| Kilrain was gradually growing weaker. His
| blows had no strength in them. and his left side
| was evidently giving him considerable pain.
| He pursued his usual tactics of retreatng when

| crowd against the alleged champion of the

THROWS UP THE SPONGE.
When time was called for the seventy
sixth round, Mitchell ran over TO Sullivan's
| corner and asked if he would give Kilrain
a present, provided they would throw I'D
the sponge. Sullivan generously answered,
"Of course l will;" but Mike Donovan, see
ing the condition of his principal, to save
him further punishment, threw up the
sponge, and Sullivan had again proven his
title TO champion of the world. The only
marks on Sullivan were slight
| cut under the right eye and another
on the left ear. Kilrain's body showed the
| effect of Sulivan's blows, and he was
bleeding at the ears, nose and mouth. Both
men were hurriedly conveyed to the train
by their friends and given attention. Sui
livan's condition was superior to Kilrain's.
the latter looking as if he had been over
trained. At no time, excepting when Sulli-
vans stomach gave evidence Of weakness,
was there donbt as to the final result of
the fight.
Sullivan wore green knee breeches, white
socks and spiked shoes. The American
flag encircled his waist like a sash, but did
not cover the pine pitch plaster heretofore
described. Kilrain wore similar one, but
not so perfectly adjusted as Sulivan's.
Kilrain was aLtired in black tights, blue
socks and spiked shoes. When Kilrain's
bare form was displayed to the multitude
there were audible expressions of disap-
polntment. His skin was pale sickly hue,
his chest narrow. and the muscles Of
his arms somewhat too salient. 1t is
claimed that he weighed 1876 pounds,
and that his antagonist tipped the beam at
205. This is hardly credible. There was
not less than twenty-five to thirty pounds
difference in weight in Sullivan's favor.
The earlier rounds Of a prize
fight are not as revolving as is
ordinarily supposed. During the entire
progress of the seventy-fiftb round neither
combatant showed outward signs Of severe
physical punishment. There was not that
abundant flow Of claret from the nose and
mouth which embellishes accounts of
scraps" between third rate fighters.
INJURIES OF THE sLUGGERs.
Sullivan had his ear split, both his eyes
bunged, his neck scratched and both hands
disabled, but evinced no outward symptoms
of suffering. Kilrain's lip was cut, his left
ear smashed and his short ribs severely
pounded, but he bled 30 a very inconsidera-
BILE extent, and only big bruise, the size
of q mans hand, showed where Sullivan's
