viii the Fight to Come Of Next Monday
Prove to be a Fake?
New York. July 5th.-The Worlds New
Orleans special says the Louisiana
Artillery has been ordered to prevent
the Kilrain-Sullivan fight occurring in
Louisiana. This came from a visit of Ad-
jutant-General Ferry to day. The move is
intended to stop the fight should the Sher-
If prove inert.
DON'T LIKE KILRAIN's ACTIONS.
New ORLEANS, July 9Th Many of Sui
Jimmie Wakely, Phil Lynch and Jack
Barnett, affect to fear that there will be no
fight. They say the odds are that Jake
will be arrested on his way to this city
They base this fear on information that
Jake is not in good condition and that he
did DO work yesterday in Cincinnati. Said
Barney Mcclure this morning: "The re-
ports say that Jake looks tired and worn
out and that he is disgusted at learning
that his backer has hedged out his stake
money. He never expected to see the big
fellow get into condition. He always had
hearty dread of John until he broke his
arm and went wrong, and now be finds he
has rounded to better man than ever.
don't think there's bit of stomach for a
fight with him."
The missing of the train by Kilrain yes
terday at Cincinnati is regarded as an i'll
omen by betting men, and they declare it
forbodes defeat Many Of them who have
bet on Jake are hedging.
By tomorrow it is believed that 1000
strangers will be in town. Tickets emitting
the holders to witness the fight were placed
on sale this morning.
THE BIG FELLOW TAKING EXERCISE.
NEW ORLEANS, July 5th.-During Sulli-
vans exercise to-day football filled with
-four or meal and weighing twenty-five
pounds was tossed from Sullivan to Null
doom and then back again distance of
twenty-five feet. The pet of Boston" de-
liyered and received this heavy ball
for forty minutes without betraying any
signs of weakness. Neither Muldoon nor
Cleary could stand the test of endurance,
so they alternated taking ten minutes of
the work each, while Sullivan finished as
fresh as a daisy.
Those who saw Sullivan hurl that ball
with one hand with a velocity and force
that made Muldoon stagger as he received
it, were reminded of the John l. Sullivan
of old, whose blows struck men with the
force of pile-driver. Sullivan then be-
gan skipping the rope. He skipped with
one foot at time and he did it with the
grace and airiness of a ballet girl He
skipped a thousand times without stop
ping, and was not audibly or visibly
putting when he got through. Sullivan
perspired profusely during this exercise.
After minutes interval came the dumb
bell exercise, consisting of three move
ments. This was repeated fifty times,
causing Cleary and Muldoon to blow, while
Sullivan scarcely breathed hard. Little
ball punching followed. The force and
celerity of the blows amazed all who wit
messed them. They demonstrated two
things conclusively. First, that Sullivan
can hit as hard as ever. and, second, that
he has lost none of his old time lightning
rapidity. Sullivan appears in the pink OF
condition-better than ever before in his
life. He measures AZ inches around the
chest, and is as deep through from breast
to back as he is from side to side. There
does not appear to be an ounce of super
fuous flesh on him. His flesh glows with
the color of health. His back is covered
with prickly heat, which causes him, how
ever, no inconvenience. His legs from the
waist to the knee are the perfection OF
symmetry. Below the knee they are not
DO peIiect. IAPeIts Sdy, uoNefer, LIS SKIP
ping exercises prove him to be very 6rm
on his pins. His muscles are hard and
firm, and his biceps measure 16t inches.
Altogether his friends are jubilant over
his condition and predict an easy victory.
Betting is all one way, ten to seven on Sui
livan. When Kilrain and his crowd arrive
however, there may be change.
At o'clock Sullivan dined on chicken.
broth and stewed chicken, rice and water,
melon. This was washed down with a
glass of ale. At o'clock the party again
proceeded to the club-rooms. Tomorrow
will be the last day of active training
Sunday will be devoted to absolute rest.
