Mrs. CLEVELAND shuns publicity as
much as possible in New York, but she
is still an object Of general curiosity.
She was nearly smOthered by a crowd
of eager women when she paused a
moment in the foyer after the opera
one night recently. An observer noted
then that she looked lovely, but was
hardly as fashiOnably dressed as the
average fashionable woman. When
asked to dinner and to meet a few. per
sons in the evening Mrs. Cleveland ex-
cused herself on the plea of her hus-
bands absence. She said, among other
things, that Mr.. Cleveland was anxious
to avoid society, and added, smili2gly,
that she suspected him of hiding invA-
tations under books and magazines

CLEVELAND, July 9.-Rev DR.. Woods re-
ferred to the team work. of the Cleveland
Baseball Club at the meeting held Sunday
afternoon in honor of the reopening OF the
Third Baptist Church. He showed how neces-
sary it was for a congregation of Christians to
pull together" and in illustrating the point
said that he had attended the Cleveland-Boston
ball game on the afternoon of July 4 In his
opinion Boston had better players, but the
unity Of work among the Clevelands gave them
the game. There was an incident of the after
noon, however, that the doctor did not refer TO.
In common with many other well-known citi-
zens. he sat on the bleaching boards" as the
uncovered seats at League Park are called
He was very near the bench on which the Bos.
ton players sat when they had their innings"
tAlthough the doctor was accompanied by an
other minister and was surrounded by many
gentlemen whose presence would lend grace
to any drawing room, there were several talk-
tive chaps near by who said some unpleasant
things to the Boston team Finally tne umpire
made a decision which the Bostonians thought
was much against them, and 1t had hardly Deen
delivered when one of the individuals on the
''bleachers" began chiding the disguised and
who sat with his players, lost his temper at the
combined attack of spectator and umpire, and
springing upon the bench on which he mad peen
sitting shook his index finger under DE-
Woods nose, became very red in the face, and
exclaimed in loud tone of voice:
"Sir, if you don't keep your mouth smut III
have you put off the ground"
Dr. Woods blushed; but his clerical friend
Immediately came to his rescue by giving Mr..
Hart some interesting information.
MY dear SIR" said the minister, "you don't
know whom you are talking to. The gentle
man under whose nose you shook your finger is
Rev. e. A. Woods, d. D., pastor OF the First
Baptist Church, the most fashionable congre-
CATION of that denomination in this city. DR..
Woods came here to enjoy the game. He
hasn't said a word, but has conducted himsel1
like Christian and gentleman"
1t was then Mr.. Harris turn to grow red. In
fact he almost fell off his perch on the bench.
He stammered out public apology from where
he stood and after the game enlarged upon 1t
in private conversation with DR.. Woods.

ESPECIAL. TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHJ
NEW YORK, July "A telegram re-
ceived from W. e. Harding. who repre-
sented Richard K. Fox at the ring. said:
The fight was the most desperate ever wit
messed Kilrain was beaten after the third
round from heavy blow in the stomach. His
strength left him, and be was quite weak
and often feeble, and it was evident he
was suffering from the effects of a sickness
carefully, and he was heavily backed by the
thousands at the ring. How Kilrain managed
to fight so long and receive such punish
msnt s would SUR surprise many if ino.syy they
from. Sullivan was fought to a standstlll sew
eral times, but Kilrain had no strength to fin
ish him. The referee was decidedly Sulli-
van man, and he did not understand the rules
Sullivan was badly punished, having two black
eyes, swelled lips and ear split. Kilrain was
terribly punished about the body.
The Police Gazette people did not seem
inclined to take much stock in the drug
ging story, and couldn't imagine what
sickness Kilrain could have had.
They had never heard of it before. They
were inclined to think it was a square
fight, and that the best man had won.
The $40, 900 stake money and the belt repre-
senting the championship are in the
hands of AL Cridge, the stakeholder.
They will be handed over to the winner,
probably without any particular formality
beyond the taking of receipt, as soon as
the written report of the referee is received
and application for them is made Prob
ably it will be sohe weeks before the trans
fer is made.
Sullivan has said since the fight that he
proposed to have nothing to do with the
belt, and would refuse to accept
it. Before he went South ne prom
ised several friends to cut it up
into pieces after he had won it, and to give
them each a piece. Arthur Lumley said
to-day that he was going to make Sullivan
take the belt, so he would get the piece

NEW ORLEANS, July civilian Null
doom. the wrestler, who trained Sullivan for
the fight, had this to say to a reporter to-day,
when asked his opinion of the fight:
My impression is that 1t was the greatest
fight that ever took place between heavy
weights The fighting was fast and furious all
through, and don't think the man was ever
born who could have whipped Sullivan yester-
day. At the end of the fifth round. when he
had fought over half an hour he was as strong
as when the fight commenced, and could have
fought two hours longer, if necessary He re-
vice. did not want him to meet with any
accidents. l consider Kilrain the greatest
heavyweight fighter living outside Of Sullivan.
He is a game and determined man. 1 don't
think he was in condition for fight in this hot
climate. He was trained too fine, and soon
became very weak.
allowed my man seven pounds to lose in the
fight. and after the battle was over he was just
6N pounds lighter than when he entered the
ring. He was not a bit tired, was cheerful and
in no way injured. My advice to him is to live
the balance of his life slow and easy, and never
again enter the ring as principal. He is now
restored to perfect health, and may yet live to
enjoy good health, if he will only take care of
himself. have always been anxious to prove
to the public that he Is natural-born fighter,

and put into condition. Now that have done

can to encourage it. but think ring fighting
Is too brutal, and want to see no more OF 1t,
