The Champion Brutes.

London, September, 17. Pugilistic matches have been arranged between Smith and Slavin, and Smith and Jackson. London, July 13. A little further interesting information is given in regard to the big fight in America. The Daily News correspondent in New York telegraphs; The detailed accounts whioh have now reached us of the SullivanKilrain fight show it to have been an un usually revolting struggle between two brutes, resulting in the victory of the bigger brute. Kilrain had not once a chance from the start, and Sullivan’s superior strength was shown in every round. Kilrain tried to tire him by running from him, but did not succeed. Sullivan’s device was to strike Kilrain heavily above the heart, hitting the same spot whenever he could. Sullivan vomited in the forty-fourth round, but soon recovered. Kilrain then asked " Will you draw the fight?" and Sullivan replied, “ No, you loafer.” Sullivan then made a vicious onslaught upon Kilrain, assaulting him with both hands,knocking him down, and jumping upon his head with his knees, This is. one of the many disgusting incident* of the fight. At the close gulli-an was only slightly injured, white Kilrain's body was badly hruwed, and he was bleeding freely, An examination, however, showed that he had suffered no serious injury. He cried like a child when being taken away, Sullivan is reported to have said that he Will never fight again, but this is doubtful, Sullivan was arrested on Thursday at Nashville, Tennessee, where he arrived on his way north. The arrest was made by order of the Governor of Mississippi, the State in which the reoent fight occurred. The police entered the railway carriage, and seising Sullivan endeavoured to handcuff him, Sullivan resisted, and Mike Muldoon, the friend of Sullivan, who occupied tha same seat, put his head out of the window and cried to the crowd, "Gentlemen, I demand American protection." After a brief struggle Sullivan was taken from, the carriage and hustled into a cab, Tn the souffle he drew back to knock down a policeman, when the chief of police held a pistol to his head and told him that if he struck the man he would kill him. The officers next took Johnson, who resisted vigorously. The Governor of Mississippi offered a reward of l,t)00dols for Sullivan's arrest. There Is but slight danger of Kilrain’* death. He is in the north making every effort to avoid arrest Public opinion is with the Government. and it is hoped that it will sucooed ill puttlug Sullivan ia prison)
