Office of the Police Gazette. Kilraln's hacker.
from Mr.. Harding, the papers representative
at the ring side:
desperate ever witnessed. Kiirain was beaten
after the third round from a heavy blow in the
stomach. His strength left him and he was
quite weak and often feeble. and 1t was evident
he was suffering. from the effects of Il sickness
known only to his trainers:
Sullivan fought carefully and he was heavily
backed by the thousands at the ring.
How Train managed to fight 20 long and re.
ceive such punishment would surprise many il
thy only knew what he was suffering from.
Sullivan was tonight to n stGndetill several

The phenomenal sales of THE EVENING

not mislcd by the myriad of false and erro-
neous rumors that we're circulated broadcast.
1t bul 'etined the announcement of the au-
thentic result of the fight seven minutes in
advance of any of its competitors.
The crowning achievement of THE EVEN

its g O'Clock edition, which contained all the
ess' initial details of tho great fight. and its
principal features from beginning to end.
and which was the first report of the fight
received in New York City.
