CORBETT, THE PUGILIST.
Some Reasons for the Numerous Malignant
Attacks Upon Him.

Some Reasons for the Numerous Malignant
Attacks Upon Him.
Corbett. the champion pugilist, has grossly
offended the sports of the country since he
whipped Sullivan. He has upset all the tradi-
tions Of the prize ring. He should have cele-
brated his victory with tremendous SPREE
then with lavish scattering of his thousands
The saloons and disreputable places should have
been enriched at his expense. His hangers-on
should have been suffered TO live at his expense
He should have playfully punched the head Of
a defenseless man or two, and should have
loudly boosted Of his ability to do" any man,
living or dead. He should have professed will
ingness 10 meet all corners, but made the con-
ditions such as TO be virtually prohibitive
Had he done all this Sullivan's followers would
have forgiven him and he might have been q
good fellow" But Corbett simply deter
mined to get some Of the immense sums that
were being made out Of the prize ring and has
gone quietly on his way. attending to his bust
ness and. considering the provocations, saving
very little. No one ever did a manlier thing
than he did in giving his aid to Sullivan's bene-
Mt performance after the big fight, although he
knew Sullivan's heart was full of hate toward
him. As Jim wakely said: I'VE wouldn't have
zone as much for him. John. if we had won >"
The sports" cannot understand how one can
be fighter and gentleman. The Philadel-
phia Tunes, In concluding attack upon him,
saws:
This fellow Corbett we know not whence he

turn u against him BY the repeated inquiry:
Is he not Pompadour Jim, the gentleman play
actor?'"

drawn with the care and knowledge which

want them enforced so that licenses will

But there was no need to pose model like, for
every woman on the block was devouring that
costume detail by detail, with critical eyes.
And it's difficult to keep critical eyes nowadays,
for We have been outraged by colors and styles
until we don't know what is correct and what
is merely an accident and bad taste. But pur-
pie and blue can still stimulate jaded attention.
This young womans gown was Of blue plain
navy blue, and her Henri II coat was of pur-
pie, plain royal purple. Her hat was big and
black, covered with purple veil. The skirt of
her gown was short and flared-of course.
1t was trimmed with several rows of plain
black silk braid, the broadest at the bottom and
the nsrrowest half way up the skirt. When she
lifted her hand to open the carriage door a
Spencer waist, with black silk sleeves, was re-
vealed to the interested spectators. Behold,
then, an 1880 dress.
Her cloak was of velvet, long. ample with
high fur-trimmed collar. short fur-trimmed
colarette. huge plat and other things which
are to be bought but not made or described
The velvet was brocaded and the fur was
Russian sable.
Behold. then, Henri II cloak worn over an
1880 gown by girl Of 1893.
But let not historians SILVER, nor artists tear
their hair. The milliners and the dressmakers
are becoming literally educated, for to do these
wonderful things they must study the past from
the days Of Elizabeth to Baby Ruth.
