right, Charley ducked and coming up under Corbett's guard planted a resounding wh in his stomach, The crowd yelled hoarsel and Mitchell, seemingly gathering fidence from this encouragement, W right at Corbett. Tho result was clineh, Corbett pushed the fragile Englist man away from him as it he had heen made | of 80 much cobwebs, But the plucky Briton | came right back and with a leap he ‘put his left glove into Corbett's mouth and nose, drawine o faint suspicion of crimson from his nostrils, First blood for Mitchell. Then there was un ineflective rapid exchange, a clinch, o breakaway and another hug, and the round closed. 7This was Mitchell's round unequivocally, but was the end of his glor, In the opening moments of the second the Enelishmun was at the huge American like a bantam assaults o shanghai, and for a brief space of time Corbett acted as if he felthe had been steered, Kouned the Tiger. Mitchell hit him repeatedly. But sud denly the American elinched his teeth, and, while his vicious httle eyes fairly emitted living sparks, ho swooped down upon Mitehell with all the ferocity and wicked- ness of o devil. He drove him into a corner and felled him with a slash of his_ forearm across the face, As Mitehell attempted to | riso Corbett struck hun, und as he bent over him like o hunery wolf ‘struck at him again and zain, Mitchell dodgin d rolling over the floor to avoid his cowardly it. Al was pandemonium in the flash of an eve and the ring was transfe « into a mob and seconds, bottleholders and principals mingled in the ving. Fogarty finally succecded getting at Mitchell and picking him up in his arms carried him to his corner, while Corbott pulled and struggled with his hand- lers to follow him. Atone time duving this disgraceful scuffie it looked s if the wholo Corbett coutingent was onto Mitchell “inish Caime Quiokly. The third was short and decisive, Thero {e and clinch fol- | Corbett suddaenly hi Mitchell on the nose and sent him sprawling through the ropes, Kelly rushed betweon the men as Mitch rose, Corbotl smashed him in the eye, this time dazing him beyond recovery, 'Ihé Eoglishman was falling forward when Corbatt smashed at him and with a swinging right hit hima_tremendous smash in the nose. That was the end. Miteheil fell forward on his face and n slight spasm of arms aund legs was all that told he was alive, This finully ceased, and he lay siill while Kelly ted him out, as lifciess apparently as deadest man in Evergreen cemetery The finale was not a signal for any great amount of enthusiasm, There was i burst of yells, but that was all, and the next moment the crowd was making pell mell for the open air. Mitcheil was assisted to bis corner, and after a good sponging ana rub- bing, jumped up from his corner aboutas good as ever, Cotbott in the meanwhilo tore around like a cvazy man, buy gathering up his duds was quickly out of the ring and wus gone, und the cyclopean fiasco was at an end, SANDY GRISWOLD, 10w, Those who have given any particular attention 1o the study of botanical oddities know that the Brazilian flower known as the “‘running antelope” is so called because its white petals have a series of well defined, dark colored lines and dots in which the imagination can readily trace the form of an antelope with 1ts limbs outstretched and head thrown back, scemingly fleeing for its life. In the ‘‘earicature plant” one *kpecies has the imitative form on the petals, and another has it outlined in the ribs and shading of the leaves. This last mentioned curicsity bear vemarkably well executed likengss of the duke of Wellington, and has on that account been named “Avthur and His “Nose.” Among the orchids the imita- tive form is entively dit nt in char- acter, being exhibited in the shape of the flower itself. Some arve exact counterfoits of bees, butterflies, moths, ete., while others take upon® themselves thé form of worms and beetles. Natural- ists believe that in the first instance it is nature’s trap to lure other bees, moths woa butveriios, but in tho se of the worm and beetle ovehids, or those that are exact counterparts of toads, lizards and huge spiders they do not attempt to explain. ——— Juiln Warda Howas Wanted to Yell, Ono can scarcely imagine Mrs, Julia Ward Howe giving a college society yell, vet the Boston Traveller says that on a racent oceasion she had a desire to, do it and, at least, knows how it should be done.

CORBETT STARTS OUT CHEE e Goes to Jacksonville in a Jolly Mood with n Big Party. When James J, Corbett at 7 yesterday morning awoke and otu of tho window of his at Mayport upon the day of battle the rain was coming down in sheets, Evor: thing had long since beon prepared for his leavo-taking. Tho trunks had all been packed on Tnesday and every provision made for an emergency flight to the woods. Corbott himself had little hopo of contesting the vattle in Jack- sonville, If there was any one point of which the champion was apprehensive 1t s tho scheme to fight in tho woods. He anuounced hamself as ready to fight in a skiff vt was seb on fights ing in tho ¢lub and as close to the rules is it was possible to get. When Brady telephoned in the mformation that the njunction huad been granted and that Jacksonville was the scene of battle, Corbett evinced ail the Joyousness of a small boy over a now pait of red top boots. Two cartmen began this morniug moving the twenty-eight trunks, the gymnasium bags and punching bags, from the cottage to the litte platform of the Jacksonville, Mayport & Pablo road half a mile away. “Hurry up, Ollie,” urged the champion addressing bis wife; “wo want to get to the ring and get through with tho argument as %001 48 wo can, 1t won't do to be too late on un occasion of this sort.”’ Mus. Corboty and Miss Howard hurried up the breakfast and then the pugilist got away with a healthy meal mado up of steak, eggs, toast, tea and all was ready for the start, It was 0:20 o'clock when the special moved on to Jacksonville, Given an Ovation, Down at the Ferry landing at Maynort a large crowd gathered to speed the parting guests on the way with cheers and kind It was a motley gathering of peo- ple of both sexes and both colors. When finally the champion ina closo fitting busi- ness suit appeared at the head of his dele- gation, lapped on one side by Billy Brady and on the other by big Billy Delaney, and followed by Creedon, Tra Porter Ashe and o host of tired-out news paper correspondents, there was a loud cheer from the assemblaze at the station, o compliment which Corbett gr: ¢ ac- kuowledged with a nodof his head. There was happiness oyer hi train moved slowly away the disapp crowd in the distance enthusiastically waved their handkerchiefs.and hats and gave rousing cheers for the sake of ism.

Ward, John Donaldson, Dan Creedon, Tom Tracy, George Like, s father-in-law, Kid' Bzan and a re- porter of the Associated press. Orders had been givon by Braty vhat the vwenty-two mile run should be made at a rate of speed not exceeding fifteen miles an hour. It is tortuous as a serpent in route and full of sharp curves and Corbett’s manager de- cided to take no chunces Should Mitchell endeavor to force nny sharp practices the four dogs, “Eddie Foy and the collies were also aboard. The Irish sotter “Billy,” who has coveced many a mile alongside of the champion in his long'sprint wus presented to John Montgomery W and 15 to become a member of the” Tyndall team. At the landing here there was waiting to wecome him a veception committee made up of sports, gentlemen, razamuflins and picka- ninnies. ' Across the river at South Juck- sonville a self-appomted escort of enthusi- astic people had puy the champion aboard the ferry. When the boat landed on this side of the river Corbett and his retainers walked with a quick pace to the carriages in waiting and then they were driven post- haste to the St. James hotel, running the guantlet of hundreds of eyes as they made their way to their rooms. Once in the rooms only the most intimate fricuds of tho champion were allowed to enter, and Cor- bett caretully made preparations for his trip to the ringside.

A few remaived in the city, a wumber of them going to sco the fight. They were stiil angry at the treatment which they were subjected to, and many express their sorvow that thoy were not given an opporuu- nity of getting even with the people who Linsulted them. A number of promineny Jacksonvillo people were at the camp Weanes- v, and an informal roception was held A fow speeches were made by the citizens, assurfng the visitors that only hoodlums responsible for the hissing of Tuesday night and although the troops claim that thoy did not help matters any, a kindlier feoling resulted. ‘The Jacksonville company attempted to give the visiting militia a wood send-off when they were dismissed, but owing to the fact that fow were ablo to appear the affaiv was rather of a failuve, Those who did show up did_ their best and the visitors doubtless appreciated it.

How the Mon Trained. Corbott's training was done at Mayport, a small fishing station unknown to the world at large until the aavent of the pugilist ana his party and situated about twenty miles from Jucksonville 1 seven from Pablo beach, the summer resort of Floridans. The hamlet of Mayport is buv a straggling one, possossed of few, if any, nutural attractions, but a spot well jitted for the purpose of a pugilist’s trainine, The Atlantic stretches out'its broad bosom to the eastward, leaving a broad and unbroicen beach of firm white sand and the wide river of St, Johns courses Past 1t to the west. OF the few cottages of which the hamlet can boast the Corbett party secured four, and under their roofs, and on the broad firm beach, the champion tool his daily practice at boxing, wrestling and running. With Corbett have been Billy Delaney, his trainer, the same who made him fit to whip Sullivan; John McVey, the wréstler, and Dan Creedon, the Australian spirant’ for Fitzsimmons’ scalp; Dan T W. A. Brady, Corbett’s manager, and id” Egan, private secretary to the pugilist. Corbett has trained hard and faithfully ever since hearrvived in Florida, Mitchell was in one sense more fortunate than his oppouent in the sclection of tramn- ing quarters, for the place he spicked out is far from Jacksonville and consequently Mitchell has been subjected to fewer inter- ruptions from visitors. His quarters were located on Anastasia island, » Jacksovville, Tampa & Key West railroad, nd with him have been Billy Thowpson, his manager; Jim Hall, Tom Alicn, ex-cham- pion of Eugiand, Bat Masters nd Steve Brodie. Mi ining has been prac ) s that followed by other fightérs preparing for an encoun- ter, but in all of his tramming he has been singularly methodical and painstaking and has evidénced an mtensity of purpose which marked his caveer. flis time has been divided between punching the bag, boxing with Jim Halland long runs on the beach Barring the sprainiog of a muscle in his nkle, Mitchell has been free from troubles during bis weeks of prepavation and was in excellent trim for the fray wilemhe arvived in Jacksonville from Aunastasia island.
