as strong as steel and as supple as rubber.
Over the abdoraen the muscles stand out IN
tense ridges with each drawing in of the
breath, and beneath the smooth skin they
seem TO flicker with each movement Of the
body above.
There IL little waist, and the muscles Of the
loins seem to fade away back into the thick
layers Of muscles that coat the upper back and
reach around to cover the huge chest. That
back would make the fortune Of a sculptor.
half each side Of the spine. They are not
shapeless punches and bundles of sinews, but
undulating masses betokening uniform and
perfect development Of every part At the
shoulders they increase in thickness and form
great lunches that wrap the whole shoulder
blade and reach around 70 the chest and down
onto the upper arm. In front the swelling chest
stands out until the man seems almost ss broad
under the arms as he is across the back. In
deed, when he purposely throws his chest out
there Is little difference, by actual measurement,
in the thickness of his body either way through.
Between the shoulders the neck sets low
and as solidly and firmly as BELTS a neck
planted into such wonderful masses OF muscle.
1t supports head well carried and handsome
in spite of the tough-looking face. The arms
are well proportioned as to length, and are
models Of perfect physical development,
swelling from the shoulder to the elbow, solidly
built there and with well-shaped forearm
down to the wrists. One wrist ia still crooked
from the break it got in the battle with
Mitchell. Sullivan claims that il never troubles
him, however. The hands are not large in pro-
portion to the body, but are big enough and
have been hardened and developed by training
until they seem nothing but thick layers of
sinews over the bones. The knuckles are not
prominent, and the list doubled together makes
solid lump, with no sharp projections to be
damaged by a hard blow. 1t is hard to see
how Sullivan could smash his hand badly ex-
cept with blow with the back of the fist.
WELL DEVELOPED EVERYWHERE.
Over the smooth, evenly developed masses
OF muscles that betoken the perfect strength of
the man there is a skin as clear and rosy and as
smooth as that of q woman. From his knees to
his neck there is not a blemish nor mark upon
him. The skin is a mask of velvet over the
iron muscles beneath. Watching him at the
bath, the wonder is at the evenness with which
he is developed. Every part of tine body is in
proportion except the two small calves, and,
more than this, his whole being works together
like piece of machinery Of which all the parts
are interlinked. A motion Of the arm sends the
muscles playing beneath his smooth skin clear
to his feet. There seems to be an instant and
simultaneous adjustment of the whole body To
each change in the position Of any part of it.
In the hard and varied training to which they
have been subjected ii is evident that each part
has had its chance at development, and that al
alike have been built up and trained to work
togetner. MuldOon and Cleary are Dotn we'll
built men, and have been trained almost al
thoroughly as Sullivan by the work they have
had to do in getting him ready, but beside him
they seem lop-sided and imperfect specimens
Of manhood Each is his superior in one point
or another, but neither has the general perfec-
ton that marks the gigantic frame of Sullivan
Sullivan's training will last up to the very
hour of the fight. Until he steps into the ring
he is absolutely under Muldoon's care. Then
his seconds take him and Muldoon's RESPONSE
bility ends There will be no slack up in the
exercise until the day Of the fight The party
will leave Belfast on July 2, and will be some
two or three days on the way to New Orleans
but training will be continued in a baggag,
car fitted up as gymnasium. After the star
all the cooking for Sullivan will be done b,
Muldoon himself. and there will be every pos
sible precaution taken to prevent the chang,
of climate or of diet from working any harm
to the man, who, by that time, on account o
the thoroughness of his training, will be in
! condition to be easily affected by such a cause
No trouble in getting away is anticipated b,
Sullivan or his hackers but several OF the news
papers in towns about Belfast are urging tina
| the fighters ought TO be arrested under the la,
forbidding persons to leave the state for tn
purpose OF engaging in prize fight.
