THE NENT GREAT FIGHT
ilttSburE. Pa, Jan 26-Fhe fight no
tween Corbett and jackson next .Jule
will likely take place in England To
night Jackson. who is playing n =
local theatre, received intellicence that
'"rbelt rather preferred that the con
test come OIL on the other side of the
water on account of the difficulties
met with III his recent match with
Mitchell.
Both men, 1t is said. arc satisfied that
the principals in the next mill fought
IN tins country will encounter even
greater obstacles than in the last one.
and for that reason they would willingly
agree to go to England if a lary,
purse was offered.
Jackson stated tonight that he would
meet the champion on English soil nr
anywhere in this country north of the
Mason and Dixon line, but he would
rot fight in the south.
MITCHELL MUCH RICHER.
Jacksonville Fla, Jan. 26.-However
much it may be argued that Charley
Mitchell. of England, is not Il prize
fighter, it certainly cannot be urged
that he is not Il financier The opinion
obtalnsI among some of the sporting
men who are preparing to leave
Jacksonville today that, although
physically knocked out, Mr. "Charley's"
purse strings are considerably straiE
to accommodate the size of his win
nings by suffering that ignominy
BY appearing in the ring he won
$1,000 from Brady, the manager of
torbett. the California brute who
hammered him into mconsciousness.
and only he and his eminently re-
spected fathcr-inlaw, Pony Moore,
Know how much more. The late
Squire Abingdon put up the $4,000
original stake money to make the
match, half Of which was withdrawn
to be added to Mr. Mitchelrs bank ac-
count Then the Duval club allowed
him $1,000.
The aggregate Of the willy British
pugiliStS winnings from these three
sources is $4,000, quite tidy sum for
being knocked out. The previous
methods Of Mr.. Charley" convey the
idea that he bet more money on Cor
bett than he did on himself, and II
this theory is correct he probably made
more than gentleman .Iim," his op-
ponent.
The latter, aside from the betting.
is $4,000 better off than he was yes
terday. How much better off Mr..
Mitchell is in fnaciaI sense will
never be known, but he probably
wouldn't exchange his winnings for
those of COrbett
Mitchell and Corbctt appeared In
court at 9 O'Clock this morning to- an
Swer the charges against them. Az
ter q short argument the case was
put over until the next term of the
court, Feb. %, which means that 1t

$1,000 for each principal were cOntin-
ued. AS soon as Corbett's case was
conunued the champion walked over
to the Mitchell party and extended his
hand to Mitchell. who shook 1t heart
lily. COrbett also shook hands with
Mitchell's friends and said to MITCHELL:
Good by, old man; I'll see you in
New York"
Corbett left at II o'clock for New
York, where he will show his brutal
qualities tomorrow night before AZ
many persons as care to pay SO for
the privilege. Mitchell, who Is not ap-
parently damaged, will leave in day
or two for New York
