NEW ORLEANS, Sept Sat the conclusion OF
the light last night Cortett and party left the
olympic Club in ths midst of perfect ovation,
and were driven 70 an uptown gymnasium,
wnere an enthusiastic crowd of club men and
guests. numbering 1900, had gathered. Corbett
male modest speech in response 70 the ova-
tion. lie said he had started his career in the
southern Athletic Club when scarcely known,
ana new that he had risen to the top of the lad
der he felt profoundly grateful for the courtesy
ana attention showered upon him by the club
At the conclusion the new champion was sur
rounded by the crowd who shook his hand
until it was sore. He was then carried
oil TO bis rooms, where he found kilograms
awaiting him from all parts OF the country.
Champagne corks then began to pop, and many
healths were drunk to the new luminary. Cor
bett declined to drink. saying he did not want
TO be like other pugilists, and that milk was
good enough for him. At 4 O'Clock he was per-
United to retire and dream of the honos which
had been showered upon him.
Corbett woke up feeling refreshed and In fine
spirits, and ate q hearty breakfast Corbetts
trainers wanted him to drink something, but he
did not care to do 30. and said he would con-
tinue to be abstemious It sho led the man In
him. His rest last night was most refreshing
and he awoke this incoming feeling a. happy AZ
lark when he got Up. His breakfast was
awaiting him and ne sat down relishing 1t.
During the morning, with big Billy Delaney, he
walked over to the southern Athletic Club and
was overwhelmed with the congratulations
OF his friends. IL was hard to break
away from his friends, but Corbett finally
did so, and then he sat down to remember his
relatives and friends, aud wrote letters to his
wife and parents, giving report of the battle
of his life. To q reporter he said he was not
surprised at the result, because he knew when
he went into the ring that the big fellow was
not his equal in skill or endurance. He was
ready, however, to accord Sullivan due credit
for his fair contest and manly bearing. Sulii-
van, he said. was q wonderful hitter and every
inch fighter, but what he lacked was ability to
use his hands and avoid . cleverer man.
Corbett will Join the travelling troupe with
which he has been exhibiting himself here, and
at tonight's performance was handed the Olym-
pic Clubs check for $4,000 kilograms pour in
on him from all parts of the world

new YORK. Sept s-The news that Corbett
had defeated the great and only John l., and
was the champion heavyweight pugilist of the
world, was received in this city with something
like astonishment The Corbett men were in
the minority, and their demeanor was in strong
contrast with that of the followers of the Boston
boy. The great majority could not believe that
Sullivan had at last met his match, and his
friends fingered around the tickers and bulletin
boards hoping there had been q mistake, but
when il was definitely known that Corbett was
champion, the enthusiasm knew no bounds, the
staunchest Sullivan men being loudest in their
praises Of the game young Californian.

How Cincinnati Received the News.

CINCINNATI, Sept a-The streets OF Cincin-

spectacle OF greater crowds around the places
where bulletins of the Corbett-Suilivan fight
were read than had ever gathered on the streets
to hear news OF presidential election. Tele-
graph tickers were secured in more than two
score of places. all of which were crowded.
There must have been $1,000 persons standing
outdoors at these places hearing the news At

Much sympathy for sullivan.

NEW YORK, Sept S-Mrz. James J. Corbett,
wife of the new champion pugilist OF the world,
was up with the sun this morning in order to
get the morning papers and read the accounts
OF her husbands victory. Not comma,
quotation mark, letter or syllable es-
capped her notice. "Wasn't that nice
OF Mr.. Sullivan to say what he did?'
she asked, and then. woman-like. she proceeded
to commisserate with 'sir. Sullivan" There
was joy all through the Colman house this
morning A majority of the employees bet on
Corbett, principally on account OF its being

telegram was received at the
hotel from Manager Brady, ordering a brass
band to meet the returning party at the depot
and escort the victor in state to the hotel.
"Poor John," il the most frequent expression in
regard to the ex- champion. While he made
many enemies by his overbearing acts when in
his cups, still Sullivan was looked upon a. the
one man to protect the pugilistic championship
OF the world and keep it on our side of the
water.
Doubts are freely expressed az to Corbett's
ability to retain the honor as long a. the man
he just defeated. Said an old sport, and he
voiced the majority's opinion: swell. so it's
Corbett? He's good man, but there never Was
