A STRIKING CONTRAST,
Difference Between OIden-Time
and Modern Fistic Contests.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 1.-THE arena
in its enlarged condition presented a
striking appearance when filled to it's
utmost capacity, even the overhanging
galleries, which seemed to put out at a
giddy height above the vast throng that
lined the countless tiers of seats in the
main body in the arena, being packed
with an eager throng, all intent on
watching every move that was made in
the ring and about it.
In looking over that immense throng
one could not help rejecting upon the
tremendous strides in popular favor that
have been made by boxing since Hee-
dian shore of Lake Erie a little over
thirty years ago.
In those days men were in the habit
of going to prize fights "only on the
sly" and those who went were particu-
larly careful to have their names kept
out of the newspapers at all hazards;
but it was mot only the disgrace conse-
Quent upon being known as patron of
the fstic sport that debarred many from
attending those prize fights in
Good Old Days.
At that time going to prize fight
meant long and fatiguing rides In badly
managed trains or on board the slowest
and most uncomfortably crowded
steamboats,. staggering under a huge
load of profane and toul-mouthed
humanity of the very lowest type-mel
who would. under ordinary circum-
stances. be the most Objectionable of
travelling companions, but when in the
midst of surroundings of a class calcu-
lated to arouse and encourage thsir
worst propensities became doubly OBJ
jectionable.
In the old times the crowd usually
assembled at ringside, while not
wholly made up of the worst classes.
was usually OF such character that
ruftianism was vastly in the ascendant

GREATEST OF ALL.
No Such Contest in the History of
PugiliSm,


NEW ORLEANS. Sept. SIN all re-
spects tonight's fight was the greatest
of the three. In point of purse. in
point of men and in point of crowd. and
in point of excitement, it excelied the
battles already gone into history. 1t
was no wonder, therefore. that those
who could not go, or would not go, for
sock their beds and crowded around
bulletin boards, eager for a word of
news from the struggle of the giadi-
atorS.
When they made the match they
meant it to be decisive one in it's re-
suits. There was plenty of money to
back each man. The Sullivan people
dictated the terms, and the other side
had to meet the lead. Ten thousand
dollars side was named as the wager.
The Corbett people agreed to it without
demur. That meant $4,000 as start
er. Then there came the question Of a
purse.
The Olympic is the Sullivan of clubs,
and wanted the match at all hazards.
1t offered $4,000 for the mill. and the
prlncely sum was accepted. 1t was
agreed that the winner should
have the whole of it. The
loser would find no solace for his woe.
The conditions were brief. They were
to the effect that there was to be finish
under Queensberry rules. That means
that the men must stand up sQuarely
and box, stripped to the waist, each
round to last three minutes and one
minute rest.
Nothing was said about weights
each man was privileged to carry as
much flesh as he pleased. Along with
the purse of the winner of the fight
goes the championship title. and to
each of the gladiators it meant more
than the coin that had been wagered on
the result.

CORBETT FEELS GOOD.
But Doesn't Get Excited Over His
Great Victory.

treat Victory.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 7.-Corbett was
seen Immediately after he entered his
dressing room by an Associated Press
reporter. When he came III dozen or
more men sprang forward 10 shake his
hand, but he pushed them back, saying ::
Don't get so excited. l know won
and that you are all glad of it, but don't
try to claw me to death. Look at me. !
am not at all excited, and why should
you people be. just get away from me
and let me get a little AIR."
He then lay on his cot and was rubbed
down before being weighed. He tipped
the scale at 1874 pounds, showing that he
had only lost five pounds during the
fight. In answer to questions, COrbett
said:
IL knew what could do. Did l not
tell you Oh the train coming down to
bet all your money OH me? | had been
training for weeks to guard against his
particular style of fighting"
Bob Fitzslmmons knocked at the door
and wanted to see Corbett.
Don't let him in," said the new
champion. II don't want to see him.
The big duffer would not come near me
before the fight, and l won't see him
now"
Fitzsimmons afterward peeked over
the top of door and called to Corbett.
but Jim told him to get down, that he
would have nothing to do with him.
The big Californian said that he did not
feel the least bit tired, and that he had
worked ten times harder than that every
day he had trained. He said:
''On several occasions l was Sorely
tempted to close right in Oh him and do
him quick, but my seconds kept at me
to be little cautious, that l was doing
we'll and having all the best of it. and
that / had better fight little shy of his
right hand"
When Mike Donovan entered the room
Corbett sprang to his feet and shook
hands with him very cordially.
We'll, Mike, we got OH top at last:
Mike, my boy, every word you said
about Sullivan was right. He fought
just as you said he would fight, and ]
followed your advice. and here am the
winner and the champion. I scarcely
know how to thank you and to express
nv gratitude"

AT CORBETT'S HOME.
Wild Scenes Reported in the
Streets Of Frisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7.-Before Q
o'clock tonight newspaper extras were
on the streets giving details of the great
New Orleans fight, and announcing that
James Corbett had defeated John l..
Sullivan and had been declared cham
pion of the world. During the evening
thousands of people had crowded
around the newspaper bulletin boards
and cheered wildly as every bulle-
tin was posted, and when the
final bulletin was received few
minutes after $50 announcing that Cor
bett vas the victor the widest scenes
occurred. The city has not witnessed
such enthusiasm for many day, and,
although there had been general hope
that Corbett would win in the great
fight, there was no unusual amount of
money bet on him. Betting here today
was 10 to in favor of Sullivan, aud quite
anumber of small WagerS were made, but
no large amounts. The Olympic club, of
which Corbett was boxing instructor,
backed Jimmy some, and tonight the
members are celebrating the victory.
AS the news of the progress of the fight
showing Corbett's fine fighting was read
from the bulletin boards. grand rush
was made to hedge. Corbett's brother
Harry conducted the principal pool
room here, and his place was blockaded
by frantic bettors anxious to get in at
the last moment. Extra editions of the
newspapers were bought by thou
sands, and the crowds in front
of the bulletin boards were
so great that the street car traffic was
lmpeded. Great interest was taken
throughout the entire state, and every
little town and village received bulle-
tins OF the contest. Messages of con-
graduation poured in on Corbett's faith
er, who conducts livery stable on
Hayes street. Corbett senior, of course.
was proud of his son. but was confident
that Jim would win. He is sorry that
Jim is prize fighter, but says that if
the boy insists OH following that bust
ness he wants him to be at the top.

IN THE ARENA.
The Picture One Long to Be Re-
membered.

The Picture One Long to Be Re-
membered.
New ORLEANS, Sept. THE picture
presented by the interior of the arena
tonight is one long to be remembered
All about the ring deep rows of boxes
filled to overlooking with people who
were willing to pay an extravagant price
for choice seats, and between these and
the ring were the rooms of press seats
running all round the outer ring pro-
vided with long planed board which
served the reporters as a table upon
which to write their copy as the fight
was i'll progress. Beyond the boxes was
broad aisle and then from its outer
edge to the extreme top OF the walls
rose tier upon tier of seats, all of which
were crowded with spectators.
The night was warm, and long before
the hour for the men to enter the ring
had arrived coats were laid aside, and
these great banks of humanity looked
like terraces of black, white anu pink in
regular rows, the dark or black line
representing the trousers and waist
coats or the spectators, the white their
shirtSleeveS and the pink their faces,
which III the distance, in spite of the
brilliant electric lights, looked dim and
ilIuiotlICt, dils Vic lduIUS
out into one blurred line of pink. while
darker shades OF hair and beard were
lost against the dark clothing of the
