Take Place Saturday
New YoKK, June 30th-To show how
confident are Sullivan's hackers, Johnston
has quit playing the races for week say
ing that he could invest his money on 8
sure thing by betting on Sullivan.
The hackers of both men expect to real
iZe enough out of the excursion money TO
make the whole of their stake money.
They expect that from 5000 to 5000 people
will pay $40 each to see the battle. That
will yield from $50, eco to so GOO. and after
all expenses are paid there will be money
enough left to give them back their stakes.

has responsible men in different parts of
the country betting on Sullivan. He will
invest enough on Sullivan to make his loss
whole if kilrain is defeated.
KILRAIN THE PICTURE OF HEALTH.
BALTIMORE, June 30th-Jake Kilrain
told correspondent that it was all bosh
about his being overturned, rumor to
that effect having been circulated yester-
day. He certainly looks the picture of
health and strength. He has not made up
his mind as to what day next week he will
leave for the South. His decision will be
governed by MitchelPs opinion.
MITCHELL CONFIDENT.
NEW YORK, June 30th.-Charlie Mitchell,
Jake kilrain's trainer, was in town yester-
day, but left in the afternoon for Baltimore.
He suggested that Jake should go to New
Orleans with his friends on the special
train leaving Jersey City July 4th, at $50
a. NJ, and stopping at Baltimore. Mitchell
is confident of Kilrain's winning the fight.
DIVERSITY OF OPINION.
New YORK, June 3Oth.-The questions
addressed to the leading sporting men of
the different cities show wide diversity of
opinion as to whether Sullivan or Kirain
will win. Here are some of the judgments:
Ed Holske-"I am putting my dollars on
Kilrain. ! think he is wonderfully clever
sparrer, has never dissipated and has
trained conscientiously."
Dominick McCsffrey declares his belief
that kilrain will win, because he thinks
he is better man.
BOSTON UNRUFFLED.
Boston, June 30th.-The sports here
seem TO take little interest. Some think
the fight won't come off.
Captain Cooke of the Police NeacS said
The man who lasts will win the fight.
Everybody knows what Sullivan could do
when he was Sullivan. Kllrain wouldn't
fight If he thought he had John of 50 to
contend with. If the men agreed to go TO
California and have their battle under
Queensberry rules we would know what to
expect. There would be winner on his
merits"
TOM KELLY's OPINION.
ST. LOUIS, June 30th.-Tom Kelly, ex-
champion middle-weight, who seconded
Paddy Ryan in his light with Sullivan,
said 81 have never seen Kilrain fight and
do not know what he can do; but taking il
that his fight with Jem Smith was on the
square, he must be good one, for Smith is
the acknowledged champion of England
But for darkness coming on Kilrain would
have won. Mitchell fought Sullivan to a
draw, and Mitchell is not as good man as
Smith. That would indicate that Kilrain
is the better man, providing Sullivan was
in condition when hetmet Mitchell, which
| don't believe he was"
SULLIVAN OVER ESTIMATED.
Tom Allen, the ex- champion, says: xii
rain will win sure. Sullivan is a greatly
over-estimated fighter. He got in those
knock out blows i'll the beginning and PEG,
pie regarded him as a wonder. But there
is a difference between travelling about anG
sparring few rounds with gloves on anC
real fighting. kilrain is a very clever
fighter. well up in the London rules, anC
he will whip Sullivan as sure as / am 60
ing to the fight with Tom Kelly and Fred
Atkins, and my money will go on Kilrain.'
CHICAGO BACKING KILRAIN.
CHICAGO, June 3Oth-The majority of the
sporting men in Chicago think kilrain viii
be winner.
"Parson Davies said II believe John
will be whipped by Kilrain. The latter is
naturally good fighter and his training
has been most vigorous. He will be in the
pink of condition when he faces the bis
fellow"
