Sullivan held sway as the king of glove wielders have simi. lar scenes and excitement been ere. ated by the advent of fighter.
 The days trip was made amid a succession of spontaneous receptions Word of the approaacl of the new champion was flashed ahead and ey- anywhere flags and bunting were flying, bands playing and hundreds waiting in the heat at stations be tween Daytona, Fla, and Savannah. Ca. At every crossroad and depot were throngs numbering from a few score to thousands.
 Although Willard answered every call for his appearance and repeated ly made short speeches, as the day wore on his response to calls gre W slower a sthe larger cities were en- tered, and he adopted several arti- fees to evade shaking hands with hundreds of men who crowded aboct the car. Willard wrapped his right hand in bandages at one station and al another hung his arm in a sling, for he complained that the hand that knocked out Johnson was growing sore from the repeated grips of ad- mirers.
 At St. Augustine, Fla. when a gath ering of some thousands headed by a band stormed the train. one excited individual cried;
 Hey, Jess, show us the fist that knocked out Johnson
 When Willard held u1 his cl-nched hand which looked as big as q small ham, the crowd howled with delight.
 Jacksonville witnessed another big turnout, the depot being packed and roofs of buildings overlooking the yards were thick with men and boys,
 Just before reaching Savannah, Ga. where another great gathering cheered Willard. it was reported that the pugilist had been offered $l00.00 for his share of theatrical receipts for the next year. Willard refused to discuss the report.
