Sullivan aud Kilrainr

BALTIMORE, Md, July l.-Iesterday |
Kilrain let up little Oh his training
and spent most Of his time with his
wife and children. In the afternoon
walked to the training quarters, over
six miles from his home, with Charlie
Mitchell, who arrived from New York
early in the day. This morning over
one thousand persons stopped at Hal
stead to see the pugilist. During the
evening after supper, Mitchell enter
tanned few friends and visitors with
variety of songs, accompanying HIM
self on the piano. The result of
Mitchell's trip to New York Il that
Kilrain will go south in private car
attached to the Police Gazette tram,
which is due here about 3 p. NJ. on
Thursday. No one will be admit
ted to the car but Mitch
ell and Johnny Murphy. Charlie
Carroll, who was to have acted as UNI
pirc for Kilrain, will be prevented from
attending the fight by official duties.
He il employed in Custom House.
When asked how he felt to night Kill
rain replied: First class in every re-
spect. / intend to stay that way"
BELFAST, N. V, July 1.-While
training here, Sullivan has reduced his
weight As pounds. The only trouble
the trainers anticipated at the grounds
is change of water, but to-day Null
doom decided to take several jugs Of
water from a well here. They will be
sealed with wax and kept in refriger
ator on the journey. 1t has been de-
cided that the party will leave on the
train at 3 80 this afternoon Sullivan
is anxious to leave on the early train,
while MuldOon, on the contrary, wishes
to remain at work during the forenoon
and leave in the afternoon. so it is inn
possible to state at present, how they
will decide.
New ORLEANS. July Though it is
true that Governor Nichols proclama-
ton will not stop the fight, it has had
nevertheless, an effect upon the plans
of the event, and has somewhat dimin-
ished their scope. There will be no
elaborate ampitheater, rs was at first
intended. The ring and surroundings
will be only of such nature as can be
arranged in few hours after midnight,
yet they will be 80 arranged as to fur
nish the best accommodations possible
for the large number who will wit
ness the fight. The ring will be laid
out and the stakes driven by James
Flynn, Dennis Butler formerly being
the man who attended to like details
at the Mississippi City meeting OF Sui
Ivan and Ryan. The discussion of
the probable victor in the fight con-
tinues warm and as far from bringing
anything like agreement of opinion
as ever. Betters are inclined to wait
until they see the men in the ring be-
fore putting their money up. How
ever, the belief that the fight is really
to come off is now quite general, and a
considerable amount has been risked
with odds favoring Sullivan. Beyond
some technical disputes over points
in rules, there seems likely to be nc
trouble between the representatives Of
the two principals as to the matter Of
referee. Alex. Webster and Edgar
Leche, the latter Administrator of Pub
lie Affairs, is in the city. Still the
men are most prominently mentioned
, and as both are square, capable men
which includes all the qualifications
that fighters call for in q referee, nc
! difficulty is likely to occur over the
important official.
