Ten thousand persons were seated aboJt he arena, representing sn expenditure for seating accommodations aggregating $54, 000. This Is the largest crowd that ever assembled at a ringside In this country 'and the third largest sum tn dollars and ! cents ever contested for. The two that ex- eended It In receipts were ' the Corbett : Jeffries fight at Coney Island, $06,000, and the Corbett-McCoy fight at Madison Square ! Garden, New York, $GJ,000. The scene about the big pavilion from 6 p. m. until the men stepped Into the ring .was one of confusion. The gallery ticket 'holder formed In line on Paclflo, Larkln and Grove streets In three long rows, and, although there was much crowding and , many scrimmages In the effort to gain r admittance, 100 policemen kept perfect or ;der until the doors opened. The pavilion ticket holders were more leisurely In claim ing their seats. Not until 9 were the chairs, , boxes and benches full. About the ring were many who have at tended every pugilistic encounter during the last deoade. Among these were Parson ' Davles, George Bller, ' Harry Houghton, ,W. W. Naughton and Harry Thaw. ', ' On the south side of the arena more than ' 600 Jeffries admirers from Los Angeles sat In a group. Official San Francisco was also largely represented. Bench and bar, com . ell and supervisors, In fact, every branch of the executive administration were at the ringside. . ' There was less trouble in handling the , big crowd than has been experienced on ; similar occasions. At 9 Police Captain .Mooney entered the ring and told Billy Jordan to announce that the contest would not start till all ticket holders were seated. 'His announcement was greeted with cheers and the few still standing found their places and were quickly seated. Preliminaries Both Draws. The preliminaries, the first a six-round draw between Frank Smith of Los Angeles 'and Jack Sheridan of San Rafael, and an other of like length between Jack Evans .and Jerry Fairbanks, kept the crowd In teres ted till 9:16, the time set for the chain 'plonship mill. , . The ring looked large compared with the enclosures used heretofore in this city. In pursuance to an understanding between the men It was made the regulation twenty-four foot ring. Heretofore twenty-foot rings have been the rule. ; At 1 o'clock the betting at Harry Cor : belt's resort was 2 to 1, with much Corbett money in sight. There was no big betting on the result, but some good Wagers were placed. The most popular bet was even money that Corbett would stay twelve ; rounds. Crowd Grows Restless. When the first preliminary waa ended all eyes turned toward the entrance to the dressing rooms of the principals. The 'crowd became restless and amused Itself with calls for the two men, for the referee and other ring celebrities. ! . At 1:16 the crowd rose enmasse as Cham plon Jeffries walked down the long aisle and vaulted through the ropes. He was greeted with great cheers, which, however, seemed Insignificant half a miuute later when Jim Corbett followed him. Jeffries wore black half-length tights. with a belt made of the American flag. He wore no bandages. Corbett had on a long flannel dressing gown. He, too, had no bandages on his hands. Corbett walked across to Jeffries and shook him cordially by the hand. Bob Fltsslmmons, wearln patent leather shoes, dark trousers and a negligee shirt, strolled about the ring Corbett was Introduced first and received great ovation. Jeffries was equally well received a moment later when he was In troduced as the champion of the world. The seconds: For Jeffries, Bob Fltsslm mons, Jack Jeffries, Joe Kennedy and Billy Delaney. For Corbett: Tommy Ryan. Sara Berger, Tang Kennedy and Bob Dare. Messages were received from Jack Mon FIRE SALE $20,000.00 Worth of Our Stock Damaged by Water.

Corbett then proceeded to have his hands wrapped with soft bandages, but It waa remarked that Jeffries did not follow suit. Jeffries walked over and examined Cor bett's bandages at the suggestion Of Flts slmmons. The two Jims argued good- naturedly over the material used, Corbett taking a piece and showing It was soft and pliable. Jeffries nodded assent and walked back to his corner. Corbett removed his bath robes and dis closed a simple black loin supporter. Jeffries took the southwest and Corbett the northeast corner. As they were donning the gloves they presented a striking con trast of form. Jeffries, big, muscular, stolid and dark as an Indian, was a strik ing contrast with the lithe, trim-built Cor bett, with flesh as smooth and firm as Parian marble. Corbett seemed a trifle pale, but composed. Tommy Ryan leaned over the ropes and remarked to a friend that Jeffries was as soft as mud and would certainly lose his title. The men then lined up for a photograph In fighting attltudo. Jeffries removed the American flag from his waist and Billy Delaney put It In his pocket. The two men then shook hands and the big mill started. Fight br Rounds. Round 1 The men came to the center. Jeffries feinting and Corbett . stepping lively, jenries swung iert over (ortett s head.

It was noticed that Corbett did little foot work, but stayed close In and put two rights solidly over the heart. Jeffries missed right for the body, but put It on the chest lightly. As they broke Corbett quickly stepped in and sent right to the heart. Jeffries re marked "AU. ine nrst rouna ina.ics.iea that Jeffries Is fast and that Corbett did not do iinv fancv work.

In the break Jef fries swung left on back of the head lightly, Corbett has failed thus far to land a single left-hand blow. He attempted It at this stage, but was too close in. Jeffries forced him to the ropes, coming dangerously near the )aw with a left hook. They Immedi ately came into a clinch, In the break of which Corbett hooked a smashing left to the Jaw. Corbett sent In left and right to the body, but got left hook on the head. Jeffries came on quickly, but Corbett clinched.

T'e blows did not hurt Jeffries and he Only smiled and forced his man aDout the ring, It was a rourh round. Round 4 Jeffries went after Corbett, but olever clinching and blocking prevented damage. Referee Graney stopped the fight to look at Jeffries' glove, which burst, but he told them to go on with tne nght. Jeffries fought hard In the clinches, out Corbett got In too close to get hurt. Jeffries swung hard left on chest and got left on the mouth and right over heart. There were yells that Jeffries was fighting foul, but the proceedings did not warrant any such claim. Corbett got In close, Jabbing Jeffries several times with left. Corbett stepped to his knees from a left smash. Jeffries came back with another one. but Corbett blocked It. Corbett was strong and ran to his corner at the close. Round 6 Police Captain Mooney entered the ring to look at Jeffries' glove. Flts slmmons and Kyan went to Jeffries' corner and cut the glove off. Another waa sub stituted, but not until thirty aeoonds of the fifth round had expired. Jeffries fought for the body continually. Corbett was doing some fast side stepping. Corbett did not seem to have a bit of force behind his left hand hooks and alternated with a short right over the heart which seemed to be the best he had. Jeffries stood up straight and hooked Jlrn twice in the stomach. Cor bett put the beet blow thus far op Jeffries' ribs. He got a left on the neck In return. Jeffries put a hard left hook on Corbett's Jaw, following It up with left and right for. the body. Corbett held on and the gong rang. Corbett seemed tired.

Round 7 Jeffries wrnt after Corbett fiercely. Corbett used his feet to good ad vantage at this stage. He tried to us his once lightning left, but it was a lame ex cuse, lie came In quickly and sent his with left to the body. Corbett held on, eny- ng: "He can t knorK me out. He can I knock me out. Go on Jim, see If you can Icnrwlr me mil." Thev rllnrhed rerieatedlV. Corbett landed several short arm lefts and lights on the head. As quickly as they came Into break Jeffries was on top of him, forcing him to clinch. Corbett took a left on the head and vipperout to the chin. Corbett was fighting faster on his feet at this stage, using his fancy boxing tactics, but they were of no use against his burly opponent. Round 8 Corbett staggered Jeffries with a left to the nose and ducked Jeffries' left. Jeffries hooked right to the body, Corbett sending In half a anion lefts and rights cn Jeffries' fare, whlrh he arcepted pleasantly. JeTrles was coming toward his man all the time and In a breakaway almost landed right on law. Jeffries put left to tne bony, frot two lefts on fare and came hack with eft on head. Corbett endeavored to stab Jeffries In the eyes, but thus far his blows have not raised a bump. Corbett fought cleverly at this stage, sending In half a dosen lefts and rights on the Jaw. He seemed to Improve 100 per cent and the crowa was in a state or win excitement. They cheered him to the echo. This was Corbett's round. He changed hJs style, imlng some of his old-time cleverness In ducking and blocking. Round Jeffries came at corbett with a rush like that of a mad bull. Corbett put left on the face and avoided a return. Jeffries leaned heavily on Corbett In the clinch. Corbett seemed as strong as ever and there was a long series of clinches. Corbett put three rights on the body at Close quarters. He hooked Jeffries on the Jaw three times with left nid crossed with right. He blocked Jeffries efforts and at close quarters put three rights on the body and one on the Jaw. He repeatedly stsbbed Jeffries on the mouth with lefts. Corbett's left cheek showed a lump from one of Jef fries' close-arm blows. Jeffries had a sim ilar mark. Jeffries hooked left to the body and the referee had trouble in separating them. At the close Corbett stabbed Jeffries' mouth with his left three times, but they were weak efforts. Round 10 Jeffries stood straight up and came after his man without hesitation. Corbett seemed to be making a waiting fight. They exchanged lefts to the face and Jeffries made a vicious effort. Jeffries sent a left hook to the stomach, and Cor bett went down for nine seconds; he cot up and received a left on the stomach and right on the Jaw. He went down and after the oount of seven Tommy Ryan threw up the sponge. Corbett was suffering pain and a chair was brought for him. After a minute's rest he recovered and got up and shook hands with Jeffrlea. LOCAL INTERESJ IN FIGHT Newspaper Telephones ICept Busy and Crowds Collect at Iportlng Resorts. The newspaper offices were early aware of the fact that there were a large number of people In Omaha who took an interest In the big fight. Early In the evening the telephone bell commenced ringing and news from the fight was eagerly Inquired for. That the Interest was more than pass ing was evidenced by the fact that, though the fight did not start until near midnight, Omaha time, the calls became more nu merous as the evening progressed and a the time drew near It kept one man busy answering the calls. Some evidently awoke from their slumbers and suddenly remem bered they had not heard from the con test and immediately rushed to the tele phone. These calls continued until the late hours and some of the early risers were also too anxious to wait for the delivery of the morning papers. A great deal of Interest was manifested by the local lovers of the game and wher ever the returns were received there a large crowd was congregated to hear the latest news. While almost everyone seemed to think Jeffries was sure to win. still when It looked at various stages of the fight that Corbett had slightly the bet ter end of the running a lusty cheer went up for the former champion. Sympathy of the crowds generally seemed to be with him. There were many arguments engaged In as the fight progressed and one at least wound up by the participants assuming the position of the heavyweights which the argument was about. They were promptly separated, however, by their friends and the crowd, which had parted for an Instant to allow them to decide dif ferences, surged back and the incident was closed. The betting waa very dull all day yes terday. The largest bet announced was one of $50 to $100. A large number of small beta were taken by the pool rooms, who were forced to assume the Corbett end of the betting at S to 6 to bring out any money at all. While the pool rooms of fered t to t on Corbett In the evening and nearly all outsiders seemed to be favoring Jeffries, there were very few takers. While the general opinion prevailed that Jeffries would win, there seemed to be very few who were willing to carry the heavy end and back their Judgment with money. Quite a number of wagers were made re garding the number of rounds the contest would last, the number of rounds agreed upon ranging all the way from five to the limit, twenty. Almost all of these beta were made at even money. After the be ginning of the contest the pool rooms took the Jeffries end of the betting and at tempted to get some money up at 10 to I on the winner, but there were practically no takers, and after the announcement of the result of the third round the attempt was given up.' One Individual who Is sup posed to be posted In such matters said that the odds were too 'great and that with the Interest manifested In the fight If the odds could have been placed at 4 to t there would have been many large bets recorded and the small bets would have been almost unlimited.

JUDGE LORE TALKS OF MOBS Condemns the Hasty Action of Courts in Trying Cat sou MAY BECOME PART OF THE MOB Says the Greater tho Clamor, the Greater Care Courts Shonld Kx ' eretse In Deriding Gallt or In nocearo of Accused. . CHAUTAUQUA, N. T., Aug. li Tbo dis cussion of mob law and lynching was con tinued here today by Chief Justice Lore of Delaware. His subject was 'The Rela tion of the Law to tho Manifestation of the Mob Spirit." Justice Lore, summarizing th effect of mob rule, said It brutalized the Individual man, destroyed free government and In creased crime. Continuing, he sold: What Is the remedy? What Is the cure for mobs? Most emphatically we say, the remedy is not In hasty and feverish action of courts of justice against the criminal whose offense is the exciting cause. Law has Its highest function in throwing Its shield of protection before the Ignorant, the weak and the helpless, and waa spe cially designed as a barrier against tem porary madness. The more brutal the crime, the more degraded and Ignorant the criminal, the more widespread and tense the public rage, the more Imperative It Is that courts of Justice should hear a fair, calm and quiet hearing and the proof of or I me be established, otherwise Innocent men may bo convicted for a crime they did not commit, as In the recent lynching of a negro in the South, when it was found, after his life had been taken, that he had not been within twenty miles of the scene of the outrage. Duty of tho Conrts. " When mob spirit rules, courts of Justice Should be unyielding in their stand for fair dealing, otherwise they simply become the mob and vendors of vengeance and not of Justice. Tho Judges of Delaware have no apology to make for not listening to suggestions of mob vengeance In the rase of George White. One cure for mnb )hw unquestionably is the fearless defense of the accused by his keeper. Outside of violence, the remedy. In my Judgment, Is that the people shall be taught n season and out of season that our safety as a people lies In implicit obedience to the lnw. This should be taught In our public schools, by the press, by the pulpit and on the forum. Antirohy lurks under the pleasing garb of liberty, and the assassin clothes himself na a defender of human rights. Lawless ness is our danger. Reverence of the law and obedience to Its mandates is our safety. A strong, masterful sentiment of such obedience to law Is a sure cure for mobs. I believe with United States Judge David Brewer "that there Is going to be a reaction against the atrocious crime with which the papers have been filled." The fact that the feople are now interesting themselves In he discussion of this problem makes It manifest that there Is a tendency toward a change. I expect It will come soon.
