the representative of the rnco. Chiot of

keep the black contingent in order , but ho

Ho was Just nt weight , Then Skelly took
his place. Ho was under the limit , weigh
ing out 11 ( % , no that when ho entered the
ring ho wns hafdly any heavier than his
opponent , if. Indeed , ho was as heavy.
Tbo crowd tonight xvas smaller In point of
ilzo than last night , but it was nevertheless
n immense gathering , largo enough to pay
the purse and yet Icavo the club a balance on
its ledger as a result of the Investment ,
The two mon reached the club building nn

Br.E.J John Lawrence Sullivan , the cham
pion exponent of the manly art of self defense -
fenso of America , if not of tbo universe , is
probably on the declining si Jo of the hill of
life , Judging from tbo pace ho h.is sot slnco
gaining his majority. Ho will hava reached *
the thirty-fourth milestone on the 15Hi day
of October , having bcou born on that ditto
in the year 1858.
The champion came from good old common
Irish stock , his parents having coma from
County Kerry , Ireland , and loujtod nt the
Highlands near Boston. Until ho was 15
Sullivan was an attendant I of tha common
schools , when his fatbor put him to xvork on
tbo stone work in sewer building , Sullivan
pore being a contractor in this lino. John
evinced an oarty proulltction for sport. While
ho lilted base ball , boxing most won hU
fancy , and at a very early period ho won nn
enviable name for his cleverness ana tre
mendous punching capacity. Ho was
always on baud whenever strength nnd skill
were the powers of attraction , and was n
frequent participant in the severest trials of
stamina and endurance. As an nfMiand
rough and tumble bruiser bo had but few
equals , and with him the drop of the but was
the only necessary signal for actual hostili
ties.
UrlngliiB Hully to the Front.
When not moro than 18 the Knowing ones
predicted for him a lurid future , and ho com
manded unlimited respect both within und
without his own Immoalato scope ot acquain
tanceship. Some tlmo in 1879 John McCor-
mlck , moro familiarly known to sporting
readers as "Mucon , " ran across John and
JOHN u aut.MYAX.
t
recognized in him the material for a big sur
prise party and began making immediate
preparations for putting the public on. To
this end John was engaged to accompany
McC'ormlck to Cincinnati and meet Prof. John
Donaldson In on exhibition four-round bout.
In tboso days Donaldson was ono of tbo in-
vlnciblos. Finally all arrangements were
effected and tbo two mot in the Quean City ,
tbo big professor receiving a signal defeat.
Ho was bard to convince of this
truth , however , claiming that ho was not
In form , so ho challenged John to another
soiree , the only changes being that In this
bard gloves , as tbov wore then called , were
to bo worn and the contest wo * to bo to a
flnUh. The affair came oft according to
schedule at Hobinson's opera hnuso , Cincin
nati , on the evening of December 28 , 18SO.
This event I witnessed , and It was n very
Jug-bundled affair , the professor being
thumped out In ton rounds. At once Sulli
van's fame was heralded throughout the
length nnd breadth of tbo land , and shortly
thereafter ho met Steve Taylor and then
John Flood , both of whom proved plo.
Sullivan' * Pot Illmrs.
In animal Ufa sleopfulnoss or coma is pro
duced by a blow on or about the bead. But
It was John L. who first demonstrated that
"a punch In the Jaw" sends a shock to a
man's brain which causes a rattling and Juin-
blo that , for the tlmo being , or possibly per
manently , brings uboiu llfelossnoss by con
cussion. The Sulllvanosquo blow may bo
delivered on the jawbone , whether near the
cbln , under or behind the car , or anywhora
uunr tbo base of tbo brain. And , strange as
U tnay appear , the act can bu better per
formed with boxing gloves than with tbo
naked knuckles , fur tbo reason that when
ono lands ho can cover a greater surface of
vulnerable space with the comparatively
broad expanse that tbo mitten presents than
with the natural uncovered hand.
Before John L. opened up his "knocking
out" innovation it wus seldom that the put
ting u man to sleep was over heard of. This
Is douutlcss duo to the fact that In former
yonrs London prize ring rules governed most
battles. In these wrestling is permitted ana
a round Is often quickly terminated bv the
throwing of ono of the contestants b'oforo
there has been any opportunity tor standoff ,
squnro hitting , ns there is under the Queens-
berry rules , to which Sullivan owes his
fame.
Sullivan ban another blow that is extremely -
tromely apt to bring about coma. It is on
the neck or jugular vein. This blow InlU
on the arteries of the nock and drives the
blood up into the brain In such a way as to
oroato ahavooequul to the iffeot of com
munication by way of the Jaw. It Is uioro
or leas a ease of what the anatomical
demonstrator * douomlnuto ' 'swamp , " in
which the brain Is overpowered by the
Hood und jar , nnd drop out of the per-
fornmnca of its natural functions. Bllll
another blow of John's is in the organic
division , font must land over the heart.
In this case tbo foroo that lunds on tha
body ls carried Into tbo thoracic region , nnd
Is Instantaneously telegraphed to the brain
via the spinal column.

belong rather exclusively to the big follow

After disposing of Flood , Dounldton ,

nine rpunds , lasting nearly tuolyo imnutus.
This made tbo big fellow ehuinpiooi nud as
candidates Jqr phatnpjousnip honors about
that time were scarcer than ungols1 vjsfts , ho
turned his attention to knocking out all
comers in four rpuiids , and forqulto n long
period enjoyed an absolute monopoly ut the

Sullivan's Competitor.
. James J. Corbott , who will endeavor to
wrest the title'of tbo world's champion from
Sullivan , was 20 years of ago lust Thursday.
Ho wus born Sentcmbor 1 , 1800 , and is con
sequently Just eight voars the big fellow's
junior. Llko the champion , ho is of Celtic
origin. In his earlier days Jim wns n ball
player , nnd at one time was capable of n
pretty stiff article of the game , ns ho demon
strated on llrst base in an exhibition gauio ut1
Sportsman's park , Omaha , last summer. Ho
AVUS also fond of running , lumping nnd boxIng -
Ing , and became so clover at the latter art
that ho was induced to compete for tbo
amateur heavyweight championship of
the coast , which ho won bunds down ,
so they say. Upon this achievement
ho became tbo Olympic club's professor , nnd
whllo thus acting ho met Jack Burke , the
Irish lad , and although there was no referee
It xvas conceded that ho hud "way the best of
tha eight-round go. Ho defeated In scientific ;
exhibitions most of tbo heavyweights of his
baillwlclr. cbiof among whom was the ro-
ctoubtubla .Too Choynski. They mot three
times , twice for a limited number of rounds ,
which were virtual standoffs , and the lust
time to n llnisb , on a barge in tba bav of Son
Francisco. In this Corbott ullowed Choynski
the handicap that the latter was to wear
two-ounco mitts and the former tlvc-ounco.
The fight lasted twenty-eight rounds , Joe
being punched Into a sfuo of coma at the
commencement of the flunl round. Corbott
injured bis mauleys before the kibosh was
administered , however'and has been unable
to mend them wnolly since. "
What ,11m Hits Dune Since. ' '
This wns Corbott's only big event , and it
was a card. It pave him a big reputation ,
aud bo at once began to spoil for even bigger
came. Finally bo was offered a puree of
$ j.500 to go to Now Orleans and box six
rounds with Johnny Killian , alias Jake Kll
raln. Ho proved too shifty for Sullivan's
old rival und came out of the
bout unmarked. Then tbo inevit
able tour of the country followed.
During this ho met Dom McCaffrey la Brook
lyn in a four-round go , nnd somewhat easily
basted his man. although nolther was hurt.
His last notable meeting- was that with Peter
Jackson , the blACK Antipodean , boforu tbo
California Athletic club. There were sixty-
one rounds of this , out after the thlrty-liftb ,
iioithnr mnn struck a Mow. It was a wnlk-
oround. AtthculojQot the last round Cor
bott announced that he had injured bis
wrist but said ho "I for
, : am good twontc- '
four hours , and this follow can't hit me' "
Jackson retaliated : "I have sprained my
thumb , but am good for forty-eight hours
more of this. " Tbo result was thu announce
ment of a draw by , tha referee.
Jackson bus over slnco assorted hh
cheerful willingness to enter into another
engagement , and Corbott has proclaimed a
like dusiro.
Besides the above , Corbott bai the follow
ing In his record : Ho bested Jimmy Daloy
In four rounds , Buffalo Costello In throe ,
whipped Dune McDonald in four , Mlko
Brcnnau m four , William Miller In three aud
faked a draw with Dave Campbell under
Jack Prince and Senator Morgan's manage
ment in the Pavilion nt Portland , Oro.
Jim's rittluro with L-annoii.
It is true , however , that Jim has never
suffered the sting of dofoat. Ho Is game
und superlatively clover ; probably bolng the
shiftiest and nimblest man of his weight In
tba ring today. His defonsa Is good , but his
bitting power but ordinary , that Is , lias
been , up to the present time. Whether ho
has improved In this respect or uot I'll toll
you after the big buttlo tomorrow nliftt.
Last February , in Now York , Corbott ap
peared at Madison Squnro garden ns the
premier Itnor.itov-out , The event of the
night's card was tbo thrao-round wind up
between Apollo Jim and stale old Joe Can
non , The luttor responded to a pressing In-1
vltutlon to appear 33 tbo Callfornlan's ad
versary. He was assured that the bout waste
to bo of the friendly order , nnd never made
nn hour's nroparatlon. Corbott was in
the linost tint of form , as ho always is ,
weighing nearly 2i5 ! pounds , but -despite
these facts Lannon hold his pix-und ndralra-
blv , chocking every ono of Corbott's attempts
to land u knock-out. He had but little dllll
culty in stopping- warding off an of Jim's
famous right nwlngs , and In return fravo him.
many n soul-soaoher In the bodv and on tbo
conk. Corbett became Infuriated at hh futile
endeavors to muko a show of Lannon , nnd
thohuuo crowd guyed him mercilessly. Joe
got onto the vaunted hero of the slooo after u'
fashion that fairly took thu breath of hU old-
time friends , who were equally astonished
at Corbott's bad judgment of'dlstanco and
bis repeated miscalculations were greeted'
with laughter nnd joors. A more rattled
champion was never seen In an exhibition.
His failure to do as ho llkodith old Joa
seemed to deprive him of all bis roliucd skill
and enormous powors.
Should Corbott win tomorrow it will onlv
prove that a | ot ot people nave been misled.

Lectures 11U CumimtrloU nn Thnlr Duly
. .InliiiMj TluiMtnn on the I'artloi-
I.otter from .Itidgo Orounnr.
The state campaign was onthuslastlrally
started lust evening bv n big rally nt the
Farnom street theater under tbo manage
ment of the Afro-Amprlcnn Civil Rights
club. Tbo colored race u nothing If not en
thusiastic whether in n campaign rally or a
cnmpmsotlng. nnd the rousing meeting last
night was no exception to tbo rule. The
opera house was wojl tilled by an
audlnico In which the colored poopla
were In the majority , tuid the applause that
erectedtho annunciation of good republican
doctrines was frequent and heartfelt. A
number of the candidates on the stale ticket
were present , i'nciuding Tom Majors , Oeorgo
II. Haitings , Kugono Moore , J. C. Allen * nd
A. 1C. Uoudy. Among others who occupied
souls on the nlatform were T. 1C. Sudbor-
oughD , 1. Mercer , B. H. Uoblson , Coln-
nol A. A. Jones , John C. Thompson , A. 2.
Boivon , A. D. Whlto , Dr. M. O. Uiokotts , F.
L. Baruott and Howard Watson.
The Omaha Central band rcmdorcd a num
ber of selections In u highly croJltablo man-
nor. after which Mr. F , L. Bnrnott called the
meeting j order and introduced Colonel A.
A. Jones of North Carolina. The colonel
proved to bo a typical specimen of the col
ored orator and bis speech was a taking mixture -
turo of humor and olomienco.
What Ho ipcetuiltinilVlmt Ho Found.
The spenitor said that from tbo stories told
by "calamity howlers" ho had como to Ne
braska expecting to see n poverty stricken
state , wbere beggars nnd pauper * lined
every street und block und corner , but in-
Instead ho saw a Drosoerous and
happy commonwealth where every blade
of grass was a standing argument
for ropubllsan principles , Thn calamity
howler * were living on tbo fat of the land
while thovvero dofuming the fair name of
the state. Abraham Lincoln had signed the
llrst homestead act that had opened up the
fortllo prairies ot Nebraska and under re
publican rule the state had achieved a remarkable -
markablo prosperity.
At the mention of Lincoln's name the
cheering was lontr and loud , nnd then tuo
speaker grow eloquent over the duty of the
noaro to remain loyal to the party that hud
removed his fetters und made him a man.
Ho gave vent to a withering rebuke to the
editor of tbo Afro-American Sentinel for deserting -
sorting tha republican cuubO aud bis exor
dium wnj cheered at ovorv sentence ,
"
Wblloho was su-jaltlnp" John M. Thuraton
appeared upon tbo platform nnd wus wel
comed by a volley of applause which con
tinued for -several mlnutos. Colonel Jones
presented him to tha audioncnas "Nobruska's
favorite son , " and ho received an ovation as
tie stepped forward.
Sumo llpclhot Arguments.
Mr. Thurston said that ho was glad that
bo 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
tbo American people could not ninnu-
Jacturo tinplate and pearl buttons
Just as well ns auy other people. Every tlmo
a republican factory burned nnd the laborers
were thrown out ot employment the demo
crats thanknd God that the republicans bad
received a blow. Every timu n cyclotio ren
dered dccolato and homeless a section of the
wester prairie the democrats and independ
ents tbunked Uod that that coot Ion of tbo
country might go democratic. But notwith
standing thls-thoro.wero moro happy homos ,
moro cradles rocked to tbo sweet music of
Joy and contentment In America than In iiny
country on the dice of tbo earth.
Mr. Thurston said that it was reported
sorao tlmo ago that ho had joined the inde
pendent party There was ono reason why
this was false. Ho had children growing up
whom be did not wish to thlnlc in the years
to como that ho hud bean a political fuiluro
In 1S ! > 2. Where was there n loader In the
independent purty who had not proved a
failure as a leader In some other party' Ho
'
wished to follow the leadership of 'a man
who bad succeeded.
For the past thirty years under tha gov
ern mmit of republicanism the United Stutos
had led the vim of civilization und progress
throughuut the whole world. Tbo republi
can purty wu3 tbo 11 rat to stand bv the prln-
el plo that every man had the right to work
when ho pleased and to receive u fair com
pensation for his labor.
Tbo speaker devoted some time to the ad
vocacy of the force bill. Ho said that it was
hotter that tbo liros sboula be extinguished
In every manufactory , that every forgo
should cease to glow und thut every smoke
stack should stand dismantled und aban- <
doncd , n monument to tbo enterprise that
had been , than any man should lese ono jot
of his publlo or private rlgbts. '
Mr , Tburrftou sat down amidst a storm of
applause , whllo the band played a medley of
patriotic airs. Then Dr. Itickotts was intro
duced and gave a number of very pertinent
reasons why the negro should bo n repub
lican. Ho said that tha truu scientist did
not go to u zoological cardon to study tbo
habits of n tiger , but visited him In his
native jungle , aud tostudv democracy it was
necessary to go south of Mason nnd Dixon's
lino. Ho concluded by oxbortlng the republican
lican party to keep Its pledges to tbo negro
and sou that tba southern negro wus as froa
to vote as ho pleAsed as the northern nogro.
