All jacksonville was astir early, in fact,

being that the Englishman would stand 10

perfectly confident. He arose at Z, hun

short. light expercise and then partook of
mutton chops steak. potatoes, toast and

TO leave for the ringside. He expressed
himself as having a good chance TO win,
and declared that he would do so il he
could.
Although orders were received last night
for the dismissal of the troops. the adju-

steak. eggs. toast and tea. and was all

1t was 9:20 o'clock when the special
moved on to Jacksonville. The party was
made up of Mrs. Corbett aud Mrs. De-
laney. Miss Howard. Cor6ett, w. A
Brady, Billy Delaney. Porter and Sidney
Ashe, John N. Ward. John Donaldson,
Dan Creedon, Tom Tracy, George Lake,
Corbetts father-in-law, kid" Eagan and
representative of the Associated Press.
Orders had been given by Brady that
the twenty-two-mile run be made at a
rate of speed not exceeding fifteen miles
an hour 1t is tortuous. serpentine route
and fuil OF sharp curves, and Corbett's
manager decided to take no chances. Nor
was the astute Brady unprepared for the
proclamation of martial law after the ar.
rival of the party in Jacksonville. Pro-
visions for three days stay in the woods
were packed away in cases. as were gloves,
should Mitchell endeavor 70 force any
sharp practice.
There was little of concern on the face
of Corbett as he sat In his coach. He was
playing his favorite game of whist. with
Delaney as a partner, against Ward and
Ashe. Brady, if there was any anxiety,
bore the whole load. Mrs. Corbett and
other ladies of the party were in iocular
humor and chatted on matters and topics
altogether foreign to the fight.
No less than four hours ahead Of time
the shaky coaches and old-fashioned dunn
my engine pulled into the siding which
served as one of the terminal depots. At
10:40 O'Clock the report had gone out that
Corbett was to arrive. and all of South

This purpose was IN COrbetrs heart as
be faced the Englishman, but his own
greed for vengeance undid it, and he
fought quickly and vicously as a tiger.
What Mitchell thought as be faced the
Western giant may never be known.
Doubtless his governing thought was to win
for glory. At the outset his every action
Indicated the watchfulness which has
characterized his puglistic history. but
mingled with this was the evidence of the
bitter hatred which he bore toward his tall
opponent. This bitterness added strength
to his blows, but did not abate his careful
ness and cunning-rather. ii intensified
them. AS the fight drew quickly to an
end and the American showed himself
master OF the Englishman, evidences of
something akin to despair began to be
noticeable in his manner.
He called to his aid his very best powers
as ring general, and tried to stave off the
inevitable. The blows Of his opponent,
however, were zoo heavy, too scientifically
directed to be withStood. The English
mans rallies became feebler and feeOler,
as blow after blow was rained on him,
and though he stood punishment with a
grim, bulldog determination, neither
human nor brute nature could withstand
the stunning effect of the blows he re-
ceived, and as be sank to the ground de-
feated man there was a look on his face of
sorrowful regret. mingled with hate, fierce
and malignant. such as is seldom seen on

onds afterward. Mitchell writhed about
under the ropes and finally labored to an
upright position. Corbett thought the
fight had already been won. The referee
stood between the recumbent form of
Mitchell and Corbett. and when the former
struggled dizzily to his feet Kelly stepped
aside so as not to obstruct the champions
view. calling attention to the fact that the
Englishman was In fighting attitude.
Corbett Ieaped from his seat, and with a
bound flew at Mitchell The latter
was fifteen feet away. dizzily leaning up
against the ropes, and Corbett came at him
as if out of catapult. There was right
hand swing next brought into play. and it
was delivered while at full speed. The
added weight of CorDett's own running
weight was lent to the blow, and when it
landed it fell squarely on the point of the
jaw. MitchelPs head fell forward on his
breast, his lower Jaw dropped, his left hand
fell Imply to his side, the right falling
under his body in its descent and the body
reached the floor face downward and lay
there lifeless as il dead. There could be
no further doubts, there was not one
chance In a thousand that he would
recover inside of the prescribed
ten seconds. His face turned slightly
the right, and from the mouth and nostrilS
oOZed blood IN tiny streams. Kelly had
counted ten seconds slowly enough, and
in his deliberation about the matter there
was much of mercy. When time had finally
run the limit, Kelly with wave of the
hand toward Corbetts cor ner, shouted,
"Corbett wins!" at the same time
beckoning the seconds of Mitchell to their
man. Pony" Moore. Jim Hall and Steve
O'DOnnell stopped down over Mitchell.
ODOnnell applying bottle of ammonia

lay there despite this, and the three picked
up his limp body and slowly carried it to
the corner. Here the bottle was again put
to Mitchell. and nineteen seconds after the
last blow had been sent in his eyed opened
dreamlly. 'Y YOu're oul," said Pony Moore.
Mitchell made no response verbally. but
shrugged his shoulders as if thinking of
the sDiled-milk story. His long English
bathing-gown was forced over his arms
and he was slowly led from the ring to his
dresSing-rOom. Corbett, in the mean
time. was being besieged by crowd Of
friends. They fairly wrung off his arms.
His first act after the fight had been won
and lost was to throw his still gloved
hands about the waist of his little man
ager and backer, and the two INDUCED in
what sounded very much like kiss. Kelly
shook Corbett by the hand. flourished the
$40, GOO roll of bank bills. and told him it
belonged to him on demand. and the inter-
national battle which has kept the political
world as we'll as the fstlc world agog for
nearly year was over.
