lUlvao, Ctampkaa cf the World. Coufidcuce is always one of the essentials sun-ess. iu no uue of t-ndeavor is it more necessary than in pugilism. A tighter must have coutHteuce 111s ow roWess, for if he Ooes not his backers will have 110 uuundeuce in bim, and a la rite iiart of the clement of succea ia in c.iii-ijueiicc missing. When I tar 1 hope to be the victor In mv coining iwttle witn Wr.

Corbett at New trleaus it is not due to bravado, but to a kuowledge of lowers and confidence iu my strength. I have never made bile Uast for the sake of boasting, aud thse who know me best know that iny iutetitious are at least always honest. So. when I say 1 expect to best Mr. Cor-i.

it. 1 ni.au 1 will 00 ail in my power to briug alxmt this result. 1 should be underestimating my opponent if 1 were to say that the task of whipping him will le an easy one. lie is. far r.s I can learn, a shifty fellow, strong and scientific, and very Itaaic.

Hi friends who have the courage of their cpinions those who have bet ou h.ui are entitled to the re-sis-A-t due nil game men. If tbev do not win their niouev they ill have tue happy thotiKut that their admiration waa iot whollv "inotithv." I do not believe In the habit some pugilists have of belittling tue character and caiKM-liv of Ihe men against whom thev are pitted. Mow and scieie. not words nud bluff, count In tbe prise ring. The only pugilist 1 ever took occasion to criticise was Charles Mitch 11.

Mitchell is a despicable character, and beneath the notice of all honest nieu. I think 1 have expressed mvself in terms so hard in the past his character that reia-ti-tiou is unnecessary. Courage and honesty are as klghlv valued in the priae ring as in other walks of life. M.tchell posx-nses neither of these requisites tnsnhood. I wish to say on the eve the coming battle thst I will never fight another finish fight.

I said the hist time I fought that that fii-'bt was my last, and I only consented to train for the present contest at the earnest solicitation of friends.

New Orleans woidd have been defeated and the credit is due "Count Campau" for scorlLg the rua that tied the score. Such base running has prolmbly never been seer, on the home grounds. With a bunt in ftcnt of the plate, he gained first base, stole second and third, and with a very poor kacriTlce came home. The other feature of the game was rutuilx? catch of Scrius from a hard hit bail of Clark's. Outside of this tbe ttame was a pitcher's battle, with tne Montgomery man a little tne best- The fo.

Referring to the school books of youth 1 read arain that to be sncces-ifrj one must ambitiixis. and with th.s view ia mind I challenged Mr. Sullivan.

Aa booh ss the fight was over tele gram was real frm the centre cf the ring which for a time created a rinple of excitement.

The t.ierrarn was to the effect that "Charley- Mitchell, England, offered to fight the winner of the Sullivan-Corbett flgtit with'n six weeks. The stii'U- latlon was that the flht was to be lo a finish flo.i a side anl the larst purse, and to tie fought either la Eng land or America, give take $pi for exienes. No sooner had the crowd heard the challenge read than there burst out cries of "Uiuff, bluff-" from all sides, and one Sullivan enthusiast cried out. "Brine him over to-morrow; th big fell will whip him after he finishes Corbett." Cries of "Dlxoa can whip him in a round" were also heurd, and tor a few moiue'lts ImuOeiiiOtil lul aeemel to have broken loose.

itjsm the he-ls of tho second sri-nounceineut came n. from Keferee Ihiffy that Jimmy Carroll would find backing for i to meet Cixon at his earliest convenience. Challenges came nidck anl fast after this, but after the turmoil had Wen brought to a close Keferee Huly announced that the challenges hid teeu made Without the samni'io of the club, which could U't be made restisilile for an of them. The Mitchell challenge did not r.asioa much excitement ansmg the siortlng element, and tne general opinion was that Mitchell was trying to make the lt i-s-sible use of the irsent xvasion lu order to advertise himself. When the news reached the central port ion of the city John Lv Sullivan w.is sought, but he had retired, and Mr.

John Moran. the manager of the champion, was scn. Moran had not heard of Mitchell's challenge, but he Laughed derisively when he was told of it. "Mitchell is a btg stiff thin more nor less. Sullivan his lecu troubled by his bluffs long enough and chased hitu out of tho country.

This Is the Last Ihrht that Sullivan will ever engage in, and tetiell knows it as well as any man tn the world. He has been the butt for challenges for every pugilist with any sort of a claim to championship form, but will let the whole lot of them fitfht to their heart's content.

The muxcles on his back and overliving bis shoulder blades stand out like liars cf iron. His arms are made of brawi. His chest is deep and simply beautiful to behoil. Jt is toward tiis lower extremities, however, that Corbett seems to f.iil somewhat. His legs aTe well shijied, but not strictlv symmetrical.

While they are sinewy and hard as iron they hardly look to exact proportion to hid chest and shoulders. COBBETTW STOXACfC is one of the best parts of hi firure. He is iM-t a swayback. and his stomach is a mas of sinew as hard g. a board.

Corbett height, as he gave it yesterday, is feet 1 1-2 inches. He has the advantage both in years, la height and in rcaeli of the champion. That he Is trained as line as a hddle Is assured. He is 1n the tiest ptwts hie condition. Mike Donovan wJl Dot aecoad Mm, as repored.
