tween James J. Corbett aud Charles
Mitchell, which is scheduled to take
place in this city to morrow. The order
granting the injunction is very brief, the
Judge simply stating that in his opinion
s'glove contests'' were not violative of
that law OF Florida which forbids "fcht-
ing bv previous appointment"
The Court room was packed almost
to suftocation By the sporting gentry,
aud when the import of the order vas
realized pandemonlum broke loose,
Cheer after cheer came fcom the throats
Of lovers of pugilism, and the officials of
tie Court were utterly unable to qnell
the disorder. Judge Call grew red in the
face and pounded .f,r order, but the
sports were too overjoyed to be con-
trolied easily.

Nne men out Of every ten believed
ts.as Judge Call would uphold the Cover
nor in lis efforts to prevent the nail,
and when bis decision in favor of the

gere dunbfounded. At present the
cub people are on top for the first time
since they undertook to pull off the
Gaatch. but how long they will remain on
top is question. II Governor Mitchell

Governor has been 80 determined in op-

THE FIGHT.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 25-J ames
John Corbett OF California is the cham
pion pugilist Of the world. He won
the honor attwenty eight minutes past
2 o'clock this afternoon, when @Honest"
| John Kelly pronounced him the winner
of the prize of $4,000 In his fight with
Charles Mitchell, the champion of
England. The fight was an easy Victo.
ry for the American champion. 1t
lasted only three rounds, and Corbett
was the aggressor from the very start.
Mitchell was clearly out-classed, and
although the fight was q sharp and ex
citing one, it was really a one-sided
one ir every particular. There were
folly 1900 people present and all of
them were disappointed because the
spectacle was 50 short as to hardly give
thep the worth Of their money-espe-
cially those who had paid S25 for box
seats and come from 1000 to 5000
| miles to occupy them.

that they should keep their names anu
products prominently before the public,
