The general feeling was one of keen
disappointment at the poor fight put up
by Mitchell. and of disgust at having
paid so much money for so small a
fight.
Corbett's demeanor throughout the
preliminaries was a study. He sat in
his corner, presenting picture not un-
like an Indian warrior, when Mitchell
came in the ring. His long. pompadonr
hair, his striped robe, thin face and
tightly compressed lips made him look
very much like an Indian chief. When
Mitchell stepped into the ring the look
OH Corbett's face was frightful. He
kept moving his head gently forward
and back; his eyes flashed with anger.
and cold, cruel smile played about his
thin lips. 1t was smile that was ugly;
it meant no mercy, no respite, no any
thing. would be granted to the man
before him. 1t was smile that carried
feeling OF murder with it, and if
Mitchell had never felt uneasy before.
it was enough to bring him discomfort
If he saw it. 1t said, plainly as could
be uttered with the voice: 'He is here,
at last; just where l wanted him, and l
will whip him if l have to kill him."
The smile was trite index of the
result, so soon to follow.

left, failing short and doingno harm. On
another lead from Mitchell, who was
being penned against the ropes and
thus forced to lead, Corbett planted a
light left over the heart of the English
man. Mitchell once more tried to fight
his man off by leading with his left. the
American countering with his right for
the head. Mitchell avoided it by his
clever and famous duck. Just before
time was called he led foc Corbett's
tace, landing lightly as his man was
going away from it, and then following
it up, he repeated the blow When

round. got the stage corner and kept

the center by taking to his feet and
getting out of tight corner in which
COrbett had hemmed him. Corbett led
with his left, reaching the face of his
antagonist with jolt which shook the
man from her majesty's domain. Mitch

that he had the battle won, followed in,

a powerful one and had much to do with
the speedy success that came to the
champion. 1t was at this juncture that
Mitchell first got to the center of the
ring. The crowd saw him wheel about
after the heart blow and hissed at him
as he ran away from Corbett. some Of
the spectators crying out aloud above
the din of the others: "Chantilly."
Corbett kept up the pare. He was bent
on finishing the battle as soon as pos-

heart. The Englishman was forced to
the south ropes by feints, and for full
minute the men stood or pranced, feint-

short in his effort. Corbett endeavored
to counter unsuccessfuily. They came

SHORT AND SHARP.
Running Account of the Great
Knockout Performance.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 25.-It was
short. sharp and decisive fight, too
brief to have any of the elements of
savagery in 1t. 1t was a foregone COLI
clusion from the moment when the men
stepped to the center of the ring, and
Corbetts hatred of the Englishman
coming to the surface prohibited him
from shaking hands with the man who
had so uniformly abused and insulted
HIM. There was all but murder in Cor
belts eyes. They faced each other, and
the Intense feeling of hatred almost
gave Corbett the fight as he cornered
the Englishman, and as his long arms
shot out with the force of catapult,
there was vengeance in the wind. Nit
chell showed wonderful cleverpess in
the beginning, crawling out of the close
quarters into which the superior size,
reach and weight of his opponent bore
him, bat there was no faltering
in COrOett's plan OF campaign, and
he slowly surrounded the BriIon,
raining in upon his head and sides a
shower of savage punches. There was

OF his admirers making sweet music for

trace of punishment. Mitchell remained
[ Ill his dressing room resting after Cor

the blood with which it had been

After Corbett's carriage had ratified

crowd watched the Englishman get into

OF sympathy as his vehicle drove away
down the sandy road.
Just as Corbett's carriage was ready
te drive off deputy sheriff got on top
with the driver, and the startling an-
nouncement was made that the Amer
lean champion was under arrest. Nit
chell did not escape. Sheriff Browar d
walked over to the Englishman'S car
riage just before it was ready to start,
and Mitchell was notified that he must
again face the law. The two men were
only technically under arrest. They
submitted without resistance, and
