train. for they want to reach Boston
before the morning.
Mr.. Murphy, with his men, left Phil
adelphia yesterday. and he continued
his travel until he arrived in Worces-
ter. While his men remained on the
train to continue their way to Boston,
he stepped off and was met by Patrick
h Hurley, proprietor of the Sherwood
House, who was there to meet him
Mr.. Murphy's intention when he left
the train al the depot was 10 visit sew
eral of his friends in this city, as it
has been long time since he has been
here. MI Hurley accompanied him to
the hotel, where many old time friends
were waiting TO see the well known
trainer in athletics. After a hearty
handshaking by all who We're in wait
ing for him, the party adjourned to
the parlor of the hotel and enjoyed an
informal smoke talk.
Murphy looks the same as he has
Tor several years past, and he enjoys
the best of health. All kinds of ques-
tons were put to him by his friends
regarding his material at Pennsylva-
MA, but he was little reticent tow
ards saying anything about their abil-
tiles. He said, however, that the school
contained several good men who were
booked to do wonders before she COM
ing season ended, and he was thor
oughly satisfied with the men fur
nished him.
