan,
| longs to you" Muidoon, who was
seen last night by a reporter, expressed
himself as delighted beyond measure
with the result of the days battle,
witt his big gladiator, himself, and the
balance of the world.
Sullivan was to have left the city at
an early hour this morning, but at the
and at 11:25 he is still III the city.

LATER.
Sportsmen in town spent this mora
| ing in talking over the fight. Many
| left town on the early trains and by
night the majority of them will be gone.
Kilrain is still suffering qnite severely
this morning, but bis hackers say no
bones are broken, and that he will be
all right shortly. There are various
rumors in circulation in regard to his
condition, and reports are flying
around that he is dying. There is no
| truth in that however, although Kill
rain was rather badly hurt internally.
1t is expected that Kilrain and one or
two of his friends will be
ready to leave town Friday
morning, unless fear of arrest hastens
their departure. Governor Lowry of
Mississippi, this morning issued a
proclamation, and states that he will
eXtradite all participants in the fight,
and especially Sullivan and Kilrain and
their seconds. Sullivan's fear of arrest
| will probably interfere with the ar
rangementS for a reception, and the
champion is being kept secluded. Ar
rangements are being made to have
the Sullivan party go back to New
| York by steamer. Backers of the big
fellow want to keep him from drinking
and believe this will do him good. Kill
rain will go home to Baltimore,
The governor of Mississippi got out
a requisition for Kllrain's arrest. but
Jake gave everxgne the slip and left

over the Queen 81 Crescent, and was
over the state line before he was
missed. He will 60 straight through to
Baltimore without stopping, arriving
there early Thursday morning. Mitch
ell, Pony Moore and Johnny Murphy
are with the party. Frank Stevenson
remains behind to settle up business
matters. The excursion money will
give each man about 81 900. Sullivan
leaves for the north at $3.50 this after
| noon. A false report was started here

hospital with three broken ribs, and it
