Sullivan follow, and begging KilrsIn
TO fight. The latter went down from g
slight blow and the seconds of Kdrain
| knew that their man must lose after this
round unless q chance blow could save blm
Sullivan although slightly wiuded was
| able 20 deal sledge hammer blows and
| hiirain was gradually growing weaker.
| His blows had no strength in them and
hisleft side was evidently giving him
| considerable pain. He pursued his usual
tactics CT rejecting whenever Sullivan
advanced, and the jeecs of the crowd
against he alleged champion of the
world We're be- coming more and more
marked. Kil~ain would smile, but there
was ghastliness in his assumed goo d
| humor that WAS sinful TO witness. His
| strength was surely going and no one
| knew ii better than KiIraiu.
Fifsy-frs to tifty-sixth-Kilraiu re-
sorted TO rstreating tactics to the disgust
| of the crowd, going down reps atedly
without blow to avoid punishment.
In the sixtieth Kilrsin went down
without receiving q blow and loud cries
of foul were heard on every side, but dis
| allowed.
! In the sixty-ffth Johnson offered to

TONED by the referee.
Wnen time was called for the seventy
sixth, Mitchell ran over to Sulivan's s
corner and asked if he would give Kilrain
a present providing they would throw up
the sponge. Sullivan generous
ly answered, "Of course [ will"
but Mike Donovan, seeing the condition
of his principal and to save bin further
punishment threw up the sponge. Sulh-
van had again proved his title as champ
ion of the world. The only marks on
Sullivan was slight cut under the right
eye ard another on the left ear. Kilrain's
body showed the effect of Sullivan's
blows and was bleeding at the ears, nose
and nouth. Both men were hurriediy
conveyed 20 the train by their friends and
given attention. Suliivan's condition
was superior to KiIraiu's, the latter look
ing as if he had been over trained. At
no time, excepting when Sullivan's
stomach gave evidence of weakness, was
there doubt as to the final result of the
fight.
New ORLEANS, July S.-Kilrain was
Joelng the scratch when Donovan, his
second, threw up the sponge, thus de
ciaring Sullivan the victor. Kilrain was
not satisfied but Notwithstanding his
protestatiOns he was bundled up in a
black shawl and hurried to carriage
in waiting. kilrain, Donovan,
Butler, Murphy and Mitchell drove rap
idly to the sin and entered their car.
Sullivan, Muldood and Cieary entered the
first coach. When KIlrain seated him
self he was surrounded by host or sym
pathizing friends, who copsOled him for
his misfortune.
KILRAIN wEPT LIKE CHILD
and continued exclaiming: "I'd him
beaten" A large crowd followed the
hack and remained standing around the
coaches in which Sullivan and KiIrain
were. Mr.. Stevenson, who has been
Kilrain's friend Uhrought, remained by
his side and sponged him occasion
ally giving him a drink of whiskey
| and water. Kilrain would not be con
soied, but continued to bemoan the loss
of toe battle which he had hoped to WIN.
Prof. Michael Donovan, of the New York
athletic club, VINO so ably seconded
| Kilrain, Prof. Butler, of the Southern
Athletic club and Johnnie Murphy, bot
| pal, one relieving the other in admins
tering to his comfort and relief. None
| felt the defeat of Kilrain more than
| did these people aud Prof. Donovan
| stated though KiIrain did not want to
throw up the sponge he concluded to do
so, for his principal was exhausted from
| heat and exercise as we'll as from the pun
| lshment he had received but had so
nobly stood. Charley Mitchell
Kirain's trainer held himself aloof from
! him, however, but there were many other
| friends of Kilrain there to take his part.
! As soon as the two gladiators and their
| friends had seated themselves in the
| coaChes, the
! TRAIN MOVED OFF
at rapid rate. KlIrain appeared to be
! suffering more from mental than physI-
| cal injuries and was very gloomy. At
! times he would brighten up a little, but
| those occasions were rare. His face did
not betray the great punishment he had
| received at the hands of his big anita
| gonist. He had cut under the nose,
| across bosh lips and his left eye was
| slightly discoIored aud swollen. His
right hand had been injured by blow
| on SullIvan'5 head, and his left instep .
! had been cut by the spikes on Sulliv ans
shoes, which cut through the leather of
| his shoe. He had received a terrible
| punishment about the ribs and doubtless
suffered considerable pain, but he gave
no voice TO his agony, if any he endured.
| He claimed to have been more overcome
| by the heat than by the blows of Sulli
| van. Referring to the fight, Kilrain
| said he had not been trained
| properly and he was not in coAdition
| when he entered the ring, and this
seemed to be the impression of every
| one who saw him when he entered. He
| would work and get some money together
again, he said and would once more
make trial for the cham pionship
| He had SoIlivan "done" twice, he coz
| tInusd, but he had not been properly
| trained and was unable TO take sdvan =
| tsge of this, bat he was willing to fight
| Sullivan again. He punched Sullivan
| se7ersl times aud did not seem 70 hit him
! aud ne labored under she impr scion that
| som ething must have been done TO him,
| IN other words, that
HE BAD BEEs DRUGGKD.
| He did not have the strength of cat;
| he could stand any amour of punish
ment, but could not iphict any, and he
| could see his blows were not hurting Sui
| livan.
| Wheu the train reached the station
| carriages we're prOcCrsd for Kiirain and
| party and they were driven up town.
/ Kilrain was conducted TO the Russian
| bath, and after being subjected thereto he
