Sullivan Says He Will Never
Enter the Ring Again.

New ORLEANS, July S.-John l.
Sullivan, who was seen i'm
mediately after being con-
veyed to his special car, wa
in the best of humor, and while not
talking a great deal, always made
agreeable replies to any and all Ques-
tions put to him by his friends or the
representatives of the press. He said,
among other things, that he would never
enter the ring again under any consid-
Grafton. He had done his share of
smuggling during his rather brief career
in the fistic arena and he wanted no
more OF 1t. He certainly did not
intend to fight the California
negro, for the simple reason that he
considered it entirely too degrading for
a white man to place himself on an
equality with a negro. His refer
ences to Kilrain and his fighting quail
fcations were of most pleasant
character, concluding with the remark
that he (SullivaD had got more effect
i've humping in his contest with Kill
rain than ever in his life before. OW-
ing to the dislocation of knuckle
on the first finger of the left
hand, which occurred in the seventh
round, he was compelled to make the
remainder of the fight almost single
handed.

their money on him the next time he
enters the ring against any living man
except Sullivan. No account of this
much-talked-of contest will be COM
plete unless the thread of the narrative
is taken up at the time of the departure
of the first train from New Orleans
Monday morning at 80 o'clock. The
rush for admission to the SIS coaches
was something indeScribable. 1t took
nearly two hours to seat the SIS ticket
holders, but there was not room for all
of them, and some had to occupy
camp-stools in the aiSles. The anxiety
to see the fight amounted almost
to frenzy, and those who were with
out the means to pay SO or SIS, the
price of transportation and admission,
took the chances of losing their lives in
attempting to steal ride. Just before
the SIS train started from New Orleans
1t was discovered that scores of men
and boys had concealed themselves on
the cross-beams connecting the wheels,
while others hung on the long iron rods
connecting the trucks. The greater
number, however, were perched on the
roofs of the cars. They were driven off
with difficulty. The
RING WAS PITCHED AT RICHBURG
in clearing on the edge of a pine for
est, near the little village which is 1O2
miles from New Orleans, and 96
from Meridian, Miss. The ring was
pitched on patch of green turf, and
surrounding it on the three sides were
tiers of seats ten feet high. The gen
eral aspect of the crowd was anything
but tough. The hoodlum element was
largely outnumbered by an eminently
respectable crowd. Professional men,
merchants, bankers-some from New
Orleans, others from neighboring states
were present to a preponderating de-
gree. Many of the spectators came
from points as far distant as San Fran
cisco in the West, and New York and
Boston in the East. But these were
Mostly Of the sporting variety. And
