New ORLEANS, Sept. s.-lSpeciall-
Sullivan slept this morning until awak-
ened near noon. His face was so swollen
that the skin was drawn tight. His lips
were disagured. The nose, where Cor
bett landed repeatedly, is not broken
but terribly bruised. He got Turkish
bath and spent the day in doors prepar-
ing to depart. Corbett was fresh and
bright, receiving congratulations from
his friends. He said the result did not
surprise him because he knew when he
went into the ring that Sullivan was
not his equal in skill or endurance.
Sullivan was wonderful hitter and
every inch fighter, but what he lacked
WAS ability to use his hands and avoid
clevUrer man.
Dixon enjoyed the smashing Sullivan
got. He said. "Corbett made
monkey OF Sullivan, just as 1 thonght
he would" Walter Campbell, the
lightweight, said: sullivan used bad
Judgment from start to finish. When
ever he hit with his left he fell short,
When he hit with his right he generally
missed Corbett. Corbett is world
beater and the best ever saw"
All Kennedy said: sit was a fine
fight. Corbett's activity carried the
day over Sullivan. He was too old to
fight. None of these men have any H.
cense to go in tho ring when they arc
past thirty against clever young man
with speed and endurance"
Many Of the sports will have hard
work to get out of town, being broke.
1t transpired that Sullivan. after his
defeat last night, began undoing all the
careful work of training which he and
his trainers have been doing for weeks
past. Defeat and chagrin, coupled with
the absence of motive for further train
ing, doubtless lead the man to resume
his convivial habits. His deep sleep
this morning was the result of rotations.
When he awakened he was taken over
TO the Gymnastic Club and there kept
until time to resume mis- homeward Jour
ney at $50.
The great giant presented a pitiable
spectacle. The cut on the nose had
closed, but his eyes were blackened and
his whole face swollen terribly. While
he tried to smoke the sodden butt Of
cigar he talked in a maudlin voice of
his downfall. Sullivan lays greatest
stress on the fast that he could not
! reach Corbett The shifting, lightning
tactics Of the new champion worried and
daZed him. The Californian Giro cd and
circled and kept Sullivan circiing to face
him.
This frequent whirling Of lights and
many swimming of thousands OF white
and eager faces banked upon all sides
tended TO confuse and dpze tho big
man OF Boston. The lightning flash
like science of the younger man was q
revelation to Sullivan who, in his best
days, had never possessed such pugilis-
tic elements.

Corbett's second. "You may make this
