Wes the Big Fellow Landanumed or is He gimply Played Out? THE BONCH SHOW'S SUPERB PROSPECTS A Hantlg [dyl-At the Trap and in the Chatty Cyele News — The rers Melange and taey Gossip. 1 bave been numerously requested within the past week to review 1o the columus of Thne Ber the great batilo of ten days ago be- tween John L. Sullivan and Jim J. Corbett, and in reply to all these frienaly overtures I would say that 1 reviewed the fight by tele graph on the nightof its occurrence. But little remains to be said, for, as one avle authority proclaims, it is Sullivan’s defeat and not Corbatt’s victory that interests mill- 1ons of American citizens. Corbett did in one briet hour what he will pot be abie to ando in @ hundred years. It wasa great re- sponsibility he assumed. indeed, when hoe beat to earth and literally annibilated 1he 1dol of the sporting world—an achievement, oo, that was considered no less impossivle than damming the majestic Niagara with a loaf of giugerbread. He has created a void in the breasts of millions and millions of loyal subjects that the whole Corbett race will not be able to fill for generations to come. Itave read many exhaustive screeds by well known sporting writers since the big battle embodying the whys and wherefores of the big fellow’s downfall. Their theories are"many and varied, and in some instances grotesque. Malice and revenge,superinduced by a vigorous collision with the pool-box, and the natural inborn prejudice of man have been the motive power that propelled not a few of these analytical pencils. What has required columns of valuable space in alleged exegosis can be fully stated in a paragraph. Sullivan was defeated, not from a lack of or from ill-advised trainiog, but simply for the reason that he was overwoelmingly out, classed. Jonn L. has outfought, outdrnnk and outlived bimself years since. The night be entered that fatal roped inciosure in the middle of the Olympic's vast amphitheater, he was within & month of being thirty-four voars of age, but he looked forty-nve, if he fooked a day. The grizled close-cropped hair about the temples, the deep furrows radiat- g from the cornérs of his eyes, and the general careworn,indolent air that enveloped him shoula have been a sufficient augury as to_the way the buttle was Zoiog Not once 1n all those twenty-one fierce and bloody rounds aid he give evidence that he had ever been even atolerablo fighter,letalone the fistic wonder we all thought him. All of the essentials that are supposed to enter 1nto the composition of a successful pugilist were wofully absent, save one—that of brute stoicism und endurance. It was a fascivating, yet horrible, spectacle tosce this magnificent Colossus standing there in the center of that roped inclosure, like Ajax detying the lightning, aud being steadily and systematically hammered into & gory and inanimate hulk. And whava scene was there when, at last, he folll The maddenea shouts of the vastcrowd sud- feuly hushed, and tor a momentary interval there was not a stir, not breath. The pverthrow of the giant had appalled the world. 8o dead the silence the Runic ferter of Glejpmr might huve been woven fromjit There seemed ns 1f a weird influence had settied upon the piace,and a frowning borror crouched within that small arena. A troop of phantoms conld not bave more startled those crowds. They bhad reached a stage of paralysis. Such was the fall of Jobn L. Sullivan. "“Acrd Jim - Corbett was the man who rought allthis work. Lucky Jim Corbett! What he did 8 hundred and oue otber fight- ers could heve dome. Dogged perseverance und & willingness to_chop, chop, chop away until the monarch tottered and fell, was all that was necessary. There was no danger of retalistion from the victim. There was 00 power within his massive frame to justify fear. He was merely en offerimg on a sacri- ficial altar. He was not the John L. Sulii- van of old, not the Jon® L. Suliivan I knew eight orten years a0, but a sort of an autora- ton in his sseming. Honestly,it is my irm be fief that Jack Davis, yea, cven Mike Boden, coutd have whipped the coupterfeit present- ment of the big fellow who fell before Jim Corbett that night. 1 have been asked frequently, also, whether I thought John L. could bave whipped Cor- beit when at his Dest, say seven or eizht yeurs ugo. Well, that is ahard question to wuswer, Sullivan was a ferocious oemon 1n the ring in those times, aud mo mau dared samper with bim. But ' Corbett is an inno- vution, a revelation in pugilistics, and it would ' be difiicalt to compare him with the reul John L. of former t:mes. One thiug, nowever, itissafe to sev, und thatis that the Californian would not have gone smiling tn that sickening way of his througn twenty- oue rounds, or eveu one round, 8gowith John L. and when he em end possibly much of his beauty would have boen marred. He wouldn't bavs been treat- Ing with the indifferent, languid, impotent old man he meta week ago \Weanesday night. As to the rumors of ufake. They are groundiess, but there is a_story ourrent now that looks 8t least plausible, and worthy of the ciosest aud most rigid investigation. P J. Donabue, of the New York liecorder, savs in Thursday's paper “The opinions of the best friends of John L. Sullivan are tuat the defeat of the big feliow was the result of @ *job,” and that be was “stiffened”’ before he entered the ring, They do vot hesitate to mssert that the big mun frow Boston was poisoned, and s0me even go 80 far 4s to lnsinuate ttal wen who should be closest Lo the ex-champion Were cogaizant of 1he fact thut he was to be given the “Ligh Jow.” Since tne defeat of the strong bov his frionas buve argued that Lo could not have made 50 poor & showiug it he was right, and they bave gone to work systematically to prove the truth, ot their assertions. Tney uve taken up the thresd of circumstantial evidence and worked on it with care, and now they heliove they bave matters i 'such & shape nat Sullivan’s greatness will bo mado ayparent, sud the fact that be was not defeated on the level made palpable. They bave no doubt he wus done wroog by, and say s0 without any besitancy. Sultivan passed s bad night Mondayv. He was 10 bed in the rooms ocenpied by bis de- voted sister Annie ang her husband, James Leanou. ‘The big fellow was all out of shupe, and 1wo doctors were in attendance, Dr. Greer of Lexington avenue and Forty third screet took the stitches out of the former chumpiow’s nose, and then the con- queror of hundreds fell Taint.

He told me his winnings between New Orleans and _Carhondale, where I chaneed cars for St. Louis, footed up exactly $2,300. Several Omaba sports went up aguinst the ivories to their sorrow. Taere was no such thing as sleep on buard the Pullmans—the orowd of sports, broke and otherwise, beld a veritable saturnalia the live-long night with tneir stories, jokes and song. Singing seemed to be the ruling divertise- ment and everything went to the air of ta-ra- ra-boom-tu-ra.” The man who couldn’t im- provise and sing a verse in his regular turn was voted no wood, and it was only via Fallon's booze fouodry they found surcease from annoyance and sorrow. “Tt1s your turn, lieuteuant, give usa verse or treat!” yelled o score or more hilar- fous sports as the berth holding one of Uncle Sam's titled minious was reached. Tho licutenant would rather have taken the whole crowd forward, but some one said they use to know him when he was' with Tony Pastor. and that setiled it, he had to sing or get off the train. So mouuting his seat, 10 tho accompaniment of mouth organ in the hauds of Louis Houseman, of the Chi- cago Inter Ocean, he warbled: Jack MeAuliffe he hus won Dixon soon hud Skelly done, Corbett he's o son-of-a-zun, All the dewd gume 1ost thoir mon, Everybody joined in the chorus, *‘tu-ra-ta ra-boom-ta-ray,” until the farmers along the route (pronounced rout on this occasion) ran outinto their yards endeshunille to see whnat it was tearing 50 clamorously tbrough the country.

Onana, Sept. 16.—To the Sporting Editor of Tur BEE: About thistimeof the year everyons who can starts on his annual hunticg and fishing trip. 1remember that it was about the middle of September last when I left Omaha bound for the Rockies on my first expedition of that kind. Until reaching Deuver 1 was guite unaecided where to go, but having heard so much of the beauties of the Middle Park in Grand county, Colorado, I decided to journey to that great haunt of the deer. elk and bear. Leaving Georgetown one bright morn- ing 1 traveled by stagoe for wiles up the steep, rocky slopes of the [Krout rauge, across Berthoua pass, 11,500 above the sea,aud down & winding trail through ereat forests of pine, spruce and fir tre The leaves of the quakenasp were turning from greea to goldeu, and mingliog us they did with the heavy evergreens on the siopes made a sight which, for beauty, wiil long be rememberad. It was late in the evening when the stage rollea into the hitcle villuge on the shores of Grand lu Tho lake is a pzautiful sheet of water, clear, cold and deep, abounding 1n trout, which are easily caught with an or- dinary aogler’s fly. Tbis sheet of water, nestliug as it does far up in the mountains, entirely surrounded by peaks on which the snow lies the greater purt of the year, with tall ever- groens growing ou every available inch of ground, wakes not only one of the pretti- est of meuntain iakes, but a splendid place to spend a few weoks of the summer. -Just as Lhe sunlight was Upping the moun- tain peaks one morniug, & friend and myself accompunied by Ute Bill, 8 famous scout and guide in the purk country, started on a short bunt. We decided to go to Carlton lake, some four milcs to the west, where, accord- ing to the guide's statement, game could uearly always be found. Cautiously approaching the bluffs which bemmed in the small body of water, we peered over and there on the brivk stood eleven deer. We agroed 0 fire togetber and lylog down took aim. At a word from our guide we fired and then wild with excitement 1 pumped the lever of my Winchester for ail I was worth. My com. panfons, seeing my excitement, had refrained from firing after the first volley. Looking at them when my rifle was empty I found them convulsed with lsughter. Down at the water's edge lay five aeer, dead. My et wild shots had kiliea two, while at our first round each had brought dowr one. Not such n bad two nours’ werk after all, That was my first aud only case of “puck fover.” Middlo purk was formerly the reservation of the Ute ludians aud quito u battle was fought at Girand lake between the Utes and Arapahoes somo years ago. During the fight the Utes placed their women and chil- dren in canoes wnd turned thew adrift in the lake in order 10 keep them out of danger. In somo way their euemies manuged Lo got at the BOUCOMbAL- ants and drowned the er.tire party. ‘be Utes did vot discover their loss until the battle was over, belleving that tne treacherous waters had risen at tho bidaing of the Arapaboe medicive men sod swal- lowed their people. They therefore called the lake Monaduock, weaning mysterious walter. 1 lingered on in that mountsin country fishing und bunting until tho lust week in October, Suow hia been falling for nearly two weeks, but that only made tbe buntng better. The day before wy inteuded de. parture a heavy Snow Storm came up whicn astod a week and which made wy chauces of gotting over the range look exceedingly slim.. The weather grew steadily colder, but at last I decided to start. One Monduy morning with nearly three feet of snow on the ground and the thermomeler at zero | climbed into @ slelgh and with Ute Bill as driver and guide staried on my loug rido of sixty iles over the mountains 10 1he nearest railway station. All day long we struggled on through the cold and snow, and at nightfall bad covered only thirty miles. The uext morning snow was sgain falling, but we started, Loping to cross tbe range thatday. As wo ascended the suow becamo oper and the atmwosphere colder. About 4 o'elock we reached tho stage elation on the summit, and efter an hour's rest and a cup of coffee sturted down the eastcru slope. ‘e full woon, shedding ber light on the snow-covered slopes aud cauyons, enabled us 10 travel on in pertect safety.

Nothing could possibly be a better tonic to the overworked denizen of the office than to get out on the broad prairie fora day’s shoot ng over the dogs. Chicken shooting to be sure is tame enough from the standvoint of the man who viows it solely from tho skill reanired of the gunner. Their stralght and heavy flight in the open makes them an easy mark even for the inaifferent. shot. It is not this which brings to the true sportsman his chief aelight.
