CORBETT'S SCALP.

shut
he IS PANToMIME BOXER.
He made fine newspaper talk this morn
ing and L have sent my reply. Now, let us
hear from him."
In Madden's letter he mentions the fact
that Corbett has said he is anxious to make
a match with Maher; that each man has
$1,000 forfeit on deposit, and that Corbett
has said that If the balance Of the stake OF
$1,000 is not put down at once, he will claim
the forfeit. Then Madden continues; Set
US see what are facts of the case. Mr.. Cor
bett has for months, been shouting that hs
wanted to fight Charley Mitchell. He
posted money to make such match and he
boldly proclaimed that it was Mitchell or
nobody. At that time there wss little lik-
mood Oh Mitchell coming here, and so /
OFFERED TO PUT MAHER AGAINST coRBETF.
The latter decided that he would make such
a match after December 10, if Mitchell
either did not come here or re-
fused to fight. Now, however,
that Mitchell is on the ocean,
he shows great haste to get Mahsr to fight.
For man who wanted MitchelI's scalp
before taking any other this action Of Cor
bett is strange indeed. But l will let that
pass. l am really anxious to have Peter
Maher meet Mitchell and Corbett also, but
l deferred to Corbett and agreed to the
date he named so as to give him a chance
at Mitchell. AS, however,
HE HAS APPARENTLY CHANGED HIS MIND.
will agree to 20 on with our match at the
proper time. Now, DO not want to have
matters so arranged that when Mitchell
arrives he can rub his hands with glee and
say: oh, an, will fight the winner I
don't want match made that will prevent
match with Mitchell for either Corbett or
Maher.
THE main object of both Corbett and
myself in posting the money was
TO GET MITCHELL IN THE RING.
If Corbett and Maher are matched Mitchell
will escape. If even after such match
was made Mitchell agreed to meet Corbett
or Maher, no club would give purse for
Corbett and Maher and the latter would be-
shut out. So far as Corbett's claiming the
forfeit, / will say that 1 never paid a for

match, and am not going to begin now.

it is unfortunate that two meetings
should have been called for the
purpose of expressing the universal
regret at His Majesty's death, and
of thanks to the United States Gov
ernment, the State of California.

necessary courtesy to His Majesty,
living and departed. l feel sure
that wrong idea may be conveyed
abroad as well as through the ISL
ands. Surely no political feeling
entered into the accident that two
meetings happened to be called
when all the community have the
same thought, and the projectors
of both meetings did not happen to
meet. We are all united, there is
no difference of feeling In this mat
ter. All are ready and anxious to
! pay their tribute to the memory OF
the departed Sovereign. Let US
