PREPARATIONS TO RECEIVE SULLIVAN
New ORLEANS, July 3.-As the day OF
battle draws near the excitement becomes
more intense and thousands of people
express themselves as being anxious to go
to the scene of the mill, no matter where
it takes place Enthusiasts engaged in
business are already laying the
foundation for sick headaches.
Stomach troubles, ETC., are frequent and
shrewd guessers have referred all these
com plants to a desire to see the fight on
Monday. Betting on the result was not
very lively to-day, there being plenty OF
Sullivan money, but little Kilraln money
insight. The Kilrain men are holding
back for the advent of the bookmakers
and knowing ones who are expected IN TO-
day. One bet of $500 to $3.50 on Sullivan
was placed to-day, aud bets of 500 to $40,
and 800 to $50 on Sullivan were offered,
but found no takers. the Sullivan men
are not offering these odds because they
undertake Kilrain, but because the latter
friends are shy just now. One friend OF
Kilrain's said it would be
impossible for man fed
on Boston baked beans to get away with
man fed on canvassback ducks and
Chesapeake oysters, and laid a small
wager on his opinion.
Professor Butler will have charge OIL
the ring police, who will number 200 men
They are to be sworn in on Sunday rex
at the office of the Spirit of the South
The managers of the fight gave assurance
that the utmost order would be main
