fight. The .ussle is put of for six
months. 1t is currently reported. says
the Chronicle of last evening, that the
reason Chatham wants to defer the fight
is that he is about to be married. The
Williams crowd. however, believes that
he wants time to perfect himself in box
ing and wrestling, and they are inclined
to bring the fight TO speedy Issue. The
friends of Chatham are jubilant over his
acceptance of the gauge Of battle, as they
feared he was going to allow Williams TO
crow him ont Of the field. Said one Of
them TO a reporter to-day: Jim won't
let him of SO easy this time. This fight
will settle it. Chatham will lick him so
badly that he won't be able to tell his
mother from an Erie canal boat.
