New Windsor hotel, on North Calvert street,
where he was locked in a room, and there he

and there he spent the night. He got bolster
Gus, would not listen to advice to keep quiet,
and by 9 o'clock he was in the dark cell in the
cellar, where his cries were mufled by the

his faithful bottle-holder began at an uptown
hotel Wednesday night. surrounded by

driver was called into requisition, and sporting

the city, and at each the bar was literally pat

John L. Sullivan was to have gone to Boston

big sensation in Hunters point and Blissville
yesterday afternoon. They attended the funeral
of John Murphy, the veteran driver, and on
their way back to New York stopped at McWil-
liams' hotel, Blissville, and at Tony Nliller's
place, near the Hunters point ferry. At each
place tremendous crowds gathered and the
champion ''set 'em up" for everybody. The
crowd was so great at Hunters point that the
police reserve had to be ordered out to clear
the way to the ferry. Sullivan threw hundred
or more cigars among the crowd as he marched
through it, and was vociferously cheered.
