They mingle freely and each has his opin-

Kilrain, accompanied by Charlie Mitch.
ell, 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 AGAINST SULLIVAN.
Kilrain, who was suffering from cinder
in his eye, was quiet and reserved, and ap-
peared i'll at ease a. the reception he had
received. He appeared inclined to shun
observation, but when addressed his face
frightened and he answered all questions
cheerfully. Meantime very large crowd
of people had gathered at the Queen and
Crescent depot in the city, and as the train
drew in and Kilrain was m 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 mp passage way for Kilrain and his
party, who thereupon made their way to
carriages which were in waiting. All
along the streets the sidewalks were lined
with people anxious to see the Baltimore
champion, and at the gymnasium large
crowd had congregated. Kilrain, Mitchell,
Pony Moore, Murphy and Joe Roche after
alighting from carriages proceeded to the
rooms assigned to them in the handsome
residence of the adjoining gymnasium.
KILRAIN's ANATOMY.
Kilrain was ushered into the shower
bath room, where the Associated Press re-
porter saw him stripped. Kilrain's flesh
appeared white aud very firm. His mus
cular development is as perfect as his
anatomical idiosyncracy can allow. His
chest is quite in proportion to his uncom.
mon hight. while his back is marked by
sinews. His arms are long and SYM
metrical. His legs are we'll proportional
with his thighs and his calves we'll rounded
and hard.
After emerging from their bath, Kilrain
and Mitchell returned to their rooms,
where the prominent members of the club
presented kilrain with floral design of a
crescent and anchor. Kilrain. somewhat
embarrassed, responded gracefully, and a
sumptuous lunch was then brought out
Kilrain and Mitchell did not partake
At O. clock kiiran's party were driven to
a restaurant, where dinner had been or
dered for the members of the Southern
Athletic Club. Kilrain, who had not
eaten anything for nearly twenty-four
hours, and who was ravenously hungry.
ate
GooD-sIzED SPRING CHICKEN,
After which he pathetically appealed to
Mitchell, his trainer, to be allowed a second
one. After some parley a compromise was
made upon smali-sized broiled pullet, the
whole being washed down with three
glasses of champagne.
After dinner kilrain, Mitchell, Pony
Moore and Joe Roche re-entered the car
| rage and took a drive along the asphalt
road on st. Charles avenue to Carrolton
and return.
When they reached the gymnasium,
| among the prominent pugilists present
were Dominick McCaffrey, Billy Madden
and Professor Donovan. While the party
were examining the gymnasium
MITCHELL WAS INTERVIEWED.
He said Kilrain was IN good condition,
weighed 200 pounds, was 43 inches around
the chest and is inches around the biceps
His condition was as good as man could
be gotten into this hot weather.
Kilraiu has stood the trip well, and all
| talk about his having drank at Cincinnati
is false
Kilrain has not been in the ring since
December 10, 1887 when he met Jem
Smith. Since then he had gained expert
| ence and was in far better condition than
chance of Kilraiu whipping Sullivan, not
withstanding the talk about Kilrain's con-
| dition. which was all bosh.
The best judge of Kilrain's condition, he
| said, would be Sullivan after they met on
Monday next.
Mitchell was satisfied with it now, and if
| Sullivan could beat him now he could do it
| any time hereafter. He proposed to give
Kilrain just enough exercise to keep his
blood in condition and stimulate his appe-
tite.
The arrival of the Kilrain party has not,
as was expected, materially affected the
features of the situation. Sullivan stock
| continues to go up, and the confidence of
his hackers continues undated At La
moths pool-room tonight one bet was
made of $3.50 to $75 that Sullivan would
| win. The bookseller announced that he
had more Sullivan money to place and at
the same odds, but there were no more
| takers.
MISSISSIPPI TROOPS.
the Times Democrat Jackson, Miss, spe-
cial says by the disposition made to-day of
the troops belonging to the National Guard
of Mississippi the several railroads leading
| into that State from Louisiana have been
covered so as to prevent if possible the
fight taking place in Mississippi
Steps have also been taken to secure the
arrest of the parties should thew by chance
manage to avoid the officers of the law
and fight in the State. The opinion pre-
| walls here that the vigorous methods
| adopted and put in force by Governor
| Lowery will deter the pugilists from at
| tempting to fight in Mississippi, but that
| they will fight in Louisiana.
Sullivan continues to improve with the
| approach of the momentous day which is
| to make or mar him forever. but Null
doom 8 watchfulness and scientific care has
| shown no abatement whatever. If Sulli-
van wins MuldooD's reputation as an I'M
| equaled trainer is established beyond the
| possibility of dispute or cavil. He found
| his man physical wreck, weakened by
disease and bloated by dissipation, and in
three months he has brought him to con-
| dition of physical perfection which is the
wonder of the pugilistic world. Men who
have known Sullivan all their lives and
seen him in all his battles declare he was
never in better condition in all his fistic
career.
| SULLIVAN BETTER THAN EVER.
Some even go so far as to assert that he
is better than ever. This view is open to
dispute, however, because of trifie too
much flesh about the region of the stomach.
| Inc Associated IreSS reporter called
| upon Muldoon this afternoon and found
him serenely confident.
Sullivan is all right" said he, ~ have
more at stake than anyone else--than Sui
livan himself-and 1 am satisfied with his
| condition. All i ask for now is for the
\ fight to come off. Sullivan weighs 200
pounds to-day and will probably take on
two pounds day more until the fight be-
gins, which will bring him up to 2O7
pounds. He is in excellent spirits, singing
and chatting merrily."
Sullivan will go into the ring wearing a
plaster of pine pitch, which will encircle
his body like woman's corset and cover
almost as much space. 1t is made of buck
skin and lined with pine pitch 1t is said
to have very bracing and strengthening
effect on those who wear it. The Associ-
ated Press reported asked Mitchell to-day
/ if the wearing of such plaster would fur
nish ground for technical objection. He
replied that it would not, leaving the i'm
preston on the reporter, mind that not
only Sullivan but Kilrain will go into the
ring braced up with pitch plaster.
| Sullivan spent to-day much the same as
yesterday. He rose at o'clock, took a
bath, ate breakfast, and afterward received
the attentions of barber. His breakfast
