a short distance away, where Sulliva a
was given good rundown and a sponge
salt water bath by BILLY" Morgan
"Billy" Pond and Ashton. His clothes
| were wet through, his pea jacket being
almost as moist as his underwear. He
was Immediately weighed, and it, was
discovered that he had taken off five
pounds. Clean underwear, trousers and
cutaway were brought in and Sullivan
| dressed. He then went to the dining
room and had breakfast, which con-
sisted of two big mutton-chops, a piece
ofsirloin steak weighing three quarters
| Of pound, stale bread and cup of iced
tea with portion of lemon juice. The
big fighter does not eat potatoes or any
other vegetables or milk while training.
| rest of half an hour, during which
John read the newspapers, followed.
Sullivan, Morgan and Pond threw and
caught the baseball for twenty minutes.
The big fellow played with the grace
and cleverness OF a professional. Five
games OF pool with Ashton followed, the
man OF knockouts pushing the ivory
balls around the table and into the
several pockets as accurately as De Orc.
A trip to the bowling alleys followed,
where John sent the wooden balls thun-
dering down the maple plane with the
| force of ball from a cannon, and tum-
bled tenpins down in great shape. His
average for three frames was 1S0 pins.
PLUNGE IN THE SURF.
A change of clothing followed, after
which towels and bathing costumes
cured and trip to Peconic bay, a mile
off, was enjoyed. Here the man whom
two-thirds of the people in the United
States think will best Corbett stripped
and plunged into the salt water. Sulli-
van is an excellent swimmer, and he
| padded around like boy who was out
for a good time. He swan about three
miles, being in the water about an hour
and half. Upon coming out he was
carefully rubbed down by Morgan and
Pond.
Casey, who was also in the 'sswim. -
cut his big toe on the rocks and bled
freely. He said it wasn't serious and
he did not think it would Interfere
with his going out with John L. in his
walks. 1t made him bit lame, how
ever. Sullivan in the meantime had
put on his black and white stripped
tennis suit, and the party returned to
the inn.
The champion went on the lawn and
threw and caught alternately Rugby
football with "Phil" Casey for twenty
minutes. This exercise over, the party
adjourned for dinner at O'Clock. The
work which the big fellow had done
gave him an appetite and he ate his
dinner with evident relish. 1t consisted
OF roast beef and roast mutton and iced
tea with lennon juice. A rest OF an
hour on the lawn in the cool shade of a
big elm tree followed. The champion
was in splendid humor, and he and
Johnston poked fun at each other in fine
style, making the other guests at the
hotel laugh heartily.
After this Sullivan with "Phil' Casey
made trip to the barn, where several
games OF handball were played. The
games were spirited, and John L..
showed that his two weeks of play with
Champion Casey had given him great
knowledge of the sport. The punching
ball was then placed in position and the
big pugilist danced about like a two
year-old. First he would jab it with
his left, then swing, now uppercut it,
duck out of it's way, then hit with right
and left, steadily for several minutes,
making it dance about like a merry-go-
round. His movements were quick and
full of dash, his aim accurate. He
worked around the bag very cleverly
and after being at twenty minutes he
seemed well satisfied with what he had
done.
FOUR ROUNDS WITH ASHTON.
Then he was rubbed down, only to
engage in a lively four round bout with
Jack during which upper cuts, jabs,
counters and swings chased each other
wit Iinh traIv II II.
champion was thoroughly worked up
and he dealt Ashton some ysry hard
ones on the wind and neck. He kept
the Providence lad on the move all the
time. Then he picked up a pair of
three pound dumb bells and exercised
with them for fifteen minutes. Another
rub down and change of clothing.
A brief rest was taken, followed by a
mile walk to the bay, where John l..
took two mile swim. He looked re-
markably we'll. As he stood on the
beach after coming out of the water his
muscles stood out like whipcords and
his skin was as smooth ae velvet. The
only part'of him that looked fat was in
the vicinity of his waistband. 1t has
gone down good many pounds during
the past three weeks, but there are
several pounds remaining which he can
lose and feel better after it. If he
keeps up his present system of training
he will have no trouble in getting rid Of
it.
On returning to the inn Sullivan
again changed his wearing apparel, this
time putting on his sweaters and heavy
working clothes. A six mile Jog along
the Bay Head road to within a short
distance of Southampton was taken.
JOHNS TERRIFIC APPETITE.
John was again wen rubbed down,
followed by saltwater sponge bath.
He said he felt much invigorated and
went TO supper. John has great appe-
tite and when he is hungry heaven help
the other fellows who fail to make con-
nectiou with the table before he arrives.
He generally sweeps everything before
him in the line of food he is permitted
to enjoy.
His meal consisted of an inviting lay
out of mutton chops and sirloin steak,
washed down with iced tea and lemon
juice. He then enjoyed read and a
feet of an hour. Several games of pool
followed. He retired at haH-past nine.
Such ia the daily training which Sulli-
van expects will put him into the proper
condition to beat Corbett.
: He has enough wearing apparel and
shoes to start new clothing store. 1t
would give Baxter-street merchant
heart disease to see the outfit spread
out on the lawn being aired every morn
