Peter jackson arrived per the leu
ionic on Thursday. She bad a vel.
.ough voyage, but Peter told me SS,
he did not suffer any from seR-sic5t nass
'e'sIsr,<5 a'ss .iesHsa meal
United States p He had seat at
- une best tables on the ship, and
Sas quite lion among the passen-
"a. who bad among them such nOta-
bles As Wilson Barrett, the eminent
actor: Senator Edmunds, j. w. Mackey,
the millionaire; Ben Folsom, old
Growers relative by marriage, and
Joseph ChOate, the great lawyer. The
latter gentleman presided at the
entertainment given on the ship
3 night or so before her arrival,
and on taking the chair he made
felicitous alluslon 70 the great colored
boxer. Jackson was not surprised at
the result Of the COrbett-Sullivan fight.
in fact. he expected IL. he would like
very much TO get on another match
with COrbett, aud he thinks jim ought
20 accept the offer OF the $4,000 purse
which the National Club OF London
offers for twenty-round ego" between
them. I told him that / thought jim
would prefer a fight to finish IN this
country, and that l was sure the Coney
Island Athletic Club would give much
bigger purse for such a contest than
anv other club In christeudOm. Think
there Is but little doubt that Peter will
AZ Corbett TO give him another chance
At him. He won't ask Jim 10 hight
before the close OF his theatrical
season, but he does think he ought to
make A match before that time, and ne
can't understand why Jim should prefer
q match with Charley Mitchell TO one
with him. I suggested that probably
Jim thought that there would be greater
popularity Ia defeating Charley than IN
beating him, and, besides, be might
think the lob an easier task. BE smiled
at this implied compliment to MS nStle
ability.
When told him that Joe Goddard
was IN New York, also asked him:
..Were you really 10 good condition
when you met him 10 Australia"
~ was in good enough condition" he
Fered.
Ntrhen how did he come to make such
= good showing with your" ] next
oaeried. He shrugged his shoulders as
he replied, II can't tell"

ing Carroll, johnny Griffin, from abroad,
while all Of our OWa scrappers are here
except Corbett and Sullivan, who are
both making money on the road. Dave
Holland informs me that Peter Maher
will not train at East Hampton, as was
6rst intended, but down 80 the Nave
sink Highlands, together with Bu1aio
Constello The Buffalo" has promised
10 set..o. with Peter every day, and his
