Celphia Item Of the 18th inst, and brought
with him quite budget OF pugilistc news.
a pocket-knIfe Of the most elaborate kind,
with a frame Of solid gold inlaid with gold
quartz. was one of the many handsome
presents he received from Moses Gun5t. Il
saw tue fight" said Wakely, and while in
some respects it was an interesting eXhi-
6itlOn. yet l hardly think that IT was worth
travelling several thousand miles to see.
Corbett should have beaten the black. OF
this there IS not the slightest doubt in my
mind. Jackson was IN mighty bad shape
along about the fOrty-ftth round, and if
Corbett's seconds had instructed him TO 90
IN and Egut he would have won to moral
certainty. Corbett was trained too fine.
W hen / saw them strip to the bun in the
ring 1 didn't believe Jim had chance for
first money. He was as timid as he could
be for a few rounds but after jackson had
landed dozen punches and didn't hurt him
the White man gained confidence II they
ever meet again il is five to one on COrbeUt."

ago, when l was managing a saloon at
Sydney, l used TO have both boys sparring
