JULIAN'S OPPORTUNITY.
Gentlemen" yelled the short and fat
Mr.. Julian, bullying himself out III a
frantic manner to make his voice reach
all within mile or two of the ring.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons has now worked his
way up to the top, and is now cham
pion of the world. He is now ready
at any time and place to defend mis-
title against any man in the worl.l. :"

he had been carried to his corner be-
fore he regained consciousness He was
not disposed to talk much He is no
talker at any time, and would have had
little to say if he had Won "He got me
good and hard and that was all there
was to it, he said. 81 heard the ref
cree counting and heard the men in my
corner calling me to rise, but 1 could
not rise. When L knew anything at all
l was in my corner and they were rub
bling my face with water
Fitzsimmons was very modest, con-
sidering the brilliant victory he had
wen. Il could have put him out
THE FIRST PUNCH"
he said, "but did not reach him hard
enough. There never was a minute
since the match was made that L have
anticipated any other result than this.
l was sure of him at all stages of the
game. He was afraid the minute he
put UP his hands, and 1 knew it, It
was just like the first fight had with
him in New Orleans. I could have lick
ed him there long before had I tried,
and yet people are saying to this day
that he had me nearly out. 1 just got
In on him with my right and caught
him squarely on the side of the jaw. I
knew 1t was all over when 1 landed on
him; it was dead easy from the start"

come up to the railway station, Ernest
Rector, the kaleidoscope man, came to
him with proposition to fight Maher

NO MICROSCOPES.
81 don't care about fighting before
the kinetoscope,"",, said, Fitzsimmons.
Every time they want me to do that
they want to give the other fellow all
the money, and L want some of it. 1
will fight Maher again, of course, if
the money is put up, but I don't fight
before that machine unless get $4,000
