THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: }WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 1392 was like all good natured multitudes that ither hare, as it was different in one re- spect. Ordinarily there is not a black face to be seen inside the arena. There was & cloud of them tonight in the gallery. One of the stars tonight was a black man, and the tlub, acdording to a natural desire on the part of tha colored element to witnoss the sneagement, set aside a space for them. The colored brother did not come in large numn- bers, but ho took a deep fnterest in what went on, and he felt a pardonable pride in the representative of the race. Chiet of Police Gaster sent a squad of policemen to keep the black contingent in order, but he dia not have much to trouble himself with, for the crowd was as orderly as an audience n church, Tonight the same excellent police discipline was preserved as herctofore, and the crowd was hundled with greatestof oase. Thev mon woighed early in the dav. At 3 o'clock todny Lhe carriages ywere sont to tho quarters of the men and the fighters and thelr trainers were brought down to the elub. The went Immediately into a room of the club, whero a nicely balanced pmr of scalos stood waiting for the men. Tt was a happy meeting; whito and black shook hands and both chatted plensantly, while the best of fecling seemed to prevail between tho rival backers ana the more important trainers. What They Welghed. Dixon balanced the scales at 118 pounds, Ho was just at weight, Thon Skelly took his place. Ho was under the limit, weigh- tng but 11614, %o that when he entered the ring he was bafdly any heavier than his opponont, if, indeed, ho was as heavy. ‘The crowd tonight was smaller in point of size than last night, but it was nevertheless #n immense gathering, large enough 10 pay the purse and yet leave the club a balance on its ledger as a result of the investment. The two men reuched the club building an nour bafore hostilities were ready to bogin. Dixon cume first, and, with his helpors at his heels, he was taken 1nto his room, und there he underwent the usual preliminary prepara- tion for the fight. Jack McAuliffe, the hero of last night's battle, chaparoned the Skelly party. Both men were confident as thev waited for ealls summoning them to battle. [n the meantime the audience, which had already assombled, became impatient. Some timo elapsed, however, before tho littlo gladiators muue their appearance, and tho audience had plenty of time to grow anxious befope the first fighter appeared. Getting Into the Ring. Vice President Sporl_led the little fighters into the ring at 9:05. He was closely [ lowed by Dixon, who was first in his corner. The litile colored champion was followed by Tom O'Rourke, James Doughorty, J. J. Kelly and Jack Havlin, who ucted 'as’ bis soconds. - A. J. Bradley was announced as bottle holder. Young Skelly came a short while after and received a tromendous ovation. The Brouk- lvn amatear was soconded by Jimmy Corroll, Joe Choynski and John Robinson, with Johnne Griffin as timekeover, Skelly was tho first to mako friendly overtures, and go- ing to bis opponent, gave him o hearty shake of tho hand. A generai parloy was held i the center of the ring, duriug which the referes gave his instructions to tho fighters ana their seconds. The gloves were quickly adjusted and Captain William Barrett, who was In command, anpounced to the press men that back-heeling and the pivot blow would be barred in the contest. Everything being in readiness, Joo Clioynski,shaking his principal opponent’s hand, the men crossed to the center of the ring, where a handshake at 9:15 commenced the battle. Skelly Was Hungry for Fighting. First Round — Cnutious sparring: Skelly looks an inch taller tun hisadversary. Both men leading for the hosd and came ton clinch, Skelly wanting to be the agsressor. Pretty sparrinz was indulged in, while tho Brooklyn boy bicked away from a vicious left-hander. and landed a hoavy right- hunder on_ his opponent’s neck, und followed itup elose. Dixou was cautions, and puta stralght lefton his ovponent’s hend without return. Dixon was forced to his corner, where he elinched to uvoid punishument. A8 tho gong wounded both men led without much damage to either, and they were sent from a clinch to their seits. Second Round—Tne men boxed cautiously an opening, Skelly still the aggressor. Dixon attempted to land right and ‘eft and missing recoived a punch in the stomach with A right. The colored Loy landed agood left- hund swing on his opponent’s broast, but re- ceived u stinzing rizht on the ear. A moment later Dixon was the aggressor and he Innded two heavy lefts on the face. Hisopponent elinehed bim und delivered a ieavy punch on tho colored _boy's heart. The fighting wus fast wnd furious and - Dixon uppeared 1o bo getting the better of the oxchun-es. As the men went to their corners Skelly did not look 80 well. Gotting His Fill of the Work. Third Round—Skelly was the ageressor, aud stepping In received u heavy left which floored him.

He will have reached- the thirty-fourth milestone on the 15th day of October, having been born on that date in the year 1858, The champion came from 10od old common Irish stock, his parents having como from County Kerry, lreland, and located at tbe Highlands near Boston. Until ho was 15 Sullivan was an attendant 1 of the common schools, when his father put him to work on the stone work 1n sewer building, Sullivan poro being & contractor in this line, John evinced an early prediliction for sport. While te liked base ball, boxing most won his fanoy, and ata very early period he won an enviable name for his cloverness ana tre- mendous punching capacity. He was always on band whenever strength and skill were the powers of attraction, and was a frequeut participant in the severest trials of stamina and endurance. As an off-hand rough and tumble braiser he had but few equals, and with him the drop of the hut was the only necessary signal for actual hostili- ties. Bringing Sally to the Front. When not more than 18 the knowinz ones predicted for him a lurid futuro, and he com- manded ualimited respect both within and without his own immoaiatoscopo ot acquain- tanceship. Somo time 1n 1879 John McCor- mick, more famillarly known 1o sporting readers as “Mucon,” ran across John and = 4 _ JONN L. SULLIVAX, recognized {n him the material for a big sur- prise purty and began making {mmediate proparations for putiing the public on. To this end John was engaged 10 BCCOMPADY MeCormick to Cincinnatiaud meet Prof. John Donaldson in an_exhibition four-round bout. In those days Donaldson was one of the in- vincibles. Finally all arrangements were effected and the two met in the Queen City, the big professor receiving a signal defeat. He was hard to convince of this truth, however, claiming that he was nou in form, so he challenzed John to another soiree, tho only changes being that in this nhard gloves, as they were then called, were to bo worn and the contest was to be toa finish. The affair came off according to schedule at Robinson’s opera house, Cinein- nat, on the evening of December 25, 1850, This event 1 witnessed, and it was'a very jug-handled affair, the professor being thumped out in ten rounds. Atonce Sulli- van’s fame was heralded tbroughout the length and breadth of the land, and shortly thereafter he met Steve Taylor and then John Flood, both of whom proved pie. allivan's Pet Blows. In aaimal life sleepfuluess or coma is pro- duced by o biow on or about the head. But it was Joho L. who first demonstrated that *'a punch in the jaw” sends a shock t a man’s brain which causes a rattling and juin- bis that, for the time being, or possibly per- wanently, brings abouc lifelessnoss by con- cussion. The Sullivanesque blow may be delivered on the jawbone, whether near the chin, under or behind the ear, or anywhere Dear the base of the brain. And, strange as 1t way appear, the act can be better per- formed with voxing gloves than with the naked kouckles, for the reason that when one lands he can cover a greater surface of vulnerabls space with the comparatively broad expause that the mitten prosents than with the uatural uncovered hand, Before Johu L. opened up his “‘kuocking out iunovation it was seldou that tho put- ting 8 man to sleep was ever heard of. This is douotless due to the fact that in former years Loudon prize ring rules governed most battles. In these wrestling is permitted ana a round is often quickly terminated by the throwiug of one of the contestants beforo there has been any opportunity for standoff, square hitting, as there 1s under the Queens- berry rules, to which Sullivan owes his fame. Sullivan has anotier blow that is ex- tremely aptto briog about coma. It ison the neck orjugular vein. This blow falls on the arteries of the neck and drives the blood up into the brain in such a way as to create & havoo equul 1o the affect of com- munication by way of the aw. Itis more or less a ocase of what the anatomical demoustrators denominate ‘“swamp,” in which the braln Is overpowered by th flood and jar, and drops out of tho pe formance of its natural functions, Still avother blow of John's isin the organie division, forit must land over the heart, In this case tbo force that lands on the body fs carried iuto the thoracic region, and Is instantancously telegrapued to the brain via the spinal column, The result of these three blows, which belong rather exclusively to the big fellow when ho is inside the ropss, is idontical.

Several interfer- ences by polico saved others, notably Frank Herald, Paddy Ryan and Alf Greenfield. While 1 favor Sullivan, and have full faith in his powers to conguer every ob- stacle he may encounter tomorrow evening, Ido not say absolutely that he will. He may meet his Waterloo, but if he does I will be only ono of the great number dis- appointed. Sullivan's Competitor. James J. Corbett, who will endeavor to wrest the title of the world’s champion from Sullivan, was 20 years of age last Thursday. He was born September 1, 1866, and is con- sequently just eight vears the big fellow’s junior. Like the champion, he is of Celtic origin, In his earlier days Jim was a ball player, and at one time was capuble of a pretty stiff article of the game, as he demon- strated on first base in an exhibition game at Sportsmau’s park, Omaba, last summer. Ho was also fond of ruuning, lumping aud box- ing, and became so clever at the latter art that be was induced to compete forthe amateur heavywelght caampionship of the coast, which he won hanas down, so they say. Upon this achievement be becamo the Olympie club’s professor, and whilo thus acting he met Jack Burke, the Irish lad, and although there was no referee it was counceded that he had *way the best of the eight-round yo. He defeated in scientific oxhibitions most of the heavyweizhts of his bailiwick, chief among whom was the re- doudtable Joe Choynski. They mot three times, twico for a limited number of rounds, which were virtuai standoffs, and the last time to o finish, on & barge in the bay of San Franeisco, 1n this Corbettaliowed Choynski the handicap that the latter was to wear two-ounce mitts ana the former five-ounce. The fight lasted twenty-eight rounds, Joe being punched into a stawe of coma at the commencement of the final round. Corbett injured his mauleys before the kibosh was adininisterea, howover, and has been unable to wend them wnolly since. What Jim Hus Done Siaee. This was Corbett’s only big event, and it was a card. It gave bim a bir reputation, ana hoe at once began to spoil for aven bigger game. Finaily he was offered a purse of 2500 to goto New Orleaas and box six rounds with Johany Killian, alias Jake Kil- ramn. He proved too shifty for Sullivan's old ' rival ana came ~ out of the Dout unmarked. Then the inevit- able tour of tho country followed. During this he met Dom Mctaffrey In Brook- lyn in a four-round go, and somewhat easily bested his man, although neither was hurt. His 1ast notable meeting was that with Peter Jackson, the black Antipodean, bofors the California Athletic club. There wero sixty- one rounds of this, but after the thirty-fifth, neithar man stri a blow. It was a walk- around. At the close of the iast round Cor- bett announced that he had injured his wrist, but smd he: I am good for twent:- four hours, and this fellow can’t hit me.” Jackson retaliated: “I have sprained my thumb, but am good for forty-eight hours more of this.,” The result was the announce- ment of a draw by the referee. Jackson has ever since assertod his cheerful willingness to enter into_another engagement, and Corbott has proclaimed a liko desire. Besides the above, Corbett kas the follow- ing in his record: He bested Jimmy Daley in four rounds, Buffalo Costello in three, whipped Dunc McDonald in four, Mike Breanan 1n four, William Miller in three and faked a draw with Dave Campvell under Jack Prince and Senator Morgan's manage- mont in the Pavilion at Portland, Ore. Jim's ¥allure with Lannon, It 1s_true, howaver, that Jim has never suffered tho sting of aefeat. He is gamoe and superlatively clever: probably baing tha shiftiest and nimblest mau of his welght in tho ring today. His defense 1s good, but his Litung power but ordinary, that is, has been, up to the present time, Whother ho has improved in this respect or not I'll tell you after the big buttle Lomorrow uight, Last February, in New York, Corbett ap- peared at Madison Square garden as the premier knooker-out, The eveat of the night's card was the three-round wind up between Apolio Jim and stale old Joe Lan- non. The latter responded to a pressing in-* vitation to appear as the Californian’s ad- versary. He was assured that the bout was to be of the friendly oraer, and never maae an hour’s vreparation, Corbett was n the finest tiut of form, as he aiways is, weighing nearly 225 pounds, but despite these facts Lannon held bis grcund admira- bly, ehecking every one of Corbett's atiemprs o land o knock-out, He had but httle aiffi culty In stupping or warding off ai of Jim's famous right swings, ana in roturn zave him many a soul-seacher in the body and on the conk. Corbett became infuriated at bis futile endeavors to make a show of ‘Loannon, and the huge crowa guyed him mercilessly. Joe got outo the vaunted hero of the slope after a fasbion that fairly took the breatn of his old- time friends, who were equally astonished at Corbot's bad judgment of distance and his repeatea miscaloulations were greeted with laughter and jeers. A more rattied champion was never seen in an exhibition. His failure to do as he liked with old Joo seemed to deprive him of all his refined skill and enormous nowors, Should Corbett win tomorrow 1t will only prove that a lot of people nave been misled.

The Corbett men claim that in s previous fights Sullivan has worn his teanks high and that baueath he had worn a bandage to pro- tect his stomach. Phil Casey suvs fighters frequentiv wear a fine ~pitch plaster over the abdomen to stay them duriag the contest. He thinks MeAvliffe did it _last night and he knows of no reason why Sulli- van shoald not do the same, However, Casey dia not indicate what response would be made to the demand of the Corbett people in this case. Sullivan, when questioned, pos- itively refused to discuss the subject. Jim Corbett took thaugs comparatively easy aftor his long journey. He took his regular exerciso this moraing, and after vest- ing for several hours, about 4 o'clock in the afterncon Le went to the rooms of tho Southern Athletic club and practiced for thirty mivutes throwiug the ball, fighting the bag, wrestling and running.

Thurston on the Parties - Letter from Judge Crou The state campaign was enthusiastically started last eveniug by a big raly at the Farnam street theater under the manage- ment of the Afro-American Civil Rights club. The colorad race 1s nothing if ot en- thusiastio-—-whether in a campaign rally or a campmoeting, and the rousing meeting last night was no exception to the rule. Tho opera house was woll nlled by an audience in which the colored people were in the majority, and the applause that ereotedithe annunciation of good revublican doctrines was frequent and heartfelt. A uumbver of the candidates on tho stato ticket were present, including Tom Majors, George H. Hastings, Bugene Moore, J. C. Ailen and A. K. Goudy. Among others who occupied seats on the platform were T. K. Sudvor- ough,» D. H. Mercer, B. H. Robison, Colo- nel A. A. Jones, Jonn C. Thompson, A. Z. Bowen, A. . Woite, Dr. M. O. Ricketts, F. L. Baruett ana Howard Watson. The Omaha Coutral band rendered a num- ber of selections in a nighly creditable man- ner, after which Mr, . L. Barnott called tho meeting Jg ordor and introduced Colonel A. A. Jones of North Carolina. The colonel proved to be a typical specimen of he col- ored orator and his speech was a taking mix- tura of humor and eloguence, What He Expected und What He Found, The speaker said that from the stories told by ‘“‘ealamity howlers” he had come to Ne- bruska expeoting to sce a poverty stricken state, where Dboggars and paupers lined every street and block and corner, but in- instead he saw a brosperous and happy commonywealth where every blade of grass was a standing argument for repuvlisan principles, The calawity howlers were living on the fat of the land while they were defaming the fair nume of the state. fertilo praivies of Nobraska and uuder re- publican rule the state had ichieved a re- | markable prosperity. At tho meuntion of Lincoln’s name tho cheering was long and loud, and then negro to remain loval to the party that had removed nis fetters and made him a man. Ho gave vent to a withering robuke to cditor of the Afro-American Sentinel for de- serting the repudlican causo and his exor- dium was checred at every sentence. While ne was speaking Jonn M. Tourston appeared upon the platform and was w comed by a voliey of applause which con- tinued for several minutes. Colonel Jones presented him to the audienceas “Nebraska's favorite son,” and he received an ovation as ue stepped forward. Some Redhot Arguments, Mr. Thurston said that he was giad that ke belonged to a party that believed that the American people could accomplish anything they they undertook. Ho should not like to belong to a party that insisted that the American pecple could not manu- facture i -plate and pearl buttons just as well as auy other people. Every time @ republican factory burned and the laborers were thrown out of employment the aemo- | crats thankod God that the republicans had received a blow. Every time a cyclone ren- dered desolate and homeless a section of the wester prairie the democrats and indepenc- cnts thanked God that that section of the country might go democratic, But notwith- standing this there were more happy homes, moro cradles rocked to the sweet music of joy and contentment in America than in any country on the face of tho earth. Mr. Thurston said that it was reported some time ago that he had joined the inde- pendent party There was ons roason why this was false. Ho had children growing up whom he did not wish to think 1n the years | fuilure | to come that ho had been & political in 1892, Where was there & leader in the independent paurty who had not proved a failure as @ leaaer in some other party?! He wishod to follow the leadership of a man ‘who had succeeded. For the past thirty years under the gov- ernment of republicanism the United States had led the van of civilization and progress throughout the whole world. The republi- can party was tho first to stand vy the prin- | ciple thatevery man had the right to work when he pleased and to receive s fair com- pensation for his labor. The speaker devoted some time to the ad- vocacy of the force bill. He sad that it was better that the fires shoula be extinguished in overy manufactory, that every forge should cease to glow sud thut avery smoke- stack should stand dismantlod and aban- doned, & monumontto the entorprise that had béen, than any man should lose one jot of his public or vrivate rights. Mr. Thurston sat down amidst a storm of applause, while the band played a medloy of patriotic airs. Then Dr. Ricketts was intro- ducea and gave a number of very pertinent reasons why the negro should be a repub- lican. He said that the true scientist did not go to a zoological garden to study the habits of a tiger, but visited him iu his native jungle, and tostudy democracy it was necessary Lo go south of Mason and Dixon's line. Ho concluded by exborting the repub- lican party to keep its pledges to the nsgro aad see that Lhe southern negro was as fres We sell Hats, and sell them cheaper than hat stores.

Henard from the Candida Mr. Majors was presented to the audienco and excused himself from an extended ad- dress on account of the lateness of the hour. He had come to the territory of Nebraska when there wore less than 20,000 souls within its boundaries and had seen it develop into one of the greatest commonwealths in the United States. There was not @ city in the country where the colored people had more homes in their own name than in Omaha. He declared that he was going to be elected this vear by three times the 5,000 major- ity by which ho was elected tLwo years ago, because this time the colored men vere all with him, If the state was carried on a calamity platform the mouey which was carrying on the vast enterprises of Nebraska aud infusing life and energy would be with- drawn.

High authorities hold that Antony was crafty rather tban impulsive, and in that dogree Mr, Downing comes nearer tho - bard’s conception than somo interpreters of the churacter. His grasp of the role is studied rather than wtuitive, and his con- sciousness is not conquered, but his work hasa robustness repressed that arrests at- tention. Mr. Marck Price presents a scholurly in- terpretation of Brutus, which he plays with arcistic finish. His articulation is perfect, his inflections and his action self-contained as becamo the nobiest of the Romans, and his work was au enjoyable piece of acting. Mr. F. C.
