orderly. Few of them were drunk. At
0 O'Clock the second train reached the
battle ground, after several
vExATIoUs AND LONG DELAYS.
The locomotive did not have power
enough to draw the train up the grade or
round the curves. The coaches were
also in poor running order, hot boxes
being frequent and causing much delay.
Within twelve miles of the battle-ground
half of the train was detached to wait the
return of the locomotive. When the
train arrived at its destination, rush
was made to the ring, which was pitched
half mile from the depot. 1t was 8
o'clock and ten minutes before the train
of the $40 men made its appearance,
and in FIVE minutes after its arrival the
smphitheater was a packed mass oil
EAGER AND PERsPIRING HUMANITY,
Something like $4,000 in number. By
this time a friendly cloud spread over
the face of the sun and tempered its
burning rays. The crowd waited pa
tiently and in good humor. Many were
hungry and all were thirsty and tired,
but there was no relief, except at the
hands of a colored man who peddled
cheese sandwiches of doubtful age at
fifteen cents apiece, while another col
ored man peddled water at five cents q
cup. A wave of delight was caused
by the appearance of a man on the
grounds with tray full OF filed
beer glasses, which sold like hot cakes
| at twenty-five cents glass. For some
reason, after disposing of his load, he
failed to reappear, in spite of repeated
demands in concert for "beer," from a
point directly at right.angles to the re-
porter's stand. They got no beer, how
ever, and somebody started a corner in
water, and the price rapidly rose from
| fifty to seventy-fve cents bucket.
APPEARANCE OF THE PUGIIsTs.
At 9:25 Pony Moore and Donovan ap-
peared within the enclosure and we're
received with cheers, more because of
the prospect of an early fight than as q
mark Of de'erence to the recipients.
Donovan looked pale. Next to appear
we're Dan Murphy, Tom Costello, Mike
Cleary, Joe Murphy and Wakely, John
son, and Barnett, all hackers of Sulli-
van. Bud Renaud's appearance was also
| the signal for applause. Kilrain was the
first of the gladiators to appear.
He was accompanied by Charley
Mitchell. They we're both received with
applause and cheers, in acknowledgment
Of which Mitchell tipped his derby.
Kilrain's appearance dismayed his
hackers. He was unshsven, and looked
! haggard, worn and weak. 10 short, he
looked scared. A long ulster, or sweater
as it is called, extended from his neck
almost down to his anAles. His appear
ance was the signal for tornado of ap-
plause and cheers, demonstration not
without its depressing effect on Kilrain.
Both principals were led to seats in
corners diagonally opposite to each
other and were surrounded by friends,
bottle holders, seconds, hackers and a
miscellaneous throng of partisans. The
tanning process seemed to have an in
vigol ating effect on Kilrain, and he began
to brighten under its influence. Sullivan
looked flushed but not particularly buoy
ant. He also submitted to being famed
with patient meekness and seemed tc
realize that his destiny hung upon the
issue of the contest. Sullivan's imme
date attendants were William Muldoor
and Mike Cleary, seconds; Dan Murphy
of Boston, bottle holder, and Tom Cos
tello and Phil Lynch, umpires. On the
other side were Charles Mitchell anc
Mike Donovan, seconds; w. B. Master
son and Dennis Butler. umpires, and OF
Murphy, bottle holder.
