Kilrain has been fairly, squarely, honestly and hon- orably whipped in a contest in which the beaten man has no cause to be ashamed of his defeat. There is no manner of doubt that Jake Kilrain is a game man and a fighter, and the men who saw him fight to-day will put up JOIIN L.SULLIVAN. flielr money on him the next time he enters the ring against any livingman except Sullivan. No account of this much-talked-of contest will be com- plete unless the thread of the narrative is taken up at the time of the departure of the first train from New Orleans Monday morning at 1:30 o'clock. The rush for admission to the $15 coaches was something indescribable. It took nearly two hours to seat the $15 ticket holders, but there was not room for all of them, and some had to occupy camp-stools in the aisles. The anxiety to see the fight amounted almost to a frenzy, and those who were with- out the means to pay $10 or $15, the price of transportation and admission, took the chances of losing their lives in attempting to steal a ride. Just before the ?15 train started from New Orleans It was discovered that scores of men and boys had concealed themselves on the cross-beams connecting the wheels, while others hung on the long iron rods connecting the trucks. The greater number, however, were perched on the roofs of the cars. They were driven off with difficulty. The KINO WAS riTCHED AT RICHIU'RG in a clearing on the edge of a pine for- est, near the little village which is 102 miles from New Orleans, and 98 from Meridian, Miss. The ring was pitched on a patch of green turf, and surrounding it on the three sides w°re tiers of seats ten feet high. The gen- eral aspect of the crowd was anything but tough. The hoodlum element was largely outnumbered by an eminently respectable crowd. Professional men, merchants, bankers— some from New Orleans, others from neighboring states —were present to a preponderating de- gree. Many of the spectators came from points as far distant as San Fran- cisco in the West, and New York and Boston in the East. But these were Mostly of the sporting variety. And while the holders of gilt-edge tickets, at $15 each, were disembarking and scrambling for chances of advantage at the rine side, the $10 peo- ple on the second train were also having experience, between New Orleans and the battle ground, which it did not reach until 9 o'clock after sev- eral vexatious and long delays. The locomotive did not have power enough to draw the train up grade or round curves. The coaches were also in poor running order. In five ininntes after the appearance of this train the amphi- theater was a packed mass of eager and perspiring humanity, something like 8,000 in number. By this time a friendly cloud spread over the face of the run and tempered the burn- ing rays. The crowd waited patiently and in good humor. Many were hungry; all thirsty and tired, but there was no relief except at the hands of a colored man, who peddled cheese sandwiches of doubtful age at 15 cents apiece. Another colored man peddled water at 5 cents a cup. while some beer sold for 25 cents a glass. Kilrain was toeing the scratch when Donovan, his second, threw up the sponge, thus declaring Sullivan the vic- tor. Kilrain was by no means satisfied, but, notwithstanding his protestations, he was bundled up ina black shawl and hurried to a carriage in waiting. Kil- rain, Donovan, Butler, Murphy and Mitchell drove rapidly to the train and entered their car. Sullivan, Muldoon and Cleary entered the first coach. When Kilrain had seated himself he was soon surrounded by a host of sym- pathizing friends, who consoled him for his misfortune. KILKAIN "WEPT LIKE A CHILI), and continued exclaiming, "I r d him beaten!" A large crowd followed the hacks and remained .standing; around the coaches in which Sullivan and Kil- rain were. Mr. Stevenson, who had been Kilrain's friend throughout, re- mained by his side and spongea him,oc- casionally giving him a drink of whisky and water. Kilrain would not be con- soled, but continued to bemoan the loss of the battle which he had hoped to win. Prof. Michael J. Dono- van, of the New York Athletic club, who so ably seconded Kilrain; Prof. Dennis Butler, of the Southern Athletic club, and Johnnie Murphy, bottle-holder, remained beside their principal, one relieving the other in ministering to his comfort and relief. None felt the defeat of Kilrain more than did these people, and Prof. Dono- van stated that though Kilrain did not want to throw up the sponge he con- cluded to do so, for his principal was exhausted from the heat and exer- cise as well as from the punishment he had received, but hid so nobly stood. Charley Mitchell, Kilrain's trainer, held himself aloof from him, however, but there were many other friends of Kil- rain's there to take his place. As soon as the two gladiators and other friends had seated themselves in the coaches, the train moved off at a rapid rate. Kilrain appeared to be suffer- ing more from mental than phys- ical injuries, and was very gloomy. At times he would brighten up a little and smile, but these occasions were rare. His face did not betray the great punishment he had received at the hands of his big antagonist. He had a cut under the nose across both lips, and his left eye was slightly discolored and swollen. His right hand had been in- jured by a blow on Sullivan's head and his lett instep had been cut by the spikes on Sullivan's shoes, which cut through the leather of Kilrain's left shoe. He had received terrible punish- ment about the ribs and doubtless suf- fered considerable pain, but he gave NO VOICE TO HIS AGONY, ifany he endured. He claimed tohave been more overcome by heat than by the blows of Sullivan. Referring; to the fight, Kilrain said that he had not been trained properly and that he was not in condition when he entered the ring, and this seemed to be the im- pression of every one who saw him when he entered. He would work and get some money together again, he said, and would once more make a trial for the cham- pionship. He had Sullivan "done" twice, he continued, but he had not been properly trained, and was unaole to take advantage of this, but he was willing to fight Sullivan again. He punched Sullivan several times and did not seem to hit him, and he labored under the impression that something must have been done to him in other words, that he had been drugged. He did not have the strength of a cat, but could stand any amount of punish- ment but could not inflict any, and THE CHAMPION BELT. he could see that his blows were not hurting Sullivan. He complained of the manner in which Sullivan had de- liberately jumped upon him with both feet while he was down, but he should not find fault with this, as he had trusted too much to his friends. One of those around him exclaimed reproach- fully, "Some of your friends you should say." "Sullivan was done for twice," he said, "but he was also, and could not take advantage of his adversary's condition." Kilrain laid down on the seat with his feet stretched across to the opposite seat, and covering being placed over him he fell asleep. When the train was crossing the trestle about eighteen miles from the city, Mitchell, for the first time, entered the car and Kilrain awoke. About a mile beyond Gentilly, while the train was at a stand- still, KILRAIN REPROACHED MITCHELL for the condition he was in when lie entered the ring. Mitchell replied and quite a crowd gathered around the two men. Mitchell attributed Kilrain's de- feat to its being one of his off days. A number of sporting men who knew Kilrain well, and had seen him in train- ing at Baltimore, remarked that some- thing must have been the matter with him, for they had never seen him hit so feebly as he did to-day. Johnnie Mur- phy said it was not Sullivan who knocked Kilrain out, but the sun, for Sul- livan did not hurt him much. Kilrain's condition, he thought, was mysterious, and he was overtrained besides. Prof. Butler declared that he had announced his belief in Kilrain and he had stuck to him through thick and thin. Mitchell had dropped him like a dog when the fight went against him, but this would not be the case with his other friends. When the train reached the station two carriages were procured for the party. Kilrain was conducted to a Russian bath and afterwards retired to rest. When Sullivan removed his sweater, revealing his magnificent torso, pink with the glow of health and the perfection of condition, his chest and back looked as big as the side of a house, and an invol- untary buzz of admiration circulated through the crowd. When Kilrain's bare form was displayed to the multi- tude there were audible expressions of disappointment. His skin was of a pale, sickly hue, his chest narrow and the muscles of his arms somewhat too salient Shrewd observers thought him a shade too fine, and it was painfully evident that he was UO MATCHFOR SULLIVAN, either in condition or physical power. It is claimed that he weighed 195 pounds and that his antagonist tipped the beam at 205. This was hardly credible. There was not less than twenty-five or thirty pounds difference in weight in Sul- livan's favor. In the language of a comically inclined observer: "He looked as if he weighed a ton." The earlier rounds of a prize fight are not as revolting as is ordinarily supposed. During the entire progress of the seventy-five rouuds neither of the combatants showed outward signs of severe physical punishmant. There was not that abundant flowof blood from the nose or mouth which embellishes ac- counts of "scraps" between third rate fighters. Sullivan had his ear split, both of his eyes bunged, his neck scratched and both hands disabled, but evinced no outward symptoms of suffer- ing. Kilrain's lip was cut, his left ear smashed, and his short ribs severely pounded, but he bled to a very incon4id- erable extent, and only a big bruise, the size of a man's hana, sh owed where Sullivan's terrific right hand repeatedly jabbed him. Later in the fight, when Kilrain began to grow weak in leg and arm, and tottered about the helpless victim of Sullivan's superior muscular force, the spectacle became not only revolting, but pitiable. Sul- livan seems to have profited some by past experience. He has evidently abandoned rushing tactics. He was CONSTANTLY ON THE AGGRESSIVE, but there was an absence of that furious impetuosity for which he has been noted. He had learned to respect Kil- rain's arm by repute, and his knowl- edge on that point was greatly en- riched to-day by actual experience. One thing is evident, Sullivan is no match for Kilrain either as a wrestler or boxer. Give Kilrain Sullivan's im- measurable driving power and expanse of chest and shoulder and no man could stand against him. Kilrain's pluck and gameness was a theme of admiratiou for those who understand ring strategy and true endurance. The Baltimore man was practically whipped in the third round. Sullivan got in a fierce blow on his side, under the heart, from which he never recovered. An ordinary man would have thrown up the sponge in the next round. Kit- rain's seconds themselves acknowledge that the fight was over then, but with the indifference of a stoic and the pluck of a hero Kilrain continued the unequal struggle and administered many a stinging blow to his adversary, and yet in spite of this an indiscrimi- nating crowd, mistaking caution and strategy for cowardice, yelled at Efl : rain, calling him "cur" and "coward" when he sought to avoid Sullivan's blow by dodging, or when he tried to outwind him by retreating be- fore him all around the ring. It is undeniably true that after the niuth round, when suffering excruciat- ing pain from his bruise under the heart and repeated knock-downs, Kil- rain did lay himself open to the charge of "foul" by tailing down when not apparently knocked down. These fouls were repeatedly claimed, but never allowed by the referee. But all this and more was made up and overbalanced in the thirty- second round, when Sullivan, after knocking Kilrain down deliberaly and te unequivocally fouled the latter by jumping upon his fallen antagonist with both knees when he lay prostrate before him. It was as unmanly an act as was ever done in the ring and should have resulted in an award of the fight to Kilrain. Anj fair-minded referee with the courage of his convictions and a knowledge of his duty would not have hesitated an in stant. But the "foui" was not allowed and the half-whipped man, JEERED AND HOOTED AT by the crowd, continued to come up smiling every time, although the cer- tainty of more fearful punishment to come stared him in the face. Even after the final round, Kil- rain was ready to again come to the scratch, but his seconds, fearing direful results, threw up the sponge despite his protests. It has since transpired that Kiiiain's seconds buoyed him up throughout the fight by pictur- ing to him the effects of defeat upon his wife and children. The day was full of unpleasant incidents. The hoodlum element, although in the mi- nority, did nearly all of the shouting and cowed an already-defeated man by their savage shouts of triumph and yells for more blood. But weak as he was, when they got into close quarters Kilrain would now and then get in a lick that made the Boston fighter acknowl- edge his prowess. In the fifty-second round the crowd shouted to Eilrain : "Fight, you cur," although he was then making a tight that would have made any five of them quail. In the fifty- sixth round one in the crowd shouted, "Hurrah for Kilrain," but he response was feeble. But when Sullivan got in a telling blow the crowd needed no cue to yell and cheer withdelight. In the sixty-second round the sun reappeared and added, to Kilrain's distress. He was visibly weakening and hitting wild, but when- ever time was called he came up smil- ing: a forced smile, perhaps, but all the same a smile. The brutality of the crowd increased with Kilrain's discom- fiture. Inthe sixty-fourth round they yelled to Sullivan to "finish him," and SOME SHOUTED "KILL HIM." Sullivan fought the battle of his life, and, with the exception of the thirty second round, fought fairly and squarely. lie also took punishment like a Spartan, and never lost confidence or nerve. One finger on either JAKE KILBAHf. hand was broken in the fight, but no one discovered itbut his seconds. He showed signs of tiring toward the end, and had to be helped to his feet when time was called. There were periods in the fight, even long after the eventful third round, when the Issue was in doubt. Had Kilrain been in condition the result might have been different. As soon as the sponge was thrown up Muldoon and Cleary threw a blanket over the stalwart form of the victor and rushed and pushed him across the ring toward the entrance to the press stand. A long and loud cheer, interpersed with yells, greeted the champion, and an excited crowd of men and boys followed the three closely. Sul- livan, despite earnest protestations, was pushed into the road toward a barouche and was driven to the depot to his spe- cial car. A ditoh had to be crossed in order to reach the coach. Across this the champion sprang lightly, followed by Muldoon and Cleary. Sullivan had received 81-OWS ON EACH OPTIC, and his left ear was bteeding where Kil- rain bad planted a cutting blow. Hia eyes were swollen and discolored, and his cheek was bleeding. On reach- ing the coach the doors were closed. Just after the fight Sul- livan said to Barnett and some of his friends that he was sorry for Kil- rain, and that, while of course he was very much Dleased with his victory, he hoped that Kilrain had not been serious- lyhurt and that he would soon be around again. It is understood that a party of Sullivan's friends are getting up a ban- quet for him to-morrow. JUST BEPORR THE BATTLE. Sail i van's Select ion of the Referee Agreed to After Some Haggling. New Orleans, July B.— There was great excitement at the ring side as Btid Renaud, Mike Donovan and Johnnie Murphy made their appearance, which they did at 9:50 a. m. The crowd cheered when it became apparent that the fight was actually to occur. Oh the toss-up for position Kilrain's representative, Mike Donovan, won and selected the northeast corner. Muldoon, Sullivan's representative, chose the southwest cor- ner. At this juncture the sheriff of the county made his appearance, and inthe name of the state of Mississippi commanded peace and retired, this being the only effort on the part of the authorities to interfere with the fight. At this moment the flag of Sullivan, brought from Boston, was placed in his corner amidst great enthusiasm. At about 10 o'clock, the sun having gone behiud a cloud, therfl was no percepti- ble advantage in either corner. Kilrain was the first to make his appearance, accompanied by Mike Donovan and Charlie Mitchell. He was greeted with applause, but wore a very serious air, as if fully realizing the work before him. As the crowd recognized the stal- wart form of the big fellow as he jumped into the ring, the cheers were deafening. He looked in marked contrast to Kilrain, seeming to be perfectly at his ease regarding the termination of the contest. The name of Pat Kenrick, of New Orleans, was offered by the Kilrain side as referee, but he was not acceptable to the other side, the representative of Sullivan proposing tne name of John Fitzpatrick, of New Orleans, saying: I want the fight to-day to take place on its merits, and may the best man wi n. I hay only one name to present for the position of referee, and that one is known throughout the Btate as an upright, Just and honest man. I name John Fitzpatrick, of New Or- leans. [Great applause.] Charley Mitchell— l don't know the gentle- man Just named, but I think if the other side Want to fight, the one we have named ought to satisfy them. Charley Johnson would not agree, saying if the Kilrainparty would not take John Fitzpatrick they did not want to fight. At this juncture Mitchell pro- posed that they toss up to see which of the above-named gentlemen would act as referee, but this did not seem to be the wish of the Sullivan side, though the crowd favored the idea. Then Prof. Butler proposed the name of a New Yfcrk man, who, however, did not prove acceptable to the other side, and after considerable wrangling over the matter Charley Mitchell finally said they were willingto accept Mr. Fitzpatrick, and the announcement was received with cheers. Mitchell here went over and examined the spikes in Sullivan's shoes, Clcary doing the same wiih those be- ongiug to Kilrain. "I am not very conversant with the rules," said Referee Fitzpatrick. "This will be a fair contest of the merits of the two men, and I willdo the best I can. In regard to the question as to what time the thirtyseconds between the rounds shall commence, 1de- cide that it commences from the time the dip"" falls." W. E. Harding at this moment stepped te m Kilrain, and placing f 1,000 in his hands told him it was sent by Richard K. Fox for him to bet with Sullivan.. Kilrain at once went over to Sullivan and offered to bet him that sum he would win the fight. The bet was im- mediately taken up by Sullivan and the money, 12,000, deposited in the hands of the referee. Both men being now stripped, it was apparent to every one present the great superiority possessed by Sullivan over his antagonist in the matter of size and development, the musoles of his arms standing out in big welts, his driving power appearing tre- mendous, and he seeming in the very best of spirits. DETAILS OP THE MILL. \u25a0Kilrain Adopts Foot Racing Tac- ' tics From Start to Finish. Few Orleans, July B.—At10:10 the principals and seconds advanced to the center of the ring ami formed a Maltese cross in shaking hands, the latter re- tiringoutside the ropes and the prin- cipals to their respective corners.

In this round Kilrain struck at least naif a dozen apparently foul blows be- low the belt, which the referee from his position couli not see, but which were greeted with hisses by the crowd, itappear- ing, and being so proclaimed by Sullivan's friends, that Kilrain wauled to lose on a foul. The round closed by Kilrain going down from a light blow on the neck. Round Four Both men sparred cautiously for an opening, Kilrain, after one or two feints on the part of Sullivan, rushed in and Sullivan, securing a cross-buttock hold, tried to tbrow the Baltimore boy, but he broke and landed a stinger on Sullivan's jaw.

Kiiraiu sim- ply slipping down to escape punnishmeut Time, 30 seconds.

As soon as Kil- raiu cftme near him Sullivan made a pass, but itfell short, and Kilrain countered on his stomach, his blows evidently lacking force, doing Sullivan no apparent damage. SuHivmi made a rush at Kilrain, when the latter turned and hugged him, both being against the ropes.

The boy from Boston was now blowing quite hard, and Kilrain got in an ugly unaer-cut on Sullivan's ribs. Sullivan in return got in a good one on Kilrain's neck, which stag- gered him, and many in the crowd here called upon Sullivan to go in and finish him. The bigfellow then planted a heavy one in Kilrain's neck, the latter retreating, Sullivan following him up and endeavoring to laud one of his terrible knock-out blows, and suc- ceeded finally in gaining a square knock- down by a right-hander on the neck. At the termination of this round Sullivan did not even take his seat, while Kilrain appeared to be very much distressed. Time, 3 minutes. HUGGUiO THE 810 FELLOW. Round Twelve—Kilrain started this round by hugging Sullivan, the latter breaking away and getting in a. good left-hander on Kilraiu's neck. Kilraiu proved a tricky fighter.evading successfully Sullivan's right- handed swings for the knock-out spot, clinching Sullivan and attempting to throw him, but without success, and upon breaking away, made a pass at Sullivan, but his blow lacked force. The round ended by the men falling heavily, Sullivan on top, his left arm locked tightlyon his opponent s throat, Kil- rain having to be carried to his corner, evi- dently in distress.

Sullivan made another vicious lunge which Kilrain dodged, and he in turn rushed Sullivan against the ropes, but etfecting no damage. Sullivan's face meanwhile wore a confident, '•you-can't-hurt-me" expression, and he backed Kilrain into the Utters corner, aiming a vicious Dlow at Kilrain, which the latter cleverly avoided and ran away from his antagonist. Sullivan again appealed to the referee to induce Kil- rain to face the music, saying to Mitchell's protege: "Why can't you fight like a man?" Kilrain rushed at Sullivan, the latter counters ing right and left, landing on Kilraiu's rib- and jaw. Sullivan tried to land a hard one. Which Kilrain evaded by rushing in and clinching, Sullivan planting short-arm blows on the ueck and ribs.

Round Thirty-Seven— Kilrain tapped Sulli- van lightly on the head, and then retreated, Sullivan folding his arms while waiting for Kilrain to come to the scratch, the crowd jeering and hissing Kilrain.

Kilrain made s lunge a Sullivau and clinched. Kilrain played on Sullivan's ribs, and then weut down in his own corner. Sullivan again appealing to the referee to make Kilrain fight. Muldoon claimed a foul, which was not allowed. Time, 2 minutes 20 seconds. Round Thirty-Eight— Kilrain showed signs of distress while retreating around the ring, but Sullivan declined to follow. The referee here told Kilrninhe would have to fight. He came up and landed lightly on Sullivan's jaw and breast, made a pass at Sullivair's stomach and clinched, the crowd crying "rats," "Rats," •Cur," "Cur" at Kilrain for not toeing tne mark. Kilrain went down to save his bacon. Time, 4<& minutes. Round Thirtv-Nme— Both men sparring for an opening, Kilrainrunning around the ring, but Sullivan would not follow.

Round Forty-Two—Kiirain, retreating as usual, came back, led at Sullivan, who coun- tered, and Kilrain ran away. Kilrain fell from a light blow, Sullivan standing over and stamping on Kilrain. Kilrain's seconds claimed a foul, amid a scene of great ex- citement, which was not allowed, Time, 2V4 minutes. Round Forty-Three— Kilrain got another rib- roaster from Sullivan, when they clinched and Kilrain went down without being bit, Sullivan claiming foul, which was not al lowed. Time, m minutes.

Round Forty-Five— Kilrain landed heavily on Sullivan's beck with his left and retreat- ed. Sullivan smashed him in the ribs, when he went down, and, while down, Sullivan de- liberately jumped on him with his feet. Cries of foul were heard all over the ring, but it was not allowed. This was a shame- ful act on Sullivan's part, and should have lost him the battle. Round Forty-Six—The men clinched and stayed together for some time. Sullivan landed heavily on the ribs and nose, and, after some iu-fighling. Kilraiu went down to avoid punishment. Time. 45 seconds. Round Forty-Seven— Kilraiu landed heav- ilyon Sullivan's stomach.

Pony Moore said to the referee: "You've got money on Sullivan," to which Fitzpatrick replied: "You're ad—d liar." Rounds Forty-Eight to Sixty-Seven—Kil- rain resorted to running around and drop- ping at every opportunity to avoid punish- ment, which disgusted the crowd, Sullivan and his seconds, and frequent claims of foul were paid no heed to. Round Sixty-Eight—Kilrain ran around the ring. Sullivan followed him closely, hitting him in the ribs. Sullivan feinted. Kilrain attempted to drop, when Sullivan hit him with a vicious upper and under cut, knock- ing him down heavily. Time, IVi minutes. Round Sixty-Nine—Kilrain was knocked down witha right-hander in the jaw. From this until the close of the seventy- fifth round Kilrain pursued his runaway tactics, dropping on every attempt of Sulli- van to administer punishment. At the close of the seventy-fifth round Mitchell went over to Sullivan's corner and asked to have the fight declared a draw, to which Sullivan and his friends responded ; ''No, no." Don- ovan then stepped to the center of the ring and threw up the sponge amid a scene of the wildest enthusiasm. WANTS NO MORE OF IT. Sullivan Says He Will Never Enter the KingAgain. New Orleans, July B.— John L Sullivan, who was seen im- mediately after being con- veyed to his special car, wa ' in the best of humor, and while not talking a great deal, always made agreeable replies to any and all ques- tions put to him by his friends or the representatives of the press. He said, among other things, that he would never enter the ring again under any consid- eration. He had done his share of slugging during his rather brief career inthe fistic arena and he wanted no more ot it. He certainly did not intend to fight the California negro, for the simple reason that he considered it entirely too degrading for a white man to place himself on an equality with a negro. His refer- ences to Kilrain and his fighting quali- fications were of a most pleasant character, concluding with the remark that he (Sullivan) had got more effect- ive thumping in his contest with Kil- rain than ever in his life before. Ow- ing to the dislocation of a knuckle on the first finger of the left hand, which occurred in the seventh round, he was compelled to make the remainder of the fight almost single- handed. SELECTED OPINIONS. Mitchell Has the Nerve to Think He Can Whip Sullivan. Charley Mitchell I'm going to chal- lenge bullivan to fight for 15,000 a side, in America, within three or four months. D Parson Davies, of Chicago— lt was a a good fight. Kilrain is a good, and as game a man as everstepped into a ring. I don't think Sullivan was ever in bet- ter form. He can thank Muldoon, who is a great general." W. B. Masterson, aKilrain man, said: "I don't believe anybody can lick Sulli- van except it is Mitchell. Itwas a stay- ing good game fight." Charley Johnson, one of Sullivan's backers, said of Kilrain: "He is the best man to fight for a man's money i ever saw." Pony Moore said: "I am disap- pointed. He was not in condition. The third round did the work. English peo- ple will be disappointed." THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE. Mrs. Kilrain Couldn't Believe Her Hnsband Had Been Whipped. Baltimore, July B.— Mrs. Kilrain this evening said: "Myhusband Dromised to send me a dis- patch as soon as he could after the fight was finished. I think that he could get a mes- sage to a telegraph station as soon as nny newspaper, and as I have heard nothing from him. I don't believe the newspapers. I think that my husband will win the battle, and I willbelieve nothing else until I hear from him." Afterwards a dispatch from New Orleans was handed her. It said: "Nature gave out Am not hurt. [Signed] "jAKE. lt And to Mrs. Mitchell, who is visiting theKilrains: "We are beat. [Signed] "Charley." BALTIMOREANS ARE GLUM. They Feel Badly Over the Defeat of Their Favorite. Baltimore, July B.— No sporting event has excited an interest in Balti- more equal to that which centered in the Sullivan-Kilrain fieht to-day. So universal was the anxiety to hear the result of the contest that many didlittle else during the day than inquire about the latest news. Fully 1,000 persons were collected about the newspaper bulletiu boards this morning, eagerly awaiting news from the ring. The seu- titnent of the crowd was favorable to the Baltimore pugilist, and deep gloom pervaded the faces of most of those in the throng after the posting of the rumor that the "big fellow"had actually won the fight. A troop of small boys paraded Baltimore streets cheering! wildly for the Boston man, while rnenl stood silently upon the sidewalk witbv gloomy faces, hoping against fear ancs striving to discredit the rumor of theie favorite's defeat. The bookmakers saw that although Sullivan was the favorite! in this city many dollars were put on Kilrain. HERE IS A HITCH. Milwaukee May Lose the N'a» tional Encampment After All. ' Milwaukee, July B.—At a stormy session of the executive Grand A/mjj council to-night a long set of resolutions! was adopted practically stopping all further preparations for the national encampment in August until as* surances are given that it will be held in this city. This action wag due to the refusal of the mayor and common council to appropriate 150,000 for tents and barracks, unless it wag certain that the Grand Army men were coming. Eight state department com* manders met in Chicago and dei cided to Issue circulars advising theif posts not to come unless a l-cent rata was granted by the iailroads. This action upset all locai plans and led to the above result. Ifthe state depart, ment commanders carry their threat^ into execution itis probable that the in* vitation of the city will be rescinded. WHITE GHOST TALKS. He Wants Squatters Bounced Prom the Reservation Before He Will Sign. . Crow Creek Agency, Dak.. July B.— The council held this afternoon was very largely attended. White Ghost, the head chief, spoke very forcibly of the presence of white men on the reservation, refers ring to that portion opened by President Arthur, and suggest* ed they be removed before Indians were asked to sell what was left. complained of the Santees being equal beneficiaries. He made by far the strongest speech yet heard by the com- mission. The objection raised by the In« dians that they have no ground to spare and that their new reservation is too small to give them all suitable allot- ments of farm lands is reasonable and it will be difficult to bring them around. m HILL'S NEW JOB. A Minnesotian Will Edit the Re- ports of the Department of Ag« riculture. Washington, July 8. Secretary Rusk to-day established a new division, charged withthe important duty of cd-« iting the reports and bulletins issued by the various divisions of the depart- ment, so many of which, being prepared by scientific men for scientific eyes, are comparatively lost to the general pub- lic, especially, the secretary believes, to that public which the depart- ment is li ciliary designed to serve the farmers. Advance sheets of bulletins issued hereafter from any and every division of the de- partment will pass through the secre- tary's office, and their contents will be carefully read and digested in the edit- orial division. A careful lesume will then be prepared in the plainest possi- ble language, giving in substance the facts and conclusions of each bulletin. This division will be in charge of George William Hill, of Minnesota. Mr. Hill has been for many years editor and pub- lisher of agricultural paners in the Northwest, including the Prairie Farmer, of Chicago, and Farmer, of Sw Paul. Disputes Levi's Claim to Office. Washington, July B.—Peter Adle- hard is the name given by a German who claims to have been elected vice president of the Uuited States. He was arrested last night at the house of Mr. Streeter, on the Hare- wood road, where his strange actions and conversation frightened the in- mates of the house, and complaint wag made to the officers, who arrested him. The prisoner told the officers that he had been elected vice president and that he was on his way from Christian county, 111., to takelthe oath of office. Benny Will Join His Family. Washington, July B.— President Harrison will probably go up to Dcci Park to join his family on Fri- day, to remain over Sunday and during the ealry part of " next week.

New Orleans, La., July B.— Thebig fight is over. Kilrain hasbeen fairly, squarely, honestly and hon-orably whipped in a contest in whichthe beaten man has no cause to beashamed of his defeat. There is nomanner of doubt that Jake Kilrain is agame man and a fighter, and the menwho saw him fight to-day will put up

flielrmoney on him the next time heenters the ring against any livingmanexcept Sullivan. No account of thismuch-talked-of contest will be com-plete unless the thread of the narrativeis taken up at the time of the departureof the first train from New OrleansMonday morning at 1:30 o'clock. Therush for admission to the $15 coacheswas something indescribable. It tooknearly two hours to seat the $15 ticketholders, but there was not room for allof them, and some had to occupycamp-stools in the aisles. The anxietyto see the fight amounted almostto a frenzy, and those who were with-out the means to pay $10 or $15, theprice of transportation and admission,took the chances of losing their lives inattempting tosteal a ride. Just beforethe ?15 train started from New OrleansIt was discovered that scores of menand boys had concealed themselves onthe cross-beams connecting the wheels,while others hung on the longiron rodsconnecting the trucks. The greaternumber, however, were perched on theroofs of the cars. They were driven offwith difficulty. The

ina clearing on the edge of a pine for-est, near the little village which is 102miles from New Orleans, and 98from Meridian, Miss. The ring waspitched on a patch of green turf, andsurrounding it on the three sides w°re

tiers of seats ten feet high. The gen-eral aspect of the crowd was anythingbut tough. The hoodlum element waslargely outnumbered by an eminentlyrespectable crowd. Professional men,merchants, bankers— some from NewOrleans, others from neighboring states—were present to a preponderating de-gree. Many of the spectators camefrom points as far distant as San Fran-cisco in the West, and New York andBoston in the East. But these wereMostly of the sporting variety. And

while the holders of gilt-edge tickets, at$15 each, were disembarking andscrambling for chances of advantageat the rine side, the $10 peo-ple on the second train werealso having experience, between NewOrleans and the battle ground, which itdid not reach until 9 o'clock after sev-eral vexatious and long delays. Thelocomotive did not have power enoughto draw the train up grade or roundcurves. The coaches were also in poorrunning order. In five ininntes afterthe appearance of this train the amphi-theater was a packed mass of eagerand perspiring humanity, somethinglike 8,000 in number. By this timea friendly cloud spread over theface of the run and tempered the burn-ing rays. The crowd waited patientlyand in good humor. Many were hungry;all thirsty and tired, but there was norelief except at the hands of a coloredman, who peddled cheese sandwichesof doubtful age at 15 cents apiece.Another colored man peddled water at5cents a cup. while some beer sold for25 cents a glass.

Kilrainwas toeing the scratch whenDonovan, his second, threw up thesponge, thus declaring Sullivan the vic-tor. Kilrain was by no means satisfied,but, notwithstanding his protestations,he was bundled upina black shawl andhurried to a carriage in waiting. Kil-rain, Donovan, Butler, Murphy andMitchell drove rapidly to the train andentered their car. Sullivan, Muldoonand Cleary entered the first coach.When Kilrain had seated himself hewas soon surrounded by a host of sym-pathizing friends, who consoled himfor his misfortune.

KILKAIN"WEPT LIKE A CHILI),and continued exclaiming, "Ird himbeaten!" A large crowd followed thehacks and remained .standing; aroundthe coaches in which Sullivan and Kil-rain were. Mr. Stevenson, who hadbeen Kilrain's friend throughout, re-mained by his side and spongea him,oc-casionally givinghim a drink of whiskyand water. Kilrain would not be con-soled, but continued to bemoan the lossof the battle which he had hopedto win. Prof. Michael J. Dono-van, of the New York Athleticclub, who so ably seconded Kilrain;Prof. Dennis Butler, of the SouthernAthletic club, and Johnnie Murphy,bottle-holder, remained beside theirprincipal, one relieving the other inministering to his comfort and relief.None felt the defeat of Kilrainmorethan did these people, and Prof. Dono-van stated that though Kilrain did notwant to throw up the sponge he con-cluded to do so, for his principal wasexhausted from the heat and exer-cise as well as from the punishment hehad received, but hid so nobly stood.Charley Mitchell, Kilrain's trainer, heldhimself aloof from him, however, butthere were many other friends of Kil-rain's there to take his place. As soonas the two gladiators and other friendshad seated themselves in the coaches,the train moved off at a rapidrate. Kilrain appeared to be suffer-ing more from mental than phys-ical injuries, and was very gloomy.Attimes he would brighten up a littleand smile, but these occasions wererare. His face did not betray the greatpunishment he had received at the handsof his big antagonist. He had a cutunder the nose across both lips, and hisleft eye was slightly discolored andswollen. His right hand had been in-jured by a blow on Sullivan's head andhis lett instep had been cut by thespikes on Sullivan's shoes, which cut

through the leather of Kilrain's leftshoe. He had received terrible punish-ment about the ribs and doubtless suf-fered considerable pain, but he gave

NO VOICE TO HIS AGONY,ifany he endured. He claimed tohavebeen more overcome by heat than bythe blows of Sullivan. Referring; tothe fight, Kilrain said that he had notbeen trained properly and that he wasnot in condition when he entered thering, and this seemed to be the im-pression of every one who saw himwhen he entered. He would work andget some money together again,he said, and would once moremake a trial for the cham-pionship. He had Sullivan "done"twice, he continued, but he had notbeen properly trained, and was unaoleto take advantage of this, but he waswilling to fight Sullivan again. Hepunched Sullivan several times and didnot seem to hit him, and he laboredunder the impression that somethingmust have been done to him

words, that he had been drugged. Hedid not have the strength of a cat, butcould stand any amount of punish-ment but could not inflict any, and

he could see that his blows were nothurting Sullivan. He complained ofthe manner in which Sullivan had de-liberately jumped upon him with bothfeet while he was down, but he shouldnot find fault with this, as he hadtrusted too much to his friends. One ofthose around him exclaimed reproach-fully,"Some of your friends you shouldsay." "Sullivan was done for twice,"he said, "but he was also, and couldnot take advantage of his adversary'scondition." Kilrain laid down on theseat with his feet stretched across tothe opposite seat, and covering beingplaced over him he fellasleep. Whenthe train was crossing the trestle abouteighteen miles from the city, Mitchell,for the first time, entered the car andKilrain awoke. About a mile beyondGentilly, while the train was at a stand-still,

KILRAINREPROACHED MITCHELL

for the condition he was in when lieentered the ring. Mitchell replied andquite a crowd gathered around the twomen. Mitchell attributed Kilrain's de-feat toits being one of his off days. Anumber of sporting men who knewKilrain well, and had seen him in train-ing at Baltimore, remarked that some-thingmust have been the matter withhim, for they had never seen him hit sofeebly as he did to-day. Johnnie Mur-phy said it was not Sullivan whoknocked Kilrainout, but the sun, forSul-livan did not hurt him much. Kilrain'scondition, he thought, was mysterious,and he was overtrained besides. Prof.Butler declared that he had announcedhis belief in Kilrainand he had stuckto him through thick and thin. Mitchellhad dropped him like a dog when thefight went against him, but this wouldnot be the case with his other friends.When the train reached the station twocarriages were procured for the party.Kilrain was conducted to a Russianbath and afterwards retired to rest.

When Sullivan removed his sweater,revealing his magnificent torso, pinkwith the glow of health and theperfection of condition, his chestand back looked as big as theside of a house, and an invol-untary buzz of admiration circulatedthrough the crowd. When Kilrain'sbare form was displayed to the multi-tude there were audible expressionsof disappointment. His skin was of apale, sickly hue, his chest narrow andthe muscles of his arms somewhat toosalient Shrewd observers thought hima shade too fine, and it was painfullyevident that he was

UO MATCHFOR SULLIVAN,either incondition or physical power.It is claimed that he weighed 195pounds and that his antagonist tippedthe beam at 205. This was hardlycredible. There was not lessthan twenty-five or thirty poundsdifference in weight in Sul-livan's favor. In the language of acomically inclined observer: "Helooked as ifhe weighed a ton." Theearlier rounds of a prize fight are notas revolting as is ordinarily supposed.During the entire progress ofthe seventy-five rouuds neither of thecombatants showed outward signs ofsevere physical punishmant. There wasnot that abundant flowof blood from thenose or mouth which embellishes ac-counts of "scraps" between third ratefighters. Sullivan had his ear split,both of his eyes bunged, his neckscratched and both hands disabled, butevinced no outward symptoms of suffer-ing. Kilrain's lip was cut, his left earsmashed, and his short ribs severelypounded, but he bled to a very incon4id-erable extent, and only a bigbruise, thesize of a man's hana, sh owed whereSullivan's terrific right hand repeatedlyjabbed him. Later in the fight,when Kilrain began to grow weakinleg and arm, and tottered about thehelpless victim of Sullivan's superiormuscular force, the spectacle becamenot only revolting, but pitiable. Sul-livan seems to have profited some bypast experience. He has evidentlyabandoned rushing tactics. He was

CONSTANTLY ON THE AGGRESSIVE,but there was an absence of that furiousimpetuosity for which he has beennoted. He had learned to respect Kil-rain's arm by repute, and his knowl-edge on that point was greatly en-riched to-day by actual experience.One thing is evident, Sullivan isnomatch forKilraineither as a wrestleror boxer. Give Kilrain Sullivan's im-measurable driving power and expanseof chest and shoulder and no mancould stand against him. Kilrain'spluck and gameness was a themeof admiratiou for those who understandring strategy and true endurance. TheBaltimore man was practically whippedin the third round. Sullivan got inafierce blow on his side, under theheart, from which he never recovered.

An ordinary man would have thrownup the sponge in the next round. Kit-rain's seconds themselves acknowledgethat the fight was over then, but withthe indifference of a stoic and the pluckof a hero Kilrain continued theunequal struggle and administeredmany a stinging blow to his adversary,and yet in spite of this an indiscrimi-nating crowd, mistaking caution andstrategy for cowardice, yelled at Efl:rain, calling him

"cur"and "coward"when he sought to avoid Sullivan'sblow by dodging, or when he triedto outwind him by retreating be-fore him all around the ring.It is undeniably true that after theniuth round, when suffering excruciat-ing pain from his bruise under theheart and repeated knock-downs, Kil-rain did lay himself open to the chargeof "foul" by tailing down whennot apparently knocked down. Thesefouls were repeatedly claimed, butnever allowed by the referee. But allthis and more was made upand overbalanced in the thirty-second round, when Sullivan,after knocking Kilrain downdeliberaly and te unequivocally fouledthe latter by jumping upon his fallenantagonist with both knees when helay prostrate before him. It was asunmanly an act as was ever done inthe ring and should have resulted inan award of the fight to Kilrain. Anjfair-minded referee with the courage ofhis convictions and aknowledge of hisduty would not have hesitated an instant. But the "foui"was not allowedand the half-whipped man,

JEERED AND HOOTED ATby the crowd, continued to come upsmiling every time, although the cer-tainty of more fearful punishment tocome stared him in the face.Even after the final round, Kil-rain was ready to again come to thescratch, but his seconds, fearing direfulresults, threw up the sponge despitehis protests. It has since transpiredthat Kiiiain's seconds buoyed himup throughout the fight by pictur-ing to him the effects of defeatupon his wife and children. The daywas full of unpleasant incidents. Thehoodlum element, although in the mi-nority, did nearly all of the shouting andcowed an already-defeated man by theirsavage shouts of triumph and yells formore blood. But weak as he was, whenthey got into close quarters Kilrainwould now and then get in a lickthat made the Boston fighter acknowl-edge his prowess. In the fifty-secondround the crowd shouted to Eilrain:"Fight, you cur," although he was thenmaking a tight that would have madeany five of them quail. In the fifty-sixth round one in the crowdshouted, "Hurrah for Kilrain," buthe response was feeble. But whenSullivan got ina telling blow the crowdneeded no cue to yell and cheerwithdelight. In the sixty-second roundthe sun reappeared and added, toKilrain's distress. He was visiblyweakening and hitting wild, but when-ever time was called he came up smil-ing:

—a forced smile, perhaps, but all the

same a smile. The brutality of thecrowd increased with Kilrain's discom-fiture. Inthe sixty-fourth round theyyelled to Sullivan to "finish him," and

hand was broken in the fight, but noone discovered itbut his seconds. Heshowed signs of tiring toward the end,and had to be helped to his feet whentime was called. There were periodsin the fight, even long after theeventful third round, when the Issuewas in doubt. Had Kilrain been incondition the result might have beendifferent. As soon as the sponge wasthrown up Muldoon and Clearythrew a blanket over thestalwart form of the victor andrushed and pushed him across the ringtoward the entrance to the press stand.A long and loud cheer, interpersedwith yells, greeted the champion,and an excited crowd of men andboys followed the three closely. Sul-livan, despite earnest protestations, waspushed into the road toward a baroucheand was driven to the depot to his spe-cial car. A ditoh had to be crossed inorder to reach the coach. Across thisthe champion sprang lightly, followedby Muldoon and Cleary. Sullivan hadreceived

81-OWS ON EACH OPTIC,and his left ear was bteeding where Kil-rain bad planted a cutting blow. Hiaeyes were swollen and discolored, andhis cheek was bleeding. On reach-ing the coach the doors wereclosed. Just after the fight Sul-livan said to Barnett and someof his friends that he was sorry for Kil-rain, and that, while of course he wasvery much Dleased with his victory, hehoped that Kilrainhad not been serious-

lyhurt and that he would soon be aroundagain. It is understood that a party ofSullivan's friends are getting up a ban-quet for him to-morrow.

JUST BEPORR THE BATTLE.Sailivan's Select ion ofthe Referee

Agreed to After Some Haggling.New Orleans, July B.— There was

great excitement at the ring side as BtidRenaud, Mike Donovan and JohnnieMurphy made their appearance, whichthey did at 9:50 a. m. The crowd cheeredwhen itbecame apparent that the fightwas actually to occur. Oh the toss-upfor position Kilrain's representative,Mike Donovan, won and selected thenortheast corner. Muldoon, Sullivan'srepresentative, chose the southwest cor-ner. Atthis juncture the sheriff of thecounty made his appearance, and inthename of the state of Mississippicommanded peace and retired, thisbeing the only efforton the part of theauthorities to interfere with the fight.At this moment the flag of Sullivan,brought from Boston, was placed inhiscorner amidst great enthusiasm. Atabout 10 o'clock, the sun having gonebehiud a cloud, therfl was no percepti-ble advantage ineither corner. Kilrainwas the first to make his appearance,accompanied by Mike Donovan andCharlie Mitchell. He was greeted withapplause, but wore a very serious air,as if fully realizing the work beforehim. As the crowd recognized the stal-wart form of the big fellow ashe jumped into the ring, thecheers were deafening. He looked inmarked contrast to Kilrain, seemingto be perfectly at his ease regarding thetermination of the contest. The nameof Pat Kenrick, of New Orleans, wasoffered by the Kilrain side as referee,

but he was not acceptable to the otherside, the representative of Sullivanproposing tne name of John Fitzpatrick,of New Orleans, saying:Iwant the fight to-day to take place on its

merits, and may the best man win. Ihay

only one name to present for the position ofreferee, and that one is known throughoutthe Btate as an upright, Just and honestman. Iname John Fitzpatrick, of New Or-leans. [Great applause.]

Charley Mitchell—ldon't know the gentle-man Just named, but Ithink ifthe other sideWant to fight, the one we have named oughtto satisfy them.

Charley Johnson would not agree,saying if the Kilrainparty would nottake John Fitzpatrick they did not wantto fight. Atthis juncture Mitchellpro-posed that they toss up to see which ofthe above-named gentlemen would actas referee, but this did not seem to bethe wish of the Sullivan side, thoughthe crowd favored the idea. Then Prof.Butler proposed the name of a NewYfcrkman, who, however, did not proveacceptable to the other side, and afterconsiderable wrangling over the matterCharley Mitchell finallysaid they werewillingto accept Mr. Fitzpatrick, andthe announcement was received withcheers. Mitchell here went over andexamined the spikes inSullivan's shoes,Clcary doing the same wiihthose be-ongiug to Kilrain."Iam not very conversant with the rules,"

said Referee Fitzpatrick. "This will be afair contest of the merits of the two men,andIwilldo the best Ican. Inregard to thequestion as to what time the thirtysecondsbetween the rounds shall commence, 1de-cide that it commences from the time thedip"" falls."

W. E.Harding atthis moment steppedte m Kilrain,and placing f1,000 inhishands told him it was sent by RichardK.Fox for him to bet withSullivan..Kilrainat once went over to Sullivanand offered to bet him that sum hewould win the fight. The bet was im-mediately taken up by Sullivan and themoney, 12,000, deposited in the hands ofthe referee. Both men being nowstripped, itwas apparent to every onepresent the great superiority possessedby Sullivan over his antagonist in thematter of size and development, themusoles of his arms standing out in bigwelts, his drivingpower appearing tre-mendous, and he seeming in the verybest of spirits.

WANTS NO MORE OF IT.Sullivan Says He Will Never

Enter the KingAgain.New Orleans, July B.—John L

Sullivan, who was seen im-mediately after being con-veyed to his special car, wa

'

in the best of humor, and while nottalking a great deal, always madeagreeable replies to any and all ques-tions put to him by his friends or therepresentatives of the press. He said,among other things, that he would neverenter the ring again under any consid-eration. He had done his share ofslugging during his rather brief careerinthe fistic arena and he wanted nomore ot it. He certainly did notintend to fight the Californianegro, for the simple reason that heconsidered it entirely too degrading fora white man to place himself on anequality with a negro. His refer-ences to Kilrainand his fighting quali-fications were of a most pleasantcharacter, concluding with the remarkthat he (Sullivan) had got more effect-ive thumping in his contest withKil-rain than ever inhis life before. Ow-ing to the dislocation of a knuckleon the first finger of the lefthand, which occurred in the seventhround, he was compelled to make theremainder of the fight almost single-handed.

Kilrainis a good, and asgame a man as everstepped into a ring.Idon't think Sullivan was ever in bet-ter form. He can thank Muldoon, whois a great general."

W. B.Masterson, aKilrain man, said:"Idon't believe anybody can lick Sulli-van except it is Mitchell. Itwas a stay-ing good game fight."

Charley Johnson, one of Sullivan'sbackers, said of Kilrain: "He is thebest man to fight for a man's money iever saw."

Pony Moore said: "I am disap-pointed. He was not in condition. Thethird round did the work. English peo-ple willbe disappointed."

BALTIMOREANS ARE GLUM.They Feel Badly Over the Defeat

ofTheir Favorite.Baltimore, July B.—No sporting

event has excited an interest in Balti-more equal to that which centered inthe Sullivan-Kilrain fieht to-day. Souniversal was the anxiety to hear theresult of the contest that many didlittleelse during the day than inquire aboutthe latest news. Fully 1,000 personswere collected about the newspaperbulletiu boards this morning, eagerlyawaiting news from the ring. The seu-titnent of the crowd was favorable tothe Baltimore pugilist, and deep gloompervaded the faces of most of those inthe throng after the posting of the

rumor that the "bigfellow"had actuallywon the fight. A troop of small boysparaded Baltimore streets cheering!wildly for the Boston man, while rnenlstood silently upon the sidewalk witbvgloomy faces, hoping against fear ancsstriving to discredit the rumor of theiefavorite's defeat. The bookmakers sawthat although Sullivan was the favorite!in this city many dollars were put onKilrain.

HERE IS A HITCH.Milwaukee May Lose the N'a»

tional Encampment After All.'

Milwaukee, July B.—At a stormysession of the executive Grand A/mjjcouncil to-night a long set of resolutions!was adopted practically stopping allfurther preparations for the nationalencampment in August until as*surances are given that it will beheld in this city. This action wagdue to the refusal of the mayor andcommon council to appropriate 150,000for tents and barracks, unless it wagcertain that the Grand Armymen werecoming. Eight state department com*manders met in Chicago and deicided to Issue circulars advising theifposts not to come unless a l-cent ratawas granted by the iailroads. Thisaction upset all locai plans and led tothe above result. Ifthe state depart,ment commanders carry their threat^into execution itis probable that the in*vitation of the city willbe rescinded.
