Dougherty, of Philadelphia, had been at
tending him and Kilrain had been taking
medicine ever since his arrival here II
fact, on the day of his arrival he was seen
taking medicine from a vial, but this at the
! time was believed to be some pre-
paration which was intended to
assist him in getting into con
dition for the fight. DIR. Dougherty
stated To some members of the club that he
had been treating Kilrain for boil from
which he had been suffering for some
time These facts became known only to-
day, and the consequence was revision
of opinion, and some of the members re-
marked when he had gone that they wished
they never had invited him.
Prof. Donovan stated that he did not
know anything of this prior to the fight,
otherwise he would have had nothing to do
with it. He would not have allowed Jake
| Eilrain to enter the ring. Since the fact
has become known Kilrain's sluggish move-
ments while walking; his. isinclnation to
strip and his aversion to taKe exercise, as
well as Mitchell's care that he should not
take any, and Kilrail' ) troubled looks; his
rather cadaverous face; in fact, his strange
actions words and looks are all attributed
to this.
Professor Robinson, in charge of the
pupils of the Southern Athletic club, who
witnessed the fight, stated openly on the
train while returning, that the fight was a
colossal ''fake' from beginning to end,
and that both Sullivan and Kilrain were
parties. This explained Sullivan's
magnanimity towards Kilrain. He had
him at his mercy several times during the
fight when he could easily have knocked
him out. He processes to know all about
sparring, and has seen a number OF prize
fights and is competent to judge.
His assertions were made openly to the
members of the club and have evoked no
little comment. Some allege that he is
mistaken, for too many heavy blows were
hit, and the principals received too much
punishment.
Kilrain arose this morning and desired to
take a bath in swimming tank, but was
not permitted to do so. At an early hour
the guests of the club gathered together
their wardrobe and commenced packing up
and at 7:15 o'clock Kilrain, Mitchell, Pony
Moore and DR.. Dougherty lett in car for
the Texas q Pacific depot, and boarding
a train left for the north via Texas IN
order to avoid going back through Miss
issippi for fear of arrest
Mr.. Stevenson, Kilrain's hacker, left
the city yesterday afternoon via the
Crescent " Queen line, en- route for his
home
Kilrain was not suffering the least incon-
venience from the body blows he had re-
ceived, and was sounded by DR.. Dougherty,
who tapped him in the ribs and with his
fingers without causing Kilrain much pain.
John L. Sullivan, William Muldoon and
Mike Clearly are still in the city, and are
at their old quarters at Rampant street.
About 9 80 o'clock Sullivan was presented
with a large wreath of flowers represent
ing horse shoe. Sullivan acknowledged
the gift in a very brief speech. Sullivan
returned to his room at 9:45. He was then
somewhat under the influence of liquor,
and four policemen stood at the corner in
case he committed any overt act. Chief of
Police Hennessy and John Fitzpatrick,
who was referee in the fight, then visited
him, but left him in a few minutes. 1t is
