How IL Was Received 10y the Crowd AROUND
The Times Office.
Mr.. Corbett defeated Mr.. Sullivan II
| twenty-one rounds.
IF I'd only backed the winner,
What different man I'd be ?
I'd hsye enough.
To spare enough
To spend III cherity.
Not since the last presidential election
| have citizens of Richmond so eagerly scan
nod the bulletin board OF The ZINES. As
early as o'clock crowd began TO gather
at Tenth and Man streets and patiently
waited until the first news was re-
oeiyed from New Orleans. They all
knew that TIL TINS with Its
usual enterprise would give them the news
AZ soon as il was received and the telegraph
operator in the fifth story well appreciated
the fact that fully five hundred people 90
low him awaited the tick of his instrument.
Gladstone indeed was the news to all when
il was learned that a direct circuit from
New Orleans had been established, and al
awaited almost breathlossy for the night To
begin.
ON Broad and Main streets a perfect mass
of humanity passed up aud down eager to
catch the latest information from the Ores
snt City. and among the throng could Dc
seen bankers. prominent politicians, mer-
CHANTS. lawyers, SpOIIS duh hoh AZ
all conditions and walks of life.
In the restaurants Of Broad street before
the fight men were eager 70 place their
money at n rate of five 70 one on Sullivan.
One man IN Zimmermann's loudly offered TO
bet $50 TO $40 that the Bean later would
win. while at Murphy's plenty OF Sullivan
money could be gotten at the rate Of 80 TO
-. Takers were few. however. for in the
words of Billy McGlory. every one thought
ha 10 han a loa6 nina ClnCh
After the fifth round however. betting
became more even. and after the twelfth
round only even money could oe had. with
few takers. Corbett had many hackers, es-
pecially during the past week. Hundreds OF
people wanted him to win because
Sullivan has Disguised many by his
brutal conduct, while Corbett won many
friends py his gentlemanly conduct. At
Murphy's there we're fully five hundred
people who thronged about billiard
tables and restaurants while at SmaIPs the
restaurant was densey packed by the lovers
of pugilistlc sport.
At the corner OF Tenth and Nam, where
THE TINE. bulletins were posted, crowd
of 800 assembled. and the reports of each
round we're received by cheers OF approval
or Kisses or dissatisfaction. The crowd was
clearly divided between Sullivan and Cor
bett admirers. and when At last the Frisco
boy won cheers rent the AR as though
Cleveland had won the presidency. Many
W n BIZ money on the result. but the ma
jorty are out Of pocket.
TIE TINE enterprise was commended on
every eide and many well-kDown sporting
men of the city declared it to be one OF the
boldest and best strokes OF newspaper en-
terprise ever seen in Richmond. Many
gentlemen came into the Office after the
fight and thanked the officials present tor
the excellent reports. 1t demonstrated be-
yond doubt that TIE TINES can always
be relied upon to furnish the very latest
news 10 its patrons.
At the Manchester bureau of THE TIMES,
Beattie block Hull streer, n crowd gathered
early in the night waiting patiently for the
bulletins, which were produced there stimuli
taneously with Richmond.
The crowd grew until there we're 200 rep
resentative citizens of the city across the
James. There was but one voice Of admit
ration from them all for the enterprise OF
Tar TINES In furnishing its Manchester
readers with the latest news.
