FitZ Wins the Fight.

Daily Journal, Wednesday.
The day dawned clear at Carson
thlS morning with the sun peeping
over the mountains at I o'clock. The
thermometer stood about 10 degrees
with a gentle breeze blowing from the
Sn0w-cappeG mountains. The sports
wele in high glee over the prospects
of fine day and the enthusiasm over
the fight rapidly grew until money
was being bet on all sides. Corbett
was the favOrite and the odds were
10 to I. The kineteScOpe, which is to
reproduce the fight, was given an.
other test and worked satisfactorily.
Dan Stuart, the pugilist impressario,
had his hopes staked on the success
of this wonderful machine which is
to reproduce the fight over the entire
world, and be was visibly delighted
at the prospects Of success. The at
tendance at Carson was greatly in
creased by the arrival this morning of
several special trains bearing The
sporting fraternity from New York,
Chicago, st. Louis and other eastern
cities. 1t looked like the attend.
ance would reach the $500 marx,
Billy Delaney, one of COrbett'S
trainers, won the toss-up this morn.
ing and secured the choice of positions.
COrbett fought with his back to the
sun, while Fitz faced the sun.
Before ten o'clock this morning the
crowd at the ringSide had swelled to
an enormous number. The main road
leading from Carson to the arena was
crowded with thousands of sporting
people. John L. Sullivan made his
appearance about 10 o'clock and was
greeted by wild cheering.
At 1890 o'clock, Referee George
Siler, sporting editor of the Chicago
Tribune, walked into the ring and
announced that the fight would not
begin until 1870 or II o'clock. The
crowd was good nat1red but greatly
excited. Betting ran high, two and
three thousand dollars being wagered
in one or two instances at the prevail.
ing Odds.
At ll:55 o'clock FitzSimmons en-
tered the ring clothed in a japanese
bath robe. He was greeted with wild
cheering. Half minute later Cor.
bett appeared and was greeted with
louder cheering than FitzsimmOns.
AT seven minutes past II o'clock the
referee called time. FitzsimmOns
stepped to the center of the ring, but
refused TO shake hands with the
champion. The first round was an
even brelk. Corbett had a little the
best of the fight up to and including
the fifth round, when he drew first
blood. The fighting instinct Of the
antepOdean was then aroused and he
fought like reused lion. Fitzsim-
mons landed his famous knockout
blow 10 the 14th and the fight was
at an end. Great excitement pre-
vailed.
The rounds were rather slow in
coming in at this place on account of
the wire being cut out at Kansas
City. The seventh round was being
read here when a special bulletin
came bearing the information that
the fight had ended in the fourteenth
round In FitZsimmOns' favor.
