The Directors of the California Club de-
any more money than they have already
drawn down.
Charley Stencil was present in behalf Of
Corbett, and Jackson represented his own
interests. The latter said that he had done his
best, and thought that the club might honor
both fighters, even though there was no con-
clusion. by ordering a division OF $4,000 at
least.
Stencil left the club-room, and reported
the final decision of the board TO COrbett,
who was at the Bush-street Theater. The
latter said very emphatically that it would
be the last time that he would fight under the
clubs auspices, even though he was offered
purse of $4,000
- guess" added Corbett, sarcastically,
that SOggng matches with plenty of gore
would suit the California Club, Its an
nouncement, a purely scientific contest,
was only to be a mask to fool the public.

The Sacramento Athletic Club las noti-
fed the Boxing Committee Of the Olympic
Club that It's representative will not enter
the tournament because the club has not re-
celYed timely notice Of the contests. This
is mistake. The Olympic Club notified all
clubs eligible to a representation that the
tournament would take place on the evening
OF the 28th inst, and the only reason for the
Sacramento club sending such a vague eX-
cuse at the twelfth hour Is that none OF its
members are DESTROYS OF meeting members
Of other clubs who have become proficient
ID the manly art of self-defense.
