DETAILS BY ROUNDS.
Round 1-Corbett at the call of time
sprang to the center OF the ring with his
man just emerging from the corner. Cor
bett fought with the same style OF guard
employed so successfully in his combat
with Sullivan. MitchelFs guard was low,
with his left hand tending downward
and his right went in over the heart.
The Englishman was forced to the south
ropes by feints and for full half min
ute the men stood or pranced, feinting
and tiddling about. Mitchell finally shot
out his left for the body, falling short in
the effort, Corbett endeavoring 10 counter
ha..
clinch, Corbett at once anticipating his
opponents move by putting the heel Of
one glove up against MitchelFs nose.
Mitchell then, after couple OF efforts,
got in with his left on the stomach OF the
American, Corbett countering with his
right on the ear and bringing
color to the Briton's face. Mitchell
twice led for Corbett's eyes, land
ing both times, but short in each
instance. Corbett continued nursing his
man around the sides of the ring, as
Schaefer would the ivories in long rail-
run. Corbett landed lightly with his left,
Mitchell making it good with two body
blows, one to tho short ribs and the other
on the chest. Both were light, and landed
without leaving any superficial traces.
Mitchell again sent out his left, falling
short, and doing no harm. On another
lead from Mitchell, who was being
penned against the ropes, and thus forced
to lead, Corbett planted light left over
the heart of the Englshman. Mitchell
once more tried to tight his man off by
leading with his left, the American
countering with his right for the head.
Mitchell avoided 1t by his clever and
famous duck. Just before time was
called he led for Corbett's face, landing
lightly as the man was going away from
it, and then following it up, he repeated
the blow. When Corbett went to his cor
ner a smile of self-confidence lit up his
features, as if to say: He's weighed and
found wanting"

up against the ropes throughout the
round, Mitchell once reaching center by
taking to his feet and getting ont of the
tight corner in which Corbett had
hemmed him. Corbett led with his left,
reaching the face with jolt which shook
the man from her majesty's domain.
Mitchell led with his right. COrbett get

eigner to the southeast corner with his
right, and on Mitchell ducking upper-cut
the latter with a short-arm Lett. Mitchell
ran in on Corbett after this, the Ameri-

and drawing back quick for repeater,
