The return is far less impressive than the set
ting out. Precipitation has soaked the clothing
of all the men and is streaming from their faces;
the dogs, with protruding tongues and steaming
tanks, seem even more exhausted than the
men. Sullivan and his trainers 60 at once to
the barn, where all strip and, after little pre-
liminary rubbing down, dash beneath the
shower OF briny water, playing in it like school
boys in a swimming hole. The sight is one to
please the old gods with their admiration of
physical beauty and strength. II Hercules
himself were no bigger and brawnier than the
old sculptors made him, the Sullivan of to-day
could pick him up and break him in two across
the knee like stick.
Stripped for the bath, he stands erect and stall
wart as an oak tree. His feet long, but not
large in proportion to his size, are firmly rooted
on the floor, the toes well formed and spread
ing out, not punched together. In spite of the
long walk and run there are no marks ON the
feet beyond little redness at one or two places
where the shoes have chafed the skin, The
ankles are gracefully built and solid looking
without any sign of clumsiness; the feet work
freely upon them, and the tendons at the back
as big as they ought to be. They are the only
weak point in the mans physique. The shins
are rough and hairy and marked with some
scars where they have been injured in previous
fights.
Above the knees the limbs broaden ont rap
idly, and the upper parts Of the thighs are big
and sinewy as 1efits the giants to whom they
belong. The skin is clear and rosy, the flesh
solid as iron to the touch, and the movement
Of the muscles with each step 10 o. firm and
steady as the motion Of piece Of machinery.
The thighs broa9,n into hips that, with the
loins above, are the most marvellous part Of
the mans outward anatomy. People have
thought that Sullivan was too big about the
stomach, and at times he may have been 90,
but inches Of that bigness has now been
removed, and the giant structure Of that part
Of the mans frame stands out clearly. The
hips are massive, and shove them, where most
men slope In 70 the narrower waist, there are
lower part Of the body together in . bandage
