CLEVERNESS OF THE CIUMtBUL The Bo&tonian Badly Punished From the Outset SUILITA- _ FAMOUS RUSHES of so AVAIL C.rbctt Successfully Withstands Tunish. sent and Finally Fights Sullivan to the Floor. Special to The Morning Cal_ New Orleans. Sept 7.— The laurel has shifted. John L. Sullivan has had some new sensations, so has James Corbett. One has been knocked off the pedestal of pugil- istic championship and the other has climbed into bis place. The California heavyweight, Corbett, has knocked out the champion, John L. Sullivan, and has won besides some $45,000. . It now appears to the spectators, if tbe truth is told, that Corbett won easily. The impress tou left by the rapid spectacle is that Sullivan was at no moment in the path of success, and the physical evidences of this, as apparent at the finish, what were they? Corbett, the winner, at tb,e moment of his victory, was keen, quick, alert in every round, unmarked by bruise or blood. His face was aglow with steady interest -and It wore a half-smile, and he was ready to attack his foe with ferocious force bad that foe been able to rise. These were the conditions of victory. Sullivan was reeking with blood, smashed, bruised, jellied nearly, if not quite entirely so. These were the evidences of defeat, and it was when these had been established that the laurels shifted and a new man has been born into championship. Why was Sullivan dethroned? He him- self had contributed to the causes of his own downfall. Had his life had no excesses Sullivan would have been able to fight the battle more effectively to retain his prestige. Be is not relatively so good a man at 34 as hundreds of other men at that age. His face is furrowed, not alone by years, but by the methods of his own living. His ponderous body, too, bore traces not alone of time, but of easy living. His con- dition was not comparable with that of his victorious foe. It could not be. There was the accumulation of age and the wide free- dom which could not be trained away with- out Impairing the man. Sullivan, too, ha« been overconfident. He bad been contemptuous of the needful measures for his perfect condition. He was Sullivan, and Sullivan could not loose in battle. Corbett has taught him otherwise, and how, starting with eight years less of life's inevitable wear, he had conserved his powers, perfected the methods of their use, charging his heart meanwhile, confident that be would become king of bis kind. His was the capital of brawn and muscle upon which to build up the fortune of victory and reputation. It may not be carelessly said that Corbett at 26 years of age is a better man than Sal livan was at that age, but assuming they were equally good men st equal ages, the analysis of this victory comes back to the fact that while some men of 34 may whip some men of X, the elder man being the victor must not have added to his own methods of depletion to those which the silent years so surely employ. Sullivan came forward to-night into the glare of twenty electric lights, his senses fed by the shouts of those who will flaunt him now. The majority believed in him. Why should not the champion believe in himself? So, while they yelled with wor- shiping plaudit, he sat down in his corner and with easy interest scanned the powerful fellow opposite. Somehow there Is homage in the eager at- tention the trainers bestow upon their enamplon, snd to-night while Sullivan en- joyed this hi«heavy form sagged down as he sat waiting the Dreliminuries. Those who scanned him closely saw welts of flesh on bis abdomen rolling far over the edge of his firmlydrawn belt. It should not have been tbe obesity of age, for the man to-nlgbt should be in the ptime of his years. Was it distension surely following wise suppers and hot dinners of rich foods? Who shall BSV? While sitting thus under the eyes of hun- dreds whose scrutiny was sharpened by their money on the result, Sullivan was in turn studying his foe. And what did he see? In the opposite corner, out of which all the victors in the Olympic Club have gone to victory, there sat a splendid speci- men of human flesh and bone. Sullivan •aw a smiling and confident face. He •aw a neck that had poise and strength. He saw a chest deep enough to bold a bellows. He saw a pair of browned shoulders where piled muscles crept and glided beneath the skin. Hebe- held outstretched upon the ropes while the trainers did their service a pair of arms as long as those of a windmill, bunched with lithe, driving muscles, with the blood and nerve of youth. _ The champion beheld a foe whose ab- dominal curve was clean-cut, roundlike In its lines. There was no adipose tissue to clog his lungs or to burden the freedom of bis action. Like a racer was Corbett— trim, solid, balanced physically at every point, unless, indeed, his long legs seemed a trifle light for bis muscular shoulders and body. But those who doubted the power of bis lithe under limbs could not know how like steel they had been tempered to bend without breaking under stress and tension. Doubters learned later what iron thews lay along these slender columns that should uphold the man. BE I- ORE THE FIGHT. The Olympic Club Crowded With Eager Throngs of Spectators. Olympic Club, New Orleans, Sept. 7.— The excitement that has prevailed in this city has bad no parallel since the Italian assassination eighteen months ago. There has been no subject of conversation dis- cussed in any quarter save the event of this evening, in which every portion of the civ- ilized world Is more or less deeply inter- ested. Ithas apparently affected the outside world as deeply as It did the participants in the battle. Both men were known to be in prime condition, and the greatest fight of the series was looked forward to by all with keen anticipation. There was a universal move In the direc- tion of the club even before evening began to fall. Business men, lawyers and journal- ists took their dinners downtown and had vehicles ordered early. They were willing to wait at the club, but they were unwilling to waste time going down. At 6 o'clock carriages were already head- ing down Canal street, which was crowded with people and vehicles. Down the Inter- secting streets were a line of carriages reaching to the scene of the battle. Down In tbe neighborhood of the club for blocks and blocks carriages were strung along the curbstones, and every street corner bad a crowd. * J _. :. The Sullivan people came to the club first. They took a carriage at the hotel be- fore 7 o'clock and drove leisurely down with tbe string of backs. Sullivan looked strong and determined. He walked with a jaunty air and came in so easy with the line of people entering at the time that only a few noticed him. Both contestants were in the building at 8 o'clock, but they were kept in strict seclu- sion. As the crowd recognized the well- known pugilists and sporting men they were cheered. The poolrooms closed with betting Ito3 against Corbett. Atß:o7 there were fully 9000 people in the arena. Sulli- van's weight was 212 pounds, Corbett's 189. Both men were in fine fettle. Inthe toss for corners Corbett won and chose the lucky one that Dixon and Mc- Auiiffe fought in. >. Big Jim Corbett followed In the wake of the champion, coming li*. fifteen minutes later. When bis party pulugd up in front of the door the street was cleared and an ave- nue was opened into the building. Corbett came in first, with a light step, and his face wreathed in smiles. The first sign of the contest for the cham- pionship of America came in the person of Police Captain Barrett, who went into the ring at five minutes to 9 o'clock. The scales on which the cloves were weighed were laid beside the center of the post. Ex-Mayor Guillot. who acted as master of ceremonies, entered the arena a few min- utes later and made a speech, warning the spectators to he careful not to violate any rule of the club. Sullivan entered the ring first, dressed In freen trunks and black slices and socks, le looked in perfect condition. Corbett followed a moment later, looking pale and finely drawn beside his bulky antagonist. He wore an at of- confidence, however, and smiled and nodded to his acquaintances around the ring, though he was said by some people to be a little nervous. Police Captain Barrett stepped to the center of the ring and presented Professor John Duffy with a beautiful silver ice- bowl and ladle. John Donaldson and Billy Pelaney were announced as Corbett's seconds, with Bat Masterson as timekeeper. Charley John- son anil Jack McAuiiffe were the seconds for John L. Sullivan and Frank Moran was timekeeper. The gloves were weighed and found to be secording to law and they were given to the fighters. In tile parley which was held in the center of the ring Corbett looked entirely outclassed in point of build, though his friends relied upon his clever- ness to win the battle. The pivot blow and back-heeling were barred by mutual con- sent, and the men agreeing to fight fair, they were sent to their corners to get ready for thetray. THE 810 BATTLE.

Corbett Scan After tha Fight and Con- grntnl-ted on Hit Victory. New Orleans, Sept. 7.—Corbett was seen immediately after he entered his dress- ing-room by an Associated Press re- porter. When he came in a dozen or more men sprang forward to shake his hand, but he pushed them back saying: "Don't get so excited. I know I won, and I know you are glad of it, but don't try to crowd me to death. Look at me, 1 am not excited, and why should you people be. Just set away from me and let me get a little air." He then lay on bis rot and was rubbed down before being weighed. He tipped the scale at 174 pounds, showing that he had only lost five pounds during the fight. In answers to questions, Corbett said: "I knew what I could do. I bad been practicing for weeks to guard against bis particular style of fighting, and felt just as confident of winning as I did that I was alive." Bob Fitzsimmons knocked at the door and wanted to see Corbett. "Don't let him in," said the new champion. "I don't want to see him. The big duffer would not come near me before the fight aud I wont see b.m now." Fitzslmmons afterward peeked over the | top of the door, and called to Corbett, but Jim told him to get down, that he would | have nothing to do with nim. The big i Californian said he did not feel the least I . bit tired and had worked ten times harder than that eveiy day he bad trained for the fight. 'm";c .-*:-./.. "I am satisfied I could have whipped him very much sooner had I mixed and gone into hard in-fighting. But I was a trifle wary. On several occasions I was sorely tempted to close right In on him and Jo him quick, but my second kept at me to be cautious; that I was doing well and lav- ing tbe best of it, and that Ihad better fight a little shy of bis right hand." When Mike Donovan entered the room i Corbett sprang to his feet, shook hands with j him very cordially and said: ."Well, Mil-, J we got on top at last. Mike, mv boy, every word you .said about Sullivan was right. He fought just as you said he would fight, and I followed your advice and hero I am a winner and the champion. I scarcely know, how to thank you and express my gratitude to you." BIS TKAIN-H ELATED. Success of the California- Pleased Billy I.UI-.T. New Orleans, Sept. 7. -Billy Delaney, who really deserves groat credit for getting Corbett into his present magnificent con- dition, as no trainer ever worked more faithfully with a man than he did with Corbett, is highly elated over the victory. He said he not only considered Corbett the greatest fighter in the world, but that Corbett could take Peter Jackson In the same ring he whipped Sullivan in and whip the colored man as easy as, he knocked out the big fellow. "This man I tell you is a wonder. Why look at him, he has not got a scratch or even a red mark of any description on him to show that he has been fighting." At this time a messenger entered the room and informed Corbett that his wife was on the other end of the wire and wanted to talk to him. "On, I can't go now," said stalwart Jim. "Just give her mv love, and tell her I am all right, feeling well, aud not hurt a bit." L anil was the new champion heavy- weight pugilist of the world was received in this city with something like astonishment. The Corbett men were in the minority, and their demeanor was in strange contrast with that of the followers ot the Bos- \u25a0oa boy. The great majority could not believe that Sullivan had at last met his match, and his friends lingered around the telegraph offices and bulletin boards hoping that there had been a mis- take, but wheu it was definitely known that rorbett was now champion the enthusiasm knew no bounds, the staunchest Sullivan men being tho loudest in their praises of the youn« Califomian. CHEERED AT THE CAPITOL. Crowds Watching the Bulletins In Wash- ington. Wasiiixgtox, Sept. 7. Pennsylvania avenue was fairly blocked to-night with people watching the returns from the Sulli- van-Corbett fight at the different points where bulletins were displayed. There was an immense crowd in front of the Post and Star newspaper offices. Many ladies in rarringes wer» olnervml watchina the stereoptieon bulletins. Sympathy sfemeii to be entirely with Corbett. When the an- nouncement came that Corbett had won there was great cheering all along the avenue. AT OTHER, LACES. How the _•„\u25a0 W*g Received Through* oat the Country. Chicago, Sept. 7.— Much Chicago money was on Corbett and all of it at good odds, and when the result was announced the crowds simply went wild. The excitement surpassed anything seen since the last na- tional election. ' v Dispatches from St. Louis, Pittsburg, Buffalo and many other cities are to the same effect. Cincinnati. Sept. 7.— The streets of Cin- cinnati, Covington and Newport exhibited the bpectacle of greater ci? around the places where bulletins of the Corbett-Sulli- van fight were read than ever gathered on the streets to hear the news of the Presi- dential election. Telegraph bulletins were posted on more than a score of places, all of which were crowded. There must have been 50,000 people standing outdoors at these places hearing tho news. At an Over-the-Kbine saloon, which was full of people, , the floor went into the cellar. No one was hurt, but a lot of whiskey and beer went to waste. AT THE OLYMPIC CLUB. flow the Members and Their Friends Re- ceived the Sews. The announcement that the Olympic Club had made preparations to give its members "the full returns" of the championship battle between James J. Cotbett of this city and John L. Sullivan of Boston crowded the gymnasium last evening. It was also election night, and the excite- ment attached to both was something that the club never previously experienced. The result of each round as it flashed over the wires and Into the building was given to the large gathering of interested spectators by means of a stereoptlcon. When the rounds ended in Corbett's favor the athletic shouts of young and old members startled the audience of the Alcazar Theater, which is situated almost immediately under the gymnasium. In fact, the excitement grew to such a pitch that it had no bounds, and President Harrison had to request the members to remain somewhat quiet, as the operator could not catch the ticking of the machine which was bringing the glad news of the young Olympian's phenomenal success against the champion of the heavyweight contingent of pugilists. \u0084 V A large number of the members had wager* on the result, length of time the contest would last, and as the majority had bet that it would not exceed twenty rounds, the feeling of excitement among the bettors on rounds grew intense as the battle pro- gressed. Oscar Dodly looked sad when round fif- teen had passed. •'I was positive that I had a cinch on that bet," said Dolly to a friend, "but I see cinches and sure things don't always count to the good nowadays." Eddie Kolb had a pocketful of Corbett short-end tickets, and he was helping Jim to win by punch >ng a friend who sat on his left with his elbow each time the screen announced Corbett lands on Sully's nose or body. When round five appeared with the an- nouncement that Corbett had scored first blood the chairs In the building must have suffered. One young man was so exceed- ing overjoyed with the news that in the blind attempt to knock the varnish off a chair with a silver-mounted walking-stick, be overshot the mark and smashed a hole in the hat of another young man who was yel- ling for Corbett at the top of his voice. The gentleman who had his hat disfigured so badly must, undoubtedly, have been equally as excited as the "tile" smasher, for he turned to the latter and apologized for his hat being in the way. Eugene Van Court, who was so positive that Corbett would be the champion of the world, was the least excitable man in the building. Each time the rounds ended .with the words "Corbett had the best of It," Van Court smiled and quietly remarked to a friend that he was not at nil surprised, as be expected just what was coming. BillyBrown 'who always said that Cor- bett would climb to the top of the ladder, was chock full of joy. "I can see Jim now in my mind," re- marked Billy, "just fiddling with the big fellow and laughing at his exhausted efforts to reach a vital spot. lie must be having gre it fun with the giant, but John can't hit him hard enough to do any damage. Jim will win sure." The president of the club, William Greer Harrison, another stanch Olympian who. had prophesied Corbett's succoss. watched the results with great interest. Mr. Harri- son scarcely spoke a word until one of the rounds brought the gleeful tidings that Cor- bett had forced Sullivan against the ropes and was hammering him hard. At this juncture Mr. Harrison remarked to his friend. A. J. Trent: "That settles it; Cor- bett will be the champion iv a very few minutes." - \ . The excitement among the members when the result of the twenty-first round came can be better imagined than described. Hats, canes, coats and chairs were thrown in the air, and such hearty handshaking over the grand success of the club's oldbox- ing instructor has not been witnessed since the club was organized. When the excitement attached to the re- sult of Corbett's great victory somewhat abated the voting for officers took place and resulted in the success of the regular ticket. The only opposition to the success of the above ticket was Edward A Kolb, who was opposed by Clemen i J. Schuster. The lat- ter's name appeared for leader, on * the regular members' ticket. The result of tho election was as follows: For Board of Directors— William Greer Harrison 450 votes, Vanderlynn Stow 451 votes, Alexander C. Forsyth : 189 votes, Henry li. Rati 452 votes. Clement J. Schuster 185 votes, Robert MacArthur 452 votes, M. 11. Weed 452 votes, A. .1. Treat 452 votes, Joseph D. Redding 452 votes, Charles S. Wiehnd 452 votes, James Mc- E1r0y452 votes, E.

After the final result arrived a rush was made for Corbett's poolrooms :on Ellis street. Special officers guarded the doors so as to prevent any damage to the place, but their services were not required, as the crowd was by no means boisterous or turbu- lent. The champion's brothers and the cham- pion's father received congratulations from all sides. Handshaking and good wishes was. of course, the order of the evening. Corbett Sr. was go completely overjoyed with the news of bis son's success, that he repaired immediately alter the remit was announced to his residence on Hayes street to meet his family and friends, where a pleasant evening was spent and a good time enjoyed over the news of James J.

" When the wires had flashed the to many unexpected result the champion's picture was slowly removed from its prominent position unadorned by the laurels of victory and in its place soon afterward appeared that of James J. Corbett, "Our Boy Jim," champion of tbe world. A cheer, which must have been heard at the Corbett residence, came from the lungs of the surging mass of men who had com- pletely taken possession of the poolrooms, and three cheers and a tiger were then heartily given for the young Olympian as his face was turned toward the crowd of anxious people who watched the floral art- ist putting the evergreen finishing touches on the carte de visite of the most polished boxer and pugilist the world has ever seen. Thousands of dollars were lost in this city on the result. The betting ui> to the time the men entered the ring was $20 to gy with Corbett on the short end, and at these figures Corbett money was very scarce. The general sporting public seemed to think that Corbett could not possibly stand up to Sullivan for many rounds and as a consequence numbers of heavy wagers were laid that the fight would not last thir- teen rounds. The combination pools were knocked sky- high by Corbett's defeat of Sullivan. It was the greatest surprise the public ever had In the way of a pugilistic contest, but as Tun Call stated in last Sunday's sporting column, "Jackson had fooled the boys by defeating Paddy Francis Slavln, and the probabilities were that 'Our James' would fool the knowing ones also." A number of people who had carefully read and thought over the article in ques- tion came to tho wise conclusion to either leave the fight severely alone from a betting point of view, or lay a little on Corbett's great cleverness and ring generalship as against Sullivan's phenomenal hitting pow- ers and endurance. v^vf AT THE OKFUEU.-. A Mimic Representation Given of the Flatlc Contest. A mimic show of the great fight was given at the Orpheum under the patronage of the Pacific Athletic Club. . The absorbing interest in the contest was shown by the great crowd there as well aj in the various other places where the new 3 was being received. A ring had been erected on the stage and a woodland scene set. Billy Smith of Aus- tralia and Joseph King were the con- testants, and fought from the same relative corners that Corbett and Sullivan did. They were attended by seconds and all the other helpers in such a contest. Behind the ring was a stand on which a telegrapher received the news of the con- test, which President William Harrison an- nounced to the audience. The boxers took their cues from him and posed in the positions and attitudes do- scribed, or pummeled each other, landed blows and acted the details of the fight as announced. At the sound of the gong they retired lo their respective corners and between an- nouncements they filled iv the time boxing around the ring. " ,- The work was warm and they earned their money. ;; :;].:.„. - In a comer pools were sold, and at the beginning of the contest 20 to 15 on Sulli- van. : - \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0'';-'\u25a0'**"-• i ; .vH- ; - The crowd was for Corbett, or at least it made the noisiest demonstrations with every announcement that favored him. According to these announcements, and they came fast and furious, it was evident and the comment was general that "Sulli- van was not in it." Corbett stock was on the upward rise, and before the eighth round pools were 100 to 40 and then 100 to 90 on Sulllvau. The greatest satisfaction was derived from such pieces of intelligence as that in the thirteenth round Sullivan was "very mad"; that the other man "acted on the defensive," yet success- fully jabbed his opponent time and again in the stomach or in the mouth. - If the announcements were Intended to buoy up Corbett's admirers and dishearten the others they admirably served their pur- pose. That Corbett drew first blood and through- out was reported to come up fresh and smiling for every round gave the most in- tense satisfaction. The announcement of Sullivan being knocked through the rope? in the fourteenth was received with loud cheers. "Sullivan says that he can always call the turn on himself and would knock out Cor- bett in fifteen rounds. Now we'll see whether he will,"argued the enthusiast. Frenzied interest was manifested there- fore In the acting of that round. Cheers were given when upon Its conclu- sion Corbett had not been knocked out, but hard blows had been given at close quarters and the pugilists were reported to have clinched. Then came the news that for the sixteenth Corbett seemed to be the fresher and Sulli- van breathed hard. "Thai's bad," was heard on all sides as if uttered by. one man. Corbett's reported confidence in the seven- teenth, his rushing fight in the eighteenth, opening with the landing of heavy blows on Sullivan's jaw, taken in connection with the non-materialization of the Sullivan knockout Plans, greatly raised the hopes of the Corbett contingent, and loud cheers greeted each announcement. "Sullivan looks vicious and angry." " Oh," exclaimed the knowing ones for Sullivan. -:^ "Corbett Is smiling." Corresponding elation on the part of the Corbettites. : :;.'- --."Sullivan taking no chances, but acting cautiously." -> Corbett stock took another upward jump. "Sullivan thoroughly winded." The house broke out in yells, loud and prolonged. \u25a0 \u25a0-\u0084 ; ' The excitement was at blood heat when the gong sounded for the nineteenth round. "Corbett lands Sullivan on the ropes and hits him half a dozen times." Vociferous approval followed this piece of intelligence, and was manifested by pro- longed shouts, veils and the stamping of feet. ' . ; ' -'* -*.*\u25a0> The pool-sellers were crying out: "Even money on Sullivan winning the fi^ht:" Strange to say. that, with the one-sided bulletins, the offer passed unheeded. Cor bett crowd as It was in sentiment. It was willing to cheer and drink in the reas- suring new-, but no more. . The next good piece of news was that for file twentieth round Corbett seemed the fresher of the two.- ;-:" : -^K.^ Then came the last round, with Corbett rushing it and punching his opponent around the ring. No one imagined that the end was so near at hand. "Sullivan Knocked down by a terrible right-hander!" The house rose to Its feet. - '"•;;' "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." •" - ;;' "Sullivan knocked out I" Fever heat had been reached. Deafening cries and shouts went up, con- tinuing fully one minute. The hoarse and excited throng, among whom there was a fair sprinkling of the fair sex, then moved out and joined in the street the still greater crowds of shouting and ex- cited people who had left the newspaper bulletin-boards. ALONG THE STREETS. The Excitement as High as on Presiden- tial Election Bity. \u25a0 So also at the rooms of the California Athletic Club on Howard street. A telegraphist was stationed there and received the news direetfrom New Orleans, Hilly Jordan making the announcements. The audience. was quite numerous, but the excitement was rather suppressed in defer- ence, perhaps, to the many ladles present. The streets downtown were thronged, and the excitement comparable only to that of Presidential election day. Long after midnight excited and shouting crowds were onthe principal streets.. They were flushed 'as much over the victory us they were otherwise by reason of exhilar- ating beverages., J SCENE IS MOST OF THE CORBETT UOVBE. •John _ . Sullivan at the Age of If Tears.

HFECTED SHIPS STILL QIARA-TI.iED. " Canada,, to Enforce Rigid Regulations Against Foreign Vessels The Disease Still Viru- lent in Europe. Special to The Moßsiso Call. New Tobk, Sept. 7.—The weather is brighter and frostier and every way more bracing than any day since the cholera made its appearance at this port. Here New York all feeling of alarm has subsided, as the work of cleaning and disinfecting goes on. Ex-Suraeon-General Hamilton said this afternoon that he thought the cholera could be successfully kept from getting into New York. Dr. Hamilton went on board the Manhattan and will make atrip down to the islands, with tents, which will be erected for tbe accommodation of well emigrants from the steamers Normannia and Kugia, the forces of which are already on shore. Dr. Hamilton is on a special mission repre- senting the Federal authorities. Dr. Jenkins this evening wrote' the Sec- retary of the Treasury calling attention to the hardship of detaining the cabin passen- gers of the incoming steamers upon the overcrowded vessels which are infected or have sailed lrom infected ports, and stating that it was extremely important that prompt provision be made for the removal of these passengers to a suitable locality. He has decided that the most suitable locality is Fire Island, where hotel accommodations exist for at least 10CO person?, with space for a large number in tents or temporary barracks, aud he requests that he be given immediate possession of tbe island for the purpose named. A letter was published this evening from one of the lady passengers on tbe .Norman- nia, complaining that they are shut up, and speaking bitterly of the way the steamship company neglected them. "All would be patient," she says, "could they feel that any wise care was being exercised and they could be removed from the crew and the stokers, tbe enly people Inclined to any kind of illness. The captain," says the lady, in her letter, "has no control over the crew and the stokers. Their wages had to be guaranteed by the passengers or they would not work, since their engagements with the company were over on their arrival on this side." Quarantine, N. V.—Dr. Jenkins has lust returned from lower quarantine and reported two new cases among the crew of the steamship Normannia, but no deaths. This afternoon Dr. Depew of the City of New York sent his compliments to Health Officer Jenkins, and regretted that the Health Officer had not been able to board the Inman liner in person. Dr. Jenkins re- plied by the following message: "Present my compliments to Dr. Depew and my re- grets that I must detain him and his ship until to-morrow at least." Dr. Depew said he spent much time in Hamburg, not far from Hamburg. The cholera scare is great iii Europe, especially among Americans. As a matter of fact there is no cholera in Europe except on the sea- board. It is very violent and could not possibly be more virulent. All the cases could be traced directly to Hamburg, and were undoubtedly taken there by Russian emigants. Dr. Depew indorsed the action of the Government in fighting cholera. he Waesland, from Antwerp, which ar- rived this morning, had on board 102 cabin and 4G5 steerage passengers. They are all in good health. On the City of New i'ork. arrived this morning, there are 627 first cabin, 185 second and 427 steerage passen- gers. The}', too. are well. Secretary Foster came down the bay on the revenue cutter Grant to meet his wife, who is on tbe City of New York. The Grant steamed alongside the City of New York, and Mr. Foster held a conversation with his wife from the deck, but did not board the steamer. He received permission to do this from Dr. Jenkins The passen- gers of the La Bourgogne will probably be released to-morrow morning, and possibly the ship also. The Persian Monarch and the Anchor Line E'ysia have been released. The oil-tank Brilliant, which arrived from Hamburg on Sunday, was inspected and fumigated by Dr. Talmadge to-day and al- lowed to go up. The steamer Wyoming, which arrived last night, was also boarded by Dr. Talraadge. She had 273 cabin and 363 steerago passen- gers aboard. Among the steerage passen- gers were fiftyRussians. The immigrants are liable to be detained for some time. The Western Union steamer left here this morning to lay a cable to Swinburn Island, which will be directed by the doctor's of- fice. .

FRANCIS KERNAN DEAD. The Celebrated Jurist Passes Away at Itica, Aged 76 Years. Utica. N. V., Sept. 7.— Ex-United State- Senator Francis Kernan died in this city this afternoon, aged To years. Francis Kernan was born In Steuben County, N. V., January 14, 1816. He re- ceived his education at the Georgetown College in the district of Columbia, and chose the law for his profession, setting al Utica, N. Y. He held for a time the office of Reporter of the Court of Appeals in New York State and was elected to the Legisla- ture. In 1862 he was nominated by his party for Congress in the Oneida District, Roscoe Conkiing opposing him. The con- test was a very bitter one, but Kernan was successful. In 1872 he was nomi- nated for Governor, -Chauncey Depew —then a Liberal-Republican— running for Lieutenant-Governor on the same ticket. This was the Greeley year, and although Kernan made a magnificent canv.iss—speak- ing with Depew in every county in the State— the alliance of the Democracy with the Liberal Republicans the Mug- wumps of that day— failed to meet Sopuiar approval, and as a result ohnA. Dix, the regular Republican nom- inee, was elected. When his party gained control of the Legislature by the election of 1874, the Sanatorsblp was conceded to Francis Kernan, and he was elected in January of the following year. After his term in the Senate expired Mr. Kernan resumed the practice of his profession in Utica, in which he continued until he re- tired from all active work some five or six years ago. Francis Kernati was a leader of the bar of Oneida County when itranked second to few bars in the United States. Among his many associates were John A. Spencer, with whom he studied his profession, Samuel Beardsley, and later. Ward Hunt, lioscoe Conkiing and Charles A. Doollttle. AN INDIANA TRAGEDY. Fatal Result of a Family Quarrel— Two Men Killed. Bloomington, Ind., Sept. 7.—A terrible affray occurred at Payne, in this county, at 1o'clock this morning, In which two men were killed, one at the hands of his son-in- law and the other by the enraged daughter of the victim. Shortly after midnight Richard Wright and his daughter were awakened by a shout a short distance from them. Wright, recognizing the voice as that of his son-in-law, Dole Judah, went to the door and started to the fence, when a shot was fired by Judah. Wright ran Into the house, where he secured an ax, and started toward Judah, when a terrific scuffle en- sued. The old man was shot three times once in the head and twice in the neck. During the struggle with Judah, old man Wright called for his daughter to knock Judah off with the ax he had. The daugh- ter secured the ax, and just as Judah shot the last time she struck Judah a terrific blow on tbe back of the head, killing him instantly. Both men lay dead on the grass. Judah was in Bloomington las: night and was drinking heavily. He had trouble with his wife that afternoon, and it is supposed he went to his father-in-law's with the in- tention of killingthe old man, aid also bis wife, but the wife was not there. Wright was about CO years old and Judah 35 years aud a hard character. * : ; THE RACETRACK TRAGEDY. The "Wounded Policeman May Eec:ver— The Trouble Still Unsettled.

CLEVERNESS OF THE CIUMtBUL

The Bo&tonian Badly Punished Fromthe Outset

SUILITA- _ FAMOUS RUSHES of so AVAIL

C.rbctt Successfully Withstands Tunish.sent and Finally Fights Sullivan

to the Floor.

Special to The Morning Cal_

New Orleans. Sept 7.— The laurel hasshifted. John L. Sullivan has had somenew sensations, so has James Corbett. Onehas been knocked off the pedestal of pugil-istic championship and the other hasclimbed into bis place. The Californiaheavyweight, Corbett, has knocked out thechampion, John L. Sullivan, and has wonbesides some $45,000.. Itnow appears to the spectators, if tbetruth is told, that Corbett won easily. Theimpress tou left by the rapid spectacle isthat Sullivan was at no moment in the pathof success, and the physical evidences ofthis, as apparent at the finish, what werethey? Corbett, the winner, at tb,e momentof his victory, was keen, quick, alert inevery round, unmarked by bruise or blood.His face was aglow with steady interest-and Itwore a half-smile, and he was ready

to attack his foe with ferocious force badthat foe been able to rise. These were theconditions of victory.

Sullivan was reeking withblood, smashed,bruised, jellied nearly, if not quite entirelyso. These were the evidences of defeat,

and itwas when these had been establishedthat the laurels shifted and a new man hasbeen born into championship.

Why was Sullivan dethroned? He him-self had contributed to the causes of hisown downfall. Had his life had no excessesSullivan would have been able to fight thebattle more effectively to retain his prestige.Be is not relatively so good a man at 34 ashundreds of other men at that age. Hisface is furrowed, not alone by years, butby the methods of his own living.

His ponderous body, too, bore traces notalone of time, but of easy living. His con-dition was not comparable with that of hisvictorious foe. Itcould not be. There wasthe accumulation of age and the wide free-dom which could not be trained away with-out Impairing the man.

Sullivan, too, ha« been overconfident.He bad been contemptuous of the needfulmeasures for his perfect condition. He wasSullivan, and Sullivan could not loose inbattle.

Corbett has taught him otherwise, andhow, starting with eight years less of life'sinevitable wear, he had conserved hispowers, perfected the methods of their use,charging his heart meanwhile, confidentthat be would become kingof bis kind. Hiswas the capital of brawn and muscle uponwhich to build up the fortune of victory andreputation.Itmay not be carelessly said that Corbett

at 26 years of age is a better man than Sallivan was at that age, but assuming theywere equally good men st equal ages, theanalysis of this victory comes back to thefact that while some men of 34 may whipsome men of X, the elder man being thevictor must not have added to his ownmethods of depletion to those which thesilent years so surely employ.

Sullivan came forward to-night into theglare of twenty electric lights, his sensesfed by the shouts of those who willflaunthim now. The majority believed in him.Why should not the champion believe inhimself? So, while they yelled with wor-shiping plaudit, he sat down inhis cornerand with easy interest scanned the powerfulfellow opposite.

Somehow there Is homage in the eager at-tention the trainers bestow upon theirenamplon, snd to-night while Sullivan en-joyed this hi«heavy form sagged down as hesat waiting the Dreliminuries. Those whoscanned him closely saw welts of flesh onbis abdomen rolling far over the edge of hisfirmlydrawn belt. Itshould not have beentbe obesity of age, for the man to-nlgbtshould be in the ptime of his years. Wasitdistension surely following wise suppersand hot dinners of rich foods? Who shallBSV?

While sitting thus under the eyes of hun-dreds whose scrutiny was sharpened bytheir money on the result, Sullivan was inturn studying his foe. And what did hesee? In the opposite corner, out of whichall the victors in the Olympic Club havegone to victory, there sat a splendid speci-men of human flesh and bone. Sullivan•aw a smiling and confident face. He•aw a neck • that had poise andstrength. He saw a chest deep enoughto bold a bellows. He saw a pair ofbrowned shoulders where piled musclescrept and glided beneath the skin. Hebe-held outstretched upon the ropes while thetrainers did their service a pair of arms aslong as those of a windmill, bunched withlithe, driving muscles, with the blood andnerve of youth. _

The champion beheld a foe whose ab-dominal curve was clean-cut, roundlike Inits lines. There was no adipose tissue toclog his lungs or to burden the freedom ofbis action. Like a racer was Corbett—trim, solid, balanced physically at everypoint, unless, indeed, his long legs seemeda trifle light for bis muscular shoulders andbody. But those who doubted the power ofbis lithe under limbs could not know howlike steel they had been tempered to bendwithout breaking under stress and tension.Doubters learned later what iron thews layalong these slender columns that shoulduphold the man.

BE I-ORE THE FIGHT.

The Olympic Club Crowded With EagerThrongs of Spectators.

Olympic Club, New Orleans, Sept.

7.—The excitement that has prevailed inthis city has bad no parallel since the Italianassassination eighteen months ago. Therehas been no subject of conversation dis-cussed in any quarter save the event of thisevening, in which every portion of the civ-ilized world Is more or less deeply inter-ested. Ithas apparently affected the outsideworld as deeply as Itdid the participants inthe battle. Both men were known to be inprime condition, and the greatest fight ofthe series was looked forward to by allwithkeen anticipation.

There was a universal move In the direc-tion of the club even before evening beganto fall. Business men, lawyers and journal-ists took their dinners downtown and hadvehicles ordered early. They were willingto wait at the club, but they were unwillingto waste time going down.

At6 o'clock carriages were already head-ing down Canal street, which was crowdedwith people and vehicles. Down the Inter-secting streets were a line of carriagesreaching to the scene of the battle. DownIn tbe neighborhood of the club for blocksand blocks carriages were strung along thecurbstones, and every street corner bad acrowd.

*J

_.:.The Sullivan people came to the club

first. They took a carriage at the hotel be-fore 7 o'clock and drove leisurely down withtbe string of backs. Sullivan looked strong

and determined. He walked with a jauntyair and came in so easy with the line ofpeople entering at the time that only a fewnoticed him.

Both contestants were in the building at8 o'clock, but they were kept in strict seclu-sion. As the crowd recognized the well-known pugilists and sporting men theywere cheered. The poolrooms closed withbetting Ito3against Corbett. Atß:o7 therewere fully 9000 people in the arena. Sulli-van's weight was 212 pounds, Corbett's 189.Both men were in fine fettle.

Inthe toss for corners Corbett won andchose the lucky one that Dixon and Mc-Auiiffefought in. >.

BigJim Corbett followed In the wake ofthe champion, coming li*. fifteen minuteslater. When bis party pulugd upinfront of

the door the street was cleared and an ave-nue was opened into the building. Corbettcame in first, with a light step, and his facewreathed in smiles.

The first sign of the contest for the cham-pionship of America came in the person ofPolice Captain Barrett, who went into thering at five minutes to 9 o'clock. The scaleson which the cloves were weighed were laidbeside the center of the post.

Ex-Mayor Guillot. who acted as master ofceremonies, entered the arena a few min-utes later and made a speech, warning thespectators to he careful not to violate anyrule of the club.

Sullivan entered the ring first, dressed In

freen trunks and black slices and socks,le looked in perfect condition. Corbett

followed a moment later, looking pale andfinely drawn beside his bulky antagonist.He wore an at of- confidence, however,and smiled and nodded to his acquaintancesaround the ring, though he was said bysome people to be a littlenervous.

Police Captain Barrett stepped to thecenter of the ring and presented ProfessorJohn Duffy with a beautiful silver ice-bowl and ladle.

John Donaldson and Billy Pelaney wereannounced as Corbett's seconds, with BatMasterson as timekeeper. Charley John-son anil Jack McAuiiffe were the secondsfor John L. Sullivan and Frank Moran wastimekeeper. The gloves were weighed andfound to be secording to law and they weregiven to the fighters. In tile parley whichwas held in the center of the ring Corbettlooked entirely outclassed in point of build,though his friends relied upon his clever-ness to win the battle. The pivot blow andback-heeling were barred by mutual con-sent, and the men agreeing to fight fair,they were sent to their corners to get readyfor thetray.

THE 810 BATTLE.

Sullivan Takes the Aggressive and Cor-bett Become! Cautious.

First round— The battle commenced at9:10o'cloo"_ Both men stepped lightly to

AFTER THE CONTEST.

Corbett Scan After tha Fight and Con-grntnl-ted on Hit Victory.

New Orleans, Sept. 7.—Corbett wasseen immediately after he entered his dress-ing-room by an Associated Press re-porter. When he came in a dozenor more men sprang forward toshake his hand, but he pushedthem back saying: "Don't get so excited. IknowIwon, and Iknow you are glad ofit, but don't try to crowd me to death.Look at me, 1 am not excited, and whyshould you people be. Just set away fromme and let me get a little air."

He then lay on bis rot and was rubbeddown before being weighed. He tipped thescale at 174 pounds, showing that he hadonly lost five pounds during the fight. Inanswers to questions, Corbett said: "Iknewwhat Icould do. Ibad been practicing forweeks to guard against bis particular styleof fighting, and felt just as confident ofwinningas Idid that Iwas alive."

Bob Fitzsimmons knocked at the door andwanted to see Corbett. "Don't let him in,"said the new champion. "Idon't want tosee him. The big duffer would not comenear me before the fight aud Iwont see b.mnow."

Fitzslmmons afterward peeked over the |top of the door, and called to Corbett, butJim told him to get down, that he would |have nothing to do with nim. The big iCalifornian said he did not feel the least I.bit tired and had worked ten times harderthan that eveiy day he bad trained for thefight. 'm";c .-*:-./.."Iam satisfied Icould have whipped him

very much sooner had Imixed and goneinto hard in-fighting. But Iwas a triflewary. On several occasions Iwas sorelytempted to close right In on him and Johim quick, but my second kept at me tobe cautious; thatIwas doing well and lav-ing tbe best of it, and that Ihad betterfight a little shy of bis right hand."

When Mike Donovan entered the room iCorbett sprang to his feet, shook hands with jhim very cordially and said: ."Well, Mil-, Jwe got on top at last. Mike, mv boy, everyword you .said about Sullivan was right.He fought just as you said he would fight,and Ifollowed your advice and hero Iam awinner and the champion. Iscarcely know,how to thank you and express my gratitudeto you."

New Orleans, Sept. 7. -Billy Delaney,who really deserves groat credit for gettingCorbett into his present magnificent con-dition, as no trainer ever worked morefaithfully with a man than he did withCorbett, is highly elated over the victory.He said he not only considered Corbettthe greatest fighter in the world, butthat Corbett could take Peter JacksonIn the same ring he whipped Sullivan inand whip the colored man as easy as, heknocked out the big fellow. "This man Itell you is a wonder. Why look at him, hehas not got a scratch oreven a red mark ofany description on him to show that he hasbeen fighting."

Atthis time a messenger entered the roomand informed Corbett that his wife was onthe other end of the wire and wanted to talkto him.

"On, Ican't go now," said stalwart Jim."Just give her mv love, and tell her Iamall right, feeling well, aud not hurt a bit."

Lanil was the new champion heavy- weightpugilist of the world was received in thiscity with something likeastonishment.

The Corbett men were in the minority,and their demeanor was in strange contrastwith that of the followers ot the Bos-\u25a0oa boy. The great majority couldnot believe that Sullivan had at lastmet his match, and his friends lingeredaround the telegraph offices and bulletinboards hoping that there had been a mis-take, but wheu itwas definitely known thatrorbett was now champion the enthusiasmknew no bounds, the staunchest Sullivanmen being tho loudest in their praises of the

places where bulletins of the Corbett-Sulli-van fight were read than ever gatheredon the streets to hear the news of the Presi-dential election. Telegraph bulletins wereposted on more than a score of places, allof which were crowded. There must havebeen 50,000 people standing outdoors atthese places hearing tho news.

At an Over-the-Kbine saloon, which wasfull of people, ,the floor went into thecellar. No one was hurt, but a lot ofwhiskey and beer went to waste.

AT THE OLYMPIC CLUB.

flowthe Members and Their Friends Re-ceived the Sews.

The announcement that the Olympic Clubhad made preparations to give its members"the full returns" of the championshipbattle between James J. Cotbett of thiscity and John L. Sullivan of Bostoncrowded the gymnasium last evening.Itwas also election night, and the excite-

ment attached to both was something thatthe club never previously experienced.

The result of each round as it flashedover the wires and Into the building wasgiven to the large gathering of interestedspectators by means of a stereoptlcon.

When the rounds ended in Corbett'sfavor the athletic shouts of young and oldmembers startled the audience of theAlcazar Theater, which is situated almostimmediately under the gymnasium.

In fact, the excitement grew to such apitch that ithad no bounds, and PresidentHarrison had to request the members toremain somewhat quiet, as the operator

could not catch the ticking of the machinewhich was bringing the glad news of theyoung Olympian's phenomenal successagainst the champion of the heavyweightcontingent of pugilists.

\u0084„V

A large number of the members hadwager* on the result, length of time thecontest would last, and as the majority hadbet that it would not exceed twenty rounds,the feeling of excitement among the bettorson rounds grew intense as the battle pro-gressed.

Oscar Dodly looked sad when round fif-teen had passed.

•'I was positive thatIhad a cinch on thatbet," said Dolly to a friend, "but Iseecinches and sure things don't always countto the good nowadays."

Eddie Kolb had a pocketful of Corbettshort-end tickets, and he was helping Jimto win by punch >ng a friend who sat on hisleft with his elbow each time the screenannounced Corbett lands on Sully's nose orbody.

When round five appeared with the an-nouncement that Corbett had scored firstblood the chairs In the building must havesuffered. One young man was so exceed-ing overjoyed with the news that in theblind attempt to knock the varnish off achair with a silver-mounted walking-stick,be overshot the mark and smashed a hole inthe hat of another young man who was yel-ling for Corbett at the topof his voice. Thegentleman who had his hat disfigured sobadlymust, undoubtedly, have been equallyas excited as the "tile" smasher, for heturned to the latter and apologized for hishat being in the way.

Eugene Van Court, who was so positivethat Corbett would be the champion of theworld, was the least excitable man in thebuilding.

Each time the rounds ended .with thewords "Corbett had the best of It,"VanCourt smiled and quietly remarked to afriend that he was not at nil surprised, asbe expected just what was coming.

BillyBrown 'who always said that Cor-bett would climb to the top of the ladder,was chock full of joy."Ican see Jim now in my mind," re-

marked Billy, "just fiddling with the bigfellow and laughing at his exhausted effortsto reach a vital spot. liemust be havinggre it fun with the giant, but John can't hithim hard enough to do any damage. Jimwill win sure."

The president of the club, William GreerHarrison, another stanch Olympian who.had prophesied Corbett's succoss. watchedthe results withgreat interest. Mr. Harri-son scarcely spoke a word until one of therounds brought the gleeful tidings that Cor-bett had forced Sullivan against the ropesand was hammering him hard. At thisjuncture Mr. Harrison remarked to hisfriend. A. J. Trent: "That settles it; Cor-bett willbe the champion iv a very fewminutes." -

\ .The excitement among the members when

the result of the twenty-first round camecan be better imagined than described.Hats, canes, coats and chairs were thrownin the air, and such hearty handshakingover the grand success of the club's oldbox-ing instructor has not been witnessed sincethe club was organized.

When the excitement attached to the re-sult of Corbett's great victory somewhatabated the voting for officers took place andresulted in the success of the regularticket.

AT CORRETT'S TOOLROOM.

Scenes During the Crowning of the Cham-pion Willi the. Laurels of Victory.

After the final result arrived a rush wasmade for Corbett's poolrooms :on Ellisstreet. Special officers guarded the doors

so as to prevent any damage to the place,but their services were not required, as thecrowd was by no means boisterous or turbu-lent. The champion's brothers and the cham-pion's father received congratulations fromall sides. Handshaking and good wisheswas. of course, the order of the evening.Corbett Sr. was go completely overjoyedwith the news of bis son's success, that herepaired immediately alter the remit wasannounced to his residence on Hayes streetto meet his family and friends, where apleasant evening was spent and a good timeenjoyed over the news of James J. Corbettbeing crowned champion pugilist of theworld.

- ' '. v-vr-:- \u25a0 v^.,-';*--

Before the battle was begun Harry Cor-bett, with all due credit to John L. Sulli-van.placed the big fellow's photograph overthe bar, and on each side of the famousgladiator's picture were hung the likenessesof champions Jack McAuiiffe and GeorgeDixon. -:f/^'J.i '~:::':::-

The two latter pictures were tastefullydecorated by AlLean with a profusion offlowers. ;*-:: ;j--;;>

Sullivan's photo remained to be decora-ted in case he proved his title to the honor,he held for so many years, puglllsticallyspeaking." When the wires had flashed the to manyunexpected result the champion's picturewas slowly removed from its prominentposition unadorned by the laurels of victoryand in its place soon afterward appearedthat of James J. Corbett, "Our Boy Jim,"champion of tbe world.

A cheer, which must have been heard atthe Corbett residence, came from the lungsof the surging mass of men who had com-pletely taken possession of the poolrooms,and three cheers and a tiger were thenheartily given for the young Olympian ashis face was turned toward the crowd ofanxious people who watched the floral art-ist putting the evergreen finishing toucheson the carte de visite of the most polishedboxer and pugilist the world has ever seen.

Thousands of dollars were lost in this cityon the result. The betting ui> to the timethe men entered the ring was $20 to gy withCorbett on the short end, and at thesefigures Corbett money was very scarce.

The general sporting public seemed tothink that Corbett could not possibly standup to Sullivan for many rounds and as aconsequence numbers of heavy wagerswere laid that the fight would not last thir-teen rounds.

The combination pools were knocked sky-high by Corbett's defeat of Sullivan.Itwas the greatest surprise the public

ever had In the way of a pugilistic contest,but as Tun Call stated in last Sunday'ssporting column, "Jackson had fooled theboys by defeating Paddy Francis Slavln,and the probabilities were that 'Our James'would fool the knowing ones also."

A number of people who had carefullyread and thought over the article in ques-tion came to tho wise conclusion to eitherleave the fight severely alone from a bettingpoint of view, or lay a little on Corbett'sgreat cleverness and ring generalship asagainst Sullivan's phenomenal hitting pow-ers and endurance. v^vf

AT THE OKFUEU.-.

A Mimic Representation Given of theFlatlc Contest.

A mimic show of the great fight wasgiven at the Orpheum under the patronage

of the Pacific Athletic Club. .The absorbing interest in the contest was

shown by the great crowd there as well ajin the various other places where the new 3was being received.

A ring had been erected on the stage anda woodland scene set. BillySmith of Aus-tralia and Joseph King were the con-testants, and fought from the same relativecorners that Corbett and Sullivan did.

They were attended by seconds and allthe other helpers in such a contest.

Behind the ring was a stand on which atelegrapher received the news of the con-test, which President William Harrison an-nounced to the audience.

The boxers took their cues from him andposed in the positions and attitudes do-scribed, or pummeled each other, landedblows and acted the details of the fight asannounced.

Atthe sound of the gong they retired lotheir respective corners and between an-nouncements they filled iv the time boxingaround the ring.

The crowd was for Corbett, or at least itmade the noisiest demonstrations with everyannouncement that favored him.

According to these announcements, andthey came fast and furious, it was evidentand the comment was general that "Sulli-van was not in it."

Corbett stock was on the upward rise, andbefore the eighth round pools were 100 to 40and then 100 to 90 on Sulllvau. The greatest

satisfaction was derived from such piecesof intelligence as that in the thirteenth roundSullivan was "very mad"; that the otherman "acted on the defensive," yet success-fully jabbed his opponent time and again inthe stomach or in the mouth.

-If the announcements were Intended to

buoy up Corbett's admirers and disheartenthe others they admirably served their pur-pose.

That Corbett drew first blood and through-out was reported to come up fresh andsmiling for every round gave the most in-tense satisfaction.

The announcement of Sullivan beingknocked through the rope? in the fourteenthwas received with loud cheers.

"Sullivan says that he can always call theturn on himself and would knock out Cor-bett in fifteen rounds. Now we'll seewhether he will,"argued the enthusiast.

Frenzied interest was manifested there-fore In the acting of that round.

Cheers were given when upon Its conclu-sion Corbett had not been knocked out, buthard blows had been given at close quartersand the pugilists were reported to haveclinched.

Then came the news that for the sixteenthCorbett seemed to be the fresher and Sulli-van breathed hard.

"Thai's bad," was heard on all sides as ifuttered by.one man.

Corbett's reported confidence in the seven-teenth, his rushing fight in the eighteenth,opening with the landing of heavy blows onSullivan's jaw, taken in connection withthe non-materialization of the Sullivanknockout Plans, greatly raised the hopes ofthe Corbett contingent, and loud cheersgreeted each announcement.

"Sullivan looks vicious and angry.""Oh," exclaimed the knowing ones forSullivan. -:^
