of the great mill, which he expresses
with uncommon sequency. Checked
suits, straw hats, russell shoes and
flannel shirts are the prevailing
costumes of these gentry. Many
of them bear marks on their faces of
hard scraps, and frequently an ear or
piece of nose is found missing. The
former aristocratic guests of this hotel,
if they could reappear upon the scene
now, would instinctively feel down to
see if their watches and money were safe
in their pockets. KiIrain, accompanied
by Charley Mitchell, came to the hotel
about l o'clock and was followed by
numerous crowd which was anxious to
get sight of the man who is to
STAND UP BEFORE SULLIVAN.
They did not linger long, and the
crowd that followed them in likewise
already we'll filled with visiting sports,
and no doubt suitable Accommodations
will be at premium. 1t is understood
that the first train that departs for the
battle ground will pull out about l
o'clock Monday morning, to be followed
one hour later by the second tram,
which will contain spectators. Those
who are here to witness the fight will
get no sleep Sunday night, and it is ex-
pected that both men will enter the ring
between 6 and 8 o'clock Mon
day morning. Sullivan continues
hot favorite, and, barring
accidents, the general impress
ton prevails that he will win. Although
the excitement in sporting circles has
been at fever heat in this city for the
past few days, Kilrain's expected ar
rival this morning raised the excitement
to boiling pitch. Up to this day the
big Boston slugger had everything his
own way as far as public opinion went,
and it was hoped by Kilrain's friends
that his arrival would cause change in
favor of their favorite. At an early
hour this morning the members of the
reception committee of the Southern
Athletic club, and Frank Stevenson,
William NJ. Harding. Mike Donovan,
Prof. Dennis D. Butler and sew
eral others were at the Queen
and Crescent depot and boarded
the special train which was to pro-
ceed out on the road to meet the Kill
rain party. At 7:15 this special train
left the depot, and reaching Pearley,
they waited the arrival of the Kilrain
train. At $50 the south-bound train ar
rived at Pearley station, and the recep-
tion party boarded the train and were
introduced to Jake Kilrain, Charlie
Mitchell; Pony Moore, London min
strel performer, and father-in-law of
Mitchell; John Murphy, bottle holder;
and Joseph Roche. of Baltimore. Cor
dial greetings were exchanged between
parties, and the train proceeded to the
city. Kilrain, who was suffering from
A CINDER IN HIS EYE,
was quiet and reserved and appeared
ill at ease at the reception he had re-
ceived. He appeared inclined to shun
observation, but when addressed his
face frightened and he answered all
questions cheerfully. In the meantime
very large crowd of people had gath
cred at the Queen and Crescent depot
in the city, and the greatest impatience
was manifested by them. They were
uncertain wether the escort would
take Kilrain off at Gentilly crossing,
about three miles out of the city, as had
been done with Sullivan, or whether he
would be brought to the city. AS the
train drew in and Kilrain was on board,
great cheer was given, and the
crowd swarmed about the coaches.
The services of the police were called
into reQuisition to disperSe the crowd
and open up passage way for Kilrain
and party, who therenpon made their
way to the carriages which were in
waiting. After having entered the car
riages the party were driven up Royal
street to st. Charles street, thence up
Washington avenue to the rooms of the
Southern Athletic club, at the corner of
| Prytamia and Washington avenue. All
along the streets the sidewalks were
lined with people anxious to see the
Baltimore champion, and at the gym
nasium a very large crowd had congre-
| gated. Kilrain, Mitchell, Pony Moore.
Murphy, Joe Roche, after alight-
ing from the carriages. proceeded to the
!! residence adjoining the gymnasium.
