Inst Wednesday night appears tn ~ Get the ap-
proval OF the majority OF New Workers. and
while considerable regret Is expressed that
Sullivan should have lost his last battle. still
full credit Is given to tho young Californian
for his brilliant triumph.
The few who waGerod money on Corbett arc
naturally jubilant, while the largo number
| who laid their long green on the big fellow are
| not only downcast. but dazed by tho result.
So confident were the supporters OF tho man
from Boston that they chased the Corbctt men
out OF the betting RING.
Perhaps nowhere was there moro pleasure
over Corbctt's victory than ut tho New York
Athletic Club. Corbctt has for n long time
been n prime favorite with the members of the
winged foot organization. and tho members
nut their money on the Californian In a unani-
nous manner.
1t ia estimated that the winnings OF club
members aggregate $4,000 two prominent
members having won between them $4,000.
Among the successful ones wore Eli. Kcarncy.
Arthur Moore. Or. Netch. Jack Wilson. Harvey

The younger men arc coming on. lie was
undoubtedly Il great Fighter in his day. hut
now he must give away to younger and better
men,.
After every fight lie has, relarsed into nm

He lived too well. When a man i, in tho ring
he must keen himself III trim IL he wants D

shows.
II was slow and inactive in his movements
compared with his former work. He struck
hard. as he always can, but was not as swift as
he should have Teen
II believe Corbett has a bright future be-
fore him. He is n fin" fighter. as he proved.
Besides this he is q good actor. and outside OF
the ring could make much money on the
stage.
Tho best man won. and on the whole I am
