NEW YORK. June 1.-Kilrain is here,
and in apparently good health after his
ocean voyage. He arrived late last
night on the Adriatic after long. tedi-
Gus trip across the deep blue sea. Ac-
companying him are Charley Mitchell.
Mrs. Mitchell. and little Mitchell and
Pony Moore. Charley's fatber-in-law,
the ex-minstrel and famous sporting
man, who is going TO back KilraIn with
lots Of hard gold from the other side,
and which he stands a good chance of
leaving on this side of the water.
There was no demonstration over
the arrival of the Baltimore man for
two reasons. First, and most important.
he is on his way home. where he is
going 10 attend the funeral of his mo
Their, who died recently and whose
body has been embalmed and kept until
her sons arrival from England. Sec
ondiy, Kilrain asked that no public re-
ception be given him. because he
wanted to keep quiet until after the
fight.
The few personal friends who saw
him when he came off the steamer say
that he is in splendid condition, and
that he will make a good showing |
when the time comes for him 10 get up
and stand the fight from the champion /
He has been under a mild course of /
training in England since he has been /
away. and viii now 20 in for hard .
work as soon as he settles down at his
home in Baltimore.
