NEW ORLEANS, July Am important change
in the arrangements for the fight is announced
today but only the immediate representatives
Of the pugilists and the World correspondent
now know the programme. Should ii become
common property, the chances for the tight
would be seriously impaired. AS stated by
those who have control of the arrangements, no
one who paws $40 for ticket will be excluded
1om witnessing the battle. Yesterday morning
Bud Reuaud received a telegram from Captain
T. J. Jenison, of Meridian Miss, saying mat ne
would accept Renaud's terms ana Drlhg twenty
men with Winchester rifles 10 preserve order AT
the ring side. JemiSon IS a noted character IN
the south and his company recently quellea q
bloody riot near Meridian after an exceedingly
hot fight. Remand has every confidence IN lhe
captains ability to preserve orGer. Every Oouy
here believes that if any attempt IS made by the
crowd TO break into the hghIlng square, HVes
will be sacrificed. This knOwlede OF thorough
determination TO see fair play is relied upon 10
hold the desperate element in check Renaud
four hundred, those expected TO pay 30 ei1ch lot
tickets to be spectators in the inner rlng' are
popularity supposed to be men who VIII under no
circumstances interfere Win the ughlers'
IemisOu's men will be placed IN the outside
ring TO hold the ten dollar crowd IN cheek
Only the decreed seconds, the umpire and Dot
tie holders, and perhaps ha1-uOZen picked
men, viii be allowed IN the small enclosure
around the battle ring IN front OF the spectators
inner ring Ii, however, an outrage should
occur among the number of Buds four hundred,
there would be nothing to prevent shower of
ieaden bullets that would stagger Ward
McAuaster or Stuyvesant Fish. Remand expects
there vail be about two thousand i've hundred
spectators. Other judges estimate 200,
while some sports place the number at 5,UOG
Renaud'S figures are probably correct. In this
crowd nine men out OF every ten will cary fire
arms and are men who can handle guns as
easily as u boy can spin top. Wherever 4
COterie of sports is gathered, guns Is the sub
ject discussed. There is an under current Of
apprehension that should anything 20 wrong
there Will be 4 fusilade Of bullets. II tire opens
in a crowd so uCuseiy packed around 4 small
enclosure the result can easily be imagined. On
the other hand, Renaud and odd Times say
there will be no disturbance and the affair VIII
be as peaceful and Joyous as Sunday school
picnic No one, however, will deny the posi-
Diiity of trouble, and II best 1t IS an occasion
where the nerve and judgement OF Captain JCm-
iSOn viii be put TO the test.
While the feelings of the principals is bitter,
it 'es when compared with the hatred for each
otter which exists between the seconds. 10th
Mitchell and Donovan are dead nuts on Cleary,
rs q New York athletic club professor expresses
il. somehow or other ktlrain's esQuires have
the impression that Cleary VIII attempt 70 play
tricks when they advance to pick up their man
a. the end Of the round II is said to be pert OF
the play that the seconds viii engage IN "a
grangle when the principals wTangle on the
Sward. and in the coming battle there VIII be no
Lack Of conversation, perhaps something more
tOrcible, between the men who are TO guard the
interests OF the fighters.
Indications for aInlcable agreement upon
the referee grow smaller. The men mentioned
50 far-AleXander Brewster Edgar Seche, Pat
DuIy-all say they viii not serve. 1t IS not pos
lively known that any one of them, except
Brewster is acceptable TO both sides.
Should there be Il hitch in selecting the referee
an July 3 there will be much confusion over fu-
sure movements, and the only man who would
act with authority in the premises would be Al
C'ridge, final stake holder, now in New York
and who has said that he will not be present at
the fight Cridge'S absence under the circum
stances would almost hOpeleSSly involve the
affair. Kilrain said, however, that should such
an eXigency arise he will propose 10 sullivan
that the stakes be waived and the fight go on
without q referee. Sullivan disposition Is too
welIknown to permit the belief that he would
reject such an ol1er, and then the greatest stake
ever fought for would be returned TO the back
ers ana the men would receive nothing but the
excursion money which, after the expenses are
deducted, will probably amount to 5000
Governor Nichols still holds the cards on the
-aw There is no law in Louisiana against prize
lighting, but by stretching point, however, the
Governor could prevent Inc creWC from leaving
New Orleans by arresting several of the prOml-
ElenL participants on warrant charging them
.S.Lh III intention of committing breach Of the
peace If proved this misdemeanor is punish
Oale By a tine of 81 500 and unless the person or
tersons can be placed under bonds to keep the
peace Manager Remand can be placed under
bonds TO keep the peace. Manager Remand IS
hourly in receipt of letters ana kilograms by the
hundreds asking information about the hight and
volunteering services in various capacities.
Some of these communications are extremely
.udcrous, but the point aimed at by large
number of the writer's is TO reach the ring side
without SuTrenGerng SO.
The attendants have been selected by Renaud.
POSSIBLY one or two will be selected yet. DR..
Jumes finney will go as surgeon, DR.. Charles
Ianaud viii attend the broken rnortals, Prof j.
Valentine Smith, tonsOrial artist, will care for
anybody who wants his hair curled, while DIR.
James = Murphy, chlropodist, will be present
n case some one should have pet corns trodden
upon.
Last evening Messrs Barnett, Stevenson,
Donovan, Harding and others were entertained
by the Young Mems Gymnastc club.
