and that it will give him great pleasure to
have the opportunity on boxing night to
meet his fellow-assOciate, Phil Bouid, in

was about to take his departure for Aus

marks concerning jim C0rbett, because the
latter left this city without having wished
him bon voyage. 1t was thought by many

the receipts from Corbett's benefit. and that
he appeared only because of the friendship
existing between them. a New York re-
porter recently interviewed COrbett on the
matter as follows:
