Round 1—As f»r as hitt ng is concerned C »rbett cleHrIy hae the 6ret of it at Ihe open : ng, as he getg m four gond hlnwa to Mitchell’s three. Il is evidently Mitchell’g intcntion to make as long a 6ghl as possib!e. His clinching sh*-ws that. But by the way C<>rbett starts in it looka t* me as though the 6ght would not last lorg. C‘>r bett seems to be a winner. From wh«t I kuow of the men I don’t see h<*w he ean fail. TELEGRAM. Second Round—A wilel ex cbange and a elineh. Corbett upj>ercut his man as they eame together.

Secoml Konml —Corbett seems to be huving things his own way. ’ Fighting liko this means short work, and Jim ought to win i quickly. Mitchell wili be knockod oot iu four rounds at this rate. Corbett’s favorite tactics seem to bo to aim for the head and vary it with a body blow. That : s the way ho fought me. He struck for my head, and about every third b!ow wonld lead with bi* left Tor iuy stomacb. His bb»w on Michell’s hend raay not be painfnl. If it landed ou top it did not hurt any. Corbett is g»ing right in to fiuish the £uglishman up quick. TELEOUAM. Third Kound —Mitchell was rather groggy. Curbeit ruahed at him, hitting right and Ieft heavily o i Mitchell’a n*ck.
