AFTER THE BATTLE.
ThesCIub Took in SI2O, 900 for the Fight
 Sullivan's Condition.


 NEW ORLEANS, Sep. 9.-The fight be- tween James J. Corbett and John L. Sul- livan was remarkable in more than one respect.
 So much money was never before spent to witness prize fight. Probably not in this generation will so much money be spent again to see one.
 Many political meeting in New York has represented 20 times the wealth of the 1000 spectators who saw the cham pion pugilist of the world knocked out and new king of sports crowned.
 Many audiences at the Metropolitan Opera House have represented 100 times more money, but the spectators paid 50 times as much as any political mass meet ing ever cost in this country, and Patti when she drew for a single night $12, ,000 to the Metropolitan Opera House, drew only one tenth as much asl lwaslpaid to see Corbett dethrone Sullivan. So far as the betting is concerned every man who came from New York came with the intention of betting. It cost Charlie Johnston $25, 1000 and Jimmy Wakely close to $1O,O0O. Foxan Keene sent in $5, 900 on Sullivan to the pool rooms, and John Kelly, acting for syn dicate of sporty baseball players, scat tered away 5000. Jack McAuliffe took | $S, 500 of his own money, part of the earnings of his victory, and bet them on Sullivan Jacks second, Jimmy Nelson, was also out $1 8O0-$1, 900 that Dick Roche had given him and $500 that Jack made him present of.
 The way in which the young Californian won over the town is decidedly interest | ing. Five days ago it was nothing but | Sullivan. His approach to the city was | like a triumph. Every town through \ which his train passed turned out to give l him an ovation. His arrival was heralded \ like that of a hero.
 Corbett's departure from New Orleans will be made with flourish. Hero wor- ship is strong here, as it is in every true | sporting city. The young Californian came in like lamb, but he will go out \ like lion.
 l Aside from the glory he has gained ! Corbett has earned a neat fortune. His friends and packers are also many dollars ! ahead.
 A careful examination of Sullivan | made by Dr. Charles l.. Seaman after the ex-champion had had few hours res after his defeat found him in a pitiabl' condition. He was still weeping at wha he considered his disgrace. His nose ha( been split and required three stitches his face was swollen and his lips were cut. Sullivan is really heart broken.
 He turned to Charley Johnson ant said: 'Tm sorry about my friends los ing their money"
 "Never mind," said Johnson; 'Pll pu up 1000 on you any hour to tigh Mitchell or any one else, barring Cor bett. He seems to be a clever young fe. low"
 "Yes," said Sullivan; ''he's clevere than any fighter l ever met in my life l let him hit me one or two body blow purposely, with the idea of catching hin as he landed, but couldn't catch him
 We'll he has won the championship, an' he had better keep it. My advice is tha if he wants to keep it he had better no meet the nigger, Jackson If he eve does he will get licked"
 A few hours later Sullivan cheered u ana went into the barroom of the s
 Charles Hotel.
 He licked me fair and square; he
 quicker than am but he is the only ma
 Tn the world who can lick me.n Thu spoke the ex-champion. John was b. ginning to whoop it up as few can, but h spoke from his heart. He waA not on
