Sullivan WHIPPED

SULLIVAN WHIPPED.
John l.. Sullivan has fought one too
many battles. The invincible gladiator
of yesterday IS . defeated commoner
today. James Corbett tore the sceptre
from MS hand aud the crown from his
headin New Orleans last night and has
succeeded 10 thelglory that sullivan pre-
served uudiminished in brilliancy
through a period OF twelve years IN
more than hundred battles. Corbett
is the champion of the world. In his
remarkable achievement the unbroken
record of successes sustained by the de-
feated sullivan will be forgotten and
Corbett will be the lion of the hour
The world has never produced man
the equal to John l.. Sullivan as pu-
glist. lie has enjoyed greater motor
iety than kings. for MS name has been
on every mans lips and his praises
sung wherever civilization exists. lie
began his career with victory and never
knew defeat until Corbett's blow LAID
him where be had hid azores before.
Flushed with confidence, born of sue
cess, his physical strength impaired by
wantOnness and dissipation, he was no
match for the stalwart young man, IN
stinct with energy, every muscle,
nerve and tendon elastic with strength,
VINO dealt HIM the finish blow. Sulll-
van will not go into oblivion,
although the victor will be the
/ center of attraction - the pugll-
lSiic world. If any slugger is entitled to
hOnors Sullivan has the strongest claim
thereto because Of his past triumphs.
But neither victor nor vanqulshed have
done more for the world than to show
| the limit of endurance under a terrible
ram of thunderbolt blows, and it mat
tiers little that sullivan lost and Corbett
won. Nobody is the wiser, nobody the
/ better that these brutes have lived and
fought.

nouncing everything IN the republican
