did not reach until o'clock after sew
eral veXatiouS and long delays. The
locomotive did not have power enough
curves. The coaches were also in poor
running order. In five minutes after
the appearance of this train the amphi-
theater was packed mass of eager
and perspiring humanity, something
like 5000 in number. By this time
friendly cloud spread over the
face of the run and tempered the burn
ing rays. The crowd waited patiently
and in good humOr. Many were hungry:
all thirsty and tired, but there was no
relief except at the hands of a colored
man, who peddled cheese sandwiches
of doubtful age at Is cents apiece.

Kilrain was toeing the scratch when
Donovan. his second, threw up the
sponge, thus declaring Sullivan the vic
tor. Kilrain was by no means satisfied,
but, Notwithstanding his protestations,
he was bundled upina black shawl and
hurried to carriage in waiting. Kill
rain, Donovan, Butler, Murphy and
Mitchell drove rapidly to the train and
entered their car. Sullivan, Muldoon

When Kilrain had seated himself he

and water. Kilrain would not be con-

of the battle which he had hoped
to win. Prof. Michael ]. Dono-
van, of the New York Athletic
club, who so ably seconded Kilrain;
Prof. Dennis Butler, of the Southern
Athletic club, and Johnnie Murphy,
bottle-holder, remained beside their

ministering to his comfort and relief

than did these people, and Prof Dono.

had received, but had so nobly stood
Charley Mitchell, Kilrain's trainer, held
himself alOof from him, however, but
there were many other friends of Kill

as the two gladiators and other friends
had seated themselves in the coaches
the train moved off at rapid
rate. Kilrain appeared to be suffer
ing more from mental than phys
zeal injuries, and was very gloomy
At times he would brighten up a little
and smile, but these occasions were
rare. His face did not betray the grea
punishment he had received at the hand:
of his big antagonist. He had a GU
