AZ the present ume. the inference is the light will
take place near MIL Creek, the scene OF the scuf-
ne between Billy Edwards ana sam Collyer last
summer. Thus far there has been no attempt az
prominently in the last afah OF the kind reInem-
per II with feelings akin TO sorrow. The steamer
Mccormick was chartered on that occasion by Bar

Aliens friends In the West are numerous, ana q
large delegation IRON 81. Louis is expected here
on Monday next. the puglist has also many ad-

sporting men, however, betting will be
stimulated, ana It is likely the odds Will not

in rst class trim and will fight as he never fought
before, wnlle others OF proessed authority say he

perhaps Billy Edwards, while Joe CoDurn and
another, not yet Named Will perform like duty
Tor Rookie. The men are TO be in the ring at an
early nour, and II Is the intention OF Barney
Aaron who manages the affair, to have the night
come OF on the DAY named at the earliest possible
moment.
