The great battle aud the easy victory of
the American was the main topic of con-
versstion during the remainder of the day.
Many of the Mitchell people ella ed that
Corbstt had fouled Mitchell twice by
striking him when he was down, but they
admitted that this cut no figure in the
contest. Mitchell was no match for Cor
bett, which was clearly demonstrated after
the first round. The battle was surprising
to the point of amusement because the man
who had fought Sullivan to a draw in
three hours and ten minutes in Chsntilly
was to-day never q menace, even to Cor
bett.
After Corbett began fighting he seemed
to consider Mitchell nothing but Q chop
ping block. He abandoned nearly every
idea of defense and fought savsgely and
with a manifest determination to finish
quickly. Yet even in such q battle Cor
bett suffered not much more that he might
in lively set to with his trainer. He left
the ring without a mark. There will never
be another word heard about Corbett's lack
of hitting power. He hammered Mitchell
terribly and delivered his blows with snap,
were convinced that there Was more power
in one of his blows than In three of Mitch
ellis. The critics are compelled to agree
that Corbett 10 vastly Aitchelrs superior In
science, the quality on which Mitchell has
gained his reputation.
After the fight Corbett fought his way
out of the barn and ran for his dressing
room. Mitchell's bruised and bleeding
face was made as presentabls as possible,
and half an hour after the battle he was on
his way to his quarters in the Everett
house. When a press reporter saw Cor

rather anxious expression was replaced by

rounds and went into the contest willing 1t
should. But guess the sighting instinct
got the better of me, for / could not hold
back my right Mitchell ia a game man.
No coward would have come back for his
punishment as he did. I expect to return
to New York with my party to morrow
and have q special train for that purpose"
Mitchell was seen at the Everett house.
He said seriously: 81 met a man who is
my superior In weight and height and I
superior in science. ae stopped me in
three rounds. Does not that tell the storyl"
When asked the question of fouls, Nit
chell indignantly said that no friend of his
would make that kind of talk.
Referee Kelley said he had done with
refereeing fights. He declared that Nit
chell was never struck when he had one
knee on the floor. Bat Masterson did not
conceal his ohsgrin and disappointment.
He is said to have lost a pretty stiff sum.
BOTH MEN ARRESTED.
Soon after the return OF Mitchell to the
Everett house and of Corbett to the st.
James hotel, both of them were arrested
on warrants charging them of having COM
mitted the offsnse of fighting by agree
ment. The men were both taken to the
court house, where their bail was fixed at
81, 500 each. Bonds for their appearance
were furnished. ]. D. Burbridge, mana
ger of the opera house, signed on Corbetps
bond, and State Senator Genovar signed
for Mitchell.
The charge against Mitchell, 1t is under
stood, will be tried in the morning, but
Oorbetts case will be postponed to allow
him to 60 to New York to keep his engage
ment at the Madison Square Garden on
Saturday. In event of Mitchell's trial re-

cessity of ais returning.
Nearly all the members of the Duval
Athletic club were arrested in the same
way, and a few of the noted sports In town,
as being aiders and abettors and present
during the fight. They were released on
bonds of 81 500 each.
It is said that an effort will BIS made to
get the seconds of ths two men out of the
state on a special train some time to-
night.
SULLIVAN AND JACKsoN's VIEWS.
WILMNsToN, Del, Jan. 25.-John l..
Sullivan, this evening, declared that the
result of the Corbstt- Mitchell fight
was just as ne had expected. he
had predicted Corbstt would win
in four rounds. Sullivan said: sin
all probability 1 will challenge Corbett
but not for q year. have two years in
which to fight him. could not get into
condition in one year. Corbett Is TO fight
inside of a year, and 1t would be unfair to
challenge him while preparing for thst.
After that will be time. I believe l can
whip any man in the world. 1 am now In
better shape than ever. and could soon
| At myself for the fight"
HFIhSohS' -, SsH. Guy sef Sacksoni
who is to fight Corbett next June, said to-
night:
1.-THE fight resulted as anticipated, &C
far as Mitohells defeat goes, but I an
surprised at the sudden manner in which
it ended. The resulss show Corbett to
be q sipgularly scientific and successful
fighter and do IS great credit to Mitchell
1t puts at rest the statement that he WA
oowsrdly. I have nothing to say sbou
the meeting between Corbett and myself
save that I will do my best to try snt
