enough for him, but hitherto without in
ducing Weston to modify his propositions.
Yesterday O'Leary received definite advices
from Weston expressing a willingness TO
walk in America, but insisting the match
u take place in San Francisco, and dur
the second week in March. To this
O'Leary has given his consent.
