NEW YORK, July 20.-The great, the only
John L. has arrived. When No. 652, the
limited Chicago express, pulled into Jersey
City Friday evening, the big crowd which
lad been in waiting for over an hour nearly
crushed in the heavy iron gates that guard
TIE entrance to the Pennsylvania depot in
their effort to get glimpse of the champion
sullivan, who had paid SIS extra to have
state room to himself from the City of the
Lakes, was not going to risk his liberty at
The last momeut in this way. He slipped
IF the train before it came to full stop
some little distance up the track and before
MS car was really inside the station, and
where his friends Charley Johnson and
--Jlmmy Wakely, who were waiting with
closed carriage. met him.
The pugilist was driven over to Charley
,iohnson's place in Brooklyn first and taken
I'D stairs by the back way. He remained
there some little time, none being advised
Of his presence. There were half a dozen
hurried consultations between Wakeley,
Johnson and Jack Barnett and then It was
decided to take him to the Vanderbilt hotel
and keep him there quietly until yesterday
morning, when he was to leave for his
nome in Boston. He got into the hotel by
a private entrance aided by Barnett and
Takeley, undiscovered by a squad of re-
DorterS, who have made hotel life pleasant
for the other guests of the Vanderbilt dur
5ng the past few days, and reached his
room on the third floor.
Sullivan said to your correspondent:
I'm not drunk, and l haven't been on any
drunks;" and certainly, except for his
somewhat travel worn appearance, he
looks as well and as sober as when he got
INTO the ring with Kilrain the other day.

The late fight, from which blood flowed
freely, was undiscoverable last night. Sui
liyau had on a small silk travelling cap and
wore a linen buster over his expansive
flannel shirt. He did not want to talk. His
principal anxiety seemed to be to have all
impression that he arrived here drunk

Didn't you drink in Chicago, Johna'' he
vas asked.
mo more than you would if you were in
nv place was the reply. 81 didn't go on
any tear, though The whole cause of all
chose stories from Chicago was that
1 would not talk to Chicago reporters.
Perhaps they had d right to get sore, but If
had let one of them interview me, I'd
have had to let a hundred, and l tried to
