first time since July 3, when he lett for
the scene of the great battle which de-
cided for time the pugilistic champion
ship p OF the world. He left New York al
J. O'Clock yesterday morning and came
directly to Baltimore in company with
Johuny Murphy, his faithful bottle
holder and friend.
Kilraln shows no external marks OF
his experience with Sullivan except
slight bruise about the right eye, which
would not be noticed On the street. He
has taken on great deal OF flesh during
his railroaiing and dodgirg to keep out
OF the clutches of sherils armed with
warrants from Governor Lowry, and

pounds. dis lace has healthy color,
and his hands are not swollen beyond
their ordinary size.

"That was all bosh about my being sick

in Arkansas. The fact is, l am feeling

ell IN France, ald declares that tn, big
fellow was not by any means the man
whom the Englishman fought to a draw
when lie entered the ring at Richburg.
He says that Sullivan had the advantage
of careful training ty an expert, such as
he comedies Mulcopn to be- lie was
strong ard in robust health.
Kirain himself SAYS he was feeling
pretty well when be started i'll, but
believes that one OF the chief causes
which operated against him was the
neglect Mitchell showed him just pre-
v!ous to the battle. He did not sleep In
the same bed in New Orleans any two
nights in succession, and had no ehancc
to eat his regular meals. His lighting
traps were left behind when he started
for the battle ground, and the mistake,
he says, caused him no little iIcon-
venience. Jake taid he preferred not to
talk too much about the manner in
which he was handled previous to the
fight, as the affair is definitely sett ed and
1t would do no good. His friends, how
ever, asserted almost with one voice that
his imperfect training was responsible
for the 10 of the battle, and he made no
effort to deny their charges.
ANOTHER CHALLENGE FOR SULLIVAN.
When asked what he proposed to do in
the future, Kilrain replied that he had
not made any arrangements. He de-
clared that lie needed rest ana time to
think over his course. II mean to chal-

MULDooN DISCUSSES SULLIVAN.
Muldoon talks bitterly of John l..
faced loaier," says MuldooD, "as l
ever had anything to do with. All these
stories about is great love for his par
cuts an I his generosity are the ysriest
bosh. The matter With Sullivan is that
he hasn't got any brain. After the Gght
the p oprietor OF the spanlsh Fort, q re-
sort Just out of New Orleans, cent word
to Sullivan that he would give him 81 500
II he would appear there once and be In
troduced to the patrons OF the place. 'He
can go to thunder, was eulivan's re-
eponse. The next day the proprietor
called on the big fellow and offered him
the entire receipts Of the place, with a
guarantee that the amount would rot be
less than 5 800. Sullivan declined this
oiller just rs brutally as he did the first.
This Will give you an idea OF his business
ability.
That he Is giving full play to his low
tastes now IL clear from The character OF
the neighborhood which he is frequent !
Ing In Chicago. This talk about his be-
ing tempted to drink by friends is bosh.
He drinks in order to satisfy craving
for liquor, and not because he is q good
fellow"
Muldcon YVES asked concerning the
stake money and what share of it Su'li-
van would probably receive. "His share
will be mighty SMALL was the reply,
"unlcss he stops drinking. He has no
right to a penny OF it, but both johnson
and Wakely, I understand, were resolved
to give him their share of 1t. UIder tho
circumstances the money might lust MS
well be thrown into the gutter. II it was
given to him lie would probably spend il
In drinking saloons and lie 8 respectable
resorts. 1t is not likely that very large
amount Of money will be given him at
once, but that small sums will be doled
out to b III at different times"
