van did at Richburg.
BEFORE THE BATTLE.
The Crowd Began to Gather Early
in the Evening.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 7.-The excite
ment that has prevailed in this city has
had no parallel since the Italian assas-
sination eighteen months ago. There
has been no subject of conversation dis
cussed in any quarter save the event of
the evening, in which every portion of
the civilized world has been more or
less deeply interested. The scenes
have been animated from morning to
night, reaching their height as darkness
fell over the Crescent City.
The crowds on the streets have grown
day by day, until tonight the aggrega-
tion of visitors was as great as the
crowds of q carnival. Every point bear
ing upon the work or condition of the
men has been rich mOrsel rolling in
the mouths of men, women and chill
dren.
The wait FOR evening seemed tiresome
to all. 1t apparently affected the out
side as deeply as it did the participants
in 1.-THE battle. Both men were known
to be i'll prime condition, and the great
est fight of the series was looked for
ward to Ly all with keen anticipation.
There was universal movement in the
direction of the club. even before the
shades of evening had begun to fall.
Business men. lawyers and journal
lists took their dinners down town. and
had their vehicles ordered early. They
were willing to wait at the club, but
they we're unwilling to waste time going
down. at o'clock the carriages were
already heading down Canal street,
which was
Crowded with People
and vehicles. Down mtersecting streets
carriages were rushing to the scene of
battle.
Every avenue leading away from the
was hot, and windows and doors were
wide open and dark with occupants.
Every carriage got cheer as it sped
swiftly by. and there were SO many car
riageS that bedlam seemed to have tenn

howls of men frantic with Joy over a
great triumph, and had raised his head
proudly to acknowledge the homage
thus paid him.
But now he could not raise his head.
The fiaring, dazzling lights whirled
wildly about him. and he seemed TO be
in the vortex of vast whirlpool lined
with shrieking humanity, spangled with
glancing lights, dazzling and binding
as the sun at MONDAY. And those deaf
ening shouts that fell upon his ear, as
if they would drown the roar of Mag
ara, were so harsh, hateful and dis
cordant.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1892-09-08

death, and the nearest approach to their
modern prototype may have wished it
had been so with him. Who shall tell
The Bitterness That Came
to Sullivan during those few, moments
of returning consciousness, when he
awoke from that binding, troubled
dream in which the smallest fraction of
seconds dragged themselves into hours,
to learn that he had lost in those few
brief moments all that he had priced in
life?
His unexampled repute as boxer
had been ell the world to him. He was
vain of it, nay, he gloried in it. This
| one fight was to have been his last. He
knew well that he would not go on for
ever knocking out the strongest and
most skillful of boxers.
His reputation after he had defeated
Kilrain was all that he had desired to
| make. but the chance of winning such
splendid purse had tempted him to
| enter the ring once more, not for glory,
! tor he was acknowledged
Champion of Champions,
| but his princely extravaganza in squan-
| dering money upon his friends had left
| him in such a condition financially that
the chance Of winning $4,000 by one
| fight was one which he could i'll afford
! to disregard.
1t was only the torture of training
| that had made him hesitate. The
thought of defeat had never for mo-
ment entered his head. He had never
recognized such possibility. What,
| then. could have been the feeling of ut
| ter desolation and hopeless ruin that
came to him when returning conscious
ness brought to him a realization of his
| position?
The long and to him the terrible
| martyrdom he had suffered in training
bad all been for nothing, and worse
| than nothing. The princely sum he
| had wished to win was now forever be-
| yond his reach, and with it had gone
his name as champion of champions.
Little boys as they played in the street
would no longer speak of him as the
greatest of men. All the thousand aud
one little tributes that had been wont
to tickle his vanity were for Sullivan nc
more. There would be
A New Champion
for all this. Even those upon whom he
had squandered hundreds of dollars
when in his glory would now forget
him. This was to be the end of a
career that John l.. Sullivan had al.
ways looked upon as the brightest OF
the century.
From being the man whose name had
been the chief attraction for an au.
dience which it had cost more than a
quarter of a million to assemble, he
mad evidently fallen to the place of a
defeated pugilist. In the bright days
that were gone the newspapers had ex
asperated him by exaggerating his
freaks of dissipation, now the news
papers would pay no attention to his
excesses; they would leave him to the
police and the patrol wagon should he
| drink too much.
And yet what had Sullivan done that

THE PRELIMINARIES.
Everything Arranged Quickly and
Without Wrangling.

New ORLEANS, Sept. THE first
sign of the contest for the champion
ship of America came in the person of
Police Captain William Barrett, who
went Into the ring five minutes to g..
The scales On which the gloves were
weighed were laid behind the center
post.
Ex-Mayor Guillot, who acted as
master of ceremonies, entered the arena
a few minutes later and made speech,
warning the spectators that they must
be careful not to violate any rule Of the
club.
{ Sullivan entered the ring first, dressed
in green trunks and black shoes and
socks. He looked in perfect condition.
COrbett followed q moment later, and
looked pale and finely drawn beside
his bulky antagonist. He wore an air
Of confidence, however, smiled and
nodded to acquaintanceS around the
ring, though ne was said by some peO-
pie to be little nervous.
| Police Captain Barrett stepped to the
center of the ring and presented Prof.
John Duffy with beautiful silver bowl
and ladle.
! John Donaldson and Billy Delaney
were announced as COrbett'S seconds,
With Bat Masterson as timekeeper.
Charles Johnson and Jack McAulitfe
seconded John l.. Sullivan, Frank Mo-
ran timekeeper.
The gloves were weighed and found
| to be according to the law. and they
were given to The fighters. In the parley
which was held in the center OF the
ring, Corbett looked entirely outclassed
in point of build, though his friends re-
lied upon his cleverness to win the bat
tie. The pivot blow and backheeling
were barred by mutual consent, and the
| men, agreeing to fight fair. were sent to
their corners to get ready for the fray.

OH the nose, but evened up matters
little with his right. Jim landed a
heavy left on the nose, and both men
bugged each other in the clinch. Sulli-
van was missing many blows now,
though when be did land it was twice
as heavy as his antagonists. Both men
landed light lefts, but the Californian
landed heavily on the stomach. AS the
gong sounded Jim had all the best of
Sullivan. and went to his corner looking
like the victor.
Tenth Round.
Sullivan attempted to land his left
but the blow was very short. He fol-
lowed his opponent, however. and both
exchanged lefts, COrbett's right found
the champions head and his left got
there moment later, but the champion
landed OH the head in return. This was
a great fight so far, and COrbett appar-
emily had the admiration of the crowd,
as he was doing the most OF the hitting.
When the round ended COrbett was
Justify cheered.
Eleventh Round.
Both landed good blows, and Sullivan
got twisted around from the force of his
left. Corbett showed great ability even
at clinching his opponent. Sullivan
a crushing blow on the nose. Jim tried
to deliver heavy right-hand blow, and
the champion was forced to the ropes to
avoid it. Sullivan received punch in
the stomach from the left, and got it
again moment later.
Twelfth Round
Sullivan was last to respond, and
when he did he got left in the stom-
ach. He got it again very heavily and
a repetition moment later. Sullivan
landed fairly good blow with his right,
though he got the left in the stomach in
return. Jim landed another left in
return. Jim landed another in the
stomach and ran away smiling. The
Californian landed good left on the
head, but the champion stopped the
right with his shoulder. Sullivan made
vicious rush and Corbett clipped him
in the stomach with his left. The
champions head was forced back twice
from two heavy left-handerS. and the
round wound up with both of Corbett's
hands in Sulliyan's stomach.
Thirteenth Round.
Jim was first up. Again lodging the
usual left lead from the champion, he
slipped away from left moment
later, and the men boxed scientifically
for an opening. Sullivan could not
draw his antagonist on with left-hand
feints, but he barely touched his body
with the left. The mems toes touched,
they stood so close, and Sullivan at.

short. Corbett stepping away. Sullivan
was now forcing matters more care
fully. He got left on the nose that

AN IDEAL ATHLETE.
Corbett Presented Perfect Phys
ical Appearance.

New ORLEANS, Sept. Tt may we'll
be questioned II such giants ever faced
the scratch In prize ring. Certainly
neither of these had ever gazed upon
such formidabe-looking antagonist.
Both were splendid specimens of phys
ical development, but they were as
unlike as Apollo and Hercules.
Beautiful in every outline, from neck
to his heels, Corbett looked the ideal
athlete cut in the whitest marble in
heroic proportions. The seal ching blue
white rays OF the great electric light
seemed to chill the least trace of color
from his naturally white skin. 1t had
not even the warmth of ivory white, but
rather the pale tint of pure Parian
marble,
But In spite of this rare delicacy of
hue there was no dellcacys of form. A
large, well-formed head and pleasing
face, suggestive rather of the tragedian
than the pugiliSt, but with the firip-set
jaw and an eye such would have served
the gladiator of 1900 years ago, the
knight of the middle ages or the dashing

Why could he not stand up and at
least wave his hand to his

as he had done SO often? He turns to
raise his head. What is it that touches
his hot, steaming face? Blood-stained
sand, the sand OF the ring soaked with
blood and the body of the winner of a
hundred battles lying prone and help
less upon it.
Close beside him. in spite of the
shrieking and bowling crowd outside
the ropes, he hears the words ''seven,
eight, nlne, out" and then the loud
twang of the gong tells that the battle
is over.
The battle is over, and as his dazed
and blinded eyes aie gradually restored.
John l.. Sullivan tasted for the first
time in his long and brilliant career the
norwood and gall of defeat.

and strength, though possibly trifle
longer than would fit the typical
pugilist.
From the broad base of the tower
shaped neck, the white shoulders
dropped gracefully away, rounding out
to great thickness over the ladies' and
corresponding fullness over the whole
width of chest, giving an enormous
trunk, gracefully though but slightly
lettering to the hips, and so nearly
cylindrical in form as to detract to a
small extent from the apparent breadth
of the shoulders and chest.
With grand width and weight of mus
cular cord. Corbett's large but shapely
trunk was strapped to strong, massive
aud muscular hips or thighs we'll laid
together, but graceful in outline.

size and in Parian marbieo-~-that was
James COrbett as he stood in the ring
ready for the battle that was to make or

looked as gay and jaunty as though he
had been putting on the gloves ito

sounded he received heavy left on the
