into the air. men cheered until they were
threatened with apoplexy. and then came
the demand:
Speech, speech, give US speech"
But the conductor waved bis hand i'm
perauvely to the man at the throttle the
engine gave shrill to0t and the train
pulled slowly out Of the yard, starting It's
trip to the Crescent city.
'aGood luck, old mans''
Give him a punch for me, John,
KNOCK his head of, Sully," were some OF
the goodbye cries.
The great pugilist was up at $50 O'Clock
yesterday morning and al once went to
work on the bag. John was not in the best
OF humor today, and closed his twenty
minutes exercise with q vicious swing at
his leathern. After shower bath and ru
down, Sullivan went TO work with the
skipping rope He kept st IL steadily, and
g2T times had been tailed when he stopped.
AT this exercise Sullivan shows to bad ad-
vantage. 1t is hard work for him. and his
resolnte face grows almost CHASTITY under
tie strain. After another shower bath and
rub down. be again attacked The rope and
skipped 523 times, q total of J, 1876 for the
morning. He threw the rope away saw
Bgely and notified his handlers:
That's all I'll do today"
After a breakfast Of chops, broiled
chicken and iced tea, he retired to his
room, and Phil Casey went on guard down
stairs, refusing 10 let anyone see his
charge. Sullivan spent the morning look
ing over newspapers, blue-penciliug para
graphs that ne wanted the Japanese valet
to put into scrap book, and put in q couple
Of hours rehearsing his part Of Captain
aarcourt" al the Holmes Star theatre.
Phil Casey had several firemen weigh
Sullivan after his morning work, the
scales showing 2I0 pounds. Strangely
enough Sullivan thinks he will lose weight
on the trip down, and jim Dunn offered to
bet $500 that the big fellow viii only
weigh 205 pounds when he steps from the
car at New Orleans Saturday evening.
This would seem against all laws OF train
ing and nature, but the pugilists handlers
are positive that They will take the weight
of, SO some unusual course will probably
be taken while the train is speeding along.
Phil Casey said that all reports of dis
satisfaction between him and Sullivan
were unfounded. He is the easiest OF
men to handle" he added, ''snd there has
existed the best of feeling between Us. In
deed our contract would admit OF nothing
else, for il stipulated that when be-
60 al once, and il John found fault with
me ne was privileged to cut short our re-
lations.n Casey is thoroughly satisfied
with the big fellows condition.
On the night of the Sullivan-Corbett
contest there will be 5000 persons in the
arena. Every box and reserved seat
has been sold, but on the outside there
will be twice that number of people, and
they will need to be controlled. For this
purpose the vice-president today made az
rangements with Chief of Police Cashier,
successor to Chief Hennessy, to furnish
$50 policemen to maintain order about the
club house. By Saturday night the arena
will have been completed, and every pre-
caution 10 prevent 'shokes" has been taken.
In and around the enclosure will be fifty
strong electric lights. However, should
some sporty gentlemen decide to trife with
this mysterious force and cut the wires in
the interest OF his favorite, twelve biR
oil Tampa will furnish sufficient light for
the com batants and enable the spectators
TO see fairly well
