Kilrain's flesh appeared white and very
firm, his muscular development as per-
feet as

can allow. His chest is quite in proper
ton to his uncommon height, while
the back is markedly sinewy; his arms
are long and symmetrical; his legs as
well proportioned, with thighs and
calves we'll rounded and hard. Mitchell
plunged into the large tank and swan
around and sported in the waters for
fully twenty minutes. After emerging
from their bath Kilrain and Mitchell
returned to their rooms, where promi-
nent member of the club presented
Kilrain with a floral design of a
crescent and anchor. Kilrain, though
somewhat embarrassed, responded
gracefully, and sumptuous lunch
was then brought out. Kilrain
and Mitchell did not partake. but
Mitchell asked if fowl could be pro-
cured for Kilrain. He was answered
affirmatively, but upon the suggestion
of the members of the club it was de-
cided that the party should re-enter
their carriages and proceed to Moran's

hours, nd who was ravenOuSly hungry,

ell was interviewed. He said
that Kilrain was in good condition;
weighed 200 pounds; forty-three inches
around the chest and sixteen inches
around the biceps. His condition was
as good as man could be gotten into
this hot weather. Kilrain has stood the

ing drank at Cincinnati is false. Kilraln
has not been in the ring since Dec. 19,
1887, when he met Jem Smith. Since
then he has gained experience, and was
in far better condition than he then was.
He thought there was a big chance of
Kilrain's whipping Sullivan, notwith-
standing the talk about Kilrain's condi-
ton, which was all bosh. The best
judge of Kilrain's condition, he
said, would be Sullivan after
they meet.on Monday next. He Mitch

had repeatedly announced that he would

proposed hereafter to devote himself to

challenged him had he not known of
this determination. He should remem-

Dougherty, of Philadelphia, Kilrain's
physician, stated that he was in perfect

John Murphy, who is to be bottle-holder
for Kilrain, said that On Monday next
the greatest battle ever fought
would be witnessed, and that
Kilrain would win. He had
better wind, was stronger, had longer
reach, and was as clever, if not clever
er, than Sullivan. Kilrain felt like a
race horse, he continued, but his quiet
and reSe rved manner did not show it.
He was an easy-going man, but he
would be there when the time came.
If Mitchell had stood Sullivan's fight
for three hours and fifteen minutes,
Kilrain could whip him, he said.

and was neutral. He would make an
