THE BDF4H SHOW'S ' SUPERB PROSPECTS A. lltintl IK Iiljl At tlio Trap mill In the rinlil Ulmtty C.vclo > own The Hull 1'lMj-or * MHnngo mirt Uo lp. I bare been numerously requested within tbo past week to review in tbo columns of THE Hen the great batilo of ton days ago between - tween John L. Snlllvr.n nnd Jim J. Corboll , and in reply to nil these friendly overtures I would say that 1 reviewcd the Ught by tele graph on tha night of its occurrence. But lltllo remains to bo snld , for , as ono nblo " authority proclaims , It is Sullivan's defeat "S ana not Corbntl's ' victory that inloresls mill ions of American citizens. Corbott did in ono briot hour what ho will not bo able to undo in a hundred years. It was a great re sponsibility ho assumed , indeed , when ho bout lo oarlh nnd literally annihilated the idol of the sporting world nn achievement , too , that was considered no la s Impossible than damming the majestic Niagara with a loaf of gingerbread. Ho has created a void iu tbo breasts of millions and millions ot loyal subjects tbat the whole Corbott race will not bo able to fill for poneratlonR locome. I bavo read many exhaustive screeds by well known sporting writers since the big battle embodying tbe whys and wherefores of tbo big fellow's downfall. Their theories uie'many nml varied , and in somu instances grotesque. Mnllco and rovenge.supennduced by n vigorous collision with iho pool-box , anil the natural Inborn prejudice of man have been the motive power that propelled not n few of thpso analytical pencils. What has required columns of valuable upaco in alleged oxegosls can bo tully stated in n paragraph. Sulllvun vt as defeated , not from a lack of or from ill-advised training , but simply for the reason that he was overwhelmingly out- clas'ed : John L. has outfought , ouldmnU and outlived himself years since. The night bo entered that fatal roped mciosuro In the middle of the Olympic's vast an.phlthealer , he vi as wllhin a month of boine thlriy-four years of ago , out ho looked forty-bve , If ho looked a day. The grizled close-cropped hair about Iho temples , the deep furrows radiat ing from the corners of his eyes , nnd the general carewornIndolent air that enveloped him hould have bcun n sufficient augury as lo the way Iho hiiltlo was eolng. Not once in all those twenty-one fierce nnd bloody rounds aid ho give evidence that bo bad over been oven a tolerable llghter.lolnlono the flstlc wondorwo nil thought him. All of thi ! essentials thai uro supposed to enter into the composition of n successful pugilist were wofully absent , save one Ibat of brulc stoicism und endurance. It was n fascinalliip , yet horrible , spectnclo lo sco this magnificent Colossus slandiug there In the center of thut roped Inclosure , Ilko AJax defying the lightning , and bolus iteadily and systematically hammered inlo a pory nnd inanimate bulk. And what a scone was Ihero when , al last , bo foil I The maddened shoulsof Iho vaslcrowd sud denly hushed , nnd lor u momentary interval there was not n stir , not a breath. The overthrow of the giant hod appalled the ivoild. So dead tlio biluuco the Hunlo fetter of Glcjpmr might huvo been woven froiiijit , Tbcro scorned ns if a weird influence bad touted upon iho place.and a frowning horror crouched wilhin that small arena. A troop of phantoms could not have moro startled tboso crowds. They had reached a stage of paralysis. Such was the fall of John L. Sullivan. Wed Jim Corbelt wus Ibo man who wrought all this work. LucKy Jim Corbott 1 What ho did a 'hundred und one other flcht- ers could hcvo dono. Dogged perseverance und a willingness lo chop , chop , chop uwny until iho monarch loitered aud loll , was all that was necessary. Tboro was no dancer of retaliation from Iho victim. There was no power within his nmsslvo frame lo Justify four. Ho was merely on offering on n sacri ficial altar. Ho was not tiio John U Sulli van of old , not the Jotir ? L. Sullivan I knew eight or ten years ago , but u sort of an automa ton in his BWJinlnir. Uone tlylt is my firm be lief lhat Jack Davis , yea , oven Mike Uoden , could bavo whipped the couptorfclt present ment of the big fellow who fell before Jim Corbott that nlgbt- 1 have been asked frequently , altio , whether I thought John I , , could have whipped Cor- boll when at bis best , say seven or eight years u/o. Well , t but is nhnrd question to answer. Sullivan was n forncioux demon in the ring in those times , and no man dared Samper with him. But Corbett is an Inno vation , n revelation In pucilUlirs. nnd it would bo dlDlcult to compare him with the real John L , of former t'tnrs. Ono thing , oowovor , It Is safe to say , und thai is that the California ! ! would not hnvo cone smiling in thalMckcnlng wuy ot his thrnuu-n twenty- one rounds , or even one round , night years ago wltb John L. and whin hu emerged in the end possibly much of his no.iuly would huvo born marred. Ho wouldn't have been treatIng - Ing with the Indifferent , languid , impotent old man bo met a week ago Wednesday night. As to Ibo rumors of u tako. They aru groundless , but thcro is a story current now that look ? al least plausible , nnd worthy ot the closest aud rcost rigid investigation. P. J. Donahue , of Iho Now York Kecordor , snvH in Thursday's puper : The opinions of Ibo best friend * * of John L. Sulllvun are that tlio defeat of the big follow was the result of a "Job , " und tbat bo was "stiffened1' before ho entered the ring. They do not hesitate lo assert that the big mun from ISoston was poisoned , and Komoovcn go BO fur us to lusluuato that men who should bo closest to Ilia ex-champion were cognizant of Iho fact thul bo wus lo bo given Iho "bleb low. " Since tno doftml of the strong bov his friends bnva argued thut ha could not have in ail o so poor u tliowinp it ho was right , and they huvo gene to worlt systematically to lirovo the truth.ot their assertions Trioy huvu token up the tin cud of circumstantial evidence nnd worked on It with care , and now they helluva they have mutters in such u shape that Sullivan's greatness will bo maJo apparent , uud the fact that bo was not defeated on the level mudo palpable. They buvu no doubt ho wus done wrong by , and say ito without nnj hesitancy. Sullivan nussod u bad night Monday. Ho wan in bed in thu rooms occupied by bis de voted ulster Annlo nnd her husband , James Pennon , Tlio big fellow wns all out of Bhnpo , nnd two doctors wore in attendance.

Tncra was no such thing as sloop on board the Pullmans the crowd of sports , broke and otherwise , held a veritable saturnalia tbo live-long night with tnolr stories , Jokes and song.

Sxi > r GIUSWOI.D. Hunting In tin ) CulurudocK. OMAUA , Sept. IG. To the Snorting Editor of Tun BEE : About this time of the year everyone who can starts on his annual hunting nnd fishing trip. I remember that it was about the middle ot September last when I Iclt Omaha bound for the Rockies on my first expedition of that kind. Until reaching Dem or I was quite undecided wbcro to go , but having heard so much of the beauties of tbe Middle Park In Grand county , Colorado , 1 decided to Journey to that cereal haunt of the deer , elk and bear. Leaving Georgetown ono bngbt morn ing I traveled by stage ( or irale.s up the steep , rocky slopes of the Front range , across Berthoua pass , 11,1 WO above tbesea.nnd down a winding trail through creat forests of pine , spruce and lir trees. Tbe leaves of the quakonasp were turning from green to sroldou , und mingling as they did with tbe heavy evergreens on tbo Mopci made n sight which , for beauty , will long bo remotnborod. It ivas late In tbe evening when the stage rolled into the llttlo village ou iho shores of Grand lake. Thu lake Is u oaautiful sheet of water , cluar , cold bud deep , abounding in trout , which arc easily caught with an or dinary angler's Jly. This shoot , of water , nestling us U does far up iu the mountains , entirely surrounded by peaks on which the snow lies the greater part of tbo year , with tall ever greens crowing ou uvcry avuilubla inch of ground , makes not only one of the pretti est of mountain lakes , out a splendid pluco to spend a fuw weoUs of the summer. lust as the sunlight was tipping tbo moun tain peaks onu morning , a friend and myself accompanied by Uio Hill , a famous scout and guide In the park country , started ou a short hunt. Wo decided to go to Carlton lake , somu four mllcn to the west , where , accord- , inc to tbo guide's statement , game could nearly always bo fouud. Cautiously approaching the bluffs which hemmed in the small oody of water , wo peered over and tboro on the brink stood eleven deor.Vo agreed to flro together und lying down took aim. At u word from our guide wo fired and then wild with excitement I pumped the lever of my Winchester for nil I was worth , My com panions , bceingmvexcltotnont.had refrained from Jlring after the first volley. Loaning at thorn when my nllu was empty I found thorn convulsed with laughter. Down at the water's ndgo lay flvo deer , dead. My eight wild ahota had'klllcd two , while at our first round each had brought down ono. Not such u bad two Hours' wcrk after all. That was my first uud only case of "uuck fever. " Mlddlo purk was formerly the reservation of the Ulo Indians and quIto u battle wus fought ut ( irand Inlio between the Utes and ArnpahooM somu years ago. During the fight iho Utcs placed their women und chil dren In canoes nnd turned thorn adrift in the lake In order "to lieen them out of danger. In some way thulr enemies managed to cot at the uoncombat- ants nnd drowned tbo eitiro : party. The Utcs did not discover tholr losi until Iho battle was over , believing that the treacherous wntors had risen at tbo bidding of the Arapahoe raodlulno mun and swal lowed their people. They therefore called the lake Mouudnock , mou'img mysterious water. 1 lingered on in that mountain country iUhlnir uud bunting until the lust week in October. Snow hud been falling for nearly two \veons , but that ouly mudo the hunting better. The day before my intended do- parluro a heavy snow storm en mo up which lasted a week und which made my chance * of netting over the ranee look exceedingly slim. Thu weather grow steadily colder , but ut last I decldod to HtnrU Olio Monday morning with nearly three foot of onnwon the trround nnd the thermometer ut zero 1 climbed Into a sleigh uud wltb Uta 1)111 us driver and Kuldo sturted on my long rldo of sixty miles over tbo mountains to the nearest railway tuutlon. All day lonir wo struggled on through the cold und snow , ana ut nightfall bud covered only thirty miles. The next monnuir snow wus again falling , but wo Blurted , hoping to cross tbo range that duy. As woim'ondod the snow became deeper and the atmosphere colder. About 4 o'clock wo reached tbo stage blatlon on tbo summit , and cftorun hour's rust nnd a cup of coffee iturlcd down tbo fceton slope. The full moon , shedding bur llhl ( on the siiow-oovcred slope and canyons , enabled us to travel on In purlect rafoty. Cromluir Kmplrti pan above Goorpotawu , tbu trail U blusted out of tbo solid rock. Ono fuUo ( top of the hoiiius would have hurled us to Iho bottom of the canyon. 1,000 fvot below , where Iliu track * of tboColorado Midland luy k'llntonlng In the moonlight , I atoul night wo drove into Georgetown , ueurly froicu stiff , Thus ended u pleasant buntlnc trip and a perilous puaKugo over tbo ureut rtngo. J. II G. Oirrr till ) J > i > K , ' 1 ho tlmo wui , ovoa within tbo memory ot the writer , who U UU u young man , tbut tbo mun. who want out into ' .he field with deft und gun or ilopjxxl la tbu pursuit ot wealth Ions enough to cast n book Into Iho water , win looked upon nlmosl as a vagabond. If bo hupponoJ to be n ninn old enough to pos ROSS silver hairs hU lapse from grace | amounted tlmost to n crlmn. Tbo change bos been rapid nnd complete. Now even n , president can take bis rod or gan for nn outIng - Ing nnd far from the madding crowd study nature nnd fight mosquitoes without excit ing adverse comment. The writer is ono who Irom early childhood has fo.inil pleasure nnd bis principal recreation with , rod , gun nnd dog. Every vear as Iho sci- ' SODS como and co iho anticipation of n few days' release from the humdrum of every day existence to enjoy tno sport peculiar to tbe season has boon looked forward to wltb pleasure. Nothing could possibly bo a belter tonic to the overworked denizen of the ofllcc than to get out on the broad pralnoforn day's shoot- In ? over the dogs. Chicken shooting to bu sure is tnmo enough from the stunduoint of the man who views It solely from the skill rcoulrod of the gunner. Their straight and heavy flight In the open makes them nn easy mark even for the Indifferent , shot. It Is not this which brings to tno true- sportsman his chief dcllirht , The writer took a trin yester day Into the country In search of pralrlo chickens and though bo ba3 arrived at years when the old fogy says mon ought to give up tbo sport of youth , bo is free to confess that no boy could possibly relish it more. Out from the town with light hearts nnd pleasant anticipations drove my frlenoGcorgo und I out to the brown stubble fields nnd open prairie. There were no moro anx ious occupant * of that buggy than the two dogs , Ike und Jack. They needed no telling of wtint was coming and nn urging to got out to work. They were as kcon ns their masters nnd loved the sport fully us well. The crack ot iho bammcrlcss Is muslo to their soul. "Ah 1 there's a fine stubble ; lot's try it , HI on , Ike. JauKl" They need no second In- vltnllon. Just look at thorn go , with head erect , these fluely drawn , sensitive nostrils are snlfllng the ftcsh autumn broezo. Watch them circle and turn , see how they manngo to got the benefit of the wind ; into the woody draw they go , for well ihoy know the favorite haunts of the birds. Around that patch of bare ground they run without giv ing It oven u passing glance , for no chlckon arc to bo found there. Watch thoio tails in their seormnply never ending whirl. "Careful tnero , steady , Ike 1" The admonition is wasted for Iko knows his business lully as well , if not better , than his master. 1'bo headlong , apparently aim less gallop has ceased. Carefully ho walks along , iho tall has ceased its steady switch and moves in spasmodic Jorlis , every muscle Is twitching with suppressed excitement , these delicate nostrils arc snlfllng the breeze which tells tnolr owner of the nearness of Iho birds. Down ho poos. What a plcturo for painter or sculptor. Look at thorn thcro , for Jack has now como up behind. No artist's model o'er stood so silent nnd Immovable with every muscle drawn tense , the tail oven has ceased to n.ovo nnd is now as ngta ns the body. The mun who can witness such a sight without fooling his pulse beat quicker must huvo indeed u sluggish , unapproclatlvo snul. The painter who can transfer tbat picture to canvas in all its lifelike reality has a fortune awaiting him. Up como the hunters with every nerve Uncling. Up go Iho birds with a confusing whirl , but It's too old a storv to ronfuso George and mo. Bancl bang ! bang ! bnngl belch forth our Lefovcrs. Four birds are down. The only immov able figures in all thut scene nro Iko and Jack. Like statues hewn from marble , they are motionless still. "Dead bird. Ike , Jack I" They are off like a Hash , but soon return bringing the birds which are carefully laid at our feet. Do dogs think ! Well , If they don't they have the advantage of humanity ; tboy Know without thinking. Frou. stubble to stubble the same storv Is repeated until iho day is dono. All tbo birds for which we have use have rewarded our efforts and wo return home to lake up the monotonous round of ovcry-dny. llfo with re newed energy. C. J. D. Tlic Coining Hunch Miow.
