while the holders of gilt-edge tickets, at
SIS each, were disembarking and
scrambling for chances of advantage
at the ring side, the $40 peo-
pie on the second train were
also having experience, between New
Orleans and the battle ground, which it
did not reach until o'clock after sew
eral veXatious and long delays. The
locomotive did not have power enough
to draw the train up grade or round
curves. The coaches were also in poor
running order. In five minutes after
the appearance of this train the amphi-
theater was a packed mass of eager
and perspiring humanity, something
like 5000 in number. By this time
friendly cloud spread over the
face of the run and tempered the burn
ing rays. The crowd waited patiently
and in good humOr. Many were hungry;
all thirsty and tired, but there was no
relief except at the hands of a colored
man, who peddled cheese sandwiches
of doubtful age at Is cents apiece.
Another colOred man peddled water at
cents cup. while some beer sold for
25 cents glass.
Kilrain was toeing the scratch when
Donovan. his second, threw up the
sponge, thus declaring Sullivan the vic
tor. Kilrain was by no means satisfied,
but, Notwithstanding his protestations,
he was bundled upin a black shawl and
hurried to a carriage in waiting. Kill
rain, Donovan, Butler, Murphy and
Mitchell drove rapidly to the train and
entered their car. Sullivan, Muldoon
and Cleary entered the first coach.
When Kilrain had seated himself he
was soon surrounded by host of SYM
pathizing friends, who consoled him
for his misfortune.
KILRAIN WEPT LIKE A CHILD,
and continued exclaiming, "I'd him
beaten!" A large crowd followed the
hacks and remained standing around
the coaches in which Sullivan and Kill
rain were. Mr.. Stevenson, who had
been Kilrain's friend throughout, re-
manned by his side and sponged him, oc-
casionally giving him drink of whisky
and water. Kilrain would not be con-
soled, but continued to bemoan the loss
of the battle which he had hoped
to win. Prof. Michael j. Dono-
van, of the New York Athletic
club, who so ably seconded Kilrain:
Prof. Dennis Butler, of the Southern
Athletic club, and Johnnie Murphy,
bottle-holder, remained beside their
principal. one relieving the other in
ministering to his comfort and relief.
None felt the defeat of Kilrain more
than did these people, and Prof. Dono.
van stated that though Kilrain did not
want to throw up the sponge he con-
cluded to do so, for bis principal was
exhausted from the heat and exer-
else as well as from the punishment he
had recsived, but had so nobly stood.
| Charley Mitchell, Kilrain's trainer, held
himself aloof from him, however, but
| there were many other friends of Kill
rains there to take his place. AS soon
as the two gladiators and other friends

the train moved off at rapid

At times he would brighten up a little
and smile, but these occasions were
rare. His face did not betray the great
punishment he had received at the hands
of his big antagonist He had a cut
under the nose across both lips, and his
left eye was slightly discolored and
swollen. His right hand had been in
jured by blow on Sullivan's head and
his left instep had been cut by the
