The last two international fistic bat
ties under the old I .ondon prize ring
rules we're between Jake Kilrain and
Jem Smith, the then champion OF Eng
land, and a few months later the bat
tie between J ohm l.. Sullivan and
Charley Mitchell %z9}
KIlrain had challenged Sullivan in
this country, but th e ftbig fellow. was
loath to accept Richard X: Fox. who
is largely responsible for the emf
~nence ofboxing-aff in this coun-
try some twenty years ago, and who
backed Paddy Ryan against Sullivan,
came TO the front for Kilrain. and Of
fered to back him. against any man
living, fer 5000 or $4,000.
AS Sullivan did DOT show any in
clination to make the match, Fox sent
Kilrain off 10 England under the man"
agement OF Charley Mitchell. They
made a big sensatje n in England on
their arrival in 1887. but before going
to England a match was ratified with
Jem Smith. The articles called for a
fight in a twenty5four foot ring, Lon
don rules, with bare. knuckles. Kill
rain was TO receive $1,000 for expens-
cs and for training. This Was to be
for Foxs diamond championship belt.
The battle took place at the Isle des
Souveraines, river Seine, France, De-
cember 10, 1897. The battle lasted
LOG rounds, in which both men susr

were beaten out Of all semblance OF

quickly by reason of Jem Smith
knowledge of London rules, whereby
he gained quick falls. The battle
came to close owing to darkness
and against the wishes of Mitchell,
who was the, principal second for Kill
rain. George w. Atkinson, the ref
cree. ordered a draw.
Less than three months later came
the famous battle between Sullivan
and Mitchell! This took place at
Chantilly, France, March 10, 1855
Everything in connection with the
match and battle created an 1nterna-
tional sensation. Papers. were full of
news concerning the men.
The battle was for $4,000 side and
was for the worlds championship.
The fight lasted SO rounds, which
covered three hours, ten minutes and
SIS seconds. By mutual agreement 1t
was made a draw.

"A continuance of the antipathy OF

Politicians here effect to !. trace the
suit back to the old fight between
Gould and Cassatt.
The resolution was based upon the
common report and belief that the
roads are in bad combination and
are actually owned by the Pennsyl-
vania and that railroad is causing
: such arrangements to be made as
will injure the coal fields of West
Virginia controlled by the Davis-El-
kins syndicate. The New river field
is mentioned and Representative
Gaines is taking up the cudgel in its
behalf. Senator Elkns owns an enor-
nous quantity of coal in various parts
of West Virginia, and it is believed
here, that his activity in behalf OF
Gould and his West Virginia Central

projects has produced antipathy from
the Pennsylvania. He thus seeks re-
