Govorn; dnzod and clearly gone, got to his feet. Be ho was an Instant too lato, Referee Graney swung his hands in the air as a signal that tho fight was over and that Corbott had retained the cham? pionship, In nn Instant a torride uproar took placo, McGovern's backers, maddened by the sight of their favorito being dragged to his corner a defeated man, swurmod around nnd into tho ring. Thoy wero not. quicker than tho poltro, howovor, who piled them pell-mell through tho ropes. Fur live- minutes the uproar continued. Thou the lights were turned down, and the crowd filed out. I-? THE FIGHT LOCALLY ? Great Interest Manifested, But All the Bets Small. Richmond's sporting blood was much In evidence at Sparks and Block's lost night, when fully five hundred mon lingered to' hear Jim Baccl road out tho light between Corbett and McGovern, round by round.
