Corbett's Record.

James J. Corbett was born in San Fran
cisco, CAL, Sept. 1, 1866. His father was
from county Mayo, ireland, and his mother
uncle. Father James Corbett, who is now a
priest in Ireland.
Young Corbett was educated at the Sacred
Heart College, San Francisco, and when he
graduated Flood, the bonanza king, gave
him a clerkship In the Nevada Bank, where
he remained several years From boyhood
up Corbett had always been fond OF athletic
exercises, and in the Olympic Base Ball Gu
be always ranked first as fielder and batter.
While still clerking In the bank, he Joined
the Olympic Athletic Club, and won the
amateur heavyweight championship. This
infatuated him with boxing, and he LETT the
bank to become sparring instructor for the
Olympic club. While holding that position,
he had his first professional contest with
Jack Burke Of England, whom he fought TO
a draw In eight rounds. There was no
referees, but the San Francisco public de-
cided in favor Of Corbett. Corbett then
developed into a full-fledged professional,
and defeated all the local heavy-welghts,
among them Joe Choynski. whom he met
and defeated three different times-once
with bare knuckles, in a barn belonging to
Corbett's father; the second time on the
beach near the Chf house these were 4
round events and finally, in a finish fight
on a barge In San Francisco bay In this
last meeting Corbett broke both his hands
in the third round, but continued to fight,
and defeated his man In the twenty seventh
round. Corbett next, in Ground contest
for points, beSted Kilrain for 81, 900 purse.
In the sparring tour which followed he
bested McCaffery In a around contest in
Brooklyn. His last event of impor tance
was his meeting with Peter jackson, which
resulted In draw after sixty-one rounds.
These are all Of Corbett's big affairs. OF
minor events he has had many, among
which are the following, in all of which he
proved the victor: Defeated David Else
mann. two rounds: James Daily, four
rounds; Martin buffalo Costello, three
rounds; Duncan Mcdonald Of Butte, Frank
Smith, three rounds; Mike Brennon, four
rounds; William Miller, three rounds.

Where They VIII Fight.

Since their last contest the Olympics have
built handsome club house, costing $25, 900,
where their guests will be received and
entertained as comfortably as In any social
club in New Orleans. They decided, how
ever, not to rebuild their arena or amphi-
theater in which the fights take place, posts
poninG this for another year, but to recon-
struct, enlnrge and improve It, When
Maher fought there in March, the arena
could seat 6, 900 people, and accommodated
as many on that occasion, a number of per-
sons being turned away from the door on &C
count Of lack Of room. 1t has been enlarged
in the last three weeks by the addition Of
galleries, SO as to accommodate 10000.
1t is constructed after the fashion of the
old Roman colosseum. In the center is the
ring, which is declared by all pugilists to be
the best In the world. Around this is a
platform for the police seconds, referee, etc.
and then a barbed wire feoce to prevent
any of that ring jumping which has spoiled
so many fights. The press has seats i'm
mediately in front, aud the press on this
occasion will number 500, for several of the
northern papers have applied for eight
tickets. They will send three or four re.
porters, an artist, retired pugilist to give
points, and stenogrspher and telegrapher.
Behind the press comes two rows OF private
boxes. each seating six persons. Then the
parquette family circle aud galleries.
The whole building is splendidly illumi-
mated by electric light. and the pugilists
are visible from every portion of the house
The club has made two improvements in
its arena since its last fight It will have
better Geographic facilities so that news of
the fight can be sent directly from the ring
side to each newspaper with correspond
emit present, and time will be announced by
an electric clock and gong. There has
al ways been confusion on this latter point,
which the electric clock will prevent. Il
will be placed in full view Of all and not
only give a record of the rounds and inter
missions, but will strike the ten seconds
every time one of the contestants is knocked
to the ground. II, when the last second is
sounded. he is not on his feet again be will
be declared 'out.n

The Dixop.skellv Firht.

nProt." Mike Donovan, the pugilist and
instructor, says OF the first event of the
week: las to the fghs between Dixon and
Sicily, the odds are, of course. strongly in
favor Of the little colored wonder. Dixon
is & wonderful judge Of time and distance.
aud that is a thing that comes to q prize
fighter by intuition. l have found in my
experience that they can't be taught, and
YOU can tell In q second whether or not q
man is a natural born fighter by his skill in
this direction. Dixon, as say, is a marvel
Gus Judge on these two points, and in his last
fight with Fred johnson, who, by the way,
is o good fighter, had the EngIishman COM
pletsIy at his mercy. Sicily and Dixon are
to fight at 1l8H pounds, and imagine they
will have no trouble in weighing in at that
figure.
u know very little about Sicily, except
that be Is a very clever williamsburg anna
teur. But / have always argued that an
amateur, no matter how good in his class,
is never the equal of professional. The
latter has had an experience with profess
siOnsls knows a thing or two about the
professional ring, and in that he is always
the superior Of the frst-class amateur. So,
while Sicily is a good man and clever
enough, he has yet to get a good bit of pro-
fessionn experience before he can be ex-
pected to best Dixon. That man is big
boned, muscular, sinewy. nervy, 'cagey;
bis eye, his head and his hands work to-
gether all the time. His body blows are
terrors, and I must say that Sicily, fine as
be looks, will have a hard time of it against
the clever Boston boy. But Sicily Is in the
hands of Jimmy Carroll, the man who
trained Fitzsimmons for his fight with
Maher, and had good deal to do with that
hghters success. Carroll is a prize-fghter
all through, and will give Sicily the best Of
training. On that fact alone Skelly's
friends must lay their hopes
