In an interview last night Charlie Mitchell

MULDooN CONGRATULATED.
Muldoon has received many congratulations
for bringing Sullivan into the excellent condi-
ton he was in yesterday. He was in a self
satisfied mood when seen by a reporter this
morning, but would not say much. He ex-
pressed his qualification at the result of the
fight, and from his demeanor it is plain that be

JOE coBuRNs VIEWS.
Joe Coburn said the only thing that sur
prised him was that Kilrain was not knocked
out sooner than he was. This, however was
satisfactorily explained when the injury to Sui
livans hands was known. In his opinion Sulli-
van was not SO good a man at the present time
as he was In other years, but he felt satisfied
that he would never be asked to go into the
ring again to do battle. Muldoon and Cleary,
he said, deserved credit for the manner in
which they trained Sullivan.

between minor pugillsts has apparently been
entirely given up, and the chief desire of
everybody is to get home as quickly as possible
