Kilrain,s views.

swas lost in Baltimore over Sullivans de-
feat. The betting was to and to
on Sullivan, A crowd of sports congre-
gated at Jack Kilrain's hotel to hear
the ex-champion's views of the fight.
Before the men entered the ring Kilrain
said: ''If Corbett should stay twenty
rounds he will be made man, provid-
ing he makes any fighting. / do not ex-
pect Corbett to win"
When the result was announced Kill
rain said: 81 am surprised; Sullivan
did not seem to be in the fight at all.

in this fight that Fitzsimmons used in

Eineoln,s Shocking Hat.

When on his way to Washington to be
inaugurated as president of the United
States Lincoln passed through New York.
The almost studied negligence which char
acterized his apparel excited much mirth
and ridicule But the keenest shafts of
ridicule were aimed at his hat, an exceed
ingly, seedy looking ''stovepipe." 1t was
publicly dubbed that shocking hat"
This didn't worry Lincoln a bit, but 1t
panied some of his sensitive friends very
much. So they arranged little scheme
to secure an exchange of titles" which
would give the president q presentable hat.
The dimensions of Lincoln's Uranium
were secretly but accurately ascertained,
and brand new hat was provided that
would exactly fit him. Things were so
fixed that when the procession which was
escorting Lincoln passed up Broadway the
carriage In which he was seated halted
just opposite the store of popular halter.
Out rushed the halter with the hat which
the committee of Lincoln's friends had Sc
lected, and begged the privilege of ex-
changing 1t for the one which Lincoln
wore. Without any suspicion that he was
the victim of put up job" Lincoln good
naturally complied with the request
The late William Gibson, one of New
York's greatest curio and relic hunters,
secured the shocking hat and it figured
conspicuously at many fairs and exhibit
tions for charitable purposes. When Mr..
Gibson died, some eight years ago, the hat
passed to one of his sons, who kept 1t un-
der glass globe in his factory. There 1t
was seer last week by F. r. Kaldenberg,
of this city. He wrote to his friend, G. #.
Gunther, of Chicago, who has a large col
lection of Lincoln relics, about it. Mr..
Gunther opened up negotiations and pur-
chased for a good round sum the hat.
which is intrinsically not worth five cents.
The hat is an ordinary old fashioned
''stovepipe" and was made by halter at
Springfield, His, named George Hall. It
is lined inside with paper in imitation of
silk and on it in pencil Lincoln had writ
ten his name and address, "a. Lincoln,
Springfield, Ills" 1t is this autograph
which adds so immensely to the value of
the hat New York Herald.

left-hander, but Jim would not bite.
Sullivan looked vicious as he played for
an opening. He attempted right hand
stomach punch, but the blow fell short.
Sullivan tried to corner Jim, but the
latter slipped away. The gong sounded
and not blow had been landed by
either man.
Second round Sullivan still the ag-
gressor. He attempted q left for the
head and missed it, Jim slipping neatly
away from left-hand swing. A mo-
ment later the men came to clinch
and Jim aimed left-hander. Sullivan
upper-cut Jim in a duck and touched
him again with his left hand little
later. Jim eyed his man closely, and
when Sullivan would rush the Califor-
nian would slip away. Sullivan landed
a heavy right on the shoulder, but re-
ceived a stomach punch in return.
Third round-Corbett ducked away
from heavy lunge; Sullivan followed
him about the ring, trying for stomach.
Jim's head missed heavy left-hander,
and Sullivan looked vicious. Jim landed
two heavy stomach punches, and Sulli-
van missed vicious right; both men hit
each man on the head. Corbett stepped
out of harms way. He came back
quickly and landed his left on the stom-
ach. He also planted heavy left on the
champions ear, sending his head back.
Both men were fighting hard when the
gong sounded; Sullivan was wet from
perspiration.
Fourth round Sullivan missed his
left again, but he chased Jim around
the ring. Sullivan landed q light left.
Corbett stepped up close, attempting to
punch his stomach, but John was guard
ing that member with his right hand.
The champion followed his opponent all
over the ring, and received heavy left
hand swing on the head for his pains

Cholera Notes,

No case of cholera has been reported at
Bremen since Saturday, and 1t Is claimed
that the city is free from the disease.
There were nineteen new cases and
eleven deaths Wednesday at Havre, being
four more deaths and eight fewer cases
than on Tuesday.
The state department has advised the
treasury department that Vice Consul
Wiser at Rotterdam had cabled the pres
ence of case of cholera in that port.
The Toronto Globe correspondent ut
Quebec says there is reason to believe that
case of cholera has been found on hoard
of the steamer Wandiahm, from Ham
burg, which passed Father Point Wednes-
day, inward.
Official notification Of the order OF coun.
ell of the province of Quebec, prohibiting
immigration by water and land, was re-
ceived at the state department, Washing
ton, Thursday from the United states con-
sui at Quebec.
The provincial government of Quebec
has issued proclamation giving full
force to the bylaws adopted by the Central
medical board. The proclamation provides
briefly that no passengers whatever may
be permitted to land from infected ports In
any part of this province, and that no Inn
migrants, no matter where haiiing from,
are to be landed here.

easy victory for Corbett, who plainly
proved his superior knowledge of the
science of pugilism.
The fight was for $4,000, the largest
purse ever offered, and a stake of $780,
900; Marquis of Queensbury rules.
When weighed Sullivan tipped the beam
at 212 and Corbett at 1S9.
The meeting of the two giants result
ed in a complete victory for Corbett.
f1e defeated Sullivan at every point, and
the big fellow was completely at his
mercy all the way through the battle.
Though twenty-one rounds were fought
there was no time in the one-sided affair
that Corbett was not complete master
of the situation. He would deride Sui
Ivan, and after hitting him mt pleasure
would say: 81 don't want to knock you
out"
Sullivan soon became beside himself
with rage. A right on the ear and left
on the jaw settled the business and the
championship. The last blow sent Sui
Ivan to the floor with thump, the sec
ond time in all his long career as fight
or that he had ever been knocked down.
But he was down this time for fair and
finally. 1t was a clean and clever knock
out blow.
Sullivan doubled up his legs as if in
pain, but in another instant seemed to
collect his senses and made an effort to
mise He failed in that, and tried the
second time with the same result. He
was knocked out pure and simple. His
seconds had come to him and assisted
him to hi. corner. Even then John l..

on Sullivan's head. Sullivan's face was
very red, and he received left-hand
swing in the stomach for coming too
close. Both exchanged light lefts and
boxed for an opening for the right. No
severe punishment was administered to
either man in this round.
Eighteenth round-Jim was, as usual,
first to respond. A beautiful rally took
place in the center of the ring, Jim
landing two stomach punches, but get
ting two light punches on the head. A
fearful left-hand jab on the nose was
presented to John, and he got hot one
on the head for being too familiar.
Jims left found the champions stomach
and face, and also the head. Later John
l.. landed right punch on the ribs that
sounded all over the house. though he
got left swing in the stomach a mo-
ment later. Sullivan was extremely
cautious, although he got four heavy
rights on the face. This was all Cor
belts round.
Nineteenth round Both men were
quick to respond. They boxed cautious
ly, Sullivan landing, and Jim retaliated
on the stomach, and then stepped away
from heavy right, and the champion
looked tired. Sullivan's left was contin-
ually in motion, seemingly from the rat
ties. The Californian looked too clever
for him, and he laughed sarcastically at
the champion as he leisurely boxed for
an opening. Corbett landed two quick
lefts in the stomach, and Sullivan lost
his temper from staggering right, and
rushed at his opponent, but he looked
like beaten man.
Twentieth round-Sullivan looked
tired, and his left was very short. He
was blowing hard, and seemed very eau
tious, but lie was the same resolute, fero-
cious man of yore. Both exchanged
rights, and Sullivan was beaten to the
ropes with right and left. The cham
pion was nearly knocked down with the
left on the stomach and right ON the
head. Corbett was dead game and I'M
hurt so far. Sullivan tried a right, and
received nve clips on the head ana stom-
ach. The champions knees were shak..
ing, and he seemed unable to defend
himself. Sullivan was fought to the
ropes with heavy rights and lefts, and
the gong seemed his only safety.
Twenty-first round-Corbett was first
to respond to time. Sullivan's left lead

SYMPATHY lN CHICAGO.

Sullivan.
CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-There was a good
deal of sympathy expressed for Sulli-
vans defeat. 1t was feared by many
that John L. would feel SO badly over
the affair that he would take to drink
and be ruined for ever and that, if SO,
all hope for him was gone. 1t was evil
dent to all, from the report of the fight,
that Sullivan was like Sampson, shorn
of his strength, and that his blows were
powerless, and though no Delilah had
made Sullivan succumb, worse enemy,
in the shape of strong drink, had unfit
ted him, even well trained as he was, to
cope with young and muscular OPP
ponent like Corbett, who had always
taken care of himself.
There was considerable betting done
in this city ON the fight, most of it being
at and to on Sullivan.

Twelfth round-Sullivan was last to
respond, and when he did he got left
in the stomach, he got it again very
heavily, and repetition moment later.
Sullivan landed fairly good blow with
his right, though he got the left in the
stomach in return. Jim landed another
left in the stomach, and ran away smil-
ing. The Californian landed a good left
ON the head, but the champion stopped
the right with his shoulder. Sullivan

belts hands in Sullivans stomach.
Thirteenth round-Jim first up again,
lodging the usual left lead from the

could not draw his antagonist on with
left-hand feints, but he barely touched
his body with the left The mems toes
touched, they stood so close, and Sulli-
van never attempted to land the right;
his left was short, Corbett stepping
away. Sullivan was now forcing mat
tiers, but carefully. He got left on
the nose that sent his head far back,
though the champion landed light on
the head.
Fourteenth round--The Californian's
stock was sky-high now, and he stepped
up to his opponent, though he got a left
on the nose for his pains. Both men
landed good blows. Corbett landed
left and Sullivan the right Both men
got heavy blows on the head, and Sulli-
van was pushed back with the left.

the two. Jim landed left on Sullivan's
face and slipped away Sullivan landed
on the forehead, but in attempting to
land his left he fell into corner, stand
ing closely to his man.
Fifteenth round-Jim was the first to

rush and forced his man all over the
ring, though he was nearly knocked
down with q right The men clinched
and separated, Sullivan receiving right
on the ear. The latter landed his left

missed his vicious right for the body.
Both men received light lefts, though
Jim recorded heavy stomach punch as
the round ended.
Sixteenth round-This round COM
menced with rally Sullivan receiving
the left on his dial, he attempted left
lead for the head and Jim saved himself
by pulling away. The champions head
was pushed back one more. Sullivan
landed heavy ON the nose and stomach a
moment later. Jim looked very fresh
as he punched the champion in the head
and stomach. Sullivan received two
good punches and Jim clinched. Dur

and the audience yelled ''foul," though

way.

Hamburg.

HAMBURG, Sept. 9.-Several hundred
bodies are awaiting burial, and in a
number of cases whole families have
persisted and are to be inferred by the
authorities. The sanitary authorities
recommend that funerals should be
simple and without flowers, pals, or
any other accessories likely to spread
the plague.
This admonition is not necessary in
the case of many of the dead who go to
the grave without even q mourner. Tho
warm humid weather is favorable to tho
cholera and the end is yet apparently
far in the distance.
The official cholera report for Ham
burg for Wednesday shows that there
were 655 new cases, a decrease of forty
seven from Tuesday. There were 3l5
deaths, decrease of eighteen compared
with Tuesday. 1t is believed that this
report is probably nearer the truth than
those before issued.
