ceremonies, IL Itroduced Corbett amid great cheers. He was accompanied 0y John McVay, of Philade.ph a, who was to oppose him.
 The young Californian walked from the dressing quarters to the ring while cheer after cheer went up. He spraDg lightly up the steps and bowed t0 the assembled multitude. COrbett wore green stockings, white pants and a green belt Before he bad taken blS seat three cheers were gwen for hun.
 Tnen low criticisms on the Ca'ifor- ar's condition Vera heard. Indeed, IL did TO, look as If much was the , matter with hun. There was a pretty exhibItiGn of boxing between CorbetJ ard McVay. MCVay, however, was too beefy and altogether too slow for the ar of the evening. Things livened up tGOre in the bout b tween COrbett and his boxing par her, Jim Daly. Though Daily IS not heavy enough for CoTbett there was some pretty quick fighting and COrbett had a chance to show his nimbleness.
 His remarkably quick and clean science urged the spectators up to the shouting point. No doubt, despite some what disappointing development, Cor bett made host of friends by his clever methods and evident splendid condition.
