M was kept In cheerful frame Of mind
BY the posting OF preliminary bulletins.
When the bulletin went up that Fitz-
simmons had arrived In the ring there
was some applause. but 1t sounded very
faint in comparison with the roar that
went up when the announcement that
''Pompadour Jim" was on hand was
made.
When the fighting actually commenced
every point was followed with the
closest attention, and the crowd could
not have been more interested IL 1t had
been at the ringside. There was no
trouble to pick the favorite. AS the ear
ler bulletins showed that Corbett was
having things pretty much his own
way, his supporters made the most of it,
shouting themselves hoarse as every
telling blow was chronicled, but after
the sixth round they quieted down very
perceptibly, and when they seemed to
realize that Corbetts blows were not
having the effect looked for, the gloom
increased. The end was not expected
and the audience was taken by surprise.
The man posting the bulletins could
not keep up. and after the sixth round
they were read from the stage. Just
after the twelfth round the announce
ment was made: "Flash-Fitz WINS

At Music hall similar scenes were en-
acted, and as soon as the result was an
nounced the crowd left the building.
The crowds about the bulletin boards
melted away soon after the announce
ment of the result. and in a short time
there was nothing to indicate that any
thing unusual had happened.
During the afternoon rumor gained
circulation that Corbett had died from
the effects of the blow over the heart
which had caused his downfall, and for
a time the telephones in the newspaper
offices were kept ringing by people all
over the city anxious for information,
and number of inquiries were received
from out-of-town points, but this canard
was soon exploded and the final excite
ment was at an end.
Last evening the fight was the general
topic of conversation about the clubs,
hotel Iobbies and other public places.
