New ORLEANS, July A large crowc
gathered at the Queen and Crescen
depot this morning to receive John L
Sullivan and party, who were expected
at IL O'Clock. When the train arrived
much to the disappointment of thos'
waiting, the men were not on board
Those gentlemen to whom had been in
trusted the management of the affair
drove out to Centilly crossing, three mile
from the depot, and there intercepted
the train. Sullivan, Muldoon and Clear.
entered carriage. and we're driven t.
private quarters. The party did no
proceed to Spanish Fort, as was antici
pated, as there was a Fourth of July
celebration there, and the trainers are
determined to keep Sullivan quiet Sui
livan appeared in splendid condition
physically. Kirain arrives tomorrow
some time, and will doubtless be SNUG
gled in. Sullivan visited the rooms OF
the Young Mems Athletic Club this
SULLIVAN MEN JUBILANT.
The advent of Sullivan caused his
friends here to become jubilant, but in
10 wise abated the enthusiasm of the
Kilrain men. They are more confident
than ever that their man will come out
of the battle the victor. They hold that
the odds offered on Sullivan are caused
by sentimental feeling, and when kilrain
puts in his appearance the current will
be turned. Pools were being sold tonight
with odds offered on Sullivan, but the
sale will be continued every evening, land
they allow the result will be different.
Sullivan and party will doubtless leave
early in the morning for Spanish Fort
twhere he will remain intraining until
he day Of the fight.
ILL FEELING ENGENDERED.
There appears to be good deal OF i'll.
feeling between the partisans Of Sullivan
and Kilrain about the hotel rotnndas
and there were good many acrimoni'
Gus discussions, in which the ex-
pletives used were more forcible than
elegant. There seems to be disposi-
tion on the part of interested parties to
get every dollar there is in sight, and
the question of admitting even memb 3rs
of the local press is causing come bitter
ness among the more respectable mana
gers.
KILRAIN ON THE WAY.
CINCINNATI, July A large crowd as
sembled at the station to meet Jake Xii.
rain, who arrived in this city. AS Kill.
rain was about to descend from the car
two large cakes Of ice were placed on the
car ps, impeding his progress. A by
stander observed, "lhat's rather cold
reception, Jake, but you are all right"
Kilrain was dressed in plain, dark
suit and wore a flannel shirt. 1t was evil
dent that he bore his long journey hardly.
He looked pale and worn, and his eyes
were dull and sunken. In reply to the
reporters question, Kilrain answered :
81 am feeling first-rate and could not be
in better trim | am sure OF winning.
AS the train was late Charlie Mitchell
and Kilrain's backer tried to have the
Queen and Crescent train tagged at
Eighth street so that the party could
proceed on their journey. When they
reached Eighth street, however, it was
found the train had gone and they then
went to the Burnett House.
On the trip from Baltimore Kilrain
occupied sleeping berth and did not
leave the train at all. He intends
simply to rest until he reaches New Or
leans. All along the route hundreds of
people gathered at the railroad stations
to see him. James Roche, of the Baltt-
8 more american, one of Kilrain's party, is
very confident of his friends success. He
SAYS "Kilrain has been sober man all
his life and Sullivan has been lusher,
and Sullivan will be whipped before
he knows it."
THE FEELING IN CINCINNATI
Seems to be that Kilrain has very little
chance against his big opponent, tu
there is comparatively little betting on
either man, because, as a prominent
sporting man of this city says: "No-
body is betting on the fight because
everybody believes it will not come off. u
Another says there are plenty of men
willing to bet on Sullivan, but they have
no takers.
Kilrains party numbers about thirty
men, of whom Charlie Mitchell, Kill
rains trainer, is the prominent figure
Among the others are Dominick McCatf
rey, Billy Madden, Pat Sharkley, Pal
Rooney, John E. Murphy, Billy Collier
George Cassidy, Pony Moore and j. K
Rook.
The feeling in this city with respect tc
ment, though those who have had {
chance to see him closely say that hi
muscles are firm and that he is in first
class condition. Today Kilrain took NJ
exercise whatever, not evt so much a.
to take walk, but kept himself close t.
his room at the Barnet House, and onl,
few of his callers had chance to SCI
him.
THE BETTING TONIGHT
Is very slow and for email sums only
the usual odds being $40 to 81 agains
Kilrain. After the disappointment at mis-
sing the connection here, it was first in
tended to go tonight, but as it was learne
that the difference in time of reachin
New Orleans was very slight, they d.
cided to go tomorrow, prefe,ring to spen
only one night in the sleeping-car.
Kilrain retired early tonight, and wi
leave tomorrow on the train which wi
reach New Orleans at IL O'Clock on Sa
urday morning, provided that no delay
occur.
