approaching fights will either be in New

ance Saturday evening, and McAuliffe,

and will come to town either Sunday or
Monday,
The Olympic Club announces every
thing in readiness for the big contests, and
reports from all directions, together with
the rapidity with which the tickets are
being disposed of, indicate that the crowds
at all three fights will be larger than any
that have witnessed such affairs in the CITY
since club pugilism took the big BOOM
The announcement is made authori-
tatively that Corbett will not reach here
until Tuesday morning. The reason
given is that his friends do not wish him
subjected TO the danger of an attack
of malaria. President Campbell of the
Southern Athletic Club will appoint a
committee to meet the Californian at the
train and escort him to the club. Corbett
is to stop at the residence Of member of
the Southern Athletic Club, and will be
only two squares away from the club
gymnasium.

Saturday evening. President Noel will
appoint committee of the Olympic Club
TO meet the champion at the train and
take him to his temporary quarters. Ar
raugements are being made to secure
quarters for Sullivan on Rampant street,
near the Young Mems Gymnasium Club,
and 1t is quite likely the big fellow, for
the few days he is in town, will have the
same rooms he occupied when he stopped
here just before the Kilrain fight.
Joseph Dare and committee from the
Olympic Club will meet Billy Myer at
the Illinois Central depot tomorrow
night. There will be a big delegation of
the public also on hand. Mayer is to be

Lieutenant Trochu made some statements
that offended Captain Foa, who there
upon sent him challenge. Lieutenant
Trochu's Colonel forbade the duel, and
Foa determined to vent his rage in an
other manner. He went to the officers
mess yesterday afternoon and, according
to one account, threw his glove in the
face OF Lieutenant Trochu, whereupon he
was promptly thrown out of the room.
Lieutenant Trochu says that the door of
the mess-room was suddenly opened and
Captain Foa entered, shouting at him,
"Iu box your ears" The Lieutenant
seized stick and belabored the Captain
and kicked him at the same time. The
other officers present threw bottles and
other missiles at the Captain, and de-
canter struck him, inflicting a slight
wound. Then the pugnacious officer was
picked up and forcibly thrown out of the
room. subsequently both Lieutenant
