ARRIVES.

The Champion Comes UP From Mayport
Early In the Morning.
Down at the ferry landing at May
port q large crowd gathered to speed
the parting guests on the way with
cheers and good wishes. 1t was a mot
ley gathering of people Of both sexes
and both colors. When finally the tall,
1.-the form of the champion, in a close
fitting business suit. appeared at the
head of his delegation, there was a loud
cheer from the assembled throng at the
station, a compliment which Corbett
gracefully acknowledged with a nod of
the head. There was happiness written
all over his face, and as the train slowly
steamed away the disappearing crowd
in the distance enthusiastically waved
their kerchiefs and hats and gave
rousing cheers for the sake of
patriotism. The trip up the river was
%uneventful. Down at the landing here
there were carriages in waiting and a
reception committee made up of sports,
gentlemen, ragamufiins and pickanin-
MES. Across the river at South jack
s%onville a self appointed escort of Ell.
thusiastic people had put the champion
aboard the ferry. When the boat landed
on this side of the river, Corbett and his
retainers walked with a quick pace to
the carriages, and hen they We're driven
posthaste to the st. James hotel, running
the gauntlet of hundreds of eyes as they
made their way to their rooms Once
in the Dol only the most intimate
friends of the champion were allowed to
enter, and Corbett crrefully made prep
arations for his trip to the rinyside.

The Guardian of Kiulani the Author of
the Patriotic League Petition.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.-S. T. Alex
ander of Oakland, who formerly lived
in Honolulu, says he has received au-
Ihentic information that the address to
President Cleveland issued by the Ha-
waiian Patriotic league, was written by
7. NJ. Davies, the guardian of Princess
Kiulani, who is to be Liliuokolani's sue
cessor as queen of Hawaii if the Royal
list plans are carried out. Said Alex
ander:
Davies object in wishing the ex-
queen restored is obvious. He is Kiu-
lani's guardian and has hopes that if re-
stored to the throne, Liliuokolani
will abdicate in her favor. Davies is
an Englishman, with large business in
terests in Hawaii, but his home is in
Liverpool. He went to Honolulu as a
common clerk and accumulated great
wealth. Now he wishes to shine in
British society. and his great ambition
is to represent Hawaii as minister to the
court of st. James. This will be accom-
plished if the queen is restored. Davies
is extremely British in all his affiliations
and regards the increase of American
interests in the islands with great dis
ayOr.

THE DOORS OPENED.
Promptly at Noon the Crowd Poured
Into the Arena.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 26.-Promptly at
IL o'clock the doors were opened, and
the crowd, which had by this time
swollen to fully 500, made a wild surge
through the doors. They carried the
one lone ticket taker entirely off his
feet, and before he regasned a standing
position at least 20 men had passed into
the arena to view the fight without the
necessity of going to their pockets for
something which they probably did not
contain. The workmen had not finished
padding the posts, and fully a dozen of
them were placing pillows around them.
The pillows, however, We're much too
short, and a space of fully 80 inches was
left between the bottom of the pillow
and the floor Of the platform. 1t made
an ugly place for a man to strike his
head upon if he should happen to he
knocked against it.
While n gang of men We're working
N the rosin on the floor of the ring, an
other was laboring to stretch canvas
from the roofs to the sides of the edge of
the arena. There was a feeble effort to
keep out the rain which came down in
fearful spurts but was death to the
hopes of the men who. had discovered
the mode of entrance into the arena. 1t
effectually prevented them from slip
ping over the edges of the arena.
Referee John Kelly came into the
grounds later, carrying a small unpre.
Notwithstanding bundle, but it contained
that that without which there would
have been nc fight here. 1t was in fact
Q bundle of banknotes, consisting of sew

How Mitchell Lost and COrbett Won the
Fight.
The men entered the ring and time
was called at $50 p. IN. The referee
ordered them to shake hands, but neither
responded. Then the fight began.
First round-Corbett led with left on
Mitchell's chin. They clinch. Ex-
changed body blows and Jim reaches
Charles left eye, heavily. Mitchell
reaches the ribs. Another exchange
and Mitchell clinches. Mitchell gets in
on Corbett's neck, and Jim lands right

round. 1t looks as if it was to he a
wicked fight.
Second round-A wild exchange and
a clinch. Corbett uppercuts his man
as they come together. Mitchell lands
hard on ribs, and as Mitchell came in
Jim caught him on head, staggering
him. Corbett uppercuts Mitchell again
and lands with right on Charles
ribs, Mitchell reaching Jim's chin
as a sharp rally, with Corbett hav-
ing all the best Of it. They
are going to get at it. Mitchell got in
twice on Corbett's neck. Corbett
knocks him down twice in succession.
Jim fioored his man clearly and knocked
him down again as he assayed to arise.
The gong saved Mitchell.
Third round-Mitchell rather groggy.
Corbett rushed at him, swung right and
left heavy on Mitchell's neck. Charlie
went down. He took the full time to
arise, and then Corbett rushed at him
like a tiger. Mitchell clinched. Cor
bett threw him off and foored him with
q stiff facer. Again he took all the time
to rise, and when he advanced towards
Corbett the latter swung his right with
deadly effect on Charles nose. Mitchell
reeled and fell on his face, helpless.
Corbett wins easily.
The referee counted /, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, z,

CONDEMNED THE RING.
Dempsey and Hall Demanded n Better

Dempsey and Hall Demanded u Better
Place to Fight In.
Jack Dempsey went over to the ring
to inspect the arrangements. He found
the floor i'll a shaky condition, and the
posts not padded, He emphatically told
the officers of the Duval club that unless
the matters were remedied there would
be no fight, as Corbett would not enter
the ring in that condition.
Jim Hall went over to inspect the ring
on behalf of Mitchell, and heartily APP
proved of the alterations suggested by
Dempsey, and intimated as Dempsey
had done, that it would be wise action
on the part of the club to get a move on
itself if it cared to see his principal in IA
fight. This put the club almost into a
fit, and 1t started to do things with what
passes for a hurry in this de-
liberate land. The nearer the
contest comes the worse seems to
he the management of the Duval club.
Its members seemed more than ever to
justify Mitchells caustic comment:
There amt a man in it with brains

ing tickets at all kinds of prices and
charges are openly made that it has not
hesitated to sell the desirable seats of
the arena several times over. This
means that the mill between Mitchell
and Corbett will be the wind up of a
long series of petty rows and fights
among the audience.

was inevitable. A long prelude Of cross
firing in the press finally brought the
men together. An agreement was pre-.
pared early last summer and the month
Of December selected for the date. The
articles of agreement included q stake
of $40, 900 each, to be posted by the men
and invitation to the then three leading
clubs in America, to bid against each
other for the honor of the battle-ground.
Even before the match was made
Mitchell had signed q promise with
Charley Noel to give New Orleans the
preference, but fighting got a black eye
in the Crescent City by the Hall-Fitz-
simmons fiascO and COney Island was
left to wrestle with Roby for the con-
sent Of the fighters. Judge Newton
came out victor in the competition but
York politics. Mayor Body signed the
death warrant Of Coney Island.
Roby Had q Pyrotechnic Career,
and then Governor Matthews prepared
a shroua for the club and its hackers,
and Mitchell and Corbett turned their
eyes southwark for money and a battle
ground. They dickered with the Olym-
pic club of New Orleans, made their
demands decisive, and finally lost the
opportunity to fight without annoyance
and police protection. Then from among
a mass of offers the pugilists picked out
the one from Jacksonville for serious
consideration. j. L. Il. Bowden, one of

Island was sounded. He rushed back
here, consulted the Florida statutes,

found backing on both sides and the
Duval Athletic Club Was Born.
Then the commissioner of the club
went East, met the hackers of the pugil-
lists, talked business to them and OBJ
tanned their signatures to articles of
agreement. Under the agreement the
club offered "a purse of SEQ, 900 and
acceded to IA demand of the pugilists for
5000 to covhr training and incidental
expenses. Tire Coney Islands original
offer was $40, 900 for the fight. Execu-
tive interference sliced the purse in two.
After making the match the Duval club
proceeded to advertise it broadcast.
Then kilograms began to pour into Jack
sonville protesting against the contest.

He ranged himself in stern opposition.

ton of the action for an injunction.
The club won the legal tilt, the state
gracefully yielding, and the most inter-
esting match which pugilistic history
records was permitted to proceed to its
finale. The fight was under Queens
berry rules, with Bounce gloves, with a
referee selected by the club and with no
limit to the number of rounds.

All Jacksonville Was Up at an Unusually
Early Hour.

All Jacksonville Was Up at an Unusually
Early Hour.
JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 25.-This city
wa up and doing earlier than it has
been for many a day. 1t had been fairly
lively all night long, for many of the
sports were so late in getting ready for
bed that they We're afraid they might
miss something, so they remained up
and made themselves very much in
evidence throughout the small hours.
The rush toward the arena began at
an early hour. 1t was long before the
time set for the contest when streams of
buggies, carriages and all sorts of
vehicles began to drift out toward the
arena. The price of transportation
went up with the increased
demand. Hard times in the North
have made visitors fewer in
humber this year than for a decade.
The hackmen of Jacksonville, therefore,
preps' to accumulate as much wealth
as possible to tide them over a hard
summer. Two, three and four dollars
was asked and paid for a trip to the
arena. The price carried with it the
privilege Of Q return ticket, but there
was no earthly chance of finding the
original vehicle, as the avaricious jehus
snapped up everything that had the
price of a ride and let the majority of
those whom they carried out get back
to town the best way possible. The jam
around the doors of the arena was dense

fenced by anybody.

BERLIN, Jan. 26.-At the castle prep

Prince Bismarck, who will be the guest
of Emperor William during his stay in
Berlin. A suite of rooms in the castle
has already been thrown open and pre-
pared for the use of the e~x-chancellor,

1t is understood the prince will cor

thing like direct participation in gov
eminent affairs is far from contempla-
ton of any of those concerned.
Chancellor Won Caprivi, according to
reports, will remain chancellor in fact,
as his position will be in no way weak
ened by the reconciliation between the
ex-chancellor and the emperor.
