New ORLEANS, Sept. 8.-Champion
Jim Corbett will bid adieu to his New
Orleans friends tomorrow afternoon.
The Corbett people have engaged spe-
cial train on the Piedmont air line.
leaving here Saturday morning at 4
O'Clock. The young pugilist will re-
ceive a rousing send-off, notwithstand-
ing the early hour.
CoRBETT's GENEROSITY.
Corbett showed his generosity in a re-
markable manner last night, when he
sent word to Sullivan that he would not
only spar iour rounds with him, at a
benefit to be held at Madison Square
garden. September 9th. but would pay
$1,000 for box for the performance.
When Corbett went to Sullivan's corner
and helped him to his chair, he held
out his hand and said:
John, will you shake hands with
me?" and Sullivan replied:
"Yes, my boy; I'm glad it was you
that won.'
sULLIvAN's STAKE MONEY.
There was considerable talk of a seri-
ous nature tonight regarding the stake
money on the Sullivan end of the string.
1t is said that, while Charley johnson
and Jimmy Wakely got the credit of
being the hackers of Sullivan, there is
good ground for the belief that the
whole $4,000 was put up by Percy
Rockwell, who has since died, and there
is possibility of the estate euing the
stakeholder to recover the money.
THE HEAVIEST LOSER.
The rumor that McAuliffe lost the
$l8, ,250 which he won in bis fight with
Myer, besides $4,000 which he borrowed.
is false in part, as the money, with the
exception OF $4,000, was not placed, al
though McAuliffe told his trainer to do
go.
The biggest loser O.; the day. go far as
can be ascertained, is John Kelley, of
New York, the ex-basebail umpire, who
backed the great champion Of cham
pions for $21. 900.
CREsTFALLEN NEW YORK SPORTS.
If there was ever a crestfallen crowd
of sporting people, it is the Manhattan
contingent of New York. They came
here full of enthusiasm for Sullivan and
staked their money on the issue. They
came on special train, and counted on
making it the banner train from New
Orleans to New York, and Mr.. Blake, of
the Manhattan athletic club, who is in
charge of the party, claimed yesterday
afternoon that they had bought up all
the red, white and blue lights to be
found in New Orleans. and they in
tended setting them off all along the
road on the way home.
JACKSON WILL CHALLENGE CoRBETT.
"Parson" Davies. who won large
amount of money on Corbett, will issue
a challenge in few days in behalf of
Peter Jackson, to fight Jim Corbett ior
a stake such as he will then name or
that can be agreed upon, and the larg-
est purse offered.
Delaney thinks Sullivan conld have
been whipped at any time after the first
round, but he advised Corbett to be
slow and Corbett followed his advice,
although he did it with reluctance, de-
string to show the crowd what he
could do.
AGAINST FIGHTING NEGROES.
"Corbett will never meet Jackson
again" said Delaney. I'VE are against
fighting negroes any more. Besides,
Corbett bested Jackson already, and
there is nothing to be gained by fighting
him again. We will pay no attention to
Mitchell, and for the present will ignore
all challenges. We have engagements
very far ahead"
JOHN L. BOWLS UP.
1t transpires that Sullivan, after his
defeat last night, began undoing all the
careful work Of training which he and
his trainers were doing for weeks past.
Defeat and chagrin, coupled with the
absence then of a motive for further
training, doubtless led the man to re-
sumo his convivial habits. Others
about him were drinking; no wonder
Sullivan drank. His deep sleep this
morning was the result of his potations.
When he awakened this morning he
was taken over to the gymnasium Of the
club, and there kept until the time
when he could 60 with IL Q people to the
train on which the homeward journey
WAS tosbegin at s 80.
A soRRY-LooKING SIGHT.
The great giant presented pitiable
spectacle. The cut on his nose was
closed, but his eyes were blackened and
his whole face swollen terribly. While
he tried to smoke the sodden butt of a
cigar, he talked in maudlin voice on
his downfall. He said that, which in
sober quiet he would not reiterate, and
which in his present condition may not
be put on record as his deliberate views.
Sullivan lays the greatest stress on
the fact that he could not reach Corbett.
THE BULLY CHEws THE RAG.
"But I did not run away" the big fell
low almost sobbed. clock us up in q
room-iust lock me in a room with him
and see what could do with him. But
he licked me; yes he did; be licked me
and let it go at that" he blurted. Il
give him all the credit he wants. He
licked square enough, but Pm old, am
let him 60 through what have. Let
him knock 'em all out for twelve years
and then see if he can do any better
than I do. Yes, he licked the cham
opin, and now he's the champion. Let
