The sulIiyan-Kilrain Fight.


The scene of the Sullivan-Kilrain
tlght last Monday was near Rich
burg, Miss, l03 miles from New Or
leans. Tine sheriff OF Marion county
appeared and commanded the peace
in u perfunctory manner, but was
laughed at and he in company with
5000 other spectators looked on and
enjoyed the fight, which lasted nearly
three hours. 1t took 70 rounds for
Sullivan to whip his smaller antago-
mist. The pugilists weighed 205 and
1856 pounds respectively. John FItz-
patrick, of New Orleans, was referee.
Kilrain secured the first honors
by throwing Sullivan in the first
round. In the And Sullivan secured
the second fall Kilrain struck sever.
al foul blows below the belt in the
third round and was Kissed, but Sui
Ivan won the round. kilrain won
the fourth, but in this and the 9th
he went down TO avoid punishment.
Sullivan threw Kilrain in the 9th.
In the 7th Kilrain secured first blood
from Sullivan's ear. In the Slh Sui:
livan got in first knock down In
the 9th Kilrain fell TO avoid punish
ment. In the the 10th Kilrain came
up reluctantly and Sullivan called
out "stand up like man. They
clinched and Kilrain threw Sullivan.
Kilrain began to show signs of dis
tress GU the llth and from that dime
on the fight was virtually decided.
Many of the rounds were brief, Kill
rain going down Intentionally. In
the 32nd Sullivan stamped Kilrain
after he was down, but the referee
failed TO notice the foul. Kilrain
was plucky and continued TO come
up after he was whipped and the
spectacle was pitiable. The Balti-
more man was badly battered and
bruised and when his hackers threw
up the sponge he was bleeding at
the mouth, nose and ears and his
body looked like raw beefsteak.
Sullivan was cut on the ear and had
finger broken on each hand, but
was still in good fighting condition.
The affair was brutal one and a
disgrace TO the intelligence and civ
ilization of the 10Th century.
THE MONEY MADE.
The contest was for 5000 side
and the $1,000 championship belt.
The gate receipts amounted to $685.
600 OF this the railroad got - per
head or $1,000. The expenses were
then deducted, probably $4,000, and
the remaining $4,000 divided be-
tween the contestants, 60 per cent. to
Sullivan and 40 per cent. 10 Kill
rain. Upon this basis Sullivan's
money was all told $l7,500, while
Kilrsin's was 81, 200, or 81, 900 letsthan
he put up, excluding the belt lost.
Besides this Sullivan won a personal
bet of 81, 900 from Kilrsin and about
$4,000 more from other parties.
