their preference At the clubs to-day the
general sentiment was: I've hope Kilrain
VIII win" but when bet was offered, the
club men wanted two to one. Even the
women are similarly inclined, and their
sympathies are with the Baltimore man.
AT sULLIvAN's HEADQUARTERS.
AT Sullivan's headquarters to-day there
was no departure from the usual air of
quiet confidence. Among the visitors we're
Sheriff Mailer, Chief of Police Hughes OF
Louisville, Jack Barnett of New York, and
Charles L. johnson, one of Sullivan's
hackers. They were entertained in the
parlor downstairs by Muldoon, while Sui
llvan remained in seclusion on the floor
above.
NO BEANs ON HIS BILL OF FARE.
Sullivan passed lazy and luxurious day.
His appetite is enormous For breakfast he
ate good-si1ed broiled bass, five soft
boiled eggs, a half loaf of graham bread
and half dozen sliced tomatoes. The only
liquid he took was a cup of tea. After
breakfast Muldoon gave him shave, dur
ing the course of which he fell asleep, and
IN that condition Muldoon left him.
At l O'Clock he dined, consuming
his usual quota of three chickens.
with rice and chicken broth and half a loaf
OF broad. At 3:15 o'clock a carriage drove
up, into which Sullivan, Muldoon, Cleaty
and Dan Murphy entered, and were rapidly
driven to the Queen and Crescent depot,
where they embarked for the battle grounds.
KILRAIN's CONDITION.
There is still some conflict of opinion as to
Kilrain's condition, some think he is too
fat; others too lean. An Associated Press
reporter asked Tom Allen, the famous
puglllst, for his opinion. He said: IL am
for kilrain. His condition is good, but |
would like him better if he we're not so fat
like to see cheek bones sticking out"
SO there you are. The talent generally
consider Kilrain too light, and Allen thinks
too heavy. Everybody is at sea and betting Is
taking curious shoots. Bets are being made
| that Sullivan will win in less than six
| rounds Thus far little money has been
wagered here. the Kilrain men insist on
odds of TO /. Outsiders are willing to
concede 500 to SIS, but there is no disposi-
tion to close at these figures.
TROOPS TO BE SENT OUT.
New ORLEANS La, July z, Has p M
| At III o'clock tonight there was considera-
BILE excitement in the city over the pros
poets of military interference, and the two
military companies in the city, constituting
the state national guard had gathered to-
| gether about 100 men. 1t is stated on
reliable authority that Gov. Nichols
Will go out with the troops in
person. One company. it is understood.
Will take a chartered steamer at Milnburg
| and cross the lake to Home Island, where
the governor believes tie fight will take
| place, owing to its disputed state location,
while the other companies will proceed on
the train. Orders have also been posted
threatening soldiers who do not answer the
call with heavy fine and imprisonment.
MISSISSIPPI ON THE WATCH.
Word has been received from Bay ST.
| Louis, Miss, that company of troops
| from Mississippi had left there this morn
| ing for the dividing line between Louisiana
and Mississippi, where they will intercept
and arrest the principals in the fight if they
attempt to fight in the latter state. The
| sales at IL o'clock tonight of tickets to the
| ring side amounted to about $25, 600
Gov. Lowrey sleeps in peace tonight.
| Every station on all lines of railroad cross
! ing the border which divides Louisiana
| from Mississippi is guarded by militia under
instructions to arrest the principals should
they attempt to fight in Mississippi.
GETTING GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.
The principals, each attended by seven
| men, arrived at the battle ground about
| $3.50 o'clock. They will have a quiet night
| and will enter the ring at O'Clock refreshed
| by good nights sleep at Richburg, near
which point the ring las been pitched, l03
miles from New Orleans.

| mooted question as to which is the best
man, a few reflections on the manage
ment Of the mill will be very appropriate
Professional courtesy to the press fraternity
| has in many instances been ignored,
| and the result is that even the
| newspapers of this city have been
compelled to pay $40 and $15 for their reg
| ular employees to witness and report the
fight The Associated Press purchased
| tickets for more than half of their working
| force. The managers of the W estern Union
| Company in New Orleans became so dis
| gusted with the turn affairs have taken that
| this afternoon j. L. Fem, chief electrician
| of New York, sent the following
message to Capt. E. L. Taylor, superintend-
| ent Of transportation of the Northeastern
! Railroad Company: "We have determined
| to do nothing whatever about furnishing
| special telegraphic facilities at the fight.
| This is owing to the open expressed oppos-
tion and discourteous treatment of us by the
managers, who persistently refuse us in
| formation or accommodation"
The result is that no bulletins can or will
be sent from the ring. What report of the
! fight or its final result goes forward
| must be filed at he Western Union Office in
this city. The managers Of the fight seem
to have only one object in view, and that Is
| to squeeze the public out of the last dollar
| they can and give nothing in return beyond
| a chance to see the fight between the two
men, who are only doing tho bidding Of
! their hackers.
