walks were lined with people anxious to
see Baltimore's champion and at the
gymnasium q large crowd cOngregated.
Kilrain, Mitchell, Pony Moore, Murphy
and Joe Roche after alighting from their
carriages, proceeded to the rooms assigned
them in handsome residence adjoining.
Kilrain was ushered into one Of the
showered bathrooms where an Associated
Press reporter saw him stripped. Kilrain' S
flesh appeared white and very firm.
His muscular development is as per
feet as his anatomical idysonOcrasy
can allow. His chest is in proportion to
his uncommon height, while his back IS
markedly sinewy, and his arms are long
and symmetrical. His legs are well pro
portioned, with thighs and calves well
rounded and hard. After coming from his
bath, Kilrain and Mitchell returned to
their rooms, where prominent members of
the club presented kilrain with a floral
design of the crescent and anchor. Xii

responded gracefully and a sumptuous
lunch was then brought out. Kilrain
and Mitchell did not partake. At 2 o'clock

taurant, where dinner had been ordered
for the members of the Southern Athletic
club. Kilrain, who mad not eaten anything
for nearly twenty four hours and who was
ravenouSly hungry, ate good sized spring
chicken, after which he pathetically ap-
pealed to Mitchell, his trainer, to be al

parley a compromise was made upon
a small-sized broiied pullet, the whole
being washed down with three glasses of
champagne. After dinner I[ilrain, Nit

tered the carriage and took = drive along
the asphalt road on st. Charles avenue to
CarrOllton and returned to the gymnasium.
Among the prominent pugilists present
were D0minick McCaffcry, Billy Madden
and Prof Donovan. While the party were
examining the gymnasium, Mitchell was

I[ilrain stood the trip well, and all the talk
about his having drank 81 Cincinnati was
false. Kilrain has hot been i'll a ring since
1857 when he met Jem Smith. Since then
he had gained experience and was in far

The best judge Of kilrain's condition, he

he could do it at any time hereafter. lie
proposed to give Kiirail just enough eXe2-

stimulate his appetite.
The arrival OF the kilrain party has not,
as was expected, materially affected the
features of the situation. Sullivan stock

his hackers continues uuabated. At
