CHAMPIONSHIP.
THE

JBadly Punished The
Fight by Rounds.
San Francieco, July 22. After
fightiDg a battle of eight rounds
tnat was fraught with brilliant and
courageous work, Robert Fitzaiin
mons tonight forfeited his last claim
upon the heavy weight champion
ship, lis was knocked to the floor
by James Jeffries and counted out
after he had so badly punished the
champion that it was a foregone
conclusion, among fae spectators,
tha.t tiie Cornishinan must win.
Bleeding from a number of gashes
ia the face, apparently weakening,
and clearly unable to cope with
Fiursimmons' superior ekill, Jeffries
aeavered two lucky puuches as
iFitssimcaons paused in his fighting
toepeakto him, and turned the
tide..
The battle was brief but notewor
thy, and will live in pugilistic his

eDd of the round from his nose and
a gash over the right eye. Billy
Dalaney busied himself over him
between rounds.
Round 4 Jeffries looked haggard.
He crouched and clinched his lips.
He was very careful, and stayed
clear of Fitzsimmons left jabs. Bob
blocked two swing.for the head and
got out of the reach of another. A
moment later they came together
and exchanged lefts on the face.
Fitzsimmons put a short right hook
on the head and Jeffries ' landed a
left on the chest. Fitzsimmons put
Jeffries' head back" with a left jab
and started the blood. Jeffries got
another right on the bead, -but
came in with two left hooks, one
for the head and another for the
body. Fitzsimmons was going away
however, and the force was broken, j
Bob landed a stiff left on the body,
but got a right on the head. Fitz
simmons then took a turn at forc
ing, putting his - left on the face
twice and compelling Jeffries to
duck away from him. Jeffries look
ed determined but worried as he
listened to Delaney's instructions.
Round 5. They feinted and fid
dled for a moment. Then Jeffries
sent a left for the body, but missed
and got a chop on the face. Fitz
simmons got a'left to Jeffries' face,
but took a left and a right on the
body. Jeffries forced Fitzsimmons
to the ropes, and put his left on the
face twice. Fhziimmons clinched,
and when they broke away sent in
two body blows from the left and
right, delivered from the hips. Tbey
clinched repeatedly. Fi'ziimmons
put a terrific right on the jaw, and
a moment later a left on the nose.

before the close of the round, Fitz

blood. Jeffries was not winded,
but was bleeding from the nose, left
eye and right cheek. The only
mark on Fitzsimmons was a slight
abrasion on the right cheek.
Round 6 Jeffries came up and
crouched lovg. He missed . his first
attempt with a left for the head.
He rushed, but the wiley redhead
blocked every blow and got out of
the way. Fitzsimmons put a right
on Jeffries' head, one on the body
and another on the nose. Jeffries
broke ground and ducked out of the
way. They exchanged lefts on the
head, Fitzsimmons' being most
damaging. Jeffries rushsd again
and again, but he was smothered
and took three lefts and a right on
the face. Jeffries forced Fitzsim
mons to the ropes, but got a right
and left on the face which staited
the blGod afresh. Fitzsimmons
showed remarkable cleverness in
getting away from rushes. His left
jabs were cutting, and just as the
gong sounded be put another on
Jeffries' sore mouth and nose.
Kound Jettnes covered up
well and rushed Fitzsimmons de
terminedly. He put his left on the
body, but took a left and a right on
the head. Neither was damaging,
however, and when, a moment la
ter they came together, Jeffries put
two terrific left swings ou the body
and one on the bead. Jeffries wore
a determined look. As he stopped
to spit, Fitz9immon8 jabbed him
three times on the mouth and forced
him to the ropes. Jeffries came
back like an enraged bull, and,
bleeding from his nose, mouth and
each cheek, he rushed the smaller
man to the ropes, putting . his left
on the body and his right over the
heart. Fitzsimmons stood him off,
however,, with left jabs,! occasional
ly sending a left to the head. Jeff
ries sent his left to the head, and
in the clinch they carried on a con
versation, Fitzsimmons smiling
good-naturedly, while Jeffries was
bleeding and presented a terrible
appearance. He was not tired, how
ever, and took it easy in the wait.
Round 8 Bob stood up straight,
feinting with his left and drawing
Jeffries oti. Jeffries smiled through
his bloody features, ducking a left
swing and landing a hard left on
the ribs. They went at it, Fitz
simmons putting his left on the.face
and took one on the head. Fitz
siaimons missed a right, and took
one on the head. Fitzsimmons

A FIJIAN WALKS BAREFOOTED
AND PROFESSES SUPERNAT
URAL POWERS.
Honolulu July 3. Ia no part of the
broad British domain were there weirder
ceremonies in connection with the coro
nation of Edward VII, probably, than in
Suva, the capital of the crown colony of
Fiji. The coronation festivities there
lasted a week the Polynesian counts the
importance of a celebration by the length
of time jt lasts. Mingled with church
services and children's entertainments,
boat racing and horse-racing, dinners by
his excellency the administrator, ' and- a
grand ball at the administrator's official
residence, was a grand exhibition of the
ceremony of Vilavillairevo, or the Poly
nesian fire-Walking.
This ceremony attracted chiefs
peupie irom an parts 01 jf ijt. li was g.
en a prominent plaee on the programme
of the celebration. It took place near the
government house and was attended by
His Excellency the administrator, Mr.
Allardyce and nearly all the government
officials of the coloay, and mest of the
leading white residents. It was perform
ed by an old native Fijian, known aa Ku
veni, much venerated for his supposed
supernatural powers even among the
proselytes of the Wesley an church, the
leading religious denomination in Fiji,
whose membership is numerous enough
to furnish a choir of 5OO voices in the vo
cal parts of the ccronation celebration.
The ceremony took place on the even
ing of January 25. Careful preparation
had been made for it. On the grounds
near the government house a deep trench
or hole about 20 feet long, twelve feet
wide and eight feet deep was dug, and
ear.'y in the forenoon of the day of the
ceremony this was filled nearly full of
keawi wood, cut in coriwood lengths.
This is the customary firewood ot Fiji,
and burns with an intense heat. Upon
this keawood were piled an immense
quantity of lava rocks, varying in size
from that of a good-sized watermelon to
that of a bushel basket.
The quantity of the rocks or stones was
so adjusted that waen the cord wood had
well burned down the rocks would fill
the pit nearly to the level of the sur
rounding ground. The cordwood was
lighted shortly before noon, so as to thor
oughly heat the stones by 9 o'clock at
night, at which time the ceremony was
To take place. Around this pit on all four
sides at a distance from its edge of about
twelve feet were arranged seats for the
epectatois, of whom there were several
thousands. Electrict lights were provid
ed to make ihe ceremony clearly visible
to all.
By 9 o'clock the mass of stones was at
a white heat, except a few of those around
the edges of the pit. Kuveni, the fire
walker, attended by native chiefs, ap
proached the fiery pii, clad ia a sort of
lawi-lawi, or short skirt of white cotton
cloth. Over this he wore a somewhat
longer skirt, made' of the ti plant, strung
on. a girdle about his waist and hanging
loosely down, Ou his head he wore a
sort of loose chaplet, also made of ti
leaves, the leaves hanging down over his
body and shoulders, covering them ptet
ty well. He wore no other garments.
His feet were entirely bare, and, though
the soles of his feet were thick and hor
ney, from having gone barefooted all his
life, he used no preparation of any kind
on iheni. In his hands he carried a bun
dle of ti leaves, looslly tied up into a sort
of sheaf, the ends of the leaves falling
freely out from the retaining cord3 at one
end. As he approached the fiery pit men
with long pieces of wood stirred, the
stones till their white, almost molten,
undersides were turned uppermost, and
from the center of the pit glowed white
hot even in the electric light.
First reciting in a lond monotone an
ancient Fijian form of incantation, Ku
veni first struct the stones at the edgerof
the pit with his bundle of ti leaves, and
then, advancing slowly, crossed through
the center of the pit, raising and lower
ing and swinging his bunch of ti leaves
from one side of him to another as he did
so.
Uttering a second incantation, he re
crossed the hot rocks again, going right
through the center of the pit where the
stones are the hottest. Thia he repeated
seven times crossing and recrossiDg in
the same deliberate manner, repeating
his incantations and swinging his bundle
of ti leaves,
When he had concluded his ceremony
the Fijians, in ecstacies of amazement
and admiration, carried him bodily to
the government house, showering him
with silver, seizing the ti leaves of his
uaraphernalia as mementos and enchant
ed relics, and praying him for blessings
on themselvesand relatives or curses on
his enemies.
An examination of Kuveni's feet at the
instance of the -administrator, aocorIing
to passengers from the steamship 'Mnana
which arrived here yesterday, and who
witnessed it, revealed no sign of burning
or any effect of the fire or hot stones wh at
ever. Flashlight pictures takenof the cer
emony show the -white light of the hot
stones where his feet touched them in
crossing the fiery pit.
The effect produced on the natives is
described as something almost beyond
exaggeration, and even on the whites
who witnessed it a deep fmpreasion of its
uiarvellousness was made. ' .
