ell II he hadi noticed a recent publlca
ton crediting William a. Brady with
still believing tt1at he tMitchelD would
yet fail TO appear.
Yes said Mitchell. II have seen
them: but they do not worry me. Ev-
erybody who knows Mr.. Brady knows
that be is a little man. and liable to say
anything. l will give him credit for
one thing. however. and that is being
snrewd enough to become the manager
OF fighter like CoTbett. There Is some
thing better in that than pasting bills IN
window in advance of show. As far
as Corbett goes he is clever fighter,
but considering that he has a man like
Brady. that lets him out"

Springfield. o., vino says he will be
here to prosecute you on a claim for
scooter detective services III Mississippi,
will show up?'
Not the slightest" answered Mitch
ell. THAT fellow is absolutely no
good. He knows full well that 1 never
hired him. and owe him nothing. Why,
| never saw him untk after the Sullivan
hliraln fight, and, as he is a cripple. l
would have hardly been likely to hire
him to protect me. The truth of the
matter is that he first tried it for black
mail, and finding that would not work,
now keeps it up for newspaper no.

''On last Monday l weighed 1856
pounds. L have very little flesh to get
OF, having been training pretty hard"
wv hat,do you think of Gorbetts dis
belief OF your sincerity regarding the
match?"
That is q piece of Brady's talk. Cor
bett knows that l make all of my
matches myself, and handle my own
business affairs, and that am the one
who has insisted on the matter. As far
as chasing the dollar goes, Corbert has
the hrSt one he ever made, and he will
have il when he dieS'H
Mitchell is looking in the very pink OF
condition, his skin being clear, his eye
bright, and every movement suggestive
OF muscular power. In the party are
Mitchell. Jack FOgarty, his sparring
partner; Harry Darrin, his running
mate; his cook and her husband. The
English champion expresses himself
pleased with his brief experience
of Florida's winter climate. Brady,
vino manages Corbett, is talking too
much in the opinion of the DuYal
Athletic club. The members are mad
about 1t. for they say what he has said
prejudiceS the governor against them
and against the contest. Brady has
been interviewed today. and especially
on his recent trip to New York. To the
intervIewers he has said that the con-
test was sure TO come OF; in fact, that
he has received private adviceS to that
effect. Anybody can see that if what
Brady says is so. Florida has authorities
unworthy OF the office they hold. The
mere statement Is reflection upon the
governor. In fact, it indicates that he
Is not genuine IN his avOwed opposition
TO the contest. ana the same may be
said of all other authorities who
have anything to do with lis pre-
vention. That is the reason the Duval
club is mad, and the reason why they
hot H-e-- H.,
much. In an Interview on the subject
this morning j. E. L. Bowjen, the man
ager of the club, said:
Yes, l see that William A. Brady,
COrbettS manager, IS credited with the
statement that he has received private
dispatches from Florida to the effect
that tile fight would not be interfered
with. Such expressions on his part. in
my mimi. tend 10 prejudice those IN au-
thority against the contest. l have al
ready stated time and again that the
governor would do all in his power 10
stop the contest as long as he Is con-
vinced that there. is any law to stop
contests of this kind: but, as ! have
said before. the courts Will determine
the matter"
"When?'
This week." replied Bowden.
Il will also add that Mr.. Brady's atti-
tude in talking so much tends to make
me little suspicious as to his good
Intentions. He has not received one
word from this Office or any one con-
nected with the Duval Athletic club
VINO is familiar with the ins and outs of
the office on the line Of his expression"
Bat MaSterSon. the Denver sporting
man. IS in the city, guest at the Ever
EFT. Mr.. Masterson is known the length
and breadth of this country. He is
great admirer OF the English champion.
and, if all one hears is true, he is going
to put some Colorado silver on his favor

yard filler in Colorado. and those who

vented gang of toughs from running
things their own way.
Mitchell gave an exhibition tonight to
an immense audience at the opera
house. At the conclusion OF the English
mans bout with Fogarty there were
loud calls Tor a speech, and Mitchell
stepDed TO the footlights and said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: | thank you
for the more than kind reception ex-
tended to me. You all see that / have
turned up OH time, and, nothing outside
preventing, l shall meet James j. Cor
bett in the ring on the appointed date.
Although [ may fail TO surprise you to-
night, I hope to do so on that occasion"
Mitchell and his party leave for st.
Augustine tomorrow, where the English
man will Immediately 90 into training
