to be insuYmountable obstacles and ar

I As understand it. the Myers McAuliffe
fight is to take place September 5, the men
Z to weigh in at 135 pounds and the purse to
aggregate 81, 900. OF this the club puts

Dixon and Skelly, who are to go into the
! ring at lis u pounds. In addition to the
purse offered by the club each man is

nights will take place in the magnificent
new club house. in which the arena is ar
ranged to comfortably seat about ten or
twelve thousand people.
In my opinion all the fights will he first
