} the party were examining the gymna } sium Mitchell was enterviewed. He 5 said Kilrain was in good condition
 weighted 200 pounds, 43 inches around

 the man could be gotton into this hot
 weather. Kilrain has stood the trip
 well. and all the talk of him having
 drank at Cincinnati is false. Kilrain has not been in the ring since December

 chance of Kilrain whipping sullivan
