SULLIVAN EASY

John L. Knocked Out by the

REPORTED THAT THE Ex-CHAMPION

Rounds-Sketch of the victor's Career.
NEW ORLEANS, Sep. 9.-A sicker lot of
sports than those who backed John L.
Sullivan it would be had to find. AS was
to be expected, the men who had lauded
the champion to the skies before the bat
tie, now roundly execrate him.
Corbett's victory carries with it not only
the championship of the world but the
ownership of the princely stake of $40, 900.
Sullivan was clearly out of condition and
wholly unfit to fight championship bat
tie.
Corbett outfought his man from the
opening of the first round until the end
of the twenty first, when the most notori-
GUS fighter of this generation surrendered.
He showed more science, greater strength
and was quicker than the mighty John
L., who for the first time in his career
found a conqueror.
Before the Battle.
Corbett got up at a. m. and was feel
then ate a square meal. He talked away
to his trainers at such lively rate that
a stranger would have thought he had
been drinking. He read the papers, got
a shave and hesitated about allowing a
barber with whom he was acQuain ted
touch his pompadour style hair. He
finally consented, and afterward gave
the barber 50 for the job. He stayed in
the house all day, not leaving it until he
went to the fight
He was expected to show up at the
Southern Athletic Club, but at II
o'clock sent word that he would not go
over. A large crowd that had assembled
to see him was disappointed, but they
waited until in the afternoon. The re-
ception committee of the club were out
in full force to say once more that they
were delighted to have him as their
guest, and they, also, were fooled.
Sullivan did not leave his room until
about 10 o'clock. There was an immense
throng in front of the St. Charles all

TO BRING THE MOON NEARER

TO BRING THE MOON NEARER.
A French savant Proposes a Gigantic
Crystal Mirror.
M. Francois Deloncle, a French
savant, and deputy for the Bases
Alpes, has a marvellous project in hand
which he hopes to see completed in
time to astonish mankind at the Paris
exhibition of 1900. Though the moon
is 100000 miles distant from the earth,
says the London Daily Chronicle, M.
Deloncle thinks he can construct an ap-
paratus which will enable us to ex-
anime that luminary at very close
quarters.
The idea has been expounded by the
author before a French scientific
society, and M. Deloncle says, in sub
stance, that the only obstacle to close
observation of celestial bodies is the
relative imperfection of instruments,
and that all that is required is an en-
largement and improvement of present
Instruments Astronomers, says M.
Deloncle, have reckoned that the image
of the moon can be brought quite close
to the earth by means of crystal
mirror eight meters in diameter, but
which, owing to the thickness required,
would weigh about eight tons. lie has
consulted various opticians in Paris
and they are prepared to execute the
work before the year 1900
There remains, however, the ques-
ton of the structure which would be
required to hold this gigantic mirror,
and upon this point NJ. Maurice I.ocwy,
distinguished French astronomer
says that while in principle M. Del
onele's scheme is possible, there are
enormous difficulties in the way OF
its realization, the chief of which, SO
far SIS the exhibition is concerned. is
that the apparatus must be erected on
4 mountain about two miles in height
in order to secure the proper atmos
phcri2 conditions. If this and Other
difficulties were surmounted, says NJ
LOewy. there would be some very re
marlluble results. for it would be pos
sible to clearly distinguish in the moo1
objects about the size of four-storI
house.
