Sullivan's Share of the Stakes

New York, July 23. - John L. Sullivan is still in town. Editor Arthur Lumley, of The New York Illustrated News, said to a United Press reporter that the big fellow was not likely to leave for Boston for at least a couple of days. 'Sullivan has already received $4,600,' said a representative of The Illustrated News. 'Of this sum $1,000 was his bet with Kilrain on entering the ring, and $3,600 being his share of the excursion money and gate receipts. Of this sum he has in all probability paid out fully $2,000. When the stake money is disposed of Sullivan will receive $10,000, which will bring up his total receipts to $14,600.'
