BALTIMORE, July 2.-The rainy weather
yesterday kept the crowd OF visitors
away from Halstead's Pimlico Road
House, but despite the dowDpour Kilrain
went through his usual training. He
was rs bright and merry as school boy
In vacation time, and when he started for
six'mile tramp before supper willingly
accepted q wager offered by Johnny MUIR
ply that he would tire out the big pugi,
list. The two started away from the
hotel together on trot, Jake wearing q
pair OF pedestrian shoes that Mitchell
said he bet would make him squeal be-
fore he got back.
"Oh, no." replied Kllrain, tive are only
going on little jaunt OF elk or seven
miles"
The two returned about z O'Clock in q
dripping perspiration, with Murphy
leading, and looking as fresh ss dais GO
In o rain. The shoes had failed to get in
their work.
The finishing touches are being given
kilrain's training now, as the pugilist
and his trainers start South to- morrow
or Thursday. Kilrain and his party,
eonsisting Of Mitchell and Murphy, and
few Of Mitchell and Murphy's friends,
will have Pullman car 10 themselves,
but there will be no training en- route, as
Jake is now in perfect condition for the
hght, and the only thing requisite will be
to keep him up to the present mark.
To insure this Mitchell will look care
fully after his food on the cars and after
they arrive in New Orleans, and a sup
ply of water will be taken along that the
rick OF change In this necessary article
OF diet will be avoided. The time of the
departure OF the pugilists will be kept q
secret, as 1t Is their desire to avoid pub
licity and scene.
