CoRBErr,s RECORD.

A History of the Champions Life as
Told by Himself.
The story of James ]. Corbett's life is
best told by himself. He says:
81 was born in San Francisco on Sep
tember lat, 26 years ago, received my ed
ucation at Sacred Heart college in that
city and at 16 entered the Nevada bank.
At IS l became boxing instructor in the
Olympic club. My first fight of conse-
ouence was with Jack Burke. Joe Choyn-
skill whipped four times, twice as an anna
teur and twice as professional. Mike
Brennan, the Port Costa Giant, was my
next victim. Then l whipped Captain
James DAILY, Frank Smith and George
Atkinson. next won the $500 purse
offered by the Olympic club Of New Or
leans for the six-round 'go' between
Kilrain and myself. After besting Dom
mick McCaffery l fought the 6l-round
draw with Peter jackson in San Fran
cisco. Then | met any number of
pugiliets who tried to win the money l
offered to any one who would stand be-
fore me for four rounds. In Madison
Square Garden l bested three heavy
weights in one night"
Corbett's fight with John L. Sullivan
in New Orleans over year ago was one
of the great events in the pugilistic
world. It attracted universal attention.
The result of the fight WAS q surprise to
many, although Corbett himself felt
the utmost confidence in his ability
to whip the great champion. The
fight lasted for 81 rounds, and
resulted in victory for Cor
bett. This victory brought fame and
fortune to Corbett. He is now said to
be worth over 100000. He is married,
but it ia said his domestic life is not all
it should be. AS fighter Corbett is
wonderfully active, gritty and agrees
sive. In his fight with Mitchell he had
the advantage in height and length of
arm.

Further Rumors About the Proposed
Electric Road.
POMONA, Jan. 25.-The latest news and
developments as to Pomona and Clare
mont's electric road-thanks to the un-
firing efforts of President Baldman-are
very satisfactory and cheering indeed;
sufficiently go, in fact, to meet the high
est expectations of its NEST sanguine
friends, as we'll as it's worthy promoters.
1t is said that two cars costing about
$500 have already been ordered; that
rails will be, an soon as the most conve-
nient point at which they can be had is
learned; that Mr.. Foote goes to San
Francisco to inspect style OF storage
battery, claimed to be the best yet in
vented, and that all indications point to
the successful completion of the road by
April LIST between Pomona and her de-
lightful suburban resident and educa-
tional Claremont, the location of Po-
mona college, already endowed with
quite little sum, and Boosting in its
infancy of some 100 matriculations and
as able faculty as can perhaps be
found in any average college in the land.
We are glad to see that the Pomona
Times has struck a proper keynote in
its suggestion this week as to change
in the route at this end of the line, so
as to pass down Holt to Ellen, then
down it to Third, then east to Gearey,
ETC., thus passing by or within block
of almost every church structure in
town, as we'll as by the Odd Fellows'
hall and within half block of the post
Office, and enabling one to get off at q
point not farther than, say, a block from
any business house on Second street.
Whether the additional cost will bar
the consideration or not we cannot say,
but still the fact remsins the same, that
it is beyond all question a pertinent,
reasonable and very desirable sugges-
ton, and one, we doubt not, which will
meet the appreciation of all interested
in securing convenient transportation
for themselves and families to churches,
lodges, entertainments. schools, etc.
Some little disturbance is reported in
the ranks of the fruit exchange, il
seems, but it is now claimed the dis.
turbed waters have been quieted.

other three are girls. Mrs. Mitchell
and her father arrived in New York a
few days ago.
Charley Mitchell has been identified
with boxing and the prize ring since he
was boy of 10. Even at that early date
he displayed wonderful skill and pluck
in boxing. In all OF his encounters in
the ring he has exhibited great general
ship. He is active and very strong.
His hitting power has been consid-
cred superior to that possessed by any
other man, excepting John L. Sullivan.
He has defeated nearly every man
of note in England. His great fight
with Sullivan in France is still fresh in
the minds Of the public. This battle
was according to London prize ring
rules. Sixty odd rounds were fought.
1t is claimed that it was more OF
sprinting match on Mitchel's side than
genuine fight. Sullivan, however,
was unable to do him up. But few men
are better scienced than Mitchell.

An Effort to Have 1t Fought at SAINT
Catnlina.

An Effort to Have 1t Fought at Santa
Catalina.
Yesterday meeting Of sportively in
clined Los Angeles young men was held.
Those present were I. H. LIE Veen, city
editor of the Express, the Banning
brothers, J. H. Aull, F. Schumacher,
Ben Ward and about 10 others. The
meeting was to consider the feasibility
of securing the contest between Jack
con and Corbett, to take place at Santa
Catalina some time inside of year.
1t was decided to offer purse of
$50, 900, and Immediately on the accept
ancs by Corbett the coin will be put in
bank. Those present at the meeting
subscribed $4,000 as a guarantee of
good faith.
kilograms were sent last night TO
Corbett and his friends, and it is ex-
pected that measures will at once be
taken to make the match. If Corbett
objects to Jackson, the purse will hold
good for any match that the champion
may make.
1t is claimed with reason that South
ern California presents the best of eli
mate for training purposes, and as the
Bannings control all means of transport
tation to Santa Catalina, no legal inter-
ference will be possible.

LOCAL COMMENT.

Gossip About the Fight Cleaned by
f'Herald" Reporters.
The interest manifested in Los Angeles
in the Corbett-Mitchell fight was the
greatest taken in any similar event since
Corbett's triumph over Sullivan. The
resorts which had arranged to receive
news of the contest were crowded with
sports long before it was possible
for any returns to be had.
Even many sober-minded citizens
surrounded the bulletin boards, eager to
learn the result of the great champion
ship battle. There was very little bet
ting, as there were few persons willing
to back Mitchell, even at the prevailing
odds of $50 to 500 in favor of Corbett.
When the first bulletins came announc-
ing that the fight WAS on and
both men were giving good &C.
count OF themselves, excitement was at
fever heat. And when it was an
nounced q few moments later that Cor
bett had won in three rounds. enthusi-
asm knew no bounds. Every body
seemed glad that the California boy had
maintained his laurels, except a very
few who had the temerity to place their
coin on the Britisher.
Follow ing are the opinions ex pressed
by several well known local authorities
on sporting matters:
John W. Grifiin-I did not have dol
lar bet, and with me it is simply mat
ter OF patriotism. The American beat
the man from England, and as an ex-
FOUNDER (as well as a pounder) of the
American idea, my congratulations are
due to Corbett.
E. B. Gifford-Don't it warm the
cookies of your heart to hear how nice
our California boy did the Britisher up?
The blood of Bunker Hill is not yet run
out.
Ieaac Barman-Never bet dollar on
it because the betting was not even, and
l never give odds. But Corbett gave
California good cause to be proud OF
him.
Billy Emerson-Home again and
from a foreign shore, just in tire to
win expenses on our Jim. Corbett is
brick and always rewards the confidence
OF his hackers.
General Nicolo de Covsrrubias-O Our
James is the old reliable and he never
disappoints this public. James has
done nobly for California.
Capt. Tom Merry would rather see
one race than q dozen fights, but my
congratulations go out to James Corbett
who has demonstrated that a man can
be fighter without being blackguard.
The mantle of Heenan has fallen upon
him. The brevity of the fight was it's
most remarkable feature. Corbett WAS
known as 1.-THE nimble professor" ten
years ago, but Charley Mitchell was the
quickest boxer England has produced
since Tom Sayers.
