CHARLOTTE, N. c., Sept. 4.--The Cor
bett special over the Richmond d. Dam
vile railway has had a pleasant run
from Washington, although an hour
late. Corbett slept well, and got up
about s a. III. as clipper as a lark and
feeling like a fighting-cock. The train
was to run to Charlottesville for break
fast, but owing to the delay in getting
away from Washington the programme
was changed, II they stopped owe at
Danviile, where an excellent meal was
served. Corbeit ate a hearty breakfast.
One OF the most noticeable events of the
trip was when Corbett, after his car had
been attached to the special, sauhtered
through to greet Prof. Mike Donovan.
As he entered the car "Vassar'' a small
baby boy was saying his evening pray
erS. COrbett was attracted to him by
his pertchirp. Corbett patted and Detted
the child, and the child, after praying
for its and papa, closed its SIM
pie prayer by wishing that 'God would
bless MIR. Corbett." The party left Dan
vile shortly after Q o'clock, fully
Two Hours Behind
the time scheduled. The run from
Washington to DanviiIe was a fast one,
and the majority of the passengers
were shaken up so thoroughly that they
could not sleep. The Danville people
turned out in force to see Corbeti. 1t
was not Il bowling. shouting crowd, but :
more of a critical assemblage. The
story of the fight and break between
Corbett II DAILY is false. DAILY is still
Ill the party and has not even a scratch
Or mark of any description to indicate
that he had ever had any difficulty with
Corbett or any one else. On the con-
trary. they are on the best of terms,
and both empbatically deny having had
any difficulty whatever. Warren Lewis
dld not get a chance to see Corbett until
this morning, and the big Californian
was asleep when he, "ParsOn' Davies
and their party boarded the train at
Washington. Lewis was very much
pleased with Corbett's appearance,
and said that he was Just
the shape Hall was in WHEN
he whipped Pritchard. 1t is
his opinion that it won't do for the Sui
livan people to offer big odds when they
reach New Orleans. The majority of
the people of this train will go straight
through in order to take in the Nc
Auliffe-Myer fight.
"ParsOn'' Dayies Preached

Salisbury d very large crowd of people
gathered around the train and yelled
like Indians for Corbett to show himself,
and they we're more than surprised to see
Corbett and ChOynski make their APP
pearance together, chatting pleasantly
as they showed themselves to the as
sembiage. AT Greensboro Corbett made
quite a pleasant little speech to the
crowd, and was heartily cheered. Cor
bett and Choynski made up between
Greensboro and Salisbury, and much
credit is due to Eugene Comiskey, of
the New York Athletic club, for the
able manner in which he engineered
the meeting between these pueilists.
There was rejoicing all oyer the train
when 1t was learned that these gladia-
TORS had a hands and made up, as
they were school boys together, and had
not only fought

together, but had allowed that bitter
feeling toward each other to grow until
they fought it out as men in the profess

superior pugilist, and wished him sue

New Orleans. He then presented Cor
bett with a wish bone, stating that it
was brought from Europe with him.
and hoping that this would bring him
good luck. At Salisbury an old farmer
boarded the train and asked Corbett if
he would kindly allow him to feel his
muscles. The big Californian smiled
pleasantly aud let him feel his arm.

slapped in the face by a tall Southerner,
who called for ''Three cheers for Cor
bett," which were given with a will.
For Twenty-Four Hours.
At Charlotte, n. c., Corbett's car was
uncoupled from the special and side
tracked. Corbett and party % 10
stay twenty-tour hours here: Prof. Nc
Donald, Manager Brady, DAILY and
Dillon remained over with the party.
Lunch was taken at the depot hotel,
after which the party returned to the
car and played cards until 2:30. when
two carriages took Corbett and his
trainer five miles out of town, when he
got out and ran the rest of the way back
to the city at a swift pace. He then
punched the bag for thirty minutes and
finished the day by wrestling and
boxing with Daily for over an
hour. He finished fresh, and every

simply superb. After being rubbed
down Corbett repaired to the rooms of

ception was rendered him by some of
the best citizens Of Charlotte. After
supper more games of cards were
played. and at 9 O'Clock Corbett retired.
