The weather here has been very pleasant
for the past week and if it continues until
July s, the pugilists viii suffer little from
the usually tOrrid weather. New Orleans
sports declare that they viii see fair play
at the ring side and few believe there viii
be any trouble.
There is some talk of Mike Cleary aud
Charley Mitchell performing after the big
tIght is over, but it is hardly likely that the
,.aver Philadelphian will be able to draw
.lthe wiley Mitchell into SO Improbable an
engagement.
Jack Barnett and Jimmy Wakely are ex-
pected here tomorrow.
The governors proclamation is severely
criticized in certain quarters. 1t is consid-
cred his duty to stop the fight if he can, but
= sudden change Of policy is condemned.
During the riots in Lafayette, Iberia and
Gretna he was called upon for assistance,
but in each case responded that it was the
sheriff's duty to preserve the peace, and
that he would only interfere when the
sheriff's power had been overthrown. The
Gretna riot was Matching for three days
within two miles of the governors resi-
dence, yet he issued no proclamation and
made no offer to assist the sheriff
