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.

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.

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.

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."

Success of the California- Pleased BillyI.UI-.T.

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

Chicago, Sept. 7.—Much Chicago moneywas on Corbett and all of it at good odds,and when the result was announced thecrowds simply went wild. The excitementsurpassed anything seen since the last na-tional election.

Buffalo and many other cities are to thesame effect.

Cincinnati. Sept. 7.—The streets of Cin-cinnati, Covington and Newport exhibitedthe bpectacle of greater ci? _» around 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.

The only opposition to the success of theabove ticket was Edward A Kolb, who wasopposed by ClemeniJ. Schuster. The lat-ter's name appeared for leader, on

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 work was warm and they earnedtheir money. ;;:;].:.„. -

In a comer pools were sold, and at thebeginning of the contest 20 to 15 on Sulli-van. :

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. -:^

•"Corbett Is smiling."Corresponding elation on the part of the

Corbettites. : :;.'---."Sullivan taking no chances, but actingcautiously." ->

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 whenthe gong sounded for the nineteenth round.

"Corbett lands Sullivan on the ropes andhits him half a dozen times."

Vociferous approval followed this piece ofintelligence, and was manifested by pro-longed shouts, veils and the stamping offeet.

Then came the last round, with Corbettrushing it and punching his opponentaround the ring.

No one imagined that the end was so nearat hand.

The audience. was quite numerous, but theexcitement was rather suppressed in defer-ence, perhaps, to the many ladles present.
