''Jim''-Mrs. COrbett Talks of
the Fight.
BY Telegraph to the State Chronicle
NEW YORK, Sept. S-A special to the
Herald from New Orleans says that when
all was over Sullivan was taken to his
dressing room and attended by DR.. Chas.
L. Seaman, who found him in pltlable
condition, covered with blood and weep
ing at what he considered his disgrace.
His nose had been split and required
three stitches, his face was swollen and
his lips were cut. Sullivan felt very
badly He turned to Charley Johnson
and said: Pm sorry about my friends
loosing their money" "Never mind"
said Johnson, ''Ill put up $4,000 on
you to morrow to fight Mitchell or any
one else, barring Corbett. He seems to
be very clever young fellow. " "Yes,"
said Sullivan, 'he's cleverer than any
fighter ever met in my life let him
hit me one or two body blows purposely
with the idea of catching him as he
landed, but couldn't touch him. Well
he has won the championship and he
/ had better keep it. My advice to him is
that if he wants to keep it he had better
not meet the niger Jackson. If he ever
does he will get licked"
Sulliy an Talks.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. s. He
licked me fair and square; he is quicker
than am but he is the only man IN the
1 world who can lick me-" thus spoke ex-
: champion John L. Sullivan at an early
: hour this morning. John was in the bar
r room of the st. Charles hotel beginning
It to whoop it up as few can, but he spoke
, from his heart He was not one half so
q much broken up as most persons would
: suppose. Physically he showed a swollen
/, nose and black ma ks around the eyes
marks that never before in his life, but
+ his manner was not of the sullen or dis
appointed kind, and his friends remarked
d ou his pluck in defeat with pride Why
5 Corbett proved to be surprise party neeC
d not be told. All the betters on Sullivan
s have been in stage of wonder ever
n since those last few rounds when Joh1
" began to grow groggy and it will be {
,r long time before they recover from th'
is effect produced by the final assault of th'
agile Californian and the knock-ou
blow. Corbett bears his honor with be
: coming modesty, and so far, his head re
~ =, mains at its usual size. That he is per
1t haps the happiest man in America is no
n, altogether unnatural and that he show
n, his Joy is not to be wondered at, but b
~ speaks to his friends and even to hi
ID casual acquaintances as he always ha
} done and appears like the Jim Corbet
of yesterday or year ago.
